Title: Showoff!

This is a thread for showing off!
Got a new piece of tech you wanna brag about? A new toy? A body pillow? Whatever floats your boat, here's where you do it!

I'll start with these brand new Celestron SkyMaster 25x70 astronomy binoculars I got!
Those are my first astro-binos, so I'm excitedly waiting for night-time and clear skies.
The tripod is some junk I stole off my brother:

This is the most extreme setup I've worked with for filming wildlife. That's an 800mm lens with a 2X extender and a second tripod to get rid of the shakiness that even the slightest breeze causes at that focal length. A client really wanted footage of an egret/heron rookery that can only be seen from across a large stretch of wetlands, so I had to go nuts with the equipment.

I have just observed Jupiter's moons, Ganymede and Europa, with my own two eyes.
Holy shit.

No one else here buys shit?
I just got this awesome home theatre receiver after my last one started dying:

It's a Harman/Kardon AVR-171S, with HDMI2.0 4K support (which I don't currently need but yay future-proof!), 3D support (finally I don't have to bypass the receiver and get crappy low-grade surround via Optical), Bluetooth (which I REALLY don't need but might actually use), Internet Radio, etc. etc. etc.

I really need to stop spending money on shit.

Going to go pick up my new Yamaha P45 digital piano, making it my first significant purchase in a while (excluding therapy)

It's a very comfy chair.

I'm poor so I don't have this problem. Goodbye!

I buy clothes. ._.   Weird niche clothes associated with weird people.  They're beautiful clothes though!  If I actually get something nice in the mail instead of reselling my dresses maybe I will post something here in solidarity.

I just got a couch and some books from a friend who graduated and is heading out into the non-grad school world to look for a job.
