Is that an A330 on your desk?

[jamesinaz]

Nice. You are state of the art now.

Finally got 2 new paintings up in the dining room.

They’re both A380s, even though the white one is the only one that actually looks like an A380. The blue one looks like a A330, but, the stand claims it’s an A380-800.

Very nice office setup! What monitor and what are the specs?

It’s a 49” Samsung Odyssey Neo G9. 240hz, 1ms. Mac Studio is just the stock but with 1tb solid state. They come with 512. I upgraded to the 1tb because in the M2 studio, they went with a single 512 chip which leaves one of the memory slots empty, which makes the drive read and write speed garbage. The only way to fix it is to buy a 1tb so they put 2 512 chips in it. One in each slot.

I just picked up a bunch of DEWALT XR 20v power tools.
Drill, Impact, Reciprocating saw, Oscillating saw, Ratchet, Light , charger and ( 2 ) 20v 5 amp batteries. I should be good for awhile.

I moved to Nevada a couple of months ago, so deciding to furnish the entire house with brand new furniture is a massive expense. My 85” Samsung Frame TV was just delivered last week and my white KEF LS60 wireless speakers arrive Tuesday. I bought another Peter Lik; the "Luna Pathway".....which will be delivered in a few weeks too. It'll be mounted in my master/primary bedroom. The other two Peter Lik's that I already own will go in the living room and the den/seating area of the new house. I also ordered a Restoration Hardware “Machinto” media console that will arrive in two weeks. I feel like Crate & Barrel, RH, and West Elm are taking all of my money.

Went on a bit of a shopping spree.

Bought my in-laws a new car - a brand new X1. I'm shocked at how NICE this car is for the price. We were shopping around to replace their 15 year old accord, and were checking out cars like the Rav4, CRV, etc. Both Toyota and Honda dealers were asking for 10% over MSRP. Meanwhile the BMW dealer that I have a pretty good relationship with was offering me 5% below MSRP on the X1. So the price delta between the Rav4/CRV and this X1 was almost nil. Needless to say, the in-laws are ecstatic.




Next purchase - I decided to upgrade to a Galaxy Z Fold 5 for myself



Finally, spoiled the kids with some new shoes. A pair of AJ 12s for my daughter, and some AJ 2s and AJ 1s for my son.

Are you married? Is she going to see this credit card bill?!

[tturedraider]

Not nearly as exciting as some of the other posts here, but these are the last things I bought. My dad has been having some issues with coughing spells as he lays in his bed and one of his caregivers suggested raising his bed and his head. Before he moved into memory care I don’t think I had ever ordered a single thing from Amazon.

Boy, deciding on that Mini Cooper really loosened up y’all’s purse strings, huh?!

Not to rain on your very cool kids shoe purchase, but just a little thought to go along with it. When I was a toddler my mom had me wearing those decidedly uncool stiff leather shoes to support my developing feet and ankles. These days I’m very thankful for that, because of something I noticed after I moved to Chicago. As you know I live in the city and I walk around the city a lot. After I moved here and started observing hundreds and thousands of people walking around I noticed there is a large percentage of the population who have feet issues. Most commonly over pronation or under pronation. I literally tell people if they know a young person considering their career becoming a podiatrist in Chicago would be very lucrative. All that just to say, pay attention to how your kids are walking as they develop.

Hard to pass at $13.50 US

toddler shoe purchases are always a bad investment lol
but i get it

[Sedan_Clan]

Forgive the wire mess. I’m still working through cord concealment, etc….and my Restoration Hardware media console has yet to arrive…..


…..but damn do these KEF LS60’s paired with my two Klipsch subwoofers sound AMAZING. My God! Deadmau5 is killing it through this set-up.

My wife went to the Apple store this morning and brought me back an early Christmas present. Yes, I'm spoiled.

It's a new MacBook Pro 14 with the new M2 chip. Very excited to try it out.

Space gray color, 16GB of unified memory, 512GB of SSD storage.

You can get more memory and storage but this is also not the least amount and it is just what I asked for. Will be leaps and bounds better than my old 2014 MacBook Pro 13 and will suit my needs perfectly.

Google just rolled out their new phones today. I preordered the Pixel 8 Pro, an upgrade from my current Pixel 7 Pro. Not a huge difference but very interested in the new Generative AI capabilities running on the new chipset.

Nothing fun to post a picture of, but locked in the final details of our new home build after a marathon final meeting today to lock in the contract. Head is spinning, but glad it’s on the move.
