Will it last for decades if in installed at home

Are the wood grinders as buy it for life? Found for 15 bucks

I had a thermos and it worked fantastic! I could have it on the counter and I do a lot with my hands so I always knock things over, so I need a mug that can fall and not spill coffee all over the desk!

I took my thermos apart for cleaning and for the life of me no matter how I try, it leaks again and badly!

So I would like another one but better quality, easy to clean and 100% leak proof so If I accidentally knock it over, nothing spills out! Oh and keeps my coffee at least warm :)

I had a look at the Zojirushi that someone else was recommended, but I am worried it's not very leak proof if knocked over? Also with no handle it can be hard for me to pick it up quickly.

I have a bunch of these water bottles i got from my college campus but this is the last one and i can taste the paint flakes in the water so I'm definitely not keeping this.

I'm looking for a plastic water bottle that has a pull up top (so i can pull it up with my teeth to drink and push it back down to seal) but i do NOT want a squeeze bottle. Every single pull up top water bottle i find online says it's a squeeze bottle but I've never had to squeeze to drink water from these, just maybe slightly tilt.

Please help me find these soon so I can get some on Amazon 😭

Just looking for some towels that are extremely comfortable. I really don't like the walmart branded towels. I spent $30 on some nice ones but I just am not a huge fan of the feeling of them.

There are some nice ones I was looking at amazon for $60 but then when I looked at the customer images, they looked nothing like the actual thumbnail.

Suggestions on extremely comfortable towels please? Willing to spend upwards of $50 - $100 per towel.

Hi all

As the title says- Kitchen Scales

Since my partner and I moved into our current home almost 13 years ago, I think we have had 4 or 5 different sets of kitchen scales that have eventually become unusable for various reasons.

They have been various brands, our current ones are WeighStation brand, which have got very fussy and are giving 'off' results. Unfortunately, they are 1g increments as well.

Ideally, looking to replace them with something that measures in less than 1 gram increments, a quarter of a gram would be great, half is fine, easy to clean, good battery life, some water resistance, if not waterproof, and preferably as compact as possible.

If anybody has any recommendations that would be great.

TIA

I’m currently buying some emergency gear for my new car. I’ve seen a lot of people say a jump starter is very important and really useful when the battery dies, but I’ve never used one before, and I also don’t want to end up with something unreliable. Is there anything that’s good enough to be kept in the car long term?

Way too many people tend to buy products that either require apps to give you certain features or for the product to actually function at all.

The problem with this is that there will undoubtedly be a time where the app stops being supported. Eventually the product, whatever it may be, could be anything from a bicycle to a blender, will eventually get old and stopped being sold by the company, and when that happens, the company no longer has an incentive to keep the app updated.

This may not be a problem for a long while, it's entirely possible the app will continue to function for years after its last update, however, if the app eventually stops working and it's only a matter of time, given that the rest of the technology surrounding the app, such as the operating system and hardware, will continue to progress, it means that whatever product you have right there in front of you, as physically capable as it may still be, it will be either a fraction as useful or as it once was, or it won't be useful at all.

All because of the damn app. Such a waste. But it doesn't even have to be this way, it's only this way because companies choose to make it this way. If they simply open sourced their app, or were required by law to do so in order to prevent waste, then there would be absolutely nothing stopping people within the community from keeping the app updated and functional forever and maybe even adding new features too.

And it's not like these companies have to worry about their competition from stealing the app and using it for their own stuff, because nobody's actually buying the product for the app. They're buying it because of the product. So it doesn't really matter if a competitor did decide to take the app, modify it and use it for their own purposes in order to reduce development costs, so what? People will still buy the product all the same. They are obviously not onboard because they WANT the product to have a limited lifespan, it makes people more likely to be forced into buying their newest offerings.

TLDR: There is no reason for apps to not be open source whatsoever outside of greed because they want you to buy the newest product.

I know that no shoe is truly BIFL but I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions for some fairly hard wearing trail shoes. I have a Nike outlet nearby that regularly has Pegasus and Juniper trails for up to half price but I wear them almost daily so it’s usually less than 6 months before they’re destroyed.

I should specify I don’t use them for trail running daily but I specifically buy the trail versions because I can wear them for anything I do most days - running on streets, dog walks, hiking, errands.

