Reply to When did this sub go from advice and talks of quality to survivors bias posts? Is there a sub that better matches how this was years ago? by xSympl
I mean, how rigorously can we test if something is buy-it-for-life without personal anecdote? Survivor’s bias is always going to be a factor because we just don’t have every other sample to compare it to. So what if someone shows off a thing that‘s been working longer than projected, if it’s buy-it-for-life for them, I’d say it still counts. I’ve got a diesel f250 from 30 years ago still going strong but many others are in the junkyard because they weren’t taken care of, but my Ford is still buy-it-for-life because the engine has been running for longer than I’ve been alive without issue and aside from a little rust, the rest of the truck is in good shape. I’m sure there’s more in the scrapyard than on the road because these were fleet vehicles and work trucks, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t lifetime quality when cared for right.

Reply to Best beard trimmers for shaving by kpcnq2
My boyfriend got Philips Norelco trimmer years ago and us being us, we immediately lost the charger for it. That thing lasted almost 2 YEARS without needing to be charged and with fairly consistent use. I’d highly recommend it, works great and the battery is probably actually magic

My boyfriend had a pair of Caterpillars that’s lasted about 4 years as both work and daily ware shoes. I’d highly recommend them

Reply to My father has developed asthma in his mid 50’s and I think an air purifier in his bedroom would be really good for him. Do you have any recommendations? by C_A_N_G
IQ Air is the best in the business. Look up ”IQ Air vs tear gas”

Reply to Are Dickie's pants durable? by NoSpeekInglish
Had mine since Job Corps 11 years ago, standard uniform. I out grew them but I wore the heck out of them until I did so and they held up well

More thermal mass means longer to heat but longer to cool. If your power goes out, the oil filled heater will keep your room warm longer than a simple blower style heater.

Things sensitive to freezing likes drinks or eggs should go up front, things you don’t care about freezing a little like leftover pizza can go near the back or sides where it’s colder, that should help in the interim as you search for a new refrigerator. Perhaps look into getting it serviced instead of replacing it
