I did not know this! I remember the craze back in the 70s/80s and had assumed people had moved on to to more "techie" stuff.

Apple is seriously the only option I think at this point. After my last flagship android phone made by Motorola (owned by Google at the time) stopped getting security updates after barely 2 years, I got an iPhone and never looked back. I was adamantly against apple products for the decade prior that I’ve owned a smartphone, but they’re the only ones taking software updates seriously

Reply to comment by [deleted] in So I bought a karasawa nail file in Japan while traveling 7 years ago, and damn do I love it, it just feels good to use, unlike those cheap sand paper ones that feel like a weird torture by thejunketjourneyer

CB is still quite active. It's one of the few radio services that is practically unregulated

That’s probably the most classic old school BR item of all time, so absolutely!

Is this a CB radio?
They were all the rage some decades ago.
I thought anyone who spoke the language was long dead.

i wouldn't advise that, but it is kinda heavy and does feel robust.
For sure i don't treat it kindly, falls very frequently

Nalgene with neoprene sleeve.
But for metal- like the other poster said, probably yeti or equivalent. Their stuff seems to be thicker (and heavier)

Your podiatrist probably told you to forget the sneakers and go to a leather shoe.
I recommend San Antonio Shoe Company out of San Antonio Texas. Their not cheep, around $250. But I was a research technician with equal time in cement floors as I was on carpet. My pair is now well over 8 years and I cannot kill them. Only secret I found is to keep them in cedar Shoe trees when not in use (keeps them from curling upwards). My son an Electrical engineer also wears the same.
They can also be resoled.
I wear their Aiden Oxford line

Reply to comment by ConBroMitch in Durable brands or materials that aren't wool or synthetic to look out for when buying clothes? Socks and shirts esp. by frostbiyt
Like any other farm animal, sheep are often abused and kept in terrible conditions. Little care is given to the welfare of an animal beyond what is necessary for it to make products for us. There are certainly farms out there that treat their sheep very well, but there's no guarantee that that's where your wool comes from.
I haven't looked into the environmental impact of wool specifically, but other animals use significantly more land, use more water, and produce more waste that gets into the natural waterways than plant based alternatives.
The fact that sheep would die if not sheered is irrelevant. They shouldn't exist. They are fucked up mutants created to make a product for humans.
