I really really dislike the mindset that prioritizes finding joy in stupid stuff around your house. It strikes me as selfish. It’s like the best we can do is be joyous. How ineffectual.

If you believe joy is so important, take meth. Take meth all day and mix it with antidepressants and when you get tired, take Xanax. When you wake up, just take meth. A lot of meth brings a lot of joy. That’s why people do it. Yay meth. Brings joy. So important. Meth. Dumb. Marie Hondo.

If you have an induction stove. Just buy one for the stove. I just tested my Electric cattle 2400w 0.5L water takes about 2min. In the induction. 1800w also 0.5L is 1.5min.

Check out truewerk. They make construction clothing for every climate. I have been wearing them daily as a PipeFitter for about 1-1/2 years. I am in California so I have no need for the lined/insulated ones, but the quality and durability is great. I believe the winter pants are called the t3’s. Super comfortable and great range of motion, and look great

Patagonia - MLC maximum legal carryon - had mine since ‘94; 20 + countries even served as a crag bag for a year, hideable pack straps, cordura or some sort of ballistic cloth… this thing is bomber

I have a bonavita. It looks terrible due to something with the finish, but it's been used daily for 4 years and counting. It's also been dropped and spilled on quite a bit. It's not heavily built at all, but it's a kettle, so it isn't like it needs it.

As for the finish, it's either porous and terrible or breaking down somehow. I went through a depressive episode a couple months into owning it, let it get some dust, and the thing has looked dull and dirty ever since. And it's only just starting to develop scale, which given how hard the water is here, I'm very pleased with.
