I've bought plugins and a midi controller recently. I think I've spent close to a grand in the last 3 months. A good chuck of that being KONTAKT 14 Standard.

Like 15 Titanic books. It was one of my first historical obsessions as a kid (Precipitated after seeing an exhibition on the Empress of Ireland sinking) and I basically read the neighboring 5 libraries dry of shipwreck content and gave myself a still-enduring cruise phobia in the process. Was sick a few weeks ago and read about those assholes (not PH Nargeolet, he just got too comfortable and stopped fearing his mistress, the ship) in the Titan submersible which made me want to watch the James Cameron movie, and I'm back on my bullshit again. My means have increased since childhood so instead of checking out books, I just ordered a bunch of my old favorites as well as ones that either weren't released yet when I was growing up or weren't available in my language.

I bought an itty bitty camping stove burner.

Cellphone coverage is everywhere here so probably not. Especially not, since you asked.

Preorder has arrived and it is everything I could have hoped for and more. No Switch connectivity but I don't own a Switch so idgaf...I am sure the firmware will be updated in the future to allow Switch pairing since that is literally the only criticism being leveled at these by the reviewers. 35 bucks from Amazon. I would have paid more for this.
8BitDo really outdid themselves. Here it is. Here is THE perfect non-analog gamepad. Comes complete with satisfying, clicky microswitches in the stick and large wonderful face buttons that are a joy to press like very few rubber dome connector buttons ever are:
Size comparison to the two Retrobit Genesis pads (that are also worth every penny):

A copy of teen titans go issues 7-12 in a trade paperback..NOT THAT teen titans go....sorry I had to be clear, before that series was made. DC mad a comic based on the classic Teen titans show that unfortunately had that name and for some reason trade collections of said comic still call it that desite the other ttg being a thing.
Because it uses the classic cartoon network and DC logo it must have been published no later than 2005. Also bought some Nick fury comics, The second agent of shield series from 89 vol 1, and Garth Ennis vol 1 of Fury my war gone by...two VERY different eras and version of the colonel..but both when he was still a white guy who loved a good cigar and a bad woman.

If by miniatures you mean the tabletop kind, what you want is a resin printer.
But still, very nice Ender. If you find yourself in the need of, uh, alternate ways to acquire otherwise paid models, let me know.

Raven from the 2003-2006 Teen Titans is probably my favorite comic book character of all time.

A single tuft toothbrush. It's actually amazing at focusing on plaque around the gumline that I miss even with my electric toothbrush. My teeth have felt noticeably cleaner since I started using it.

After waiting years for them to go down in price, only to watch them jump again and again I finally got a pressure canner. Not those Chinesium things that look like they're made of tin foil mind you, but one of these All American ones that are built like they're designed to house radioactive waste:
It's not so much the purchase that's autistic as much as the operation of it. I had my ass curled up in a ball behind the island during almost the entirety of my first runs just in case it exploded. It's fucking SCARY. You have to lock it down like you're trying to contain a mad god, then it screams and sputters while it vents, and once you get the weighted gauge on it groans and hisses and rattles like hell until you're done and it cools down. I'm glad I can finally can meats and veggies now but holy fuck what a genuine monster of a tool: I can feel the Liveleak logo above my head every time I stand in front of it.

From what TTT said, it's for canning, and instant pots often have the setting for it but the results aren't considered safe because of temperature fluctuations during the process or something like that.

@Nick Obre gets it; cookers can't hit the temperatures needed to kill botulism spores, which thrive in anoxic environments like vacuumed cans. Acid can kill them, which is why you can use a water bath to store pickled foods or jams made with high acid fruits and citric juice, but for anything lower acid than tomatoes (and even then it depends on how you do it) you need additional and consistent pressure to bring the water and steam up to the temperatures needed to sterilize the food.
The National Center for Home Food Preservation is a really good source for stuff on canning and other preserve processes. Even if you aren't much of a food prep kind of person I recommend skimming the site; it's always good to know how a bit about how your food gets to you.

Yea, table-top miniatures aswell as any other kind of cool designs to put on a shelf. I'm already thinking about getting a resin printer next year for more complex designs, but for the start, the ender is more than enough to learn and practice the basics of 3d printing and modelling.
