  • induction stove: you can buy a stand-alone element that plugs into the wall for about that much, and they're faster and use less power than a conventional stove
  • bidet: a low-end model, at least
  • multitool: should be able to afford a pretty good one for that budget
  • cajon: all right, maybe not "useful" per se, but man they're a lot of fun!

    I was in the upstairs bathroom at my parents' place which had a skylight you could open. I did, and half of a hornet's nest fell from it. I slammed the window shut as quick as I could and then looked down. The other half was floating in the toilet with the hornets momentarily dazed. I closed the lid and flushed. When I peeked under the lid, it was gone.

    Every year in September, the city where I live holds a ribs and craft beer festival on the fairgrounds. This year, the band I play with landed a gig there.

    Everything was going well until, partway through a set, I noticed one guy who looked a little out of place at such a venue. He was dressed in a 3 piece suit, brandishing a large briefcase, and walking around purposefully. He looked like a lawyer. And wouldn't you know it, he's striding right up towards the stage. Uh-oh…

    What happened next stopped the show and left us all with jaws dropped. I'll leave it at that for now.
