5 good 45 min lessons with top tier coaches or 7 to 10 lessons with local coaches. So... Depending where you are in the journey, maybe 6 or 8 months of supplemental coaching beyond regular membership, floor fees, etc. Or it could get you like 1/3 of a costume for a lady.
I've been out of that hobby for awhile, but in my new "hobby" it will cover 2 weeks of daycare.
I would probably buy a really nice Pechauer pool cue. Or another premium brand as quality equipment is pretty important for pool players.
All the Japanese language resources for a lifetime you need and then some more for lessons if you want.
Japanese learning resources are really amazing nowadays. Tons of good free content too, like articles on grammar or YouTube Videos by people explaining stuff. If you cut Wanikani and Bunpro and go with Anki (FOSS) instead for SRS, you can go really cheap.
That is, the price you pay for learning the Japanese language is also that it takes a fuck ton of time to get anywhere. But then again, you understand Japanese after that, how cool is that??
Depending on how much people think they're worth, I could probably overhaul and mod 6 iPods.
My other hobby is my little radio show. €1000 would set me up with a nice new controller/mixer, a half decent new second display, and a bunch of sound proofing for my studio. And that would be nice. I'm happy enough with my mic and headphones that I already have.
about 100 nights at the cheapest campsite i know of that takes caravans
or about 17-20 nights at some of the more expensive ones
A Prusa or 76 spools of ASA or PETG from my local supplier.
A surprising amount as prices have dropped considerably in the past few years. (3d printing)
Had to do a quick conversion search to make sure roughly how much that would be, and I could have a day like the fairly recent day I bought a pawn shop acoustic guitar, pack of picks, and a guitar stand maybe around 10 times.
I could also, probably, head over to a CD shop I really like and buy probably close to 100 CDs ( probably much less than 90 because tax, but that's still a lot ).
I could go to an electronics shop and get their opinion and help on upgrading my desktop motherboard, alongside upgrading to a used, few years older ( probably 2020-21 because I don't do much that would kill it ) model graphics card if I could find a good one somewhere like eBay.
I could try to collect a physical copy of every single non-arcade, launched in America Sonic game on console. Console not included for some of them because they're too expensive or I don't care about them for the case of anything past xbox360 or ps3. Though, I imagine the Master System titles would be pretty expensive, so IDK how that would go.
Either that, or I would love to cheap out and just pay some people who are willing to do a copyright infringement by making some Tails plushies based on his SatAM/Adventures cartoon design/personality. Would probably be a lot cheaper and just as cool. Fulfills my hobby of having a ton of plushies/stuffed animals and be Sonic related, so bonus points to me.
I could wait for the next Steam sale and get tons of games to add to my backlog but never actually get around to. Even with my somewhat picky nature, I'm fairly certain I'd find tons of games to purchase.
I could probably get even better headphones than my already pretty good quality beats to really up my music listening. Pair that with a pretty good audio playback device and I'd be in heaven... or accidentally make myself deaf and wanna die.
I could get the remaining manga from the Bakuman series I like and, depending on price and volumes, probably get the remainders of Soul Eater ( I think I've only got maybe volumes 1-2 ).
I could buy a metric ton of snacks and foods from a nearby import store and an Asian market.
Hell, I could probably take a couple lessons for that guitar I bought so that way I can learn the proper way to play.
Edit:
I could also expand my dice collection and playing card collection. I would love to have a ton of decks of cards. Especially some ones where the cards are different shapes, like these little leaf shaped cards I currently own.
Maybe an okay desktop tower on sale to use headless for rendering
doesnt need to be the best, just free up my main pc to do anything else lol
You guys have stable hobbies..?
If you count "starting new hobbies" as a hobby, then I could get like 4-5 hobbies out of it, around 200-250$ is a reasonable buy-in for a new one.
So, is your ADHD medicated?
Yes, but we've been having a few hot days around here and temperatures over 30°C really degrade the effectiveness of the medication. I bought a sewing machine on Saturday.
Ha, good guess on my part, or game recognising game...
1/13th of an AMD Epyc 9755
A really nice bow, and probably enough arrows for a few years.
