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.

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.

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?

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.
