Erm, been wanting an Astron for many many years and when Seiko released the new SSJs last summer, I wanted one even more.

 

Got a random recommendation from Google and it was a seiko authorised retailer offering this, a SSJ019 with a 40% discount (making it cheaper than grey market even before import tax)...my impulsiveness clicked in before I could stop myself

No regrets. Guess my prospex (that's gone to hell and back x10) finally has a partner!

Good old Wera toolcheck.

Hard to beat this kit if you don't have space for larger kits.

1. Affordable. 50€ and you have all the tools you need, except pliers and wrench, to fix things in the household like furniture.

2. Small.  Fit's within a desk drawer or in the storage compartment of a motorcycle. People also use it for bicycle tours but in my opinion there are other sets (e.g. the bike kit from PB-swiss).

3. Jack of all trades is enough for average Joe and no other set does it this perfect.

PB-swiss reduced it to what is actually needed for bikes. Making it smaller and lower weight:

 

@wONKEyeYEs In Europe it's approx. $60

Similar the PB 470 is 25€ and in the USA this tool/set would probably be more than $50.

 

Wera Joker are crazy expensive: https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/3861763_-joker-set-11-tlg-metrisch-020013-wera.html

This was lost in shipping for 2 months but arrived today. I like the look of the watch, but I am definitely ordering new straps for this thing the included ones aren't too good.

[GamerDude]

Congratulations on buying the last watch you will ever need to buy.

Until the strap breaks and you can't get it replaced.

 

I'll only but watches that have metal straps now because of how many watches I've gone through where the battery has outlasted the strap.

Finally took the PS5 plunge, installing games once again!

Got myself a hot air soldering station.

every time I buy a 20-30 year old cd that’s still new in its plastic wrap I get the dankpods voice in my head “can you believe nobody bought this?”

I got this stuff ages ago but it's really good at cleaning soldering tips

Dip it in some flux paste first then just press it in to the tiny tin.

Asus zenbook 14 oled

Lg b2 55 in oled tv to use as a monitor for my gaming laptop

 

the laptop is incredible, the tv is ok, I have a 55x85j and they look similar but obviously the contrast is better on the oled, but its missing the wow factor like the zenbook.

 

too many computers now, 5 in total

 

also side note: Bought a quest 2 for 350cad and its pretty neat just having issues with resolution on youtube, wont do higher resolutions and looks terrible. other things work just fine, might buy beat saber

finally caved and bit the bullet. It's gonna get here pretty late but i'm tired of waiting around. i'm excited. I'm gonna get 2x the vram i have now.

I had to order it again so it would get here sooner (at least according to what amazon says). It says it should be here by next week, although it hasn't shipped yet. I've been refreshing the page like all week, i'm so excited.

case arrived , but after transferring stuff over(left the side panelsoff for easier acess for now) ,the system kept giving  a usb over current error , which rendered all the usb ports useless  . then after attempting to troubleshoot over a few days   (plug/unplug  stuff etc) did not help , go to the distro for the board(Asus) was asked to go to the shop where i bought it from ,shop said no can do since warranty is long over ..(boatd was bought in 2020)) .. so literally GG  ended up getting a  Ryzen 7 5800X3d and a b550-A as a replacement.. also bonus coolermaster shoe pc case
