Picture of Last Items You Bought (NO WEAPONS)

TXSTYLE · 10-17-2023, 02:20 PM

A pair of new Watches.

Mosaud1998 · 10-18-2023, 08:11 PM

Say hello to the "winter beater" and semi-daily driver. Picked up this 2008 Toyota Camry for basically nothing. It's got 140k miles. Runs like a champ. Will need an oil change ($25 oil and filter at Walmart) and tires before winter (another $200~ from Walmart).

Gotta kinda love not spending crazy money on maintenance items, gas, and insurance.

I'll still be using the 540. When the weather is nice, I'll take the 540 to work/people's houses. When it's bad out, I'll take the Toyota. During the winter, the 540 will be hibernating.

Might try to flip the car before winter. If I can't, I'll be keeping it until the wheels don't blow off.

Gimmicky Scotch Glass. Sit flat or at 45°.

Nothing sexy here, but I'm about to replace a ceiling light in the kitchen. It's an LED that was supposed to last 50,000 hours (easily past my expiration date), but probably didn't last 50 hours.

The good news is the replacement cost only $23 and Mr. Un-Handy (that's me) is able to replace it on his own. I hope the lights that are impossible for me to reach last a lot longer than this one did. <fingers-crossed emoji>

I have replaced 2 of those already and bought a bunch more for when the rest fail just in case they stop making them.

I just replaced a 6 month old LED bulb that was supposed to last 7 years. Maybe it was only meant to be on 5 minutes a day or something.

Same here, all these are made in China, cheap crap. Bought a 4-pack on Amazon for $29…

jamesinaz · 10-21-2023, 06:13 AM

I bought and remodeled a house 5 years ago with high ceilings. I decided I would migrate every light in the house to LED because they last forever and I won't have to change them. Bzzzzz. Wrong. The bulls&*t that they last forever is very stinky.

Yet again a disappointment in a new technology that was supposed to have a longer run life.

chassis · 10-21-2023, 07:34 AM

LEDs did last forever when first introduced.

Now with years of manufacturing under their belts, lighting manufacturers have figured out how to make LED products with much less cost, and correspondingly lower life.

100% normal in the manufacturing world. Not great from a consumer's point of view, but I don't see it as stinky BS.

We see cost-cutting every day in the automotive world, right?

And home appliances, right? Remember Kelvinators? Some are still running today. That means the manufacturer left profit on the table.

M_Six · 10-21-2023, 03:55 PM

Wide toe box sneaks for working out and walking. Not thrilled with the color, but it beats the other pairs the store had that were electric blue. Can't be too picky when you're buying 13 EEE shoes, I guess. Weird thing is, up until 5 or 6 years ago I wore a 10-1/2. Then my feet started flattening out. Now my size 12W shoes don't fit. If I were to go to snorkeling, I wouldn't need fins now.

Financial mistake? Possibly. 100% worth it. In a few years maybe it'll pay for itself in gas
