Got the parts to fix my air conditioner in my car, and a used phone, and a retro handheld I had been putting off.

All used, of course. I'm not contributing back to this corrupt hell government.

We are buying supplies to do fixes in our home like fresh paint, to get it up for market.

Materials for a home renovation project. I should have bought it all long ago, but better late than never.

Sadly, I have no way to import a KMR L--02 Orca OR, since the ATF makes it such a pain in the ass to import onsey-twosey, and the tariffs mean that if they ever get a US distributor, it's going to be out of my price range.

But I did get a CZ Shadow 2 Compact a week ago, and that's going to be my carry and competition gun for however long these tariffs last.

I'm going to have to get a few pounds of powder, primers, and a few thousand bullets (the projectile part), because all of that is going in increase in costs, too. I was quoted a price of $315 or so for 8# of Vihtavouri N-135 powder; I'll probably try to get 16-24#, 15,000 small rifle primers, and at least 8-12# of Ramshot Silhouette powder. About half of the raw materials to make bullets--lead, copper, brass, nitrocellulose, etc.--end up being imported, because we simply can't keep up or don't have the mines.

Might get an SSD for my laptop. Resisting new computer. Must ... resist...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Stay strong. The one you have now works well enough. Nothing broken, nothing needs to be replaced.

You can always get used parts in 3-6 months when the economy really crashes and people start losing their jobs. (God, I hope I'm wrong)

We got a refrigerator. Needed one anyway but rushed it a couple months back because I saw the writing on the wall.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

we got one too, end of december, because we knew the tariffs were coming.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Audio gear. Car parts. Laptop. All were due for an upgrade anyway.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Am six months away from my four year cycle of a new iPhone. Bit the bullet last night on a current model while the carrier still offering top dollar for trade-in, and there are no tariffs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I had some DYI hackable computer kits (ClockworkPI) that I orderd last year, both of them arrived in the last few weeks. Im very glad they made it through customs before most of this shit gets enacted.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I just panic bought a new phone, after realizing mine probably won't make it a year.
