Isn't this a wok?

It's a frying pan. I've jumped on the de Buyer bandwagon too because it was drat cheap for something that lasts your whole life.

I also got one of their wok which is gorgeous (blue steel)

edit because I missed the opportunity to post more blue steel

Not a pair of shoes or furniture, but this:

A Pathfinder II inflatable kayak - gonna be spending my holidays on the "rivers" (Denmark doesn't have any rivers, but more like streams up to 10 meters wide) around my home.

Your kayak looks like a vagina.

Rice cookers own and once you realize the glory that is rice you'll spring for a Zujiroshi. Having the ability to have rice ready for you when you walk in the door from work is amazing.

I had one when I was stationed in Japan and loved it to death. Unfortunately, college students make a lot less money than active duty sailors, and I had to get something a little simpler...

I've had the same one for 6 years. I use it all the time. Quinoa cooks well in there too.
The steamer sucks and takes forever though

A book about the only known person to have been born in a North Korean concentration camp that managed to escape.

His life in the camp, his escape, and his transition to a normal society is pretty insane.

Since he was born and raised in the camp, he believed the rest of the world was the same, so he had no desire to escape.
It was only when a man who lived on the outside came into the camp, and told him stories of the outside world that made him want to escape.

I just finished Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick so I am totally buying this. North Korea is simultaneously horrifying and really fascinating.

Finally I have money to buy cool poo poo!

The ones with the huge inflated wheels? I haven't skateboarded since I was about 7 years old, Whistler is probably not the best place to try again.

As someone who didn't own a PS3, I love the remastered games they put out for the PS4.

And a lot of crap for the bike I bought two months ago:

Crankbrothers Multi-17 for repairing poo poo on the move

Topeak JoeBlow Max for blowing air into the wheels

Pedal reflectors because they are mandatory here and the ones coming with the bike where attached with lovely plastic nubs which lasted about 2 weeks.

(not my picture)
Kali Avana. Seems a good compromise between looking like a dork (you still look like a dork), breathability (unlike the skate style helmets) and protection. It was also recommended in one of the biking thread on YLLS and also 30 � off.

I just beat it last night. Took me about 7 and a half hours to finish and I had fun throughout the whole thing. I never got tired of those ridiculous X-Ray death cams.

Sweet purchase on the de buyer gear.
I've had mine about 12 months and it is awesome! 32cm and 20cm pans cast iron because non stick is for scrubs

It's a sweet steel pan, but I am having some difficulty with the seasoning. I'm still trying to figure it out. It may not be cast iron, but the 28cm pan is heavy enough to qualify as a dangerous weapon.

I have a job interview tomorrow so I felt like I should stop dressing like an IT goon and start dressing like an adult. To facilitate this I bought a suit:

and some shoes (but in black):

I now look 100% less goony and more like a real grownup :downs:

I love this. Is there a furniture thread anywhere? I am about to have to buy a whole house worth and would love to see what other goons are doing and where they're buying.

I have loved this so far, but the sick bastard in me is disappointed that the kill-shot damage doesn't persist after the x-ray version.

I... I think I'm a bad person. Maybe I'll just go play Soldier of Fortune 2 with slo-mo on some more. :ohdear:

I have one of these, I think. Mine is called "Mint" though. It looks identical so I assume IRobot bought them out. It works pretty well. Not perfect, but it makes it so we don't have to sweep our hard wood floors that often.
