eBay had a massive 20% off everything sale. I couldn't really think of what I wanted, but I saw a Pokemon booster box...and I couldn't resist. Here's hoping I get a nice Charizard card!

do those cards have any special purposes rather than just some collectable cards?

they are part of the card game thats been here since the 90's, not that anyone actually plays it anymore, people just collect them for the most part
 
Just the usual tools and books about tools or using tools, as well things to cannibalise for parts (some 2.5kW dimmer switches with CEE17 plugs). Decided to wire up my ultimate gaming station finally but then ran into a snag getting the TV to display things (the VCR that controls it all is pretty finicky and the TV has rotary dials to tune it) so for now it is just an audio system.

Just bought an electric razor, one of the fancy 100$ ones. It's okay, but takes a lot longer than an actual razor, and couldn't reach all my hairs. It'll do I guess, but feels more like a 20 dollar purchase than a 100.

Also bought a yeti pro for recording some decent audio. I don't have any XLR hookups, so the usb was good enough for me and my purposes. Going to use it for a variety of reasons, though probably recording videos for some college classes I oversee is first on the list.

Choice video

I can't remember the last time I saw something properly sharpened from the factory.

Of course I opted for the other choice and look like a wild man of the woods.

If size was the main concern

I am not sure how I feel about the Chinese 3020/3xxx range (they also have a bigger cousin in the 6040/6xxx range which is still very much in the table top size). For the most part they are engravers with ideas above their station, though that is not to say you can't do good work with them if you respect their limitations -- wood, plastic, engraving, PCBs, some types of layout, stencil thickness non ferrous stuff can have lots of stuff done but most non engraving ferrous or any kind of vaguely structural aluminium is a different matter or takes so many passes that you will not want to use it much.
https://www.rolanddg.co.uk/products/3d do some good stuff, though price wise it is rather above that. I would almost rather retrofit a benchtop milling machine, or do something like https://www.proxxon.com/en/micromot/27112.php via http://www.thebox.myzen.co.uk/Hardware/CNC_Conversion.html
If size is your main concern though then you do have a fair few options.

The Pi1B works well for anything ancient (eg. Nintendo up to Super Nintendo)...I have to set up my pi3 anyhow...

Cheap fume extractor. Works well enough, I have my doubts on how effective the filters are, but at the very least it sucks the flux fumes away from me and throws them out the window, so for that it works well enough.

I’ve never seen such a thing. Neat.

Welp, new Raspberry Pi 3 B+ released today, and I've been meaning to get a Pie for ages so I decided to just buy this one. :yay:

EDIT: Along with this, I decided to opt for this case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BXLXD8/

And I ordered 2 64GB micro SD Cards. One for my Vita's psvsd (finally) and one for the Pi 3 B+

can they handle 1080p x265 decoding yet?

This particular update was more network focused than processing, so likely not. Still using the same VideoCore GPU and the CPU only saw a 200mhz boost this time.

But I'll check when I get it anyways, just to see.

EDIT: The product page, in case anyone was interested: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-plus/

The biggest upgrade here is going from 10/100mbit/s ethernet to 10/100/1000mbit/s, and the inclusion of 802.11ac instead of 802.11n on the onboard network chip. Which is neat. Then there's the 200mhz CPU boost, and a couple extras like PoE and better thermal management.
