More modern machines also has better and faster spin cykles with sensors that measure how much the machine shakes so it has a chance to rearrange the clothes before going full 1400+ rpm spin cykle. Synthetic clothes is almost dry straight out of the washer. And cotton only needs a short time in the dryer.

The luggage works website (I just learned about them from this thread) has a parts list.
But I'm curious, how do you attach your luggage behind your bike?

Sounds like a good idea. Which bags have wheels that can be switched out for 100mm scooter wheels?

headphones with removable cables are the way to go, since in most cases the cables are the first point of failure. most decent iems/headphones have them. check out r/headphoneadvice if you need more info

Yeah. Front loaders are the norm here in Europe because many people stack their dryer on top of their washer and that’s why they need to the door to be in the front. Apart from that, I think Miele is superior to any other brand, they last a very long time and a energy and water efficient while being soft on your clothes. I also love the (top line of) Bosch, which lasts you 15+ years easily while being relatively affordable.

$180 for a tri ply all clad with two all-compatible inserts and the lid. Amazing deal imo

Webstauraunt is pretty good! This is a good way to go.

Some electronics are just not interesting to be Bifl. If you have a machine that’s 20 years old, the amount of energy it consumes is way more than the newer ones. Especially with the current energy crisis. I always buy machines that would typically last around 10-12 years for a relative low price and then replace it when it breaks down for a newer more efficient machine. In the long run this is cheaper than buying an expensive machine, having it for 20 years and maybe having to spend money to repair (such as the person who said he or she spent 600 dollars for repairs. That would buy you a new machine which can work at least 10 years maybe even 15 if you take care of it).

I'm really loving my Staub enameled cast iron (albeit 6 quart) :)
For a larger pot I have a pretty well priced 12 quart AllClad bundle I found on amazon. Comes with a couple drainage inserts for steaming / etc. It is a really nice piece and I think it will last for decades.

Would say the wired audio-technica ath-m50x is a pair of headphones that would last you definitely a long time. They have decent comfort, good material quality and nice sound!

I've got 2 adults and 2 kids under 3. We do anywhere from 10-20 loads a week. Every one is as full as will still clean.

Most wired hifi headphones from the classic manufacturers in the higher price categories are pretty good and durable. Sound quality has been figured out a long time ago so theoretically many wired headphones can last maybe even decades if you take good care of them.
Perhaps the only problem are the earpads that may need to be replaced every few years if the headphones are in daily use.

That’s exactly what I’m looking for. I don’t need 20 years of warranty for “normal use”. I need a luggage that’s self repairable and the seller offers replacements parts for a long time.

I have a Lodge enameled cast iron which if you take care of it will outlast you … made some Chile in mine yesterday. Think I paid around $70 ish for it at Costco a few years ago. Similar sized Le Cruset would set me back closer to $400.

it's gotta be you brother, the only thing that has ever given me issues are Batteries and sticks. I have never had a face, shoulder, or d-pad failure.

It’s hard with electronics as they do get upgraded and older ones become obsolete. They can actually become security risks because the firmware won’t get updated anymore. That’s true even for smart TVs which are basically massive tablets. For electronics I recommend just not going for the latest version but one or two generations behind. It’ll still get firmware/software updates and is cheaper than the newest one. Changes these days are so incremental they barely make a difference unless you are super into getting the latest stuff (just look at the iPhone 12-14). Use it for a few years, then resell, get the next.

Can't tell about the Ford, but the VW Beetle isn't actually a bug, and hasn't played in a british rock band either :(
