Do you have a source to verify that?
I doubt that it was even the case, and definitely is not the case. The material has to be approved for direct food contact by the FDA.

Their dinnerware used to have lead in bowls many years ago

I don't know what you mean by safe? But I have Corelle bowls, and I think they're great. I have heard Corelle won't chip... but it will shatter. I've never had an issue with either happening.

Why would Corning manufacture unsafe dinnerware?

What works 60% of the time? Why is it illegal? Why Panthers?
I have so many questions

Don't hit people over the head with them, and if you manage to break one don't chew the pieces.

Sex Panther® is a cologne which is illegal in 9 countries.
It is also made from bits of real panthers.
60% of the time, it works every time.

Skip the cologne.

Reply to comment by Halloween3 in Best value in full grain leather belts (USA)? by upside_down_chair
Well...its weird. Hanks has been spamming the hell out of my web searches ever since stumbing on this thread. So...there is that. I visted them once, now I get a Hanks ad several times a day, youtube, reddit, video game rewards, everything. Hanks also has that skeevy wheel spin thing that shitty companies use. Not that all that makes them shitty, just suspect. Plus I am sure N Star will make it good with you, their CS is awesome.

No returns on a "custom" belt with only 2 customizable options? I'm not risking that. Just look at any Hanks belts reviews to see how many people get the sizing wrong, and they offer free exchanges.

Thanks for the advice, I never stated my system that I’m working with was perfect, I’m open to constructive criticism. I would most definitely adjust based on the advice you have given me, thank you, again

Seems like a lot of stuff. Does your gym offer locker rental? My gym charges $10/month. It adds up, but since I'm a bike commuter I can leave some of that stuff at the gym and keep it off my back so I felt the $120 a year was worth it. Mostly it was my shoes taking up a lot of bag space.
Anyway, 3 pairs of shoes is going to take quite a bit of space. A Gallon of water? Seems excessive. I keep an 18oz and fill it up about twice per day. If it's not special water then maybe just refill a smaller bottle or keep the gallon in your car and fill a smaller bottle that you carry in your bag from the bigger one in your car.
Maybe the Project Rock Duffel Backpack from Under Armour?
Or split into two bags, one for the gym and one for work?

Yes! I have a Cuisinart I bought in the 80's and "tank" is exactly what I think every time I use it. Still works great.

No the point he’s trying to make is that people who carry around the big gallon of water containers, are usually people who would leave the container on the machine, obstructing somebody else from potentially using it, while they walk away from the machine leaving their stuff behind “hogging” it.
You can’t ask somebody to work in, if they’re not present at the machine, but I humbly explained, and tried to assure him, that I wasn’t one of those people who do that. I don’t “hog” machines. I get whatever sets I gotta get done in a timely manner, and move on to the next. I’m not trying to be at the gym all day.
If anything, wherever I’m at, my jug of water is always right next to me at all times.

Ask to work in lol, I read a bit of what happened in the comments but I feel like the simple answer is that people would be nice enough to. It’s kinda nasty if they’re sweaty but i guess you just gotta wipe it every time.

Yeah I’m typically team “good knife” but I admit my parents slapchop is older than me and still functions. I prefer a knife but I use their slapchop thingy every Thanksgiving

Listen, people are bringing their personal problems into my thread, when I just asked for a recommendation.
Forgive me if, I’m “Projecting”? I don’t know how else to not come off as projecting, in your eyes, I’m just responding accordingly.
You responded three different times to my comments, without a single recommendation. You didn’t add any value, but chose to voice your opinion, on how my comments may have invoked a certain feeling in you.
I’m not here to say you can’t comment, or feel a certain way, but this whole conversation has diverged into something complete unrelated to the OP, and in my humble defense, I didn’t start it.
I apologize for if I may have hurt anybody’s feelings that has been involved in this conversation. I should have known better to stoop down to that level, and just be the bigger person.
Again, Sorry.

Reduce the amount of stuff you’re lugging around and you immediately open up more options. Osprey or something like a Patagonia Black Hole is tough as hell.
Look for a set of mini bottles to decant a week’s worth of your bodywash and skincare routine stuff into and perhaps go wild with a half-gallon water bottle. The other thing would be to leave work shoes at work if it’s an option, transit in your running shoes.

I can testify that it can shatter into a zillion sharp pieces if dropped onto a tile floor. I don't believe anything else would break it.
