Got the parts to fix my air conditioner in my car, and a used phone, and a retro handheld I had been putting off.

All used, of course. I'm not contributing back to this corrupt hell government.

Am six months away from my four year cycle of a new iPhone. Bit the bullet last night on a current model while the carrier still offering top dollar for trade-in, and there are no tariffs.

I had some DYI hackable computer kits (ClockworkPI) that I orderd last year, both of them arrived in the last few weeks. Im very glad they made it through customs before most of this shit gets enacted.

Materials for a home renovation project. I should have bought it all long ago, but better late than never.

I built a gaming PC back in January for this purpose, unfortunately GPUs are impossible to get so I'm stuck in a 2080 TI (which is showing its age). Tempted to pay ebay scalper prices ($300+ above MSRP for a 9070 XT), beats paying tariffs and prevents that extra money going to fund whatever new atrocities my government intends to commit.

Also got a nice motorized sausage stuffer.

Too late. I have no money.

Yup. I've been busy, oh you know, managing having fucking cancer and having necessary surgeries.

I only fucking wish I had money to spend to rebuild my life before it all goes to shit.

Big order of fishing supplies off Ali Express before May 1. Line, lures, hooks, that sort of thing.

Is this as a hobby or prepping for food scarcity? Not judging, legitimately just asking.
