Reinforced binder paper where the holes are triangles and reinforced with tape. I hadn't had to deal with my papers getting ripped out of a binder/refillable notebook since getting them

mid price point rice cooker. not as much of a cool/fun answer as the rest, but it lets me meal prep for days. i don't like cooking for just myself, but it's so easy to use that it doesn't feel like a waste. plus i always overcook my rice on the stove ๐Ÿ˜…

Air Fryer. Got one for $30 on a black friday sale a couple of years ago and it paid for itself within a week for the amount of time, effort, and oil saved.

  • Kettle barbecue
  • Charcoal pit + rotisserie
  • Air fryer
  • Small benchtop induction cooker

The top two have resulted in some of the tastiest meat I've ever cooked. I chucked away my gas barbecue recently. The bottom two are just way more efficient (and environmentally friendly, with my solar) for small meals, rather than the natural gas hob and/or big electric oven.

GPD Win Max 2. A very capable 10" laptop with controller built in. It's very versatile and extremely portable. Emulates everything very well. Nothing like having everything you've ever played or want to on a 10" hand-held. I use it for work too. They just released a smaller device too, just as capable, but with fewer stage options.
