What was your last “impulse buy” and was it worth it?

May I introduce you to the concept of pouring a ton of Cheetos onto a plate, then picking them up one-by-one by adhering your tongue to them like a chameleon?
You can chameleon them out of the tube if you want to be fancy, I'm trying to save us some time, no dishes to wash, no hands to clean, yeah you look like you sucked off an oompaloompa, but I can still bust sick lines on thps 3+4 with a completely Cheeto stain free controller.

Fancy jar of honey from the grocery store for me. Tasted pretty good.
30 packs of gaming cards. Hell yeah it was. Not a single good pull but it’s always fun to crack packs

Onewheel pint off FB marketplace for $300.
Showed up, turned it on and the light came on without any issues and the tire was deflated (neglected for a few years bc the guy bought a new one. Also the guy was a dad who died, so his son was selling it.) I assumed it worked. Got home, tried to start it, and I bonked the pavement with the front. Apparently the sensor was broken and it costed $150 to replace.
is it worth it? for 300, yes 100%. for 500.. ehhhhh.
edit: also thinking of starting a sub about onewheels
Was the cat included?

How many bags do you have now? I'll confess I'm a serial manybagger. The damned GAS FOMO gets me almost every time.
Do you have a bag for your bags?

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260. Stuck Linux mint on it (because I'm a Linux noob). £170, cheap.
It's pretty great. I just wish I could get a consistent touchscreen experience because I like to fold the keyboard back and use it like a tablet in bed. It works like a charm on Firefox, but outside of that, the touchscreen is hit or miss. I just want it to work like an iPad or Android tablet in terms of navigation (swipes, long presses, etc.)
Overall though I'm pretty happy with it. Excellent for torrenting and file management and mostly lightweight shit.
KDE gestures?
I know they reworked it completely a couple of years ago, but I'm an insane person who uses XFCE in touch mode so I wouldn't know lol.

I bought an IMAX film cell of Interstellar. It was a little pricey but I love the movie and I also shoot film.

I had to reconsider. My thumb joint was grouchy after a few months.
Edit: my clone reminds me he absolutely loves his neu-logitech-trackpad thing he uses. He likes that it's got three buttons instead of two and a dinky little rolly-nub, and he wouldn't part with his without a fight (and he's trained in pistol, c-7 in 'party mode', sword, staff, hands, and impolite words, so he'll have it even after the fall of society)
I really like the Kensington Expert mouse for this reason. Expert Mouse Wired Trackball
I use my index and middle fingers to manipulate the ball (together or alternating scissor-walk like fashion), and ring finger to turn the wheel. Thumb for left click (bottom left button), and ring finger to right click (top right button). The hand doesn't move at all, with movement all in the fingers.
It freaks out visitors when they try to use it, but it's a life saver for click intensive workflows. So much so that I would have a second as a backup.
My only complaint for it if I had one is that the scroll wheel can get a little loud with aggressive scrolling in a single direction, like trying to get to the bottom of a page. -
Oblivion Remastered. It turns out I don't really have the patience for inventory/weight management anymore.
There was some patch that sets the weight of everything to 0, so to can focus on the storyline.

GeForce 5090. Had been saving up for last few years, it came in stock and I bought without thinking much about it.
It’s worth it because it’s fast. Not worth it because it was expensive and warms up the room too much. I really underestimated how hot it would make my room.
I do regret buying it. Since now I’m short on cash.

Silksong and Alan Wake 2 on the same day. Loving the former even though it is kicking my arse. The latter doesn't seem to run well on my series s - only about 4 hours in and had 2 hard crashes. I think it's running out of RAM.

I bow down to your superior Cheetoing methods.

My first 3D printer. It’s been fun so far!
Tbh: I hate your printer to the guts. Everything about it.
Why?
After years of tinkering with various more or less self build ones, I finally caved in last autumn and bought a P1S, having enough of tinkering. I needed a machine that works but couldn't justify the X1C, even though most things I do are more technical than deco/toys.
Shortly after Bambu started that firmware crap. While the customer protection legal threads which I took part in have very likely stopped the worst of it and brought the "developer mode", it's still crap and well, it was a stupid idea to buy BL,yes.
(Even though my machine does work very well so far...besides the shitty AMS)Then, when I just managed to get less salty about that, the Centauri Carbon came out. Which would have been the perfect machine for me if only...I had known about it back then (none did). It does what the P1S does not do well, it is basically everything what I would have needed out of a X1C.
God damn it.To get over that I needed to back the Snapmaker U1 as a possible replacement for the P1S. Even though I know it will require extended tinkering to get it to print what I want it to do.
Argh!
(Or maybe I get a Centauri afterwards and risk divorce over it?)So I hate your printer and my only solace is that you will spend much more money on filament than you will on your printer.
Oh fuck,I did that,too.
Damn.(Seriously, though: Welcome to the club. It's one of the most marvelous hobbies I ever took up. Especially if you learn how to construct yourself in CAD - which is easier than one would think. And btw: Google Spoolman and MPCNC :D)

A Pico 4 (without the Ultra) used from eBay for 125€.
I absolutely do not need one. But it is fun (I know, not many people actually use theirs really and I thought the same for a long time.

I collect old tech. I recently bought three things all from Apple: and 7th gen iPod Nano, a 1st gen iPod Nano, and an iPhone 3GS.
These things were honestly stupid rare in my country, since I never recall seeing an iPod in the wild at all, and an iPhone before the 4, so seeing these in my thrift store immediately made me buy them.
Even though neither of the iPods work, and the 3GS turns on, but with a dead battery and boots to an iOS 4 style recovery screen, I have to say it's definitely worth it just to have these as display items.
