You let it sit with chemicals in wet environment and it corroded maybe questionable coating. Plating isn't important there, the top part matters more.

Reminds me of the Captain Samuel Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness from the Discworld series.

Nalgene water bottles are fantastic. I had mine nearly 15 years until this sumer when I lowered a scissor lift directly down on it. It caved in but still sealed perfectly.

Bingo.
Time and time again, weāve voted with our wallets that we prefer price and convenience over everything else.

I've done it with mine. It was fun, but bent the blades a little.

I use melamine sponges. I eat off of this really cool, super thin. bone china and itās pretty easy to scratch. If I cooked at home or had pans that I used for cooking or washed dishes, Iād still use melamine sponges. But chain mail sounds cool af. I wonder if I can buy chain mail towels for the beach or just to throw around.

I can slice a carrot in about 3 seconds if I feed it in from the rear.

One time petco gave me a free rat because it was almost 2 years old and thus close to death. Figured I could give it a good last year or something so I took it home. He lived to be 7 which is insanely long for a rat but not necessarily crazy for pet rats, problem is that they arenāt supposed to live that long so he became paralyzed waist down seemingly overnight and we had to euthanize him.

Mekong giants can live past 60, thatās probably the type theyāre referring to. Some other types live as little as 5 years.

Hi! Thanks for letting me ask this question. I bought this razor off Amazon in an attempt to reduce the waste of throwing out cartridges and whole plastic razors. Lately itās been getting rusty, and I thought maybe it was the blades. The recent blade change wasnāt that long ago. Iām afraid the plating is coming off. This is my first razor to use of this kind, so Iām happy to take any advice. It does hang out in the shower (Iām a girl, use it on pits and legs) I disassemble it and used some cleaner to figure out what was going on. TIA
