The most expensive thing I bought on ADHD-fueled impulse was a $2500 portable radio transceiver. I should probably sell the thing but eh.
Funny thing is it normally comes as a kit you have to assemble, and I paid extra to have it assembled. And it feels like a hand-assembled product, that is, not at all something you could toss around. But it’s supposed to be something you stick in a backpack and hike up a mountain with. I got a battery module for it, but you have to remove some screws and crack that chassis open like a clam every time you want to do anything with the batteries.
I also bought the iambic paddle (the thing sticking out the bottom).
It’s got the ergonomics of a scientific calculator from the 80s.
But why
ADHD
Just for 99.99% of people - even with ADHD - that price is outside impulse buy/looked sort of cool territory.
So I’m curious what the motivator was and if you have actual use for it
Wanted a big calendar and board to sketch ideas and stuff (I was making $40k/month at the time - Covid bull run).
Sent it back because I was annoyed at the lack of stand.

Understandable, did you get any use out of it though?
Nah sent it back due to the lack of stand. Settled on an eco show 15 and a big analog whiteboard
