AJUMP23

Parody of actual AJUMP23
Went to the Jack Daniel's distillery yesterday and they had bottles of Sinatra in the bottling shop for $160. This can usually sell in liquor stores (if they have any) for $300-$700. So I grabbed one:

That is a fun tour, I went and I don't drink.

I was into whisky in my 20s, now the alcohol is too strong. I stick to wine, and mostly white / rose , not red.

What time is it?
im looking to get myself some quality chef knives but haven't a clue where to start or what's best, would you recommend these?

I ordered this same knife back in 2019 but ended up giving it away as a gift. Amazon had a sale recently so I picked it up again for myself. It arrives tomorrow. Most of my other cutlery is by WÜSTHOF which is an easy recommend. I do have some German bias though.

My current SwissGear backpack is starting to rip after a year of use. I live in NYC, and so I'm always commuting all over the place. Over the past year, I've been traveling with more and more items. It's looking like the SwissGear can't handle it.

So I purchased the Carhartt 40L Nylon Roll Top Backpack. I'm hoping its worth the price and lasts for the next few years to come.

In my experience Carhartt makes quality and durable products. You should be happy with it

Pentel GraphGear 1000, great drafting pencil. :messenger_smiling_hearts:
You can retract the tip so you don't destroy it if you drop it, like I did with one of my Rotring 600. However I saved that one by turning a new tip for it, drilling a 0.5 mm hole (or was it 0.7? I don't remember now, it was a long time ago) in a small tube took some effort. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

a bunch of pokemon cards. i got a £15 free voucher but you need to spend £30 :messenger_unamused: price came to £16 something. one of the cards is £16 so i basically paid for that and got 19 free cards

they aren't high value of course. most are about 30-40p. they are some of my favourite pokemon that i don't have

Want to order real authentic Indonesian food. That's a good joke were I live. More of a sad fact.

I got lucky and won a 2k PC on a UK competition website I play on a few weeks back and took the cash alternative so I could make my own how I want it!!!

Montech King 95 Pro Gearseekers edition.
Montech Hyperflow 360mm AIO.
Gigabyte X870 elite wifi7.
Lexar 2tb M.2 SSD.
32gb DDR5 Kingston Fury CL36 6000mhz.
TUF 1000w PSU.
Kolink Black/Gunmetal Extensions.

9800X3D paid for just waiting on stock and waiting to see what next AMD/Nvidia cards are like before I buy a GPU.

Not sure what monitor to get 🤔 only have a £500 budget.

A cheap old 19” TV for my PS2. I can’t connect it to my TV and apparently HDMI adapters aren’t that good and some/all PS1 games won’t play on them?

So just looked for an old TV with the right connections. Not delivered yet but should be here soon :)

a 50p coin for £14. for non UK... 50p is half £1. so it's like 28x the coin's legal value (actually not sure you can spend these or if shops accept them).

Got myself a new copy with my native language translation of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, and decided to buy another copy for my 90 year old grandfather. We recently lost grandmom so I though it might give him some solace (I was bit skeptic at first whether the reading is bit too blunt about death, especially) but he seems very pleased about it and we've had some nice discussions about the book.

Best book ever written.

I got the Viture Pro XR glasses and mobile dock for Christmas so I just ordered the neckband and an adapter to make it work with my iPhone. Used gift cards so it was “free”