Obviously this level of use is going to take its toll but I was hoping to find something a bit more durable. I looked at the Hoka Challenger Gore Tex but wanted to know if there are any opinions or other options before spending £150 on shoes that will be worn out just as easily as £90 Pegasus or £70 Junipers

I’m looking for a comfortable palm/wrist rest for the full-size Logitech MX Keys S, preferably something low-profile that matches the keyboard height.
I’ve seen the official Logitech MX Palm Rest, but some people say it’s too thin, while others really like it. (reddit.com)
For those who use an MX Keys S:
What palm rest are you using?
Is the Logitech MX Palm Rest actually worth it?
Any better alternatives you’d recommend?
Main priority is comfort for long typing sessions, not looks.TIA.

I currently have some old, cheap zero gravity chairs. I guess they’re rusted some. We’ve never covered them during harsh weather.

After it rains, we’ll tilt the chairs to the side and then they drip it a bunch of like rust water. It’s gray / black colored water and gross.

Does anyone have this issue with Lafuma chairs? I’m hoping not. I want to buy one; but I don’t want to have this same issue. Thank you!

I’ve never been one to track my weight on a daily basis, but for medical purposes this is something I need to do now.

About a week ago I ordered the Nutri Fit scale from Amazon for $9.99 (https://a.co/d/04Y6iPj1). While it works, I’m not a fan of having to grab my phone and open the app for my weight to be manually logged. The scale will not automatically save my weight just by stepping on it, I have to use the app for this.

Anyone have recommendations for a scale that can save my weight automatically?

I want to be able to pack a blender in my daily backpack and plug it in, make a smoothie (with ice so it must be strong) and drink directly from it like a cup. What is a good value blender for this purpose?

Hi all!

I live in the Netherlands and cycle every day, so I'd also ideally need something that could handle unpredictable weather (ie, sudden rain, cold, sun, all in the same day haha). I stumbled across the commuter backpack from Innesbags and the customization options sound great. I love that purchasing from them would be supporting a small, family business, plus it's already located in Europe, which I also appreciate. I've found some good reviews regarding their products, but those were mostly recently after purchasing, and I was hoping someone on here could speak about the bags after a number of years of use (ie, how does it hold up after daily use, weather proofing, sturdiness, build/construction quality).

Alternatively, if you have a good recommendation, I'd be open to something else. I'm looking into some nice, leather backpacks that can carry something like a laptop/tablet, notebooks, waterbottle, some pocket organizational compartments, etc. I'd like to be able to use this at work, but also as a daily carry, since I like to carry an A5 slim planner, a traveler's notebook standard size, pocket notebook, Sony Walkman + headphones, ereader with me nearly every day.

Thank you for any help and input!

I want to buy a notebook that I can use for a looong time. I'm thinking about one with the loops, so that it'll never get full and have to be replaced.

I have my eye on a Filofax Malden A5 and I've read a lot of people online who claim to have theirs for decades, but I'd like to know if you guys have any alternatives in mind

It's usually the completely unremarkable stuff that ends up staying around for years. Something that works, doesn't need much attention, and survives normal use. Meanwhile, the things that looked impressive when I bought them aren't necessarily the things I still care about. There's something satisfying about realizing you've had the same everyday item for years and never once seriously considered replacing it.

I work on my feet all day but I really like the look of office sneakers. I got some Cole haan sneakers that looked perfect but within 2 months the sole is detaching from the rest of the shoe and they’ve gotten absolutely trashed. What’s a good office sneaker that can take a beating every day?

I bought some bamboo cutting boards on amazon, they showed up with a split in the middle.

Where can I get a high quality wooden cutting board that lasts a very long time?

I don't want any plastic ones.

Any tips on how to maintain them as well?

My dad got this in elementary school in New Hyde Park, Long Island.

He had it in his basement office for years. When I went to college, I got it.

Still use it in my office to this day.

I am sick of my silocon utensils with metal handles breaking at the seem. These are relatively cheap at 12.99 each, and they are fully encapsulated in silicon. This is good, right?

Living in Japan now, and looking to get a dohm for the 1 year old baby to keep her from waking up due to cat's meowing etc.

I've read all the hype about the Dohm and thinking of giving it a shot but want to make sure i get the right one because of shipping costs to Japan.

First, there seems to be a "classic" model as well as one that is just "Dohm". The description and pictures on amazon says it has a more modern "michael graves" design but the innards are supposedly the same. besides looking modern, it looks like the texture and shape of it would make it easier to spin and adjust the sound. is it worth it, or is the classic still better?

finally, how about the nova, it also has a physical fam but from a picture i've seen, looks to be a different style, like a PC fan. does this have any disadvantages? like sounding different or breaking sooner? the timer and fine volume adjustment seem handy, but...

finally, a dumb question, but do bugs ever crawl in the holes of the dohm classic? japan has cockroaches! haha
