Read down the chain! But since nobody does that, I'll quote it too:

> Regarding Li-Ion cells, you must be cautious. You should buy from trusted sources (e.g. brands) even if they are more expensive or "recycle" old Li-ons by carefully prying open old battery packs from brands that contain these (for laptops etc). > > You need to know another important distinction: There are cells with a protection circuit (against deep discharge, overcharge, short circuit etc) and those without. Read more here: https://www.fenix-store.com/blog/what-is-the-difference-between-protected-and-unprotected-18650-batteries/ Usually cells in battery packs do not have a protection circuit because there is already a protection circuit in the pack itself. > > The tomo powerbanks/chargers have reverse-polarity, deep-discharge etc protection also built in, so protected cells are not necessary by the way. They come without the cells, so there shouldn't be a problem importing these. You can buy new 18650 cells at e.g. e-cigarette store and also stores that sell high-end flashlights.

If it absolutely has to whistle, my mom has a Le Creuset kettle that’s been going solid for 20+ years.

If you need a “when is the water boiling” kettle, I’ve got about 15 years going on a Chemex Water Kettle, and it looks and performs perfectly. The glass is also nice for “it’s just about to boil” for green teas.

Doubtful. These kinds of people don’t behave like regular folks

White noise app set to the fan or AC works for me

I have a burrow sectional and a 35lb dog. I’ll never buy a burrow couch again. The cushions have lost most of their stiffness in a year and the frame construction is flimsy.

Passive is like insulation. Insulating a room (or headphones) does block out noise.

Active refers to a specific technology. Short ELI5 explanation is that sound waves travel into your ear "active noise cancelling" produces the "opposite" invisible waves and "knocks out" the sound.

If you things are not working with your current headphones, I really do recommend a pair of Bluetooth active noise cancelling headphones because they will block out exterior noise, and you can also listen to some lovely sleepy music. This ought to really drown out the unwanted noise, and replace it with something enjoyable and soothing I enjoy this routine quite a lot, even without noisy neighbors. I wear them to fall asleep as well as other noisy environments such as Walmart, or coffeeshops.

Additionally, for those who do use headphones for music or podcasts, active noise cancelling is much healthier for your ears because you can listen as much lower volumes (since it blocks out exterior noise). This protects your ears from hearing damage over time.

However, as many have stated, other methods of dealing with noisy neighbors such as reporting violations is more of a long term solution than headphones. This is a bandaid... But it can be a very enjoyable bandaid!

You can absolutely use construction or gun headphones if you do find some that work. But imo active noise cancelling is going to bring you closer to your coal. Foam insulation can muffle noise and make jack hammers or lawn mowers down to safe ear volumes, but they don't block out all sound. Active noise cancelling headphones aren't magic, but because they can block AND play quite sound on top of it, I think they would do a better job for sleeping if you are not satisfied with the latter.

I know you want a stove top kettle, but those electric ones with temperature control are so nice for coffee and tea. They also get to a boil super fast and the convience is such a boost to quality of life.

I was going to say that you can't expect any battery pack to last a lifetime but If this actually exists, it's a pretty nice BIFL solution. It's kind of a pain to acquire legit 18650 batteries though.

That is a tough one. Good luck with it.

I've had a Timbuk2 Parkside since around ~2014-2015 and it's held up well with almost daily use. I, too, have been waiting to replace it with a less floppy laptop holder but it's still going strong.

Sennheiser has been bought out by sonova, If you can try to get a couple older pairs and you’ll get a lifetime product. Hd560-600 range is amazing headphone, the old marble counter 600 has last me about 16 years and countint, no defects so far!

If you want something long term and easily repairable look into meze 99s, they are fully servicable with a long gurantee! Amazing sound on the 99s and if you want to go budget-er the 99 neo’s are good as well

What's wrong with passive noise cancelling? Don't they use that at construction sites?

Ensure you are purchasing "active noise cancelling" headphones. I suggest any brand name above an off brand on Amazon.

These are very suspiciously low cost to actually be noise cancelling. I suspect they are faking it or calling foam noise cancelling instead of actual technology.

Bose sell excellent quality, and even some meant for sleep. I prefer headphones to earbuds/plugs those and sleep with Bose's with noise cancelling on and some sleepy music from Spotify. Bose is BIFL but they're also really expensive. Any "active noise cancelling" from a reputable brand will be good! 3m sell the style in your second link (but for closer to $50-70 maybe?), we use those for yardwork or woodworking. They're very effective but less comfortable than regular ones.

Came here to say this. I purchased them as an allegedly safe alternative to porcelain plates / bowels so if they get thrown / dropped they won’t be as dangerous. Wrong! The shards seem thinner and sharper that normal porcelain.

Yes, but it is anything but a BIFL type item. It may last you 5 years, but by then the storage capacity will be crap. Backup batteries are a limited life span item. It's just how the chemistry works out.

A power bank that uses standard Li-Ion 18650 cells. See this comment chain for more info: https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/discussions/3251#discussioncomment-1478460

Exactly. Don't be too hard on yourself OP.

There is not BIFL for batteries, but I would recommend Zendure as a brand. Anker are also good ( and cheaper ) but zendure are more rugged.
