What does 1000€ buy you in your favourite hobby?

1L flasks, dimroth condenser, heating mantle, heating plate, materials to build an electric kiln, if i have anything left i'd use it on chemicals
and i'm probably already overbudget, home chemistry is fucked price-wise, we're lucky to have synthware for all our glassware needs but for equipment you either diy it or go broke (a good hotplate is ~500$ new, 200$ used in bad conditions)

My favorite hobby is piracy... so...
Idk... like 200 months of VPN with Mullvad I guess?
Far cheaper than actually paying like 5 subscription services and also have to deal with ads. yaRrr
️fellow sailer here, didn't mullvad discontinue port forwarding a while ago?

Two new hobbies to keep me in the reality^tm^.
::: spoiler for the twisted
It's just art and music. Plus a likely revival of old skill.

Whilst my grow light is rather good, there are upgraded options I could take advantage of. For my small sized grow area I could try my hand at a small rDWC setup, a new light, and an automated system for persistently maintaining VPD (perhaps one of those ACFinity ones with the app, or a similar sort of thing).

… my favorite hobby “this week”
A basic road bike I guess?

(except there's been a heat advisory where I live for the past week so I can't ride safely

Yes, but we've been having a few hot days around here and temperatures over 30°C really degrade the effectiveness of the medication. I bought a sewing machine on Saturday.
wh— ok that explains a lot about why I'm such a pansy about heat
i wonder if stimulants are biochemically less effective in heat, or it's just that our brains have to also deal with the sensory overload of melting to death thus eating into the medication's mitigation of dopamine deficit... or both perhaps

All you need to start playing Standard, Pioneer and maybe Modern in Magic the Gathering. Or like maybe half a Legacy deck.
In my other hobbies which are rebuilding with old lego by hand and imagination, baking and reading a grand will keep me good for a year. Or 5. Depends on motivation and how many free books I pick up.

A low-uptime server to backup my current one
Or a really crazy sex toy maybe, depends on how responsible I'm feeling

A new practice basket. A new stack of practice putters. A cart. With plenty left over for me to get a few more backups for some of my favorite discs.

Almost endless quantities (for me anyway) of 3d printing filament and small electronic parts.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]A few years ago I finally sold my assortment of still-sealed merch I was given during my time at WotC (Phyrexia through Innistrad). It fetched almost $5k. Still, it's hard to believe a grand won't buy a thoroughly awesome legacy deck. Never really was a player myself tho and I haven't kept up with current prices at all, so I believe it.

Hmm I'd have to admit I had idea what port forwarding is, but I searched it and apparantly if you don't have it, torrents are slower?
Mullvad was just for the sake of the question, I used Mullvad for a month, the IVPN, but nah, it aint for me. Those have too few servers to choose from and thus too many people are using the same servers, so Youtube ended up red flagging it, and require signing in. I use ProtonVPN now, because there are like 11000 servers (I think?) so its really easy to get a server that's not blocked by Youtube.

About like 10 of the must have flashlights or a few good customs. Or one fourth of some really extreme ones.

Yes, you can. I guess I should have been more specific because I was thinking of a complete kit when I wrote that (so including helmet, boots, gloves, etc) and you do need to set your sights a bit lower to make the budget work for that.
fair enough, safe riding

The wind is good when you’re moving but as soon as you stop for a red light… you die…!
