My Lenovo Yoga 3.

I rarely use it because I use my work laptop. It's just collecting dust for the past couple years.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.

Sous vide machine - The food comes out tasting exactly like you would expect when its been placed in a plastic bag and slowly cooked it in water.

Road bike - I used it for a couple of years and had multiple close calls with rednecks in giant trucks to suck the fun out of it. It cost 4k+ and is worth about $750 now sitting in my closet. I ride it twice a year on charity rides when the roads are closed.

went through a phase of trying to pickup hobbies

Paintball
Guitar
Photography
Mountain Biking

spent too much money on all that. Always ended up going back to video/PC gaming as my sole hobby

This. The lumia 900 was a brick of a phone despite it not having apps. Then the 1060 or w/e was just chit. Bugs galore right out of the box. Returned it and got on the iPhone bandwagon

Also, surface pro. Chit sucks. Windows sucks. To switch from Bluetooth to headphones I have to manually switch it in the audio options. Never again buying anything by Microsoft. Can’t wait for this thing to die so I can get another macbook

Bought some really expensive chordless bluetooth earbuds. Thought they were going to be so handy, sound great, not bug me when I'm lifting or jump roping. Nah, always slips out of my one ear, hardly ever comfortable, the rubber part that goes into your ear falls off all the time, sound quality is low, generally just a piece of annoying ****.

-Stuff I bought because it was on sale and then never used

-Clothes that I thought fit “well enough” and then never wore because I always went with something more comfortable

-Almost everything I ever bought from J Crew

Not sure what the rep threshold was back then, but I believe 50k? They dropped it to 10k for us newer join dates since there is less overall activity on the boards.

My family struggled through several years of trying to find betamax movies and rentals before finally making the switch to VHS as we should have just got in the first place. I remember friends coming over and we would go to the video store to rent a movie and I would be a pariah because they never had the movies we wanted to watch in betamax... it was scarring as a child to have to walk into that betamax section wasteland in the video store.

Totally agree. The stigma! I do remember that the technology of the Betamax was better or quality better, but that it was all about Sony or whatever big corporation coming up with VHS that killed the Betamax, the original true Beta...lol.

The thing gets hot as balls really really fast, but they have this random plate covering the flame that doesn't really prevent flair ups or give you that there fire grilled effect. It also really only stays hot as hell unless you vent it manually.

Indirect heat methods are virtually impossible due to its convection style design and slow cooking is insanely difficult to do on it.
You can cook steak on it fairly well because it sears like a mother f-cker. then you just turn it off and move the steak to the top after sear the 2nd side.

But all in all.. Not worth it.

My $250 Char-Broil grill from Target works better. srs.

oh well.
I got a Weber genesis II and it’s not bad.
ok

Wasted money on stupid gifts for the Mrs that don't get any use because they're more cutesy than useful. Things like a lemonade maker, ice cream maker, etc.

Bought an interchangeable kettlebell set. Could go up to 50 lbs and didn't take up much space which is why I bought it over individual kettlebells.

Got it online and instantly regretted it once I used it. It had weight disks that would shake and shimmy whenever you did any jerking or quick movements which is the whole reason I bought it. So clunky to use and couldn't do the exercises I wanted without it smacking my forearm and felt like I would break my fukcing arm.

Was about $150. For kettlebells you really do need the individual weights.
