True makes full height also

For an under counter even approaching BIFL, you might consider commercial quality brands like True. You'll need to get them probably through restaurant suppliers.

My favorite thing about Zebra pens is the silly video. It's actually a pretty OK pen too, just may not be the %woo-hoo you're after. The stainless F-701 is my edc.

For sheer writing comfort, my top inexpensive pick is Pilot's G2 rolling ball gel pen in either 0.7mm or 1.0mm.

In addition to squeezing out air, it's a good idea to zip bag or double zip bag if packed tightly in luggage next to other stuff you don't want destroyed ( electronics, underwear, medications...)

Hi u/Mstormer!

For cannisters, I used cannisters from Ronaqua such as:

I found Oceanic Water Systems to be a great outlet for refills. Their website has good info and a variety of filter types for your choice. This one I chose for chloramine removal (which you probably won't need) carries an NSF rating:

You may browse the Oceanic website to uncover the specific cartridge types that apply to your particular water quality and use. Some of the chinese cartridge refills do not have NSF btw.

Here's my dedicated Car Washing Filtration rig photo. The DeIonization Resin is a Wash-Pak from ServaPure.com's website. Even though the rig puts out faultless water, we still don't use that water to mix baby formula with for our grand baby because garden hose parts construction (see distilled water cases background), but I wouldn't hesitate to drink it straight from the cannisters!

If you're not on well water and you're reducing TDS, include one of the activated charcoal filters as the core of your filtration plan (not necessarily first in line). If your solids are limestone as mine probably are, make a plan to remove that from there with the filters you choose. (EDIT: removing LEAD is a special case, you'll need to research that) While you're not buying a reverse osmosis unit, their promo ads and review websites will tell you exactly what cartridge does what, you can pick what's important and needed for your particular water from that. They're all types also available in cannister cartridge form.

680 ppm total dissolved solids here,, super hard water.. Make sure your water supply uses only chlorine and not chloramine (harder to remove). Check your federal water quality report municipalities are required to file, Google for it. I studied Amazon reverse ionization (EDIT: should have said Reverse Osmosis) ads and various online reviews to determine which filter types I needed, then bought standard canisters and refill cartridges of those types to do the actual filtering.. in my case it included sediment filter, deionization resin, and carbon block but I have chloramines so YMMV. If you are on well water or they dig up your pipes a lot(like me), the sediment filter might be nice but totally optional.

Water out= 0 ppm TDS! WOOHOO! Wash that car and leave no spots!!! You can also get 4.5" diameter canisters either 10"or 20" tall depending on consumption. Bigger lasts longer but costs more to replace.

End table sized just right to take no more than minimal space between loveseats. Made in "I" shape, no cabinetry just top.

Hi, u/blaze1234 ! Thank you for this, my reply wound up sounding more aggressive than I intended. The downvote to my post was appropriate, I should have been more in tune to the implied "BIFL" context as well! Good luck in your quest!

You do you, but I lose stuff when I go camping. I'm not taking any prized collectibles with me!

And BTW your post could have been more specific as to what you were truly looking for...

Why not take the McCormick black peppercorn grinder with you, just as it comes from the grocery store? It even comes with a dust cap. Not much larger than the 1" you wanted, and pretty inexpensive.

Hi u/imzeigen, my wife and I are 70 and drive a 2021 Honda Pilot with nav and entertainment center (which plays CD's or blu-ray). When you insert a CD it starts playing, real simple. It does have the center screen though. We aren't technology shy. We've had great service life from our Hondas and Acuras. As an alternative to BIFL, Honda leasing in some cases will get them out of the vehicle before any major maintenance is required, like new tires. We leased a very basic Acura through a nationally advertised promotion previously for a great price. You likely would be unable to put in an aftermarket cd player though, so a more upscale model with an entertainment system will be required, which would likely be bundled with navigation system too. I miss our Element, Civic, Fit, and the Prelude 2 seater we had 40 years ago!

Replaceable cables are a plus, and the screw collar type connector at the headset end is more durable than the ones using 1/8" plugs both ends. This eliminates one type of failure, except you'll be buying another cordset then.

BTW, I love my Sennheiser HD 600, which has replaceable cords with 1/8" cords both ends, but has lasted me many years with only reasonable care. Excellent for music. Sometimes offered via Drop (MassDrop) as HD 6xx for better price.

The GSP670 is a terrific wireless gaming headset with mic and Bluetooth. No cords at all except while recharging. Pretty ok for music too. Comfortable. Earpiece cloth came loose but easy to tuck back in. Battery has great life between charges, and you can continue to use corded connected via USB cable.

Their higher end stuff is better quality than the entry level stuff.

Airpods Pro in your budget? Might be more durable

Oster 4 slice stainless pop-up toaster, well built, has a wire clamp on each side of your toast that centers it for even browning and adjusts to accommodate widths from bagel to thin sandwich. Also has a button for "frozen" to do that just right without changing the "brown-ness" dial. It handles super thin slim sandwich bread with ease. Ours is probably 9 years old.

Amplification required or powered speakers already?

I'd suggest "Roots Men's Trucker Jacket Vegetal". They're not cheap, but they ARE real leather.

Roots leather jackets are very high quality and long wearing. I have one that I got in 1998 that I wear regularly and shows a nice aging patina but no signs of wear.

The Dot waffle maker is available in several novelty waffle mold shapes (rabbit, etc.) Is that what you meant

A good quality stainless steel water bottle if cleaned properly will lend no taste or smell of its own. Lots of reviews out there, mine is ~5 years old and going strong.

I bought this one recently when the one I had quit working properly. Typically, they have to be replaced every few years for one reason or another.

BIFL? no idea, probably not. But it works well, has a tracking app for your phone that is great, and according to reviews it is one of few that is actually consistently accurate. I like it.

eufy by Anker, Smart Scale P1 with Bluetooth, around $35 USD.

I've used my Merkur 38c HD barber pole, a heavy razor with a long handle (good grip if big hands) for many years and love it. High quality machined. Any of the Merkur razors would be excellent gifts, 34c, 37c, 38c etc.

But Henson has quite the following as well. BTW for the OP, there's a subreddit r/shaving that will give you a hundred answers to this, I stick by my Merkur.

By headphones, you mean over-the-ear not earbuds, I guess. I have a pair of Sony WH-1000X m3 noise cancelling headphones that impress me a lot. The noise cancelling feature is excellent, can be deactivated, works fine in a car (not driving of course), airplane, any noisy location. Can also be used for noise cancellation without music just for quiet isolation in those places (for study time, etc). Rechargeable. Bluetooth, also works hard wired with included earphone cable. Ours are 2 years old so not much of a data point there on lasting a long time. There's a newer model out but I tried both out at Best Buy and chose the m3. The XM3 are still available, still excellent and have been heavily discounted. Available at Best Buy, Amazon, etc.

I recently bought this to light up my back driveway. The advantage might be solar panel is separate from the light, comes connectorized so easy to feed through a window sill, and light and solar cell can be in two locations up to ~16 feet apart.

Yes, I prefer the button myself.

That may be true, but I have four pairs of Dickies cargo pants over 5 years old that have rarely missed a wash day, bought at the outlet mall, so I have no complaints. Buyers beware, of course!

Both have outlet mall stores in the US with lower prices on certain things

Thorlos men's walking socks in plain white. Mine have lasted many years.
