Lol it’s not esoteric if you live in India. Have to laugh at this sub sometimes. There are probably some Indian people who have opinions on which is best quality. Open mind to other peoples realities.

I can just tell you love this bike. Happy loving picture. Love it.

I stay frugal with eBay. Usually I can find what I want at a good price.

They usually have some good finds, and are quite large. I would say 80% of my belongings come from Savers lol. Heck I’m going to go today! I’m upset that they seem to have closed down all the dressing rooms, at least in my area.

It’s a large chain of second-hand stores in the USA

I mean yeah obviously, of course I do not trust a government that caves so readily to corporate interests and lobbying and does not put the health and safety of its people first. Why are you splitting hairs of two sides of the same coin.

“It all began with the cigarette, the leading cause of fires in the United States. Against pressure to create cigarettes that safely extinguish on upholstery, the tobacco industry redirected the blame onto furniture manufacturers, claiming that they have a responsibility to make furniture less susceptible to fire. The door was opened for the chemical industry, which lobbied heavily for the use of flame-retardants in furniture. The very law supposed to protect our rights now required the use of toxic chemicals in household products. Investigative reporters at the Chicago Tribune first published this alarming series of events.

Research strongly connects the chemicals in flame retardants to cancer. Firefighters are disproportionately affected because of their consistent exposure to the chemical fumes released from furniture in fires. The toxins are found in human bodies and in breast milk; children are among the most susceptible.” Link: https://green.harvard.edu/news/uncovering-flame-retardant-scandal

Yeah I definitely don’t trust the government on this issue. It’s serious, linked to cancer, endocrine problems, all kinds of things. Plus they don’t actually prevent fires, and when they do ignite, they create serious health hazards for fire fighters, it’s seriously fucked. There’s hundreds of different kinds of FRs, and they’re still being studied individually. It’s very difficult to get a clear picture of one’s own personal risk. As a consumer, since there is no way of knowing which products contain which chemicals, I opt to avoid them as much as possible by choosing untreated alternatives. Why risk it.

Not to make your search more complicated, but please be aware that many pillows are treated with flame retardants and formaldehyde that are really not good for long term exposure. If you live in the US, certain bedding and household materials are required to be treated with these chemicals to meet flame retardant standards. Additionally, certain foams off gas some pretty nasty stuff.

Certain materials are exempt from this chemical treatment, as they are naturally flame retardant. Wool and natural latex are two safer options.

Where is the clipper and where does your fingernail go? I am looking at the picture and I can’t understand it.
