    I've been using trackballs for 25 years. What do you think of the M575? I've got a fleet of old and tired M570s that will need replacement soon.

    I was like you. Both are great your over thinking it. 575 I think has a slightly less rounded curve but trust its nothing to worry about. I swap between both with ease. Matter of fact. I love the 570 sometimes but my hand arch started to get worn out after hours of use. 575 has less of an arch and relaxes the wrist a tad more.

      Bunch of sexy sex clothes and Ben Wa balls for the wife. Worth it?

      Yes.

      How do you introduce these things to a more shy and very vanilla partner?

        I got an MX Ergo. It's godfuckingawful. The M570 looks back at you so your thumb rests forward of the centerline of the ball. The Ergo looks to the side like a lobotomized beluga so your thumb rests on the centerline of the ball reducing the comfortable range of vertical travel. It also developed a nasty case of leprosy, the skin started to blister and peel, so rubber wrapped devices from Logitech are dead to me forever. I just...I've been soldering new click switches into my little herd of 570s because Logitech is really bad at electronics and they used inappropriate switches that wear out prematurely so I've been fixing it instead of buying anything else from them because I am a severely petty man but they're starting to fail in ways I don't know how to fix.

          I've got a bad right click on my 570 and it's years old. That's part of what caused me to get a 575. That and work I needed something good rather than a traditional mouse.

          Edit: get a 575 you will make concessions but given your ergo trust me it's worth doing. Retire those 570s!

            Digital copies of the entire run of the Girl Genius webcomic. Very worth it.

              A used Wii-U in immaculate condition. Windwaker is one of my favorite games, and it's even better in HD. $48.

                  ....a home gym. As much as it has destroyed my budget for the remainder of the year and more than likely next year, it is absolutely worth it.

                    I just bought a cordless stick vacuum, which can also mop. It was on a good discount (450€ -> 150€) and I've been thinking of getting something like that for a while. I don't necessarily need it, but it has been a very great tool since I have people come over every week and I have a child and there are spills of food and drinks. It really cleans up well and mops the floor also. 10/10 would recommend.

                          I checked the tineco and seems like it's pretty similar. I have a robo vacuum also and it handles the carpets like a champ, so they work pretty well in tandem. The robovac also mops, but for cleaning spills the stick vacuum is faster and easier to use. I hate cleaning (don't know many who loves it tbh) so every bit that makes it easier is a win for me.

                                A Ninja Luxe Café Pro. I've wanted a machine like this at home since forever! And yes, the purchase was definitely worth it.

                                    Watch the 50 Shades trilogy and be open in the relationship from the very beginning so you're not afraid to say what you feel, or ask if any of that would be something they'd like to do. 😅

                                        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

                                        Are you sure the front sensor doesn't work at all, or is it just finicky? Have you tried pitting a small furniture pad on each side of the front pad to focus your food pressure?

                                          Demon's Tilt on the Switch. I'd been vaguely interested in it for a while and it was on sale for $10. I played a little and enjoyed it but I think it's gonna be one of those things I have to be in the mood for, and I'm just not today. I've spent $10 on dumber things, so no, I don't regret it.
