Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I bought a couple bottles of this stuff. One for me, and one for my fellow hot head buddy. It's hot sauce made with the newly-crowned hottest pepper in the world, Pepper X. Clocking in at +2.6M Scoville Heat Units (SHU), it's almost a 500,000 SHU hotter than the previous record holder, the Carolina Reaper.

Here's the video of the pepper's creator, Smokin' Ed Currie, receiving his Guinness World Record certificate AND eating a whole Pepper X.

My old corkscrew disintegrated into a million pieces when I last used it, so I got myself a sommelier knife.

A stainless steel one with nice wooden handle. Perfect for the dirt cheap wine I just use for cooking.

I bought a bottle of this a couple of years ago, the sauce itself clocks in at 1.2M scovilles. It was mainly used in work as a cure for boredom on a quiet shift. Just put a drop on a teaspoon and lick it. Many were persuaded to foolishly give it a try 😈

Enjoy your sauce.

A smartphone, since my current one is getting out of date, and a laptop, since I've thought so many times about getting one and this was a decent enough excuse.

The app my medical insurance wants me to use in lieu of ID cards no longer runs on my phone. I might need to consider an upgrade myself.
Similar story here: BankID, which has become the de facto digital ID standard here, will cease to be supported for my current smartphone very soon.

Me when using my own phone: "I will run this thing into the ground and only replace it if it breaks or runs out of ram to run vital applications.

Me when using company provided phone: "It must have the latest specs, an unlimited data plan, and be upgraded every two years or there's absolutely no way I'll be able to efficiently respond to emails."

New phone. Samsung A54. Mostly out of necessity since the one app I actually need will soon stop working on my old phone. Fuck this bullshit.
I too bought a phone, because I have a trip coming up and the top centimeter of my current phone's screen not working mighttt cause some trouble.

I think I've said this before on the forums, but it is shocking how affordable smartphones are these days. I wonder if they've adopted the console approach and make their money off software sales rather than hardware.

  • Across the Spider-Verse (Blu Ray/DVD) - $11.99. For those wanting good sales on movies, just go to Amazon. Don't even bother with Best Buy nor Target at this point. These movies they are still charging $20-27+.
  • Teenage Kraken (Blu Ray/DVD) - $9.99
  • Resident Evil 2 (GameCube) - You read that right. I found it a RetroTaku and traded in a few GC and PS2 games to buy at an affordable price. I traded in Dead to Rights (GC), Super Mario Sunshine, and both Shinobi games on PS2. The trade was worth it. I was hoping they still had Resident Evil 3, but someone already beat me to it.
