I concur with the people who have mentioned robovac, instant pot, sony xm3/xm4, ooni pizza oven, MacBook m1 - all making my life better. Other things - door frame pull up bar, resistance band. Cheap, get a lot of use, don't take much space. One of those shiatsu machines with infrared - used one almost daily for a couple of years. Great for upper back/shoulder muscle tension release while sitting on the sofa in the evening. Sheepskin slippers, merino/cashmere sweaters. Sheep really know what's up when it comes to keeping cozy. 80's Yamaha U3 piano. Just great to sit down with now and then, deep immersive sound. As good as it gets with an upright. Doesn't really depreciate in value. Yamaha C40ii classical guitar. Can't really go wrong with these, great bang for buck. Plants - fruit trees and vegetables. You can grow these from seeds for free if you want, just need space. Made my life a lot better.

> door frame pull up bar YouTube is riddled with those falling out of the door frames and people face-planting or falling on their back. Are all those failures from improper install/usage or what?

  You can't do any kipping / front to back movement. Worth it IMO to get a beefier bar (see Rogue's above door offering) so that you don't break your tailbone falling off the door frame & can use resistance bands for added assistance. https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-jammer-pull-up-bar https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-jammer-pull-up-bar

  Some of them could be badly designed. Mine has a part that hooks over the top of the door-frame, along with a bar that sits against the door frame on the other side... so the more weight you have on it, the more solidly it sits. I like that my body weight isn't hanging from a little screw in the door frame (which I suspect is a failure point). From what I've seen in those videos, most of the time people are screwing around, swinging out of them and trying to do tricks... if you're doing proper form when the bar breaks, you should probably be landing on your feet anyway? I'd definitely recommend getting one though.
