His Divine Shadow posted:A steam juicer, mainly for making cordial, but also apple sauce and apple cordial. This looks so cool, I've never knew about these until now. I read up on it, and I learned a new trick where you place glass marbles in the water boiling part, and so if the water risks getting too low, the marbles rattle letting you know to add more water. I will use that trick for when I steam my dumplings.

I bought a travel trailer!Well, bought is a strong word, I guess I put a deposit down on a travel trailer with an estimated manufacturing lead time of two years. So in two years I’ll have an RV! Which gives me plenty of time to also go out and buy a truck. I’d say I’m spectacularly unprepared for this, but probably so are most people right before they make the worst financial decision of their life.

A second OEM key for my Abarth.  And a new ATV, since my kids pretty much outgrew the old 220cc one and this one has 4x4 and can be used for plowing the driveway and dragging trees with a winch. It hit the dealer floor yesterday; didn’t even make it onto the website before my wife and son swooped in and put a deposit on it. It’s a Suzuki King Quad 400.

The upkeep on an RV isn't that bad. The worst financial decision is buying a boat. Speaking of, I'm thinkin about a small boat...

Used market for everything is upside down right now due to supply chain fuckery. I ain't actually buyin poo poo til that gets flowin again. Was lookin for a used bike for my partner, couldn't find anything worth the price. Traded in my bike for a used one, they gave me more than they normally would for it ($800) cause they could put less than $1000 in parts and labor to do minimal work, and turn around and sell it for at least $2500 easy. OniPanda has a new favorite as of 03:16 on Jul 31, 2021 |

So I got upset at some flies ruining a little get together for some snacks in my place, so I got this: Think it was only $40 from Amazon. It does its job well, it literally started zapping bugs I didn't even know were around.. When enough bugs collect I just tip them out.. The ad copy claims the UV light approximates human breath?! Thing that bothers me though is that I sometimes see certain flies literally withstand repeated jolts before going down; in fact I've had one or two that I've had to pick up and flush down the toilet because they seem have actual resistance to electric shock. It's almost always these flies with metallic skin, too.. There was also this huge mosquito that took hours to totally drop, it was like watching a zombie movie where the zombie keeps getting back up after getting hit with shot after shot..

Binary Badger posted:So I got upset at some flies ruining a little get together for some snacks in my place, so I got this: <Insert science-y stuff here> quote:“Bug zappers are good for attracting insects that are attracted to bug zappers,” Leslie Vosshall, a neurobiology professor at the Rockefeller University, told us. This often doesn’t include mosquitoes or any other biting insects. A study from the University of Delaware tracked six residential bug zappers over a 10-week period and found that of the 13,789 insects killed, only 31 were biting flies (including mosquitoes). That’s a sad 0.22 percent. Given this, it’s no shock that the authors of the study concluded that bug zappers are “worthless for biting fly reduction.” In a similar vein, the American Mosquito Control Association notes that Notre Dame researchers conducted two studies on bug zappers (neither of which is online) and found that “mosquitoes comprised merely 4.1% and 6.4%, respectively, of the daily catch over an entire season.” As the Colorado State University Extension puts it, “No controlled scientific study has shown that these devices reduce mosquito biting rates outdoors.”

A bunch of these things, hopefully if the seller does not spaz out: Berry pickers for picking lingonberries and bilberries. Gonna make a restoration project out of them and fit a wooden overgrip to the handles, which are otherwise uncomfortable. But gently caress the modern plastic ones, they suck. Borrowed a wooden one for now.

Lego are only fun to assemble if you're high, racing someone else doing the same set, or doing the "build it in the bag" thing. Or mix the pieces all up and try to assemble it without instructions like a puzzle.

Smaller world, surely? For content, because I love Japanese woodblock prints and apparently hate money, I got a book on Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji:   It's one of those super-fancy oversized editions with special binding and clothbound box and customized packaging. Pretty sure I posted about them before, but this time I didn't have the self-control to wait for a sale

For me, I like to pour all the pieces together in the box. There's a certain zen that comes from sifting through all the pieces to find the next one. It takes longer to build, but I find this method quite relaxing.

My son and I did the Voltron set to a rewatch of the Voltron:LG series. But we queued up the 80's combining montage when we finally finished the lions and formed Voltron. Then I had to lie flat on the floor and twinging in pain because my old back had no business being hunched over for that many hours.

Shiftypenguin posted:For me, I like to pour all the pieces together in the box. There's a certain zen that comes from sifting through all the pieces to find the next one. I'm the opposite. I'm so much more happy now that they come in numbered bags so I don't have to hunt forever to find the piece I need. There's just enough hunting through the number to get that, but not so much hunting as to be frustrating.  I have bought much fishing gear over the past while, this is the easiest to post. Shimano Talica 10II. Loaded it with 30 lb braid and 40 lb fluoro top shot. Bit spendy, but a good reel is a good investment. Also got a bunch of tackle and jigs and such, and stuff for building my own rods. This reel is going on a rod I'm building that's for slow pitch jigging. Got an array of slow pitch jigs to go along with it. Will post pics when it's done.

https://www.amazon.com/Pork-King-Go...ps%2C149&sr=8-7  These are the best pork rinds I've ever had in my entire life. They have a bunch of flavors, ranging from good to ok but the white cheddar is easily my favorite. It kind of gives me a buttered popcorn flavor more than a cheese flavor. Ranch is also good and I don't even like the dressing or most things flavored as ranch. It's a bit more intense with it's flavor where as the white cheddar is pretty subtle. I've ordered them 4 or 5 different times at this point and they are always consistent in texture, relatively light and fluffy.
