I bought cast iron pan which I think is the best ever purchase I made.

GPD Win Max 2. A very capable 10" laptop with controller built in. It's very versatile and extremely portable. Emulates everything very well. Nothing like having everything you've ever played or want to on a 10" hand-held. I use it for work too. They just released a smaller device too, just as capable, but with fewer stage options.

I love those gpd devices. I haven't used one or seen one in person, but I like the infovation.

I recommend them if you have the means and can do your own repairs. They're definitely great when they work, but there are a few times where QA and customer service isn't the best. It's a very niche product, so that's par for the course.

The best purchase I've made this year has to be the tickets for the "Barbie" movie on opening day July 21st. As I watched the movie in theater (the best way to watch a movie), I was literally moved to tears by the performance of the lead actress, whom I might add, deserves an Oscar this year.

Fellow lemmings, I, for one, will definitely be buying "Barbie" on Blu-ray to have it in my collection.

Multiple copies, in fact.

Purple bed. Super expensive but the most comfortable sleep I've ever had. Prior, I've spent way more on high-end pillow tops, but they eventually get lumpy. I've had a Purple 2 King matress for 6 years, and it's as good as day one. My #1 purchase ever, period. Sleeps cool and preasure perfectly. Makes me sad when friends ask for bed recommendations, and then they get the Costco bed in a box. Had a couple of them complain, and I just shrug. Might sound like an advertisement, but I 100% love this bed. But of a pain to change the protector since the King matress weighs over 200 pounds

I’ve been thinking of buying one. Did you try it before butting or just buy it? A good bed is worth the money

Good knives. Well worth it.

I wish I had more upvotes. Good knives make cooking easy and, more important, prevent injuries.

I bought some knife set that cost like 1000 dollars. It was an impulsive buy when I won an award at work.

Damn I learned expensive knives are worth every penny. I’ve had them twenty years. Normally I’d buy a knife and have to throw it away after a couple of years because they couldn’t be sharpened as they were cheap.

I cook every day and it makes it so much easier.
