I have Shun. Top notch. Most Japanese knives are high quality. With knives, the more they cost, the better they are (typically)

Maybe he's like me and has an office with a shower? I used to run from the gym to the office and just leave deodorant, soap, etc in my desk drawer

Well a traditional soft plastic gallon jug isn't super great for you, it will leech phthalates into your water. Hard sided plastic is generally fine, but if it squishes and is intended to be single use, don't drink from it!

Bröther in Christ you need deodorant, maybe cologne if you’re going to work after

If you can get the shoes down to 2 pairs rather than 3, I highly recommend the Aer Duffel Pack.
I've had one for years, thrown it around at the gym, used it for travel, even had a horse chew on it. It's indestructible and holds a ton of stuff.

Edit: a note that the gray color uses a less waterproof external fabric, if that's a concern. The other colors are fine.

Why does it matter? What’s hindering your workout? Maybe you should focus on yourself more than what others are drinking out of.

If this is steel, then any chloride based bleach will devour all organic matter in less than 1 minute. Do not use for Amelinium

Reply to comment by X_Chopper_Dave_x in I have two low pile/almost no pile area rugs and hardwood floors. I’m tired of vacuum cleaners that just stop working after a couple years. I do have pets. Anyone have any experience with carpet sweepers? And can you recommend a bifl one? by 1212gatez
Robot vacuums are great for hard surfaces but have barely any suction and aren't great for any kind of carpet.

Have made the poor choice of buying multiple Dyson's... plastics are super brittle and was constantly buying replacement parts for both. My Miele has been dropped down the stairs and works great after 10 years.

Yes! And it’s kind of fun watching all the brown stains come off. I end up looking for more stuff to clean lol

bb's, the "ball chain" that is used for military dog tags, sand, something that sinks in water, doesn't dissolve, and can provide some scrubbing force against the residue.

I always used to struggle with this advice- it would still take a long time and a lot of shaking things around. It was a pain in the ass.
Then someone recommended microwaving the alcohol for about 30 seconds. I started doing that and it’s an absolute game changer.

The thing about it is that if you present your claim in a fashion that is in line with their terms, they can't say no. know what i mean? It depends on your ethics and morals and how you want to live your life...youre soul will age differently than your actions, and it catches up to you. That's all i have to say.

Yes, it looks almost like a tiny trash can. Comes with multiple containers, bottom ones designed to keep hot as the bento box itself is an insulated steel container, top ones are in a less insulated area because of the lid (screw-on/has a good seal). They have one that comes with chopsticks and another one that comes with a spork I think.

This is the best answer for liquids, I got a “set”with a coffee flask and a food flask for Christmas and they’ve been amazing!
