Score!

But the numbers bigger! /s

These don’t work. I work in food manufacturing and we paid about 50k for a commercial ozone machine to replace sanitizer and reduce labor. After environmental testing, I am fairly certain it does nothing. Science (and a good sales pitch) is there but facts to back it up, is not.

It's actually not very cheap you know the pants I was looking for is at 60 euros, it's not the same as shein. So it's why I was asking. Anyway thanks

Our LG washer lasted us 13 years, maybe a bit longer. The LG dryer is still going strong.

Hey you seem annoyed about something I don't understand, I was just asking to shop for something I can bought for life, sorry but I don't like the idea that I need to never ever shop anything and rather bought anything I can find on vinted even if It's not gonna last. It's because I'm never shopping anything that I'm asking if this brand is good and if it's going to last. Also you don't know if I'm gonna bought it new or to someone.

Have a nice day

It’s a large chain of second-hand stores in the USA

I'm all aboard the Keen train. Keens' waterproofing does not use PFAs in the process. Their Targhee II are bomb proof and with 3-4 hikes a year will last a looong time.

I love my MOAB 2s but Merrell's parent company has no issue poisoning the UP.

Avoid Asolo. The foam they use to attach the sole degrades even without use. I have a set that was only about 10 years old but lightly used and which sat for a few years when I didn't do much hiking. When I took them out, not even 1/2 mile into a trail the sole started flapping loose. Apparently it's a very common problem. I had them resoled with a Vibram sole because the upper is so comfortable but it was tough even finding someone to work on them.

Good choice! The Rancilio has been a go-to first-proper-espresso-machine for a long, long time, and if you paid $35 for it you fucking STOLE it. Nice! (A new Rancilio Silvia is $865 at Seattle Coffee Gear as I type this, and even at that price it's considered an excellent and capable machine that punches well above its weight.)

Semiautomatic espresso machines -- which is to say, the ones where you twist a knob or pull a lever to trigger the flow of pressurized water into the portafilter, but which do NOT measure or grind beans or automatically fill the portafilter or any of that nonsense -- are usually pretty simple beasts. If you buy a good one (and this is one) there's no reason you can't use it for decades. They're very, very repairable, and are at their root not especially complicated devices.

My pal C., who is a finance guy not some sort of engineer, has repaired his machine a couple times in the ~12-15 years he's had it (once to get the pump to limp along a bit further; a second time to replace said pump).

(Oh, and if you get into coffee, nb. that the idea of a PID is going to raise its head. That Rancilio doesn't have one, but it's apparently VERY EASY to add one to it if you're at all handy.)

Yeah we bought a 2009(?) Gaggia last year from a flea market for $250 and needed to replace a lot of parts as well as plastidip the case (surface rust) and we were thrilled! But this is a real steal!

That's amazing! I would be upset at your mom too!!

Frette is crazy expensive to me. $1k for a cotton sheet set or $3.5k for linen? That's 3x more expensive than anything else I've come across, actually. What (if anything) justifies the price?

Wow that’s terrible

Lighter shoe = less stability and possibly less support. Also less longevity.

I mean it’s mostly a question what you’re comfortable with. Personally I have been using trail runners for everything but high mountaineering terrain, so take a look at Salomon/ASICS/Brooks. If you want waterproof just buy a pair with gore Tex.

Alternatively you can go with an approach shoe, those are a bit sturdier/stiffer but are still relatively light and have a climbing notch that comes in useful on light/medium terrain. Usual brands are Scarpa/La sportiva/Hanwag

Just need to replace more often with dogs, no way around it

I have a stovetop cast aluminum one. Very simple design, easy to use, easy to clean. I got it from HMart, a Korean supermarket, with a lot of U.S. locations.

Glad to see youre aware of gaggiuno etc! Came here to suggest PID 😆, you got this.

Also never read espresso subs if you dont want to be jealous of the people who found a LMLM for 25 cents :|

Down is really expensive to dry clean. Usually over £100 for a king size duvet and they often send it off to a specialist. So you go without for about 2 weeks.

Have...very warm and pretty inexpensive.

I've never seen a comforter with higher fill power than 650, and I don't think it's particularly desirable. The amount of down matters a lot more for warmth.

The thread count also is not super important since you normally put comforters inside covers.

You just want it to be warm, robust, and not too heavy(?). I think this one satisfies those criteria.

Have you slept with down before? Just want to caution you that if you haven't... Make sure you're not allergic. I bought some nice down things from Canadian down and feather and yep, I'm severely allergic to birds. Probably the mites/dust (even though the website says hypoallergenic 😭)

When I got divorced I went all in on coziness - pacific coast featherbed, pillows, and comforter. It was amaaaaaaazing.

Eventually, I got remarried and he’s too tall to fit in my full-size bed and too warm to sleep Surrounded in down. It’s pretty much his biggest failing.
