The scissors that came with my grade 1 school supply set. They are not the kind of scissors I'd give to a first grader. They're not 'safety' scissors by any stretch of the imagination. You could stab a man with them. Almost 30 years and going strong!

Honestly, it's worth it, IMHO. It takes a little time to get used to, and it can be a little frustrating at first, but once you learn it you simply do not need nonstick. Even for eggs and fish, they can be effortlessly cooked in stainless with the right heat settings and cooking fats. I eat eggs daily and have owned exclusively stainless for over 20 years. (You can also get stellar performance from carbon steel and cast iron).

Me too! I actually squealed when I saw the picture because my mom still has it. I didn't realize it's older than I am. Makes me feel young again for once.

I have a pair and I absolutely despise ‘em. One of the many reasons, they are essentially frictionless so my jeans just feel like they’re going to slide off at any given moment.

Keychain metal bottle opener from 2000. Gift from my then girlfriend when her and her family went to Vegas. It’s been and edc on my chain wallet 23+ years. Still opens bottles without issue.

Leatherman Supertool. Bought in 1998 as a supplement for my motorcycles tool kit when I did a yearlong US roadtrip.
Rubbermaid Action Packer. Bought in 1994 and still in use. The handles/ closures have taken some serious UV damage but still function. The other three I have were bought sometime in the early 2000"s and still going strong.

A Barbour is great and you can wear it in four seasons adding or taking out linings. The pocket design is perfect for doing work and you can wear them anywhere in any weather

Also heaters are dangerous and plugging the into an intermediary device isn’t sound. Neither is having one automatically go on if no one is home.

Probably. Modal doesn’t really last and especially for that price they are overhyped

Briggs and Riley luggage set from 2009. It’s also the fanciest, most expensive thing I own. I’ve been to many countries and hundreds of trips with those beasts. I love them so much. A handle came off once (not the main handle but a side one) about 10 years after purchase. The bags have a lifetime warranty and the bag handle was repaired and replaced within a week. Especially impressive, because they don’t even sell the color bags I have anymore. Haven’t for at least 5 years at that point.
People always ask me what luggage I recommend. If you anticipate traveling a lot over the course of your lifetime—not just internationally, but between states to visit family, weekend trips, etc.—you should (if possible, of course) save up and purchase the bags you need from Briggs and Riley. I have never owned or needed luggage from anywhere else in my adult life.

Well, see, you just have to ask yourself "am I more of an old-school kind of person, who gets OG lead poisoning? Or am I a cutting-edge trendsetter, who gets sick from the latest toxic plastic of the week?"

Saturday morning, circa 1976, coastal Maine. Warm baked beans in this crock pot with a thin layer of melted butter on top, brought over by a nice neighbor, that I ate while watching cartoons. Thank you, Lillian. I hope you are in a heaven because your beans were.

I bought an Incase Icon laptop backpack in 2005 (I think) in college. Lasted me through daily use in college for 3 years, a year of teaching English abroad where I used it as my daily work purse/carryall, traveled to maybe 7 different countries with it as my carryon/daily use bag, then a few years later my husband took over and used it daily as his work bag for a few years. In total about 15 years of daily use and it still looks brand new.
