How dare you make the joke I wanted to make, five hours before I knew I wanted to make it.
How very dare.

Some Oxalic Acid (Barkeepers Friend) should freshen up the exterior!

How do you stack it? Ham, ham, egg, pineapple?

We have lots of bike theft, but not very many armed robberies.
I make sure I always lock my bike, keep it in sight (I use a titanium bow lock, which also makes a great club) and I use anti theft skewers on my wheels. So far, so good… I haven’t had to beat a bike thief with my lock…yet.
I wish you the best. Stay safe!

I once inherited a cheap plastic one from my little sister. It had been in use for maybe 1-2 years. I wanted to see whether the plates could be switched out with new / different ones. Opened it up. You know how there's a tiny bit of space where the plates end and the case starts? Well, turns out cheese doesn't just get stuck in that, it flows straight on through. And so do grease and crumbs and all other gooey goodness. Had some kind of sci fi alien world living under those plates, from the looks of it. Pink and green and yellow and black and somehow simultaneously slimy and crusty. Yeghhhh.

Wow that's such a shame Breville isn't what it used to be.

Reply to My first potato peeler (Sparschäler) I got this Sparschäler 10 years ago already used by my grand mother. It is still a mass product and you can buy it for round about 5 USD. But this one is made in West Germany so at least 33 years old and almost daily in use. by Secundus_Scipio
Very cool. Surprised that's not from East Germany. Something about the design looks very... Soviet for some reason.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in SPEED QUEEN WASHERS; Are they worth it? Which model would be recommended for a large family, which does multiple loads of laundry a day. Doesn’t have to be fancy. It seems people choose SQ for their reliably, and quality, not because of the bells and whistles, or lack thereof… Thanks for any input!! by KaiBaird
I don’t think it ever claimed to be not water hogging.

I got one from Costco. If it breaks, their warranty is good and usually you don’t find generic garbage being sold at the store.

Agreed.
Throwing a question on Reddit is part of the investigative process on the internet. You’re reply s semi helpful in the regard, but I get your meaning.

Cant say. Nobody has been to italy prior to ‘91 except for Chuck E. Cheese who acquired the recipe for “pizza”, as he called it.

I get what your title is saying, but it does imply that your sandwich press took 32 years to heat up.

Break out the metal polish, get her all shiny again, put some nice clear (heat resistant!) lacquer & she'll be a pretty lady again.

In my case, the bikes I own are for sport, they are very expensive, because everything is expensive in Brasil, so I can’t use it around the neighborhood, because there’s a high chance I’ll be robbed of it, I only use mine to bike in the countryside (which isn’t super safe also), I myself hate driving, I would gladly go everywhere on a bike if we had more bike lanes and if it was safe to bring the expensive stuff we buy outside.

Tbh I’d keep it if I were you. Nothing is built to last at this point, if you “upgrade” you’ll have to replace it every couple of years. Just clean it and keep it up.
If you don’t want it, I might.

Damn setup instruction must have been worse then ikea if it took 32 years to get it ready to go.
