Treadmill. I live in a country where it’s just not possible to run outside during winter so I used to gain some extra weight during those cold and dark months. Now I am in better shape than I have ever been during my life.
Funny to see we are polar opposites I got used to running in winter to stay warm and having to slowly walk to not overheat in Florida

Nothing, just hoarding money until i realy need it.
You’re gonna be throwing the most amazing funeral!
Don’t be ridiculous. The healthcare system will wring it all out of them before they let them die.
I’m in EU, so I’m not that fucked.

My bookbag and also my Thinkpad T530 which is in my bookbag. I bought it for $99 at a goodwill and honestly it’s slowing down but it’s still the best laptop I’ve ever had. I just want this exact model with better specs

Good on you!!
An air fryer. Those things are miracle machines.
Agreed. I can cook a meal in 20 minutes that takes an hour in the oven. Everything comes out crispy, not greasy.
Mid twenties, I bought two items at a luggage store near the Castro in sf. One was a weekend bag for camping, or visiting another city, can hold 3 days of clothes. Another was a small bag for daily use. Lesbian here, I don’t carry purses, just bags the size of purses, way more functional.
I’m late 40s now. Traveled, wandering, homelessness, camping, backpacking, have put those bags thru hell for over 20 years. They still look brand new. The small black bag, still use daily. I’m constantly astounded by what I can fit in it. It’s like the tardis.

Got a PEO cam recommendation? Not a big thing for me, but I got a 16-port POE switch and having cams about can sure act like insurance for certain life events.
(I’m cheap and care for about nothing but POE compatibility, a FOSS software system and infrared.)
My kindle?
Are you asking us or telling us?
Maybe? It could be my Kindle? I don’t know? I don’t know why people end statements with question marks? For example, in this comment, none of these sentences is a question? So they shouldn’t end in a question mark? But people often write like this? It’s quite strange to me? Have a nice day?
Reusable water bottle. It’s just something I always have on me and it’s great because I’m not wasting money on plastic with liquid in it.
I’m not wasting money on plastic with liquid in it.
What are you wasting the money on now?
Liquid with plastic on it.
Ah, a boat
God I hate it when I accidentally drink a boat
Mine is an extension of my body. I can’t not have it with me going out. But I get thirsty a lot. Took me a while to fine one that works for me size and function wise.
it’s honestly crazy to me that this isn’t an item every person owns. the fact that some people call it a ‘reusable’ bottle, as if that isn’t the standard, is shocking.
like imagine historic humans spending time making a clay bottle or leather waterskin only to just throw it away on the ground after using it a single time. “disposable” bottles and other plastics are a crime against humanity and that’s not even an exaggeration
To make things even worse is that you can still reuse the disposable ones not as nice as metal ones but are lighter when empty and get the job of holding water until you get thirsty ultimately you can pretty easily tell who is from the country by what they consider a normal water bottle is because one person can easily just go to a store and get a new water bottle much more often than the other guy
yeah maybe true about rural/urban, but any city boy who’s ever been camping probably owns a normal reusable bottle
Honestly, the one liter smart bottle is my favorite.
I’ve found that I do like the metal smart water bottles too bad they’re ment to be disposable as I hate how fragile the caps are id love a bottle of that size so it fits in my cars cup holder but also has a cap so I don’t have to walk so carefully with it
Thanks for being honest with us.
A pair of shoes of proper width EE. My feet are fairly wider than average, and suffered for years in improper width footwear. Never thought my feet could actually feel comfortable in footwear ever.
I was browsing comments to see if this has been said. People have wider feet than they think and really good pair of well fitting shoes makes a big difference. I use New Balance as my daily drivers and for work I wear insulated Timberlands in the winter and Reebok tactical boots in the summer. Game changer when you have comfortable shows.
Try some actual shoe companies where most of the price isn’t just lining for a shareholder’s pockets.
Admittedly, hard to find and very country specific, but the same cost buys quality, not yachts
Just saw your comment many weeks later.
HEY EVERYONE, I FOUND THE VIRTUE SIGNALER HERE!
This was a simple, non-controversial thread and you had to be the one to make it an issue.
Global Entry. Best $100 I ever spent, even with the headache of the application and scheduling interviews at airports. I only fly a few times a year and I’ve still probably accumulated high tens of hours of time saved from aggravation and standing in queue.
I used to feel the same way, but then I was standing in a (short) global entry line and I watched people breeze right by that. Found out they were just using the free CBP app. Felt a little cheated, honestly.
Haven’t been doing as much international travel since second kid was born, so we didn’t get him global entry. Last trip we did I used the app instead. It was just as fast as global entry, possibly faster.
The only real reason to get global entry again now is for tsa ore check, and there are easier and cheaper ways to get that.
Good info! Will look into this.