Seeing how my take down recurve easily cost 200, youve been set for life i think haha
A compound bow is a bit more expensive but not that much, and I also break a lot of arrows because of the kind of target we shoot at. In Dutch it's called a "wip", I don't know what it is called in English. If you hit the metal part or the mast, your arrows tend to break quite easily.
Oh ye, makes sense. I shoot at a foam target we hung between 2 trees because we dont like the things you shoot at, but i imagine arrows die quickly haha.
Even we destroy each other's arrows once in a while haha
Surprised no one has mentioned: Audio
I would either get two bookshelf speakers or a set of Hifiman Arya organics. Or a used lcd-x. Maybe a few guitar pedals. Or a new guitar. Or possibly a synthesizer.
Like 4-5 years of ancestry resources access, or maybe like a short trip to my grandparent's homeland to do my own research.
Or I can buy like A LOT of thread and cross stitch material. A lot.
First hobby, writting. So, enough pens and paper to the end of my life, and more... But not enough notebooks, I can't have enough notebooks.
Second hobby, collecting bones and dead things. What could be expensive is a nice shelf for exposing, but 250€ max. Dissection kit, 30. A big bag of salt, 20. Some pins, 5. This specific washing powder, 15/20 OR hydrogene peroxyde, 20/30. Uncolored dishwashing liquid, 2. Toothbrush, 2. Shovel, 15. Box of gloves, 15. A bin and a lock, 70. Nylon met, 20. This really nice vegan taxidermy, 550.
Photography:
I could get a Nikon Z7, but no lens.
I could almost get my favourite lens, the Lumix S 24-105 f/4 it is just out of range
Lots of volumes of manga, some indie games and a little handheld emulator
A lot of LEGO bricks for my models.
Half of a full army, maybe some brushes.
A really good distilling setup, or an embroidery machine, or a hen house upgrade, or a sublimation printer and T-shirt press, or a fancy wine fridge (stocked)... I have a lot of favorite hobbies.
Dnd A shit load of dice.
Bjj six months membership and the gi that comes with it.
A mid-range direct drive simracing wheel, or a very nice ukulele.
Another hobby. Two, if I'm lucky.
A practice pin, a new cart, and about 30 new discs!
... Or about one graphics card...
Imagine how much SALE steam games I can collect!
That's at least like... Ten crunchwrap Supremes!
I also enjoy being a warm, cinnamon bun.
Imagine 1000 thread count linen. The cloud soft pillows and the nice mattress. (I'm not actually sure how much bed things are.)
Depends on how much you mind restoration/cleaning work for fountain pens. I've already got all the entry tier stuff covered, so buying new pens at MSRP would probably mean somewhere between 1-3 pens, depending on how fancy I'm looking to get. I already have an ultrasonic cleaner and plenty of repair supplies, so I'd be hitting up auctions, personally. Depending on what's in the lots and how many people notice the contents, 1000€ would probably get me somewhere between 200-400 pens. Probably another 200 or so if I get to count what I could buy with the proceeds of selling off the ones I'm not interested in.
Ohhh, we got a sumgai over here. Nothing super fancy in my collection, topping out with probably a mid-range conical nib Sheaffer lever-fill, but I still regret selling my little marbled M200 with nib changed out for that sweet solid gold Pelikan BB.
A low-mid range PC. Maybe? Prices for components are fucking wack and I'm broke anyway, so I am not sure how far 1000 dollars would go rn.
My current PC was ~$900, built in 2019 and was for low-entry VR, or high performance in flat space games for 1080p res and 144hz.
A thousand euros in airsoft will get you a high-quality gun or two, depending on what you're looking for and where you're getting it from. Generally, replica pistols and "standard" rifles tend to be cheaper than anything heavy or exotic.
And you'll probably have plenty of cash left over, for things like safety gear, special clothing, and gun-related accessories like slings and holsters.
The most expensive gun in my collection, a replica of the pistol from Kingsman, was €430. I spent about another 100 on spare magazines, shotgun shells, and a custom holster. My next-priciest gun cost less than half that, even after acquiring similar accessories
I haven't put any money into modifying any of my guns, since that's an entire other can of worms I don't feel like opening. Most guns will be perfectly playable out of the box, rarely needing more than heavier BBs or a hopup adjustment to be improved.
A suit of plate armour, and maybe a shield or a weapon.
