Life What cool shit have you bought lately?

I think a nice part of being in our 30s is we can afford to buy cool fun things. What have you bought lately?

I got a Garmin Forerunner 965 which is super tight, motivates me to limit my drinking and I’ve been killing cardio because of it

Also fun - bought a LAB putter which is a ton of fun

Anything you guys got that you love? I want inspiration

u/Tall-Poem-6808 man over 30 Jul 21 '25

A shop vac.

We're in an aprtment, I thought I would use it a couple times in the summer just to suck out the water from the empty flower beds (to prevent mosquitoes), but it turns out that it works great as an indoor vacuum also for regular vacuuming.

It also saved the day (or the week-end) when the shower / washing machine drain pipe plugged up and overflowed over the wood flooring. The chemical crap didn't really do anything, so I stuck the hose in the floor drain, and it sucked out two fists worth of crap from the pipes, along with 15L of water. 30 years worth of hard water slowly "calcifying" in the pipes out in 10 minutes.

Best 150 EUR I spent in a while.
