1L flasks, dimroth condenser, heating mantle, heating plate, materials to build an electric kiln, if i have anything left i'd use it on chemicals
and i'm probably already overbudget, home chemistry is fucked price-wise, we're lucky to have synthware for all our glassware needs but for equipment you either diy it or go broke (a good hotplate is ~500$ new, 200$ used in bad conditions)
One seat.
Two tires.
Part of an air conditioning kit.
Not much really. Expensive hobby.
Either a guitar.. or a gpu
Backpacking - Either one really swanky sleep system (the full Zenbivy ultralight), or perhaps one crazy expensive ultralight tent like a Durston, or if we're going budget, an entire setup of basic gear including backpack, tent, cook system, sleeping bag and pad, etc. Everything needed to backpack you could buy for under 1000€ to get started.
Lots and lots of games, either boardgames or digital. Or a better computer.
A lot of gardening supplies.
A mtg cube; all sleeved in a nice box. Endless replayibility with friends with a few updates every year.
It's the dream.
A fuckton of Bionicle parts. Perhaps even enough for a full mask collection, if I find the right people.
A pair of running shoes and the remainder will be blown on physio sessions.
… my favorite hobby “this week”
A basic road bike I guess? 😅
2 years of yoga classes.
Or
All of the garden beds, fencing, and good soil I got for the garden.
If you already have a good computer, that much money could outfit an entire home music recording studio with decent gear, especially if you buy good used gear, which is easily available:
A couple of good super-budget guitars from Harley Benton (a Strat clone and a Les Paul clone), for about $300 (new).
A good Yamaha acoustic guitar, $100.
A bass, $75.
An interface, to get the music into the computer, $50.
A basic MIDI controller, $30.
A good electronic keyboard with weighted keys, $100.
Microphone, $75.
Headphones, $50.
Electronic drum machine, $50, or use the pads on the MIDI controller, or voices on the keyboard.
DAW - Reaper is free, and works great.
That's approximately what I spent on my studio, and everything works great, and sounds terrific..
Entrance and accommodation at a dancing festival.
About three or four fountain pens I've been planning to buy some day. Im not attracted to the really expensive a one yet.
An enclosed core XY 3D printer with a material changing system with a built in filament dryer.
The Bambu Lab P1S is a crazy good deal. If you get it with the older AMS that doesn’t do filament drying, it’s only €800.
There are some issues with Bambu Lab and their proprietary nature. But I’ve very much loved my P1S, and while I’ve tinkered with and upgraded it quite a bit, I’ve never NEEDED to the same way I did with older 3D printers (other than standard maintenance).
You can get Prusa’s Core One for a bit over the stated budget, but only if you do the assembly yourself. Which is fun! But you also don’t get the multiple material system included in that price.
A hole in the water you can throw money into
All the Japanese language resources for a lifetime you need and then some more for lessons if you want.
Japanese learning resources are really amazing nowadays. Tons of good free content too, like articles on grammar or YouTube Videos by people explaining stuff. If you cut Wanikani and Bunpro and go with Anki (FOSS) instead for SRS, you can go really cheap.
That is, the price you pay for learning the Japanese language is also that it takes a fuck ton of time to get anywhere. But then again, you understand Japanese after that, how cool is that??
You guys have stable hobbies..?
If you count "starting new hobbies" as a hobby, then I could get like 4-5 hobbies out of it, around 200-250$ is a reasonable buy-in for a new one.
So, is your ADHD medicated?
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.
Ha, good guess on my part, or game recognising game...
I would probably buy a really nice Pechauer pool cue. Or another premium brand as quality equipment is pretty important for pool players.
5 good 45 min lessons with top tier coaches or 7 to 10 lessons with local coaches. So... Depending where you are in the journey, maybe 6 or 8 months of supplemental coaching beyond regular membership, floor fees, etc. Or it could get you like 1/3 of a costume for a lady.
I've been out of that hobby for awhile, but in my new "hobby" it will cover 2 weeks of daycare.
A Prusa or 76 spools of ASA or PETG from my local supplier.
about 100 nights at the cheapest campsite i know of that takes caravans
or about 17-20 nights at some of the more expensive ones
Depending on how much people think they're worth, I could probably overhaul and mod 6 iPods.
My other hobby is my little radio show. €1000 would set me up with a nice new controller/mixer, a half decent new second display, and a bunch of sound proofing for my studio. And that would be nice. I'm happy enough with my mic and headphones that I already have.
A surprising amount as prices have dropped considerably in the past few years. (3d printing)
about 360 ESP32 microcontroller boards
Maybe an okay desktop tower on sale to use headless for rendering
doesnt need to be the best, just free up my main pc to do anything else lol
A really nice bow, and probably enough arrows for a few years.
Seeing how my take down recurve easily cost 200, youve been set for life i think haha
A compound bow is a bit more expensive but not that much, and I also break a lot of arrows because of the kind of target we shoot at. In Dutch it's called a "wip", I don't know what it is called in English. If you hit the metal part or the mast, your arrows tend to break quite easily.
Oh ye, makes sense. I shoot at a foam target we hung between 2 trees because we dont like the things you shoot at, but i imagine arrows die quickly haha.
Even we destroy each other's arrows once in a while haha
Surprised no one has mentioned: Audio
I would either get two bookshelf speakers or a set of Hifiman Arya organics. Or a used lcd-x. Maybe a few guitar pedals. Or a new guitar. Or possibly a synthesizer.
Had to do a quick conversion search to make sure roughly how much that would be, and I could have a day like the fairly recent day I bought a pawn shop acoustic guitar, pack of picks, and a guitar stand maybe around 10 times.
I could also, probably, head over to a CD shop I really like and buy probably close to 100 CDs ( probably much less than 90 because tax, but that's still a lot ).
I could go to an electronics shop and get their opinion and help on upgrading my desktop motherboard, alongside upgrading to a used, few years older ( probably 2020-21 because I don't do much that would kill it ) model graphics card if I could find a good one somewhere like eBay.
I could try to collect a physical copy of every single non-arcade, launched in America Sonic game on console. Console not included for some of them because they're too expensive or I don't care about them for the case of anything past xbox360 or ps3. Though, I imagine the Master System titles would be pretty expensive, so IDK how that would go.
Either that, or I would love to cheap out and just pay some people who are willing to do a copyright infringement by making some Tails plushies based on his SatAM/Adventures cartoon design/personality. Would probably be a lot cheaper and just as cool. Fulfills my hobby of having a ton of plushies/stuffed animals and be Sonic related, so bonus points to me.
I could wait for the next Steam sale and get tons of games to add to my backlog but never actually get around to. Even with my somewhat picky nature, I'm fairly certain I'd find tons of games to purchase.
I could probably get even better headphones than my already pretty good quality beats to really up my music listening. Pair that with a pretty good audio playback device and I'd be in heaven... or accidentally make myself deaf and wanna die.
I could get the remaining manga from the Bakuman series I like and, depending on price and volumes, probably get the remainders of Soul Eater ( I think I've only got maybe volumes 1-2 ).
I could buy a metric ton of snacks and foods from a nearby import store and an Asian market.
Hell, I could probably take a couple lessons for that guitar I bought so that way I can learn the proper way to play.
Edit:
I could also expand my dice collection and playing card collection. I would love to have a ton of decks of cards. Especially some ones where the cards are different shapes, like these little leaf shaped cards I currently own.
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.
1/13th of an AMD Epyc 9755
Half of a full army, maybe some brushes.
