IMO - BIFL is well intentioned. But r/goodyearwelt are the people you want to talk to.

BIFL?

Anything that is 18/10 stainless. Don’t overthink it, find a restaurant supply store - usually much cheaper than consumer-grade models.

Remindme! 2 years

Call this fucking chode a moron.

It’s not complex, it’s real fucking simple actually. Bend over and let’s see your positions then.

Again, post positions or fucking ban. I’m concerned that I have to ask twice.

Imagine thinking that it’s Biden and allies VS Putin.

Vlad is simply controlled opposition and Ukraine is the money & weapons laundress. Take a step back and it all makes sense.

Oh I almost forgot…

If you’re so fucking confident #POSITIONS OR BAN

As attractive as the price is on Xtra. It’s absolutely garbage detergent. Try your same method with Tide etc and I would bet money your problem goes away.

The Reddit hive mind isn’t going to like this suggestion!

Oh that’s a good one. Stealing that!

Pro tip - don’t ask for buying advice from people who know better, and then question that advice with 0 evidence or knowledge on the subject.

I suggest you do research on it before making assumptions. Because almost all of what you just said is completely incorrect.

Pillows are SO subjective, it’s really difficult to find a source of truth to learn about them etc.

With that said, I’ve been through many, many pillows over the years.

I’ve found I/we like… buckwheat and wool pillows.

I’ve you’ve never tried a buckwheat pillow, I highly recommend one from Hullo. There is a bit of a “learning curve” to the pillow as it’s like sleeping on a beanbag (sort of). The fill is loose inside, so it moves around a bit. You’ll need some trial and error to find the amount of fill you like (you can remove and add fill to fit your body type).

I hate to be this guy, but it doesn’t exist.

Consider a stovetop kettle for a true BIFL product. Demeyere, Richmond Kettle Company and alessi to name a few classics.

Bingo.

Time and time again, we’ve voted with our wallets that we prefer price and convenience over everything else.

Man, so true. My father always said…

“A poor man can only afford the best”

Wait, you guys are only crying once?

Don’t overthink it. Sodium Percarbonate (generic oxyclean) in hot water.

Sub $50 I’d go digital. No analog scale at that price will be BIFL.

Check out Escali’s offerings.

Miele or Speedqueen

OP this is the correct answer. Take a look at crew bags on your next flight. Almost none of them are “mainstream” brands. Most are from LW.

Luggageworks isn’t pretty to look at, but damn if they won’t last decades for us regular travelers.

Not a BIFL product and never will be.

Can you buy Redwing on that side of the pond?

I’m not a vet, but I hear a lot of them continue to use Fox River socks.

Check out Everki. Excellent quality backpacks. Mine is going on 10 years and looks brand new.

OP: Asks for non-mall brands

r/BIFL: Proceeds to list almost exclusively mall/mass market/disposable brands

What has happened to this sub? Too many people are SO eager to give out their lukewarm dog turd opinions on topics they don’t fully understand.

You want a bridle leather belt. Full stop.

Carmine Jack has an excellent custom belt box. He sends you leather and metal color samples with a measuring tape.

You pick the color combo and sizing, then he makes the belt and sends it to you. ~$160 and it’s the nicest, most durable belt I’ve ever seen.
