Maybe it was a purchase, maybe an experience? What did you treat yourself to?

        I appreciate the PSA. I might add:

        To avoid developing hemorrhoids while seated, minimize pressure on the anorectal vasculature by limiting toilet time to less than 5-10 minutes and avoiding straining with defecation. Prolonged sitting increases intra-abdominal and rectal venous pressure, leading to vessel engorgement and possible displacement of the anal cushions. Additionally, adopting a supported-squat posture (knees elevated above hips with a footstool) can straighten the anorectal angle, reducing the physiological “kink” created by the puborectalis muscle and facilitating easier, less strained evacuation.

        To put it in layman’s terms. And totally not AI.

    I got my nails done. I’ve only had fake nails once, but I went to a wedding and I wanted to look nice. I got gel nails in dark blue with a cat eye finish. The ladies at the salon were super helpful and picked out a good color that matched my dress. It was awesome, but I don’t regularly pay $85+ for something that only lasts 2 weeks. I’ll get them removed in a week and get a basic manicure to help my nails recover.

    They do look pretty fabulous though 💅

    Ordered some nice handmade leatherworking knives.

    The irony of it is that I accidentally sliced off a sliver of fingertip the other day with my current one. Damn things are like miniature guillotines, but if nothing else, it’s a testament to my ability to sharpen a round knife

    I’m slowly allowing myself to eat more after a long history of dealing with an ED :)

    I bought a plasma cutter and a GPU. In the past I would get used GPU from eBay because it’s cheaper but the demand for them has made the market a little crazy and there’s very little price difference new vs used (UK). The price performance sweet spot seems to be AMD 9070xt (£550, ouch).

    The plasma cutter is an old three phase machine that no one wanted because it’s 400V. However, looking at the circuit diagram there’s very little difference between single and 3-phase configuration so the plan is to convert it to a domestic supply or cannibalise the internals and torch assembly.

    Upgraded my pc that had been running with the same specs since 2013 (except a 2016 GPU), and bought oblivion remastered. Any recommendations for the first playthrough? (No spoilers please)

      There’s a special house (anvil), you should try and finish that quest early for an epic payoff :). Have fun, hero of Kvatch!

    Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 bundle for the Switch 2. Partly a treat for me, partly for my kids. I want them to play it like I did when I was a kid. 😊 Although the games look so much better on a 65" OLED than they did on my thicc TV back in the day. But that’s okay. I’m enjoying the updated graphics too. It doesn’t take away from the experience.

  • I’ve been desiring to get back into videography as a hobby for a few years now. And after I upgraded my smartphone to a Galaxy S23+, which has greater camera sensors than my previous Pixel 2, I knew it was time to get myself a phone gimbal. I chose to go with the Hohem iSteady M7. It’s got a learning curve to it that I wasn’t expecting, really. So I’m still better learning and remembering how to use it still. Should be fun though, in a month from now.

      Why do I search for that and only find it between $200 and $1000? Granted it’s AUD but still, where do you find this for less than a rpi?

        On ebay.fr, no power block but otherwise complete. Mostly they go for more like 60-70€ shipping included, but sometimes you get lucky!
