    If I really wanted to go HAM, about one third of a Norbauer Seneca. For me in reality, my laser engraver, 3D printer, soldering station, and other tools I typically use to do keyboard projects probably all come together to be about EUR1000.

    Would that it 'twere my only hobby.

    Like 4-5 years of ancestry resources access, or maybe like a short trip to my grandparent’s homeland to do my own research.

    Or I can buy like A LOT of thread and cross stitch material. A lot.

    You could buy a top tier modern deck, a couple of competitive standard decks, or a bunch of pretty good commander decks in Magic:the Gathering

    Two new hobbies to keep me in the realitytm.

    for the twisted

    It’s just art and music. Plus a likely revival of old skill.

    I would probably buy a really nice Pechauer pool cue. Or another premium brand as quality equipment is pretty important for pool players.

    You guys have stable hobbies…?
    If you count “starting new hobbies” as a hobby, then I could get like 4-5 hobbies out of it, around 200-250$ is a reasonable buy-in for a new one.

        Yes, but we’ve been having a few hot days around here and temperatures over 30°C really degrade the effectiveness of the medication. I bought a sewing machine on Saturday.

          wh— ok that explains a lot about why I’m such a pansy about heat

          i wonder if stimulants are biochemically less effective in heat, or it’s just that our brains have to also deal with the sensory overload of melting to death thus eating into the medication’s mitigation of dopamine deficit… or both perhaps

    An enclosed core XY 3D printer with a material changing system with a built in filament dryer.

    The Bambu Lab P1S is a crazy good deal. If you get it with the older AMS that doesn’t do filament drying, it’s only €800.

    There are some issues with Bambu Lab and their proprietary nature. But I’ve very much loved my P1S, and while I’ve tinkered with and upgraded it quite a bit, I’ve never NEEDED to the same way I did with older 3D printers (other than standard maintenance).

    You can get Prusa’s Core One for a bit over the stated budget, but only if you do the assembly yourself. Which is fun! But you also don’t get the multiple material system included in that price.
