If this is a recent thing, he might want to get a basic check-up, excess sweating/oil production could be a sign of a hormonal issue. You linked it to shaving head but why was head shaved? Because of overheating?

Never heard this name before.

I see. Thanks:)

A few lifers in the retail game told me the best thing was to go to a podiatrist, and get custom inserts. Then wear whatever the fuck you want with them

Maybe have one commissioned by some wood worker and get her name engraved on it. So you know youre getting quality and it explicitly honors her.

Of course he shouldn’t be expected to wear a night cap to bed. Just let the poor guy sleep without being guilted about his pillowcase. It’s a non-issue outside of OP’s obsession.

We replaced the lid on the left around 5 years ago, after the original lid broke, was fixed a couple of times, and finally croaked. Customer support confirmed the new model lid would fit, and you can purchase them separately.

Continue to be very pleased with them (and how they perfectly fit into this nook).

Legit question: Why choose black?

FWIW, I just had a similar problem. I needed a bedroom at a higher temperature than the rest of the house because of a disabled relative, but it had to be a consistent temperature.

They have extension cords with built in thermostats but I like something more programmable.

I bought a Philips wiz wifi-controllable plug socket (I already use their bulbs) and I took my ecobee room sensor and put it in the room. Then I used smartthings so it turns on/off the heater based on temperature.

Anyway, not sure on your application but there are lots of options for this.

At some point there should be a subreddit for RLC, they way they are popping up and growing. Lol

Oh my God I didn't think of that... 😑

I'd still drive it around town just for the halibut

You are trying to do it the hard way. Just buy a plug in timer for the heater you have.

Don’t be fooled by Turkish or Egyptian Cotton. Most is fake anyways

Red Land Cotton is the best ever

What types of things did your grandmother love? You could buy an antique piece or Amish made furniture that reminds you of her. A nice handmade quilt, a piece of jewelry, art, etc. What would grandma buy you if she was buying you a gift for 1k? If you want an heirloom piece, I don't think I would purchase a piece of outdoor furniture, it wears quicker in the elements.

That’s about $8700 USD? I paid $3500, though granted it was 16 years ago and it was a display model.

It does indeed get loud though.

Was a bad joke! Oof

Just looked up the price in Australia, 13k wow.

Does this thing get loud and sound awesome?

BIFL community walks a tricky line between "good value" and "status symbol" goods, sometimes.

​

My interpretation of an ideal BIFL item boils down to this:

-The item costs you more in the short term, but you are saving money/avoiding waste in the long run.

​

For instance, quality boots which can be resoled repeatedly and last much longer than cheapo's, are a great BIFL. Stuff which is modular, and allows for self-repair with low cost, commonly worn sub-components are great for this.

On the flip side, rare/elite goods sometimes have a cost well beyond what most of us would ever spend in their entire lifetimes on moderate quality alternatives. Such things have allure for enthusiasts, in part because the detailing brings them joy, possibly beyond the raw utility of the item.

Also, if an item dramatically changes your behavior such that you have to be really cautious or paranoid of people borrowing, stealing, damaging or losing the item, I feel like those aspects need to be considered too.

​

Stuff like Montblanc or Rolex can be fine items, but sometimes a LAMY or Casio will suit the needs of many as a durable value.

Thank you!!

Yeah the manual recommends McIntosh, but if course theirs are just rebranded from other brands.

There are a few websites that sell them, and luckily each tube is labeled with the type.

It was purely by chance… love it though

I too am a PNW kid. Flannel is life.

If you have the manual or packaging, write down where to find replacement tubes and which specific type to look for. A manual might just say to buy from Mcintosh, but there are other options.
