EZ Flash Jr. battery died, so I ordered a couple of replacement batteries; I also ordered a rear bike rack bag and a handlebar bag for my ebike. The bags are mainly for me to put my phone, wallet, and locks when I'm riding.

Also set up my 10-year-old PC with TrueNAS. So far its been working great.
 
I brought some filament from china (on a local e-store), I ordered 4 kilograms of PLA for approximated 9 USD each, the shipping cost where 19 each but if I buy more than 30 USD on the store the shipping was for free, so a very nice deal.

The filament come today but was PETG one.

I asked the seller for return it because the PETG is expensive, but the seller say is not necessary, he will sen the correct PLA for free and because he have to pay the shipping for returning the PETG, is cheaper for him gift it to me.

Bought last month but forgot about it. Needed a cheap setup for voice chat in games, old mic is not suitable after I shuffled my setup a little.

These were disappointing. Heat was mild at best compared to the others and black bean flavour was poor. Definitely the worst of all the Samyang noodles I've tried.

I've never seen those ones before.

On my way to work, I stopped by the Asian grocery store in the mall to buy drinks and saw that they had the cream carbonara version of this. I got them to try out. I've had the normal carbonara version, and they are ok, it could be a little hotter, but they are not bad.

Welp, got the monitor and stand today.

The monitor is ok, it's a VA panel so has the usual ghosting but otherwise it's not too awful, I think the ghosting is a little bit better than the 24" 1080p 144hz Viewsonic I was using I'm basically used to it. Claims to have HDR10, but as expected it's not good :lol:. Overall though pretty ok, color accuracy isn't too atrocious when configured yourself and yummy 144hz so that's all good.

The mount is pretty eh though, very wobbly unless I have it in a somewhat specific spot which is annoying but ehh it's a cheapo mount so I can't complain over much. May upgrade it later on but for now this works just fine.

Only ended up having space on my desk for just one of my other monitors, but that's fine, the 34" is certainly bigger than I was expecting so overall screen real estate makes this more than a good enough replacement lol.

Welp, after basically 4 years to the day, decided to upgrade and get myself an OLED ultrawide. Been waiting for something actually good to go on sale for <$600 for ages and this finally did:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BP94J8VD <

Rtings rated it pretty highly when it came out, and I've seen enough long-term use reviews now that I'm pretty confident using it as a daily driver without worrying about burn-in. Doesn't have some of the fancier features of some of their newer revisions of this series, but pretty much anything OLED will be an upgrade over the above VA panel :lol:

Grabbed a dual vertical mount as well, once it shows up I'm gonna put the old shitty VA panel on top and the OLED on the bottom so I can have my two 34" ultrawides and still keep my 24" 1080p monitor on the side. :yay:
 
My toilet was leaking at the fill valve even after tightening it more, so I bought a new one to install. No more leak. I also ordered a pair of 130mm blue handlebar grips. I have to cut one of them to 90mm on the side that has my throttle for it to fit.
I can swear what for a second I pictured the handlebar grips ON THE TOILET.
 
Got myself the Samsung Z Fold 7.
Had an older Z Flip before which (at the time) was a nice gimmick and had a few people curious as to what it is but holding this phone in my hands is probably the first time since my very first smartphone (The Galaxy S2 back then) that I really feel like holding a part of the future. It really is a crazy milestone for mankind imho how amazing this thing is.
