    I’m going to assume that I can’t just buy a 100$ gift card to buy multiple things, so I’d probably just buy a cheap tablet/phone or something.

    On a bit of a tangent, I actually looked into android tablets to see if you could actually buy one for 100$. It looks like you can get some decent ones but I’m so confused by their wording. I hate that they seem to use the terms “ram”, “rom” and “memory” both interchangeably and completely differently from how their used for PCs. Does anyone else have this issue or is the mobile market completely different from the PC market?

    I’d be like halfway to buying a good Japanese whisky. Can I spend some of my own money to get a nice bottle of Nikka?

        My foster kid/niece has been asking for a new bed. If I had to do it in one item, then I’d go there. She/we is penalized from state funding because Florida will not pay relative care to another state. I’ve had her 18 months as a licensed foster home and still have red tape 🤬. Thanks Ron DeSantis.

          I won’t downvote you for thanking Ron Deslimeball, but I will say…Ew.

          Even if it was sarcastic. Still ew.

            Absolutely sarcastic. If there was a towel Emoji I would use it. I never wanted to move back to FL anyway but he has ruined any remaining joy (not much) about even visiting there.

        How do you know he isn’t buying one butchered cow, which can provide many meals?

        Delicious, delicious, meals. Dammit! We need cheese and bacon now!

    An old console, probably a used PS3.

    Now I have a free Blu-ray player too. And I can play epic games on it (not referring to that garbage company). Biggest bargain ever. Oh, and I can also store my music files and home videos on it.

    All for 100 freedom eagles.

    (try to) Filling up the car with petrol. #fail. That’s the first thing that I thought of that £78 might almost buy.

    Or

    Three pizzas.

    Or

    One bed flat energy bill for the month.

    Or

    Single person’s grocery bill for maybe a fortnight.

    Probably a second hand Microsoft Surface Pro… To install Linux on it and use it as my mobile Krita tablet.
