Tank for now. I've had heat pumps in 2 houses, I can't stand them.

When you say minimalist, are you talking about purse level minimalist or front pocket level minimalist?

Don't hit people over the head with them, and if you manage to break one don't chew the pieces.

Backstabbing your friend, possibly costing him his job, most likely ruining any chance he had with the girl, and using his action towards someone else to legitimize your action. Man, that's a trifecta of FU with one sentence. Upvoted.

This happens to me like two or three times a day. /s

I have the same razor. I use Astra platinum. $9/100

Wow, the memories that brings back! A decade of Kool-aid. Very cool. Congratulations.

Buy shampoo and conditioner that comes in a pump bottle and re-use them.

A few cheap 6 ft plastic folding tables from Walmart should do the trick.

Helluva story. Do you think you'll ever stop trippin?

I haven't canned in probably 20 years (me and glass is a bad combination). Mostly pressure cook beans these days. Used to love when mom would can jams. They sit a year or two too long and you've got some great chewy candy.

I've got one that I think is from the 50s. Still works perfectly. We usually use the instant pot now but I can't bring myself to get rid of it.

Nope. When I rotated three pairs of work shoes, thos 3 pair lasted me over 6 years. Individually they would last 6 to 9 months.

That's always been my guess. I had a middle school teacher tell us about sneakers decades ago. My guess is that overtime mildew bacteria Etc grows into the fibers at a microscopic level and slowly breaks them down.

But that's just I guess. Whatever the reason is I can tell you that it works. I rotate between two pairs of shoes right now. Both Brands and models I've used for years. Individually one of them last about a year and the other about 2 years. I've had this two pairs of shoes for about 5 years now.

A lot of Red Wing Shoes last a very long time. My experience is no matter what if they're dress shoes worn every day they're going to wear out pretty quick. Shoes last a lot longer if you rotate through two to three pair of them.

Bought a higher end Oneida set over 30 years ago, it still looks practically new. I think it was $40 for 8 place settings that includes both kinds of forks teaspoons tablespoons dinner knives various serving spoons, sporks and forks.

That's a shame. I have one in my closet that for sure was my grandpa's. Might have even been my great grandpa's.

Samsonite is no longer bifl?

I've never found high end luggage to be worth the price. I was a road (air) warrior for decades, and had the best luck buying moderately priced stuff and replacing it every 10-15 years.

The way luggage is designed these days, anything that lasts longer than a decade: when something breaks it's usually a wheel attachment piece and it's no longer available. Plus almost every piece of luggage is expandable and the zipper is the next thing to go.

Plus, luggage weight limits aren't what they used to be. Get a 60s/70s style case and you will have used up half the allowable weight before you put anything in it.

Things to look for: Fully rotating wheels (case spins 360 degrees). Standard roller skate bearings and hopefully skate wheels. Wheel mount mechanism should be external so it can be 3d printed if no longer available.

I'm a fan of the flimsy plastic lightweight hardsides... When they get really dirty, just bring them to the car wash.

Edit: for carry on use also look at the roller backpacks. Some of them are really nice.

If you don't mind buying used, try to find one of these gems. GE made these in the 60s and maybe before. Ours is on its 6th generation and has outlived it's original and second owner.

If you're asking me, I don't have a strong opinion about it. I was joking with the other person that responded.

Fair enough I was just saying what I heard in the past but looking at outdoor ratios is not accurate either. The bedroom probably has the highest percentage of dead skin in the house for a lot of what should be obvious reasons. So call it 40-50%. Feel better? 😉

How old is your mattress? Something like 80% of dust is dead skin. Mattresses collect POUNDS of it.
