An immersion blender, it was $30 but it made my soups seem gourmet and let me recycle my gallons of lard into the best soap I have ever used.

Aside from that, I replaced two of my mismatched odd shaped PC monitors with 27" 4k monitors and the difference is amazing. The monitors were so cheap too only $110 each. Together with my super fancy main screens it really cleaned up the desktop.

Electric blanket!

It's not high tech, but it's so good.

Going to get roasted for this, but Alexa devices. The video versions play Netflix, YouTube, Hulu etc and have much better sound than the standard little speaker orb version. They all sync together so you can stream music in each room that has one like having a whole house stereo system.

Being able to verbally add something to the grocery list at any time is a game changer. People aren't taking advantage of that feature as much as they should IMO.

The shopping list feature is the most used part of my Alexa, followed by morning weather report while I feed the animals, and then occasional music.

The second part sounds like a thing phones should already be capable of, if it weren't for trying to charge for something. Or snoop on me. Or something worse I just haven't thought of.

Enshittification is such a downer. Oh, well, guillotines will fix it eventually, I guess.

I don't know for sure, but we may as well try

Going from Sega Megadrive to PlayStation back in the nineties. True 3d graphics on a home console blew my little teenage mind. Lara Croft. Wipeout. Metal Gear Solid! Good times.

A kneepad for my NC Miata. Kept digging my knee into the center console. A pad was the best upgrade I've made to that car.

I have an ND2 and I take a 1200 mile road trip annually. I really should get a pad for my driver side door. By the time I get to and from my destination, I'm all bruised up and sore on the outside of my leg.

Be nice to Owen, ok, it's been a hard life for him

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

I keep Owen locked in the basement. He keeps the fire burning.

So many women who want his alphabet leg. Poor guy can't keep up.
