About 10 years ago I went from George Castanza fat wallet to a slim wallet. 4 cards, 3 paper copies of insurance stuff, and cash (less cash these days). I will never go back to fat wallet, and I recommend Serman Brands. Or others like it. I bought for maybe $16, now it looks like it’s $25. It’s still like new, probably because it doesn’t get abused like fat wallets used to.
I had an RFID anti-reader safe one, but my key card didn’t work thru it lol so I ended up getting a non RFID safety model.
Less stuff is better :) cheers.

Honest question: is it ok to say Indian? I’m assuming you mean an American Indian and not an Indian as in from India.

There are people today still using Kaleshnikovs and Lada's produced in Soviet run factories.

This is the perfect opportunity to get some custom boots if you want them. r/Boots can help you out more than I can. Some nice boots will change you forever, and they’ll last too.

Virginia State.
I have already been to Maryland years ago,
Here in Latin America lots of people have family members in the U.S and they send them American Products to there family in there home country because it doesn't exist there and it's more durable.
They like to send medicine, clothing, fragrances, makeup products, TVs, snacks, cars, money ect. It's shipped in boxes or brought in there suitcase.
As a thank you, they get food from there home country witch they miss a lot, and other nationals good that are not available in the U.S.
Levi's and Adidas ect are available but they are to expensive here. family owned stores have them as well but you never know is your getting a fake.

Pastry chef here- I second Dansko. Just gave my first pair I had back in culinary school to goodwill as they still have plenty of life in them! I figured since they are on the pricy side, maybe a student or new cook will find them and give them a loving home! I also rotate between leather Birkenstocks, (they make one with a slip resistant sole: Tokio Super Grip) and Swedish Troentorp clogs, which are like Danskos. https://troentorpsclogs.com/men?size=47+(US+Men’s+14)

Possibly. What OP is probably noticing is that if more heat is transferred by convection, there may be less heat transferred as radiant heat, so if you sit or stand in front of it, you maybe won't feel the warmth so much. The heat is still transferred, but using a different method. So, the room may be warmed more efficiently with more air flow, but, for example, your legs, if you are sitting facing it, may not be. So it depends what you want. Are you more interested in warming the room, or your person?

Mine were discounted because of the inverted colors, dark for salt and light for pepper. They are great not that I got used to the colors

The best $300 I’ve spent in the last year was on a far infrared mat. Me and husband use it daily. Google the benefits of far infrared - it’s amazing.

Bacteria, fungi or mold love damp environments. They'll eat the leather and produce foot odor in return.
Let them air out for at least 3-4 days in between wearing, and they last longer, and more importantly, NO foot odor!

DMs are no longer made the same way. Supposedly Solovair make them the original, can't kill them, way.
Suggest getting at least 4-5 pairs of shoes. If they dry out between wearing for at least 3-4 days, then they won't smell. I have leather shoes, 20 years old that just smell like.... Leather.
Allen Edmonds are great. Come in slip resistant, and or Danite soles. Can be resoled.

Check out Ikea. They have lots of lamps like that, they last and are dirt cheap.

Your best bet is to find one in person and feel how sturdy it is. Not much can fail on a lamp

I meant that I don't want to see the bulb, or most of it, when I'm sitting down next to the lamp. Trust me, for a floor lamp next to you when you're sitting you don't want one of the tall ones.

They take a while to heat up but also will remain hot for a good long while after your turn it off so it evens out. My mom still has teo DeLongi oil heaters that she bought when I was a child. There's almost nothing that goes wrong with them and they've changed very little.

I absolutely mean an Indian craftsman from the country of India.
Contrary to the lyrics of "Home On The Range", there are only bison in North America, not buffalo.
