Jealous! Had one that was ruined and I miss mine!

‘Oil changes are a scam’?

How do you live a long life and believe something like that?

Get a Honda Jazz or a goddamn Peugeot, that’s what old people drive.

Berkey filter! Big metal drum thing, they’ve got all kinds of sizes. Used it for camp Lejeune water and I don’t have AIDS, 10/10 system

They make mini cuisinart food processors which may fit the bill if making small quantities. I echo the other commenters sentiment that while I have a food processor, I usually just use a chef’s knife for most food prep unless I’m processing huge amounts of food, usually shredding cheese or today I made scalloped potatoes which would have taken a while with a chef’s knife or mandolin (the potatoes were also super small so a mandolin wouldn’t have worked). I use mine maybe twice a year and all other times I’m using a knife (cleanup is way easier/faster). I typically cook for two adults and a toddler though, so I’m rarely needing to process things in bulk.

Chicago set received as wedding gift in 1981. Still like new

Nothing is bifl if the owner thinks oil changes are a scam. Get a camry or an accord and be done with it.

They also make the best cars. I got a red salt and pepper mill to go with my red Peugeot 505 turbo wagon. They truly make great pepper mills. I refuse any pepper unless it comes from a grinder cause anything else is just rafter dust.

I still use one at work. It's "procedure" to add up the checks you deposit to make sure it matches excel.

I don't know. It just is what it is at this point.

And I have coworkers who use them because they can't find the calculator on their computer?

I highly recommend the Demeyere Proline. I recently replaced my All-Clad Copper Core and D3 with them and I absolutely love them. They have not only incredibly even heating, but also the heat retention approaching that of cast iron.

They are designed for all cooking surfaces but made to especially excel with induction. Further, they hold up very well to the added stress that induction places on cookware. The lack of rivets, handle design, Silvinox coating, and excellent quality glass lids (that you have to buy separately, of course) are also major pluses, as is the sealed edge. They are, however, quite heavy.

Think they were all this color in the 80s. My dads looked almost exactly like this .

We have a smallish Cuisinart that has been going strong for many years. We hand wash it and keep the blade off surfaces to keep it sharp.

Not yet BIFL. Report back in 40 years.

Take a deep breath

That special tool can probably be bought for pennies on Amazon.

I like calling them thongs

I don’t recommend Parachute. While I love their style, we had linen sheets that tore after about a year 1/2. I was so sad and disappointed.

I hate multi piece tongs, they’re fatiguing and always pinch my skin. 1pc tongs only

I have the series 1 elite controller and it has held up well. I have had to replace the joysticks and one of the grips but they I’ve had it for like 6 years…

The Danner Mountain Pass is the way to go. Resoluble, water proof, and super tuff. Danner is the OG hiking boot makers.

Love my kelty going on 8 years looking new with work/school/hiking/travel

I use welding gloves. I don’t know how old they are but has to be around 10 years.

> ...first one got replaced mostly for a mix of 'oil changes are a scam' and I think I did the oil change 6 months ago.

Your grandfather should not have a car.

Maybe an electric would be fine, but somebody that abusive of tech is a danger to themselves and others.

Your grandmother does not need another car until both of hers croak.

This is exactly what I need!

Consider a low mileage 2015 sedan. Even with a touch screen there will not be much operability left, and everything will be buttons. Tell grandpa he only has to push the ones he wants to.
