I really like my Judge saucepans, I've had a set of 3 for 7 years and, when I take the time to deep clean them properly, they look as good as new

Sure you can, $1000+ parkas sell every year at those prices at the clearance racks in stores like Sail. The only company that doesn’t let retailers do that is Canada Goose, and OP has already made it clear they’re not into the shoulder patch cult.

There are still really good music players out there. XDuoo made some really nice stuff but they seem to be pulling out because they are removing models from their website. I think I paid £80 for my X3. I wanted to upgrade to the X3II but it's been removed now. My X3 is still going strong and the battery can be repalaced if it dies.

Tustings could be worth a look. Tusting.co.uk

I still maintain my collection. I didn't think anyone would understand the amount of work that goes into keeping a digital music collection organised.

Sitting all day or standing all day is bad for you. We're meant to be moving or at the very least changing between sitting and standing.

Standing desks are great, especially if you can alternate between the two.

A pressure cooker. Not only is it faster, it's easier. Just beep boop a few buttons and your food will be ready for you when the timer goes off (or when it gets to your nose -- it's only smellz).

This! I have one and it keeps me as warm as Canada Goose did but the branding is more subtle

It's cool. I would keep it but buy a modern safer one. I have seen movies of pressure cookers failing, and I would much rather have a new safer one to use. Chances might be small but there have been added quite some safety features since this beast was made.

Awesome made tool though.

What an annoying waste of a comment

I have a red Hello Kitty one that holds up well. But you gotta like Hello Kitty though XD

Man, when I get that much wear out of a pair of socks, I support them by buying another pair.

Not sure if you are gonna be able to get it outside the Czechia, but this is really the only chair that ever helped me.

Herman Miller is a good chair, but it just allows you to sit right, Therapia chairs are made to force you to sit right (making any other way of sitting highly uncomfortable).

At first, I was not able to sit in Therapia chair for longer than 1 hour as it was literally stretching all my shortened muscles.

I was happy enough with my velvet article couch that two years later I bought a couple of tweed armchairs from them.

We’re pet/kids/eat in living room people.

I had a pair of wool-topped fleece lined Harris Tweed duck boots from LLBean when I lived in New York, lasting eightish years in my hands. Built like a brick shithouse, incredibly cozy and durable, I sold them when I moved to the PNW and actually turned a profit because they were limited edition. They were still very functional and undamaged despite years of commuting through nasty city snow and slush and salt, as well as some work on a boat in dry dock. If you got black ones they would absolutely be classy enough to commute in (though demand a change to indoor shoes in an office).

Pricier, but worth it especially if you want something with a lovely and durable real fleece lining.

Give Alden a look.. the are made in the US

Yup, I was going to answer standing desk. I had surgery on my l4/l5 and after recovering from all that ended up with a pinched nerve in my neck. Got a standing desk and fixed it all. I stand all day, I don't even have a desk chair. If I get tired of standing I go do something else or lie down for a bit. (WFH is helpful) But sitting all day is a recipe for disaster in my experience.

I just ordered from Home Reserve after rave reviews from multiple friends. The fabric is washable and replaceable. I got a huge sectional for $2700. All the under cushion space is built so you can use it as storage. I've sat on my friends sofas from then and they were very comfortable. I'm excited to get ours. I'd definitely give them a look.

I've had two pairs of these and both lasted around 4 years of heavy use. Was a bit disappointed with how they lasted, but they were extremely comfortable and fit very well.

After those, I switched to a pair of Meindl's (looked very sturdy, thick leather all round, easy to replace the outsoles when needed). They were much less comfortable than the Lowa, and the inner lining around the heel ripped from both shoes in just a few months.

IL here. I have 2 bean boots - original unlined and the shearling lined. Love both. Quality is still 100% there as long as you get the made in Maine boots.

As a former web developer, I've done the standing desk. I didn't love or hate it. I liked being able to mix it up so I had an adjustable desk. As far as chair brands go, Ergohuman by Raynor is top notch. My husband got one almost 10 years ago as a paralegal who never left the desk and it's still perfect today. He had back pain with his previous chairs and the Ergo was the solution.
