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

Fancy jar of honey from the grocery store for me. Tasted pretty good.
An adorable plushie

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

Kindle. Best fucking piece of tech I own.

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.

Is that finished or still ongoing?
Not sure, haven't had time to read it yet.

I've gotten really into radio over the past year or so. The most practical usage I've gotten is a few FRS radios (licence free walkie talkies, like what we used as kids basically) at a renn fest that has no cell service and at a pride event when someone didn't wanna take their phone to a porta potty (better to risk accidentally drop a $10 radio into the toilet than an expensive smart phone with all your pictures).
Our RenFest is also super spotty with cell coverage, so that’s nice. GMRS uses the same bands as FRS, so they’re compatible, but GMRS allows 1) Removable antennas for better coverage 2) More power (FRS 2 vs 50 watts on GMRS) 3) Repeaters for very wide coverage (I hear people talking from 60+ miles away on a local repeater once in a while).
The radios are more expensive, starting around $20 but the benefits are pretty nice.

Registered for a fan run Nancy Drew -esque 3 day event in WA for 2026. Went to the one this year and it was a blast, registered right before it filled up.
Any specifics regarding this specific event? Sounds interesting

You are not legally allowed to use GMRS if you or someone in your immediate family doesn't have a license and I would never ever ever dream of violating the FCC rules. I would never. I would never ever have FRS radios use more bandwidth and/or power if their firmware allowed. I would never use them without call signs if I did, but I wouldn't do it because I don't!

I’ve been trying but it keeps breaking my brain for some reason. I’ll keep trying. Maybe I’ll get the hang of it. Thanks.
You could also use the Reaper crest if you've found it. It does a down attack straight down. Really helped me get the hang of pogo hopping

I’ll keep that in mind, I haven’t found it yet but I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks.
