Title: What’s the best purchase you’ve made this year?
Post by: desert punk on October 12, 2017, 06:36:07 PM: Vidya, consoles, some other gadget, a car, GAF Gold, loot boxes, a date with Kendra Sunderland, whatever...

At the risk of branding myself as an Apple fiend: I bought myself a pair of Airpods this summer and they are worth every one of the 200 bucks I paid :lawd

No damaged cables anymore and no longer feeling uncomfortable and having to adjust said cables constantly because I’m a fool with OCD.

They are easy to connect with almost anything, Apple gadgets and otherwise and I’ve never had problems with the batteries as long I brought the charging case with me.

I’m pretty sure tho that I’m going to lose one or both of them in the foreseeable future :fbm

Cauliflower pizza is delicious as hell also, alternate world option ->you can make pizza bases with egg, tuna and psyllium husks <- yes i know this sounds weird, I was skeptical as fuck at first but it tasted like pizza.

EDIT: Beaten :maf :-*
Title: Re: What’s the best purchase you’ve made this year?
Post by: Human Snorenado on October 15, 2017, 07:55:12 PM: Cauliflower is way more effort than fathead crust (almond flour, mozzarella, an egg, and cream cheese- it's pretty damn simple to whip up)

Post by: etiolate on October 16, 2017, 04:10:33 PM: Coconut flour is underappreciated. Great for pie crusts as well. I make a gluten free pie with coconut flour and orange shavings in the crust.

As a parent and a former art student, I recommend a good set of pencil colors, not crayons or colored markets. A good set will make it feel extra satisfying when you fill in the white space. :lawd

Just avoid cheap ones as they don't color well and are often too hard to leave enough mark on the paper, so it turns uneven and what not.

Basically turning your wife into a transgender, shit heel.

My best purchase was probably either my switch or my Costco membership. Fuck I love Costco.

Maybe also a bottle of lube, woman has now realized she loves anal.
