I’m sitting at work wearing my tan canvas Weird Guys right now. The logo isn’t noticeable as it’s embossed on to the leather patch. Anyone spending that much time looking at it are probably due a trip to HR. It takes a bit of time to understand the cut I was fortunate to be able to try them on in store. Can’t recommend them enough.

I got my first 7 pairs of Darn Tough wool socks in 2015. I washed them (inside out) once a week. Then I got another 7 pairs about a year later. Now each pair is worn once every two weeks.

They show no signs of wearing out. I will likely have these socks for another 8 years.

I think OP (/u/Johnpecan) would probably like to know that his plan is solid.

> I prefer serveability over BIFL.

I think you got typoed. I take that to mean serviceability, things that can be repaired. And I disagree. Serviceability should not be considered to be a separate thing from BIFL. It's an essential part of BIFL in most cases. There are some things that will probably never need to be fixed and probably couldn't be in any practical way (cast iron pans come to mind), but in most cases (things like appliances, shoes, bicycles) the ability to repair is what makes something BIFL.

This is a you question and not one for the internet. Search for chairs using the search engine and you will see the brands we recommend. Visit google and find the retailers near you for an in person fit check and barring that, find a retailer with an acceptable return policy. To my knowledge, zero BIFL chair makers have a 6" seat pad, so you are going to have to find an aftermarket one or get a chair and have one custom made at a local uphostery shop.

These allow for full mother board and cpu swaps when a new one becomes available. So rather than buying a whole laptop again you can buy individual components.

I don’t have one now because my Lenovo laptop is still doing great but when it eventually where’s out I will probably switch to one of these.
