    If you already have a good computer, that much money could outfit an entire home music recording studio with decent gear, especially if you buy good used gear, which is easily available:

    A couple of good super-budget guitars from Harley Benton (a Strat clone and a Les Paul clone), for about $300 (new).

    A good Yamaha acoustic guitar, $100.

    A bass, $75.

    An interface, to get the music into the computer, $50.

    A basic MIDI controller, $30.

    A good electronic keyboard with weighted keys, $100.

    Microphone, $75.

    Headphones, $50.

    Electronic drum machine, $50, or use the pads on the MIDI controller, or voices on the keyboard.

    DAW - Reaper is free, and works great.

    That's approximately what I spent on my studio, and everything works great, and sounds terrific..

              A fuckton of Bionicle parts. Perhaps even enough for a full mask collection, if I find the right people.

                  A pair of running shoes and the remainder will be blown on physio sessions.

                    A mtg cube; all sleeved in a nice box. Endless replayibility with friends with a few updates every year.

                    It's the dream.

                        Lots and lots of games, either boardgames or digital. Or a better computer.

                          Backpacking - Either one really swanky sleep system (the full Zenbivy ultralight), or perhaps one crazy expensive ultralight tent like a Durston, or if we're going budget, an entire setup of basic gear including backpack, tent, cook system, sleeping bag and pad, etc. Everything needed to backpack you could buy for under 1000€ to get started.

                            I've thought about that, but it seems like the kind of thing you don't want to get cheap on.

                            I'd agree, but my understanding is that Elitewheels are quite trustworthy.

                            I'll let you know if they break and I eat pavement

                              One seat.

                              Two tires.

                              Part of an air conditioning kit.

                              Not much really. Expensive 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 🏴‍☠️

                                    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).

                                        (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
