Reply to Recommendation for a Stainless Steel Cookware Set by Admirable-Mud3917

I don’t know if their quality has dropped but I have had my Calphalon SS set for 15 years now. I have been happy with it but clean them by hand every time, but I’ll concede my next set (sometime in the next 5 years) will be All-Clad. Just trying to throw out a durable economic option

Reply to Store bought versus tailor/dressmaker/ homemade? Thoughts and experiences by theropeiscut

Home-made clothes are fantastic, but you'll need some practice. And a decent sewing machine - don't buy a cheap one. And space. And patience. You can hunt down cheap patterns at second-hand stores. Once you've made a few items, you'll get faster at it. I'd make more clothes if I had the patience. It can be frustrating, but it's also incredibly rewarding. Head over to r/sewing for some inspiration.

Dressmaker/tailor-made will be best, but it will also be costly. On the other hand, high-quality clothes will last a long time, and you won't need to be buying replacements every 1 - 2 years.

I mean as far as I'm concerned the Audio quality is good. I'm not gonna claim it'll beat out your bose or anything like that but the noise cancellation certainly will.

Audio filtering on the mic is just okay. It does fine with ambient noise but if you're moving a lot and it's brushing up against your clothes you'll notice.

Pro 2 all the way.

I got the extras originally but I literally went through 3 pairs on warranty because the circuit connection at the base of the earbud kept failing. They'd last 3-4 months but they'd all eventually develop shorts. They worked great and I honestly like the design better, but eventually they got tired of warranting me and upgraded me to the pro 2s. I'm 8 months in of daily wear for 12 hour shifts and they are comfortable, battery is holding up great, and performance is as.good as ever.

Haven't used the Frees or the NoiseAwares. Neither really fits my needs. I work factory so I have to have that noise cancelling power and that 16hr battery life on the Pro 2s is amazing. Music all night with no charging.

Reply to looking for good work boots by xxxDarkTidexxx

Redwing 2412 or 2414s. The hold up in the shit hole I work in. Make sure to get the redwing boot grease. I had some stitching repaired a couple years ago and they are still going strong. Offer EEE sizes
