Bungee cord rebounder (Trampoline). This is perfect for quick cardio while working from home. I've been feeling so much more energetic since I've started doing about 10 minutes a day. It feels effortless but after 10 minutes of this and getting off the trampoline you do feel it.

It's amazing how much the extra screen real estate helps.
Other than that, I've bought surprisingly little in the last two years other than food, clothing and gifts.

#74Sennheiser HD 600 headphones. So comfortable and sound amazing. Reebok Classic Nylon. Finally a comfortable every day shoe that looks good that I can buy over and over again. iPhone 12 mini. So tired of ginormous smartphones. I wanted a small phone and Apple delivered.
Likewise with my HD58x. I also love small phones and want to switch to the 12 mini, but my SE 2020 works perfectly fine so it's hard to justify.

Same here, Skydio 2 (before the recent price hike).
I always liked photography and video but flying photography and video also unlock photogrammetry of large spaces and 3d scanning.

$1K - Hard pass. I'll take two crappy IPS 24 inch monitors before I drop that kinda cash on a monitor.
Thing is I've seen co-workers with these, and buy call accounts they love them, but I've never really been blown away by them.
The 144hz refresh rate is nice, but wasted on someone who just writes code all day.

#79- Braun BC02BW alarm clock - I started to sleep more regularly since I use it (there is no snooze option). - Trek FX 2 + lights + Thule pannier - Not so fast as I expected, but perfect for city commuting.

I love this one, have been using it for a long time. I hope they never discontinue making them.

#803d printers are getting cheap and it’s a really fun hobby and just a generally useful item for random repairs and cheap items.
Any in particular you recommend? I played around with them in college, we had to spend months building one. I would love to get back into it, preferably without all the hard work of building the printer this time :)
I got the ender 5 kit. It took about two hours to put together. Just bolting the pieces together really. Not too technical.
I’ve heard the cheaper ender 3 is basically just as good plus there are more resources online for any issues.
