@CommanderAlex The books they recommend are in 10-30 quantity available at the library. This is roughly 2-5 students per book which  is enough as they are optional. I would say less than 5% buy books.

 

There are books which are hard to get (discontinued) and not in the library. Those are distributed as eBook.

5$ “untested” Toshiba crt tv with vcr

 

it works, idk about the vcr, but it works otherwise 

[flibberdipper]

Keychron K8 Pro, Gateron G Yellow Pro 3.0s, and a Glorious keycap set. Overall really love the keyboard and the sound/feel I've got going, but the south-facing LED thing kinda sucks when it comes to these keycaps that I otherwise really love. I have the backlight all the way up and there's so little light coming through that they may as well be solid caps (the dark shot is actually harder to see IRL). Unfortunately finding a nice set that doesn't have some gaudy ass gamer font is insanely difficult and this was the only option I seem to recall finding that ticked all of the boxes, minus having a south-LED friendly design.

After dealing with the issues plaguing my current PC I decided that an upgrade that wasn't from ebay was on the cards

 

Asus TUF F15 FX506HC

intel core i5 11400H

8GB DDR4 RAM

512GB M.2 SSD

RTX 3050 4GB

 

And even though it's hampered with RAM in single channel and a 4GB graphics card, it t-bagged the HP Z210 with its i5 2400, 16GB DDR3 RAM and a GTX 1050Ti in the FFXIV endwalker benchmark by almost doubling the final score by getting close to 12k (it also does good in the actual game getting nearly 100fps in a non crowded area).

 

Upgrades will be coming once I can figure out how to deal with one temperamental screw.

That's not far from my Lenovo idea pad 3 gaming.  I did do the 16GB upgrade on it though as soon as I got it.  I don't know what difference it made but i like to think it did a lot

Duett’s album Leisure

I only found this on Bandcamp,

so I bought it.

Nicely mellow but with some life to it.

It’s one of my absolute favorites, I think I’ve bought it effectively 4 times now with digital, a cassette, minidisc and technically the poster comes with the album too 

[RoseLuck462]

Steamdeck what? MSI Ally who? I got the Supaboy!

 

 

Also got my Ryza 3 figurine!

 

 

[AbsoluteWoo]

It's beautiful.

Yes I spend my own money on it

i got my first car. A 2006 fiat panda with less than 42k miles. It had every single little bit of documentation that came with the car. Even the accessory booklet. It’s green and it came with a U2 album. It's a 1.1 litre Active model, apparently 4 cylinder 8 valve engine, thought it was 3 . It only makes 50 something HP according to the spec sheets but it hasn't been a problem, I've driven it home 15-16 miles 40-50mph and it doesn't feel particularly slow. I love the car to bits.

New network to replace my Apple Airport.

Ugh Homeworld Remastered Collection and Deserts of Kharak, Steam bundle for like $20 off. I'll probably be buying HW3 when it releases, I missed the demo dropping and had only one day, played the tutorial some but didn't have a lot of time to mess with it. HW3 demo auto defaulted to epic settings and my poor Vega56 was just chugging at a solid 35fps through the demo blasting out 220W. Time for a new GPU soon.

Come on, you can do worse than that! It's like you're not even trying.

 

Yellow fogs and a Rav4 radio knob for the GF's new Toyota, a Topside JR creeper for work so maybe I stop making my knees and back as angry all the time, a replacement borescope camera to replace the one that I ended up fixing so spare at work I guess, an Arctic P12 PWM in white with clear blades for my Asus Prime AP201 case rear fan, some Chinese food, 32GB (2x16) RAM for my laptop because too many tabs all the time.

Speaking of the Apple Airports, saw a bunch of them at a goodwill today.
