Might as well pay for some premium dirt to stare at.
Have you guys seen the dirt with the pumice DLC? It's a bit more expensive, but its really helped my succulents thrive.
Nah. Kayaking is pretty cheap after you buy a used kayak, paddle and such. Lots of nearly free hobbies like that.
Audiophile in the background, whips off his cloak: "Amateurs!"
That has to be some sort of scam. No way a 3 meter cable is 3500 bucks
Oh but don't you see? Only true audiophiles would demand their audio signals travel short distances through Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors.
Would you prefer they sully their systems with peasant class Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity Copper!?
You might as well be asking for them to listen to 16-bit / 44.1 kHz whale farts passed through two soup cans tied together with string!
I've seen way more expensive for cables shorter than that. It's like a contest for dumbassery.
I'm like 6 of these guys, shit. Also its missing "camera guys"
7, and if camera, 8 times here. Bollocks.
I'm sitting in the back nervously with my guitar that I haven't played in a month.
I recently bought a martin jr-10e for 850cdn. I still play my old 90s Washburn that I got from my dad more.
also eye balling some 12 strings and a banjo. sigh, my wallet is gonna hurt
You can also save all your income to become somewhat wealthy in 40 years (if the market performed on average like in the past...). If you got children they will thank you for dying. They will probably not talk to you for being too frugal tho.
Seems like a waste of time.
Guitar guys: "Pffft, amateurs"
inspects for Warhammer guys whew safe
Thus, the Wyrmwood table.

Forgot motorcyclists and skiers.
I used to think that computer games were an expensive hobby when I was a kid, but actually it turns out that they're cheap and I was just poor. I spend about a thousand dollars on a new PC every five years (there's no point in doing it more often because the console life cycle holds back PC graphics) and a hundred dollars a year on games (not because I'm trying to save money but because I like the sort of games that I spend hundreds of hours playing so I don't need new games often). So the cost of my hobby works out to less than a dollar a day.
Cars, on the other hand... I sold my old BMW 328 for parts earlier this year because it needed yet another $2,000 repair and that simply wasn't worth spending on a 17-year-old car that wasn't in great condition. But I miss that car so much... I refuse to buy anything that doesn't have rear-wheel-drive and a manual transmission, so that leaves me very few options these days, and those options aren't cheap. Often I think I should have just kept spending the money to fix that BMW since there's no better alternative.
I honestly don't want to know what I've spent on guns, ammo and accessories over the past 5 years. Had a great job, blew much money.
And with ammo costs, it's never ending unless you simply stop.
