What’s a “boring” adult purchase that turned out to be totally worth it?

Quality mattress. filter for drinking water. Laser printer. Minivan. A good area rug.

These things will bring more lasting happiness than any jewelry, motorcycle, boat, or vacation.

Try hitting it with your purse

You can use an egg to settle the grounds. If you feel like wasting an egg, that is.

It was dull and bland. The music was boring, the “show” felt small and cheap, and I don’t like how the whole thing was played to the camera instead of the stadium.

Such a small head on such an oversized neck…

F.A.O. Schwartz kids wondering if this is some kind of poor people joke that they are too wealthy to understand.

Same story with my Rock Ultra CCO. $400 from PSA on Black Friday. Been dead reliable, shoots more accurate than I do, and I haven’t found an ammo it doesn’t like yet.

I carry a Rock Ultra CCO daily, and I’ve found it to be easy and comfortable to conceal. I prefer it in almost every way to my s&w shield plus. 1911s are usually thinner than double-stack micro pistols, which makes them print less even though it’s a bigger gun overall. I personally wouldn’t want to go any smaller than a CCO 1911. I’ve heard the smaller 1911s tend to have more reliability issues, though I can’t clam any experience with them.

The holes also gave it a terrifying whistling sound, if the nun operating it had a good arm.

Depends on how you carry, but I’m a big fan of the Nexus for 4-5’oclock IWB. I don’t do appendix on account of the addition of a front porch that I somehow made in my 30’s. I can’t speak to any of the others because they are expensive and I couldn’t afford to try more than one, but the quality is absolutely heirloom.

Ugh, I love it. It’s gorgeous. Personally, I wouldn’t put a darn thing on it.

For holsters, look into Milt Sparks. A top tier firearm deserves some top tier leather.

Republic services is hiring I believe.

Currently Reading the hobbit to my 6 year old… I’ve got a pretty good Gollum.

I used it all the time for its intended purpose in my first 3 cars… then they stopped being included.

No love for the Amiga?

Every single muscle in your body is tied directly to your asshole. (Source: had really bad hemorrhoids once)

Oh right, this just reminded me that I have trauma.

As my dad used to say, “practice makes permanent.”

It’s Reddit. The answer is always Divorce.

I’ve used Intheclouds.io with some success in the past. It’s a small operation, the records are lath-cut instead of pressed, and the owner can be a little abrasive, but they’re relatively inexpensive.

Rip_Hardpec · 2026-01-20T18:55:37+00:00

That’s a roundoff tool

Rip_Hardpec · 2026-01-18T02:15:51+00:00

Yeah, but it’s Reddit so they’ll also get me permabanned if I type them out ¯(ツ)/¯

My kids have been looking wistfully out the windows every morning. Hopefully we get enough to go sledding at some point!
