yeah, it's a mate cup. Traditionally, they are made with a pumpkin-like plant, but due to high humidity in my house, those tend to get moldy, no matter how much I take care of them.
Well, to my surprise, I found out that fucking Stanley make insulated steel mate cups, just like their regular cup, but in the gourd like format of mate cups. I got one and it's been with me for over a year, just like new.
I also have a "Stanley mate thermos", it has a cover that doubles as a mate gourd, and a special beak that always pours ot water at the same speed and pressure, so you can pour water without ruining the mate mount, it's pretty neat.
We drink so much mate around here that we have plenty of accessories for it. For instance, all electric kettles sold here have a special mark for the ideal temperature for mate. But still it was pretty much a surprise to see a multinational company like Stanley making mate accessories for our market.


The case is a Hyte Y70 Touch. The neat thing about it is that this screen is a real screen powered by USB but using a DP connection for graphics. So it doesn't depend on some shitty software and driver made only for Windows, like the screens in some other cases I saw. I can easily use it in any Linux distro, and put whatever I want there. I am running Bazzite right now, so I just put the KDE widgets, because it's a chore to install some stuff in an atomic distro like that, but if I ever do the jump to NixOS + Hyprland I intend to do a eww setup for it.
