Klipsch has some modern versions of this style speaker

Front loader spins faster, it gets more water out so you get faster drying.

Japanese made? Curious.

They’re expensive and heavy but I love Dutch ovens with enamel coating. A good brand and proper treatment will make them last forever, and I think it’s easier to use and a good display piece for dinner parties. I prefer to cook most things in my Dutch oven over pans etc.

Second this Pillow quality is like mattress quality

Allclad if you can get them. We did a stint in Houston and got them as part of the furnishings deal. They are still going very strong 20 years later they will easily see us out of our lifetime.

I just want to say avoid “the rock” line of pans. I was gifted one when I moved out of my parents and with a year of minimal use (single guy) it cracked on the bottom along the seam and almost caused a grease fire while I was cooking bacon.

Careful: All original parts at that age means it desperately needs a recap. Unless you're familiar with tube electronics and the dangers, please don't do it yourself!

I’ll cross post thx!

My Scan pan is pretty solid, also like my Always Ceramic pan for cooking all sorts of things but it’s great for cooking eggs.

If you can find Silga cookware, snap it up! Italian made, very nice quality stainless steel cookware. They cook very evenly and the lids are heavy and a tight fit, which cuts down on cooking time (a pleasant surprise).

You’re bothered AF 😂

I got the purple one (The Dyson Animal 2) and I really dislike it’s self adjusting head. It pushes dirt around on flat surfaces and it’s suction is too strong for rugs. So I have to use an attachment for rugs. It gets a lot of dirt but it’s head design doesn’t fit under toe kicks. It doesn’t have enough ground clearance for bigger chunks. For the price tag, I’m really unimpressed.

I had a dirt devil that was about a 1/4 of the cost and it was the best vacuum I ever owned. I had to replace the belts once because I was drunk cleaning and I drove over some cables. I even took it on job sights and cleaned sawdust and drywall.

Wife made me throw out the dirt devil.

Unless, you have a flat foot. Special order....

Birkenstock is the perfect brand for you. Seriously, it will change your life. Danner, Wesco, and some Redwing Heritage, are the only American footwear that comes close to quality. I have an extremely narrow foot. Italian brand LaSportiva is perfect for me. The Germans and the Italians are the only serious footwear designers and makers left on the planet. Having four times as many sizes, twice as many withs alone gives them a huge advantage.

It's always been a trade off for me. Damage from Lyme disease kinda fried the nerves in my feet. If I don't get a broad toe or extra wide it just kills me. If I get something that is wide enough then 75% if the time they are too big in the heel and rub blisters. Toe fitment is my priority, if inserts or insoles are needed that just what I have to do. If I could find another brand that fit as good as the Carolina broad toe is love to try then, but haven't found anything close yet.

Late to the party but I can’t recommend belts from The Beltman enough. I have a bullhide belt that’s almost 20 years old, worn daily, and I swear it’s better than new.

Yeah! That's what I'm looking for haha. Had a lot of suggestions in here though, hopefully I find something.

Well, most watch manufacturers will strongly recommend you send it to them for repairs, but for them to tell you it’s required just for a fucking battery replacement is pretty bonkers. Not clear why 3rd party watchmakers agreed with them too.

I like the runwell style, but shinola is about as as shady as they come with their marketing practices.

Depends which, you're right some are not great but some hotels have amazing ones. Not necessarily super expensive ones either since I've never stayed at one.

I definitely have tension headaches, it builds up in my temples and get worse through the day + I have TMJ disorder, work at desk all day and my vision strains too because of uncorrectable bad eyesight in one eye but I slept on a better pillow for a month at my mom's and it helped. I didn't consider taking muscle relaxers daily though, did it help a lot? What do you take?

Good question, I haven't had one yet long term, I tried those I mentioned in the OP but returned them. Seems like someone said dry cleaning though. I figured I was going to look into it afterwards haha. I don't wash my pillows that often though but at some point I would.

I figured, that's why I went for like 80$ on Amazon and then tried the 160$ one on Parachute but I actually think the Amazon one was better haha. Lots of suggestions in this thread though, hopefully I will be able to find a good one with all that help.

Amazing! In that case, shinola is full of shit. Glad to potentially get this baby working again tho!
