• If you like to cook, a decent chef’s knife. If you like to play video games, a quality controller. If you travel at all, a quality carry on bag and/or backpack. If you’re creative and like to write music, a small USB midi controller.

    These are some of the things that come to mind.

    • Was waiting to see a good knife on here. I got my first good knife this year… It’s insane how much of a difference it makes.

      I got a fancy carbon one so I need to wipe it off after I use it pretty quickly too, but I honestly love the character of the patina that is developing (it’s just a few mm of the edge that is reactive, the rest is sandwiched between nonreactive metal). Still, a good chopping experience makes me happy to pull out the fancy knife and chop even chicken tenders into feather fine slices for a salad or wrap 🤣
