I love my Panama Jack boots (I have the Bambina Igloo model). Really warm, well-made and durable and waterproof if you take good care of the leather (never had a problem). I'm in my third winter with them now, wear them almost every day in rain and snow and they still look like new.

Check out Quartz parkas. Made in Canada, the warmest coat I’ve ever had, very durable. I’ve had mine for 8 years and it looks new. May be a bit out of your price range but they do have some Boxing Day sales.

It really depends on the shape of your body. Chairs are one thing I don't buy online. Instead I go to Staples or some such place and just sit in them all and see what feels best. Often the expensive ones are not even any more comfortable than the cheaper ones.

EZ-Duz-It can opener has a lifetime guarantee when you buy from sierra trading company. You can also buy repair kits for them. I found out about them just this Christmas, so I can’t speak to how long they’ll last. My brother was very excited to tell me that it was the best can opener he’d ever used though. It feels solid. I have high hopes.

I’m not sure when exactly Woolrich has moved their production, but I got one around 5 years ago and it’s still good as new.

How good is the kitchen aid quality these days? When i did i course in machine elements during my engineering studies my professor said that his kitchen aid had broken down after a few years. When he opened up the machine he said that many parts were underdimensioned in witholding forces.

Pay attention to where the Mammut boots are made. Most (if not all) are made in Vietnam now. Lowa still makes theirs in Germany or Slovakia.

Unfortunately I have heard that they went down in quality over the past few years

Check out Hag Capisco. It encourages moving around and changing your position a little while sitting. That is very important. For me it is also very comfortable and encourages me to sit up straight.

Looks like you won't be able to get it repaired or updated by Apple but the software syncing thingy is still into iTunes/MacOS, which is a nice touch if you ask me.

Someone did it there with a 1st gen. The hardest part was the dongle pile to get FireWire on a recent computer but the software part was a breeze. So it should go well with a USB iPod. https://www.makeuseof.com/use-original-ipod-in-2022/

I was thinking about buying this from Spigen for my MacBook. Every product I have had from them held up pretty well

Oster Classic 76.

I actually just upgraded my Classic 76 to the Cordless 76, and like it a lot.

I shave my head about twice a week, and with a 00000 blade on the Cordless, I can do that wherever I please. Usually in the shower at the gym. Keeps cleanup super simple.

I also cut my kids hair with a longer blade than I use, and the cordless is way easier to wrangle.

No regrets on either.

For real? I’ve heard it was impossible… if it’s true it’s incredible

They’re not alone, my HP laptop from 2013 still work like a charm. But I recognise that this is my only example, because usually my devices have been dead for a long time. While at Apple I often hear this kind of echo. even if I don’t really like the apple brand, I must admit that they seem to be doing strong on the durability of their hardware

That's sad. I was not expecting this :/

Thank you very much for sharing your experience

If only I can find one, plug it and enjoy… but, for this I need to SYNC it. It’ll be barely impossible I think

Thermodynamics can be non-intuitive some times, but the rules are quite simple and don't depend on any "perfect conditions". Anyone who paid attention in a college physics class is rolling their eyes at your willful ignorance. If you're using electricity to heat your home the only things you can do to improve efficiency is improve insulation, selectively heat the rooms you are in, or switch from resistive heating to a heat pump. The fact that your electricity bill went down around the time you made a change to your setup doesn't undo basic scientific facts.
