I've been trying to go through my 'list of things to buy before tariffs' but I'm suffering scope creep and it's expensive. So anyway I was thinking of an electric water kettle for coffee, a new-used laptop, a newer gopro or similar.... Ugh. - ThreadSky

This is the second worst time to be looking for a graphic card.

Ive been prioritizing things i would end up using near every day. Low use/nice to have stuff ends up at the bottom of the list

I got better speakers. Aside from being something I've wanted for a while and wouldn't want to spend a ton on, I figure having things that make it easier to have fun / entertain myself without spending *more* money by going out will at least partly pay themselves back.

Hit up the CU boulder surplus store for computers, they have all the surplus equipment from at least boulder and mines there. Like today they had a ThinkPad my ThinkPad buddy was like "woah" over. And most of it is decently priced.

That's where I'm at I already couldn't afford stuff and now it's double lol

urbis.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah stuff has started to go up in price already. But not everything, yet. At some point should just stop tho.
