For me it has to be:
- Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
- Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
- Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
- Books ($0 @ library)
- “Ultralearning” - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
- “Enlightenment Now” - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
- “The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing” - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
- PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.
I’m searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you’ve got.
I feel like only us in the UK have one of these by default
Wait, wait I know this conversation. Somebody is going to bring up 240v vs 120v and then somebody else will say that’s not actually very relevant and will link to the Technology Connections YouTube video.
This was a very enlightening video for us European people, I was baffled to find out that Americans boil water on the cooker, like my grandmother used to in the 60s.
We just don’t really boil water that often, and realistically anyone who does has an electric kettle.
Everyone in Australia has one, so that’s one more country.
As an Australian, I was so confused when I found out that Americans don’t use electric kettles by default!
Same here in Ireland.
Germany too. Every household has its Wasserkocher
I’m in the U.S. and have an electric kettle. I love the thing. I’m also a tea drinker though, maybe my English ancestry is showing through.
