Used them today with my two kids. They were my wife & her sisters growing up in the 70s in Småland. Good times!

it sounds like you are an overworked doctor or intern in a hospital. instead of causing such great environmental damage, have you considered perhaps your narcolepsy is perhaps because you are just too tired? no amount of coffee can save you. perhaps you are not meant for this type of career. take a break, find a new worthwhile career where you are not causing such damage to the environment. if you are narcoleptic, have you considered what other kinds of damage you are doing, of which you are not aware? Maybe it is time you came back into touch with the real world around you.

Reply to Space Heater Recommendations? by Stardate8675903
We have no furnace and live in the cold northlands of the US. We supplement our wood stove with oil filled heaters by delonghi and they are fantastic. (Yes, expensive to run heaters but our furnace is kaput so — cheaper than any other option we currently have)

I actually use 3 alarms. My phone, my Halo Rise smart alarm, and across on the dresser is a Philips sunrise alarm clock. Yeah I can hard to rise and I’ve found keeping all alarms on bedside usually results in me turning them off and going back to sleep instantly.

I’ve been using Personna Platinum in my shavette and safely razor. No razor bumps or irritation. Astra are good too.

> You started talking about how 30k “pieces of pointless aluminum” and my Nespresso machine go straight to the landfill, when pointed out that I do recycle and or compost you switch to the evil Nestlé company.
Most people just toss the capsules and Nestle is bad. Even if you recycle them who knows of Nestle actually recycles them all since it’s quite a bit of work additional to remove the liner from the capsule.
> I suppose you must grow your own coffee beans for your daily consumption while we are beneath you.
I buy my coffee from a local roaster who sources their beans directly from coffee farmers. That’s a much better deal for everyone involved, the coffee quality is leagues better than some capsule stuff, I know where the coffee comes from, and the farmer gets paid more because there are no middle men. It’s not even expensive compared to capsules since they’re very expensive given the small coffee content.
Surely you see how doing this is a better option than supporting a known bad company or using capsules? The only “downside” is that I can’t just press a button to make coffee in the morning to save a minute or two.

Excellent choice. Have multiple WF bags I used for multiple years of office commuting and some travel and they’re all in excellent condition

I'm a huge raw denim fanatic. Oni, brave star, iron heart, and tanuki. If you're not satisfied then send them back. However, in my experience; sometimes my denim bleeds onto the patches. Sometimes it goes away and sometimes it does. With raw denim it's usually all about the patina and fades. Even with the patch too! Often I've found that no two pair of the same model are exactly alike except for fit. You could send then back totally! Also, you could wear them like crazy, watch as they fade and shape to you more and begin to have an appearance that reflects your lifestyle and in another year or year and a half, buy another pair. All of my jeans are raw denim and Japanese other than my brave star and iron heart (U.S. raw denim and Japanese raw denim constructed in the UK) now I might get a new pair after two years but at first I bought a pair about every year to year and a half just because I enjoy the fading process and it would take about a year to reach my opinion of max fade potential.

Mine has been in continuous use since I got it for Christmas in 1987. Still works great.

Reply to comment by spydrwebb44 in Good quality boxer briefs (men) for work? by KarlitoTheAquaLlama
As a wife who does major research (ugh and laundry) for a boxer brief picky dude, i swapped him from his discontinued (and frankly subpar) fruit of the loom BBs from Target to both Armachillo and some other Duluth BB that the 20-something year old buff sales dude said were his favorite “cuz they feel like wearing a sock” (points for clear description, guy…they’re made of recycled water bottles but i can’t find the name). He’s had these for about a year and they still look new. I recommend no matter what brand underoos you get: air dry them. It helps preserve the elastic and prolong the life!

I have their organic cotton underwear. I don't expect a lifetime, but they're holding up well after 2 yrs, and they're soft/comfy.

One thing I don't miss from the 90's is the 80's alarm clocks.
