need to define "quality". you can buy a $5000 "designer" outfit that will shred in the laundry if you dont wash it correctly. so many different kinds of clothing go for different kinds of "quality"

if you look more from the sustainability angle you can find a decent amount of work

one interesting thing that has evolved for me- I used to think BIFL was a universally good strategy for reducing waste and saving money. buy everything for life, never have to buy anything more than once! an exaggeration but that was my approach.

Now I realize that BIFL is more than just buying stuff that will last. Its buying atiff that will last and that I will use. Turns out those high end BIFL bean bag couches dont fit with my lifestyle anymore. I try to be more choosy now and conservatively do the BIFL thing on things that won't go out of style or that aren't specific to my current lifestyle.

I'll always need to eat so kitchen stuff is good. clothing/furniture/ anything that follows trends and life stages are hit or miss.

but don't rely on any one of those as the only copy

3-2-1 backup rule: 3 copies on at least 2 different medium with 1 copy offsite. As an apple user, storing things on my laptop with periodic time machine backups to an external drive and sync to icloud satisfies that

ive had toasters where the heating elements are weaker on one side so they dont toast evenly, but never one where the heating elements are completely absent. that would just give you half toasted bread

unless you're running your toaster in "bagel" mode, which by design usually only toasts one side (usually the inside)

i have never had a toaster that didnt toast on both sides
