got some wallets from philkop, i highly recommend you all go buy some wallets



I highly recommend the soft shell wallets from this place. Plain ones look like crumpled paper after a few days, but the soft shell ones hold up well. For someone like me that wants a minimalist wallet it's good stuff.

I bought a 35' flat white hdmi cable to run around the room instead of having a thick black 20' one going straight across the room from my entertainment center to my computer desk.

"I'm made up of the memories of my parents and my grandparents, all my ancestors. They're in the way I look, in the colour of my hair. And I'm made up of everyone I've ever met who's changed the way I think"
Bought a second-hand freshwater aquarium for 300€. A running one with plants and fish (which I didn't really want, as they are real big and will eat all the other ones I was planning to put there, but well. It's their home and they can't just go down the drain, poor things). 1.5 metres long, 300 litres with a home-made T5 hood, giant-rear end filter, UV lamp, a heater that looks like a fire hazard and a CO2 store-bought system complete with an almost-full bottle. And a table I didn't need, but hey. Free table. Someone will use it.

Then the guy decided to throw in everything else he had, at no additional cost. Ended up with a handheld pump and a lot of tubing for water changes, an areation system, two timed food dispensers, a shitton of breeding boxes (I mean it, there's at least 15 in there), liquid hardness tests, liquid pH tests, strip tests for everything, a liquid pH full-time monitor system for inside the tank, more switch plugs and timed plugs than I will need for a lifetime, water priming chemicals, liquid fertilizers, a crystal scraper, a long pincer thingy for planting, some brushes for tube cleaning, at least three different-sized nets, a lot of booklets and instruction manuals, and who knows what else is still lurking inside the bags. Half of the things are still in their original packaging and/or unused.

It looked like the guy's wife convinced him to sell it. I can't really imagine why.

Seriously the best card holder I've ever had, and even if you come from a uncivilized country that still relies on cash and checks (seriously it's 2017), this card holder has room for a few wads of (paper) cash as well. http://exentri.com/en/

I don't understand how people can walk around with only like 3 cards. I have at least 6 that I want on me at all times, more like 10 if I want to be prepared for all eventualities.

I literally could not get through a normal work-day if I didn't carry at least three. As in, I couldn't even physically enter my workplace. That still leaves my employee ID, general ID (driver's license), and my health insurance cards, which are nice to have with me just in case.

Good thing that card holder has 6 card rooms then, and it is possible to fit more than one in a few of them before it becomes not usable.

Spoke like someone who clearly isn't upper class. :smug:

Seriously though, people in their 20s becoming independent boast about abandoning traditional wallets for card holders and how cash is garbage, except actual upper class people carry shitloads of cash with them to tip the doorman/driver/waiter and split a bill when they go out for drinks/dinner with friends.

Not just USA. In addition to those, there's also an id card here, plus a car registration type of thing. Then there's a card for special meal/entertainment vouchers from my employer (works just like a regular card but only for food/some entertainment services), and maybe a company credit card.

E: plus fat stacks of cash, of course.

You don't split bills if you're upper class. You take turns picking them up because you don't care about the economics of a meal short of four figures, so it doesn't matter if they equal out. I have (unusually) 10 notes in my tiny wallet right now and it's still tiny.

I am not, however, in my twenties.

Hahahaha what a dumb post. Rich people don't split dinner bills or especially a bar tab, and you can tip a waiter with a credit card. Stop posing

Why do people carry auto insurance cards? I always left mine in the glove of my car. I took a picture to keep on my phone in case I got a pop quiz about my policy number or something. (In California you can actually do digital presentment of insurance information to police.)

If I felt the need to keep something physical with me I'd just print or photocopy and keep a thin piece of paper.

Yeah, I downsized my wallet to a card holder sleeve thing a couple years ago, and I've been very happy with it. To make it relevant to the thread title, I use this:

Bellroy Leather Card Sleeve Wallet Blue Steel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E1R8X7A/

ID, a credit card, debit card (only for ATMs), a few bills ($40-60), insurance cards, and punch card for coffee near my work. I used to carry two credit cards "just in case" but never touched the backup one.

Also lol at the guy who said only poor 20-somethings slim their wallets and fancy rich folk carry wads of cash.
