Ah. That's a shame. Yeah, I don't really use wooden stuff outdoors.

I have in fact had wood dry out and split with other brands

Use case involves some outdoors use. I love the idea of the cast iron tbh

that is helpful. Why would it be bad to have copper peeking out? I've never heard of those pans delaminating

excellent dick?

I use it for doing math with my left hand. Don’t have to move windows around or move my right hand from whatever it was doing.

They're all BIFL though. They have an unlimited warranty on the mechanism. And well, good luck destroying the wood (or in this case metal).

Some strong opinions there, I love them and will not argue

Grinding pepper, in - but not limited to - an off-grid and travel context

It seems the Peugeot inner workings are more likely to last a lifetime

I mean I don’t mind using excel. I use it pretty heavily and ngl I’m generally not a big fan of using the 10 key for my everyday work but as someone who reviews work I require the people I train use it in the beginning. I’ve literally seen people incorrectly hardcore the total into the spreadsheet rather than sum it to make it match their total. You can’t really do that with these calculators.

very nice, thanks

leaning toward Bali Fonte

Has no one (I'm thinking Consumer Reports or something like that) done a independent study comparing different filters? Do the better quality filters not publish any data to demonstrate their effectiveness? I gotta get into the water purifier business.

Chevy bolt it’s actually really simplified if you get a base model not tech heavy knobs and buttons and it’s maintenance free pretty much and super affordable. The range is not amazing between 220 -300 depending on how you drive weather etc but if that’s good enough for them and they own a driveway it’s a great car and likely to last a long time as Evs have a really low breakdown rate in general cause of less moving parts and they have the 8yr/100k mile warranty on major components but wouldn’t be surprised if it far outlasts that

Ooh I like that Bali Fonte , looks BIFL

Yes chunky, wider but being shorter might make up for it!

Doubles as a self-defence weapon in a pinch 😋

Dunno. I have two of them. One with silicone ends and the other all stainless. We've had them for maybe 7 years? They do fine in the dishwasher. We'll see i guess.

In my case I think if the check scanning software matches my excel spreadsheet it should be verified. The damn adding machine is redundant.

I (30s) recently had a modern rental and drove a fleet car with onboard infotainment systems. I’ve never felt more like an old man waving a cane in the air than I did just trying to connect my phone so I could get navigation and podcasts over the speakers. My own car is 12 years old and has a dot matrix screen that tells you the name of the song on fm radio and that’s it. It has a line in and I got a Bluetooth receiver that I keep in the center console. I would use this arrangement indefinitely over whatever is going on in new cars.

I still use one every day

It’s to show your work and verify your totals. If you have to add a bunch of numbers you want to see that they did in fact add everything. The reason you may not want to use the calculator on your computer is that you aren’t able to see everything you added. You can use excel but you would be surprised the amount of people who will hard code the sum total rather than using the sum function which creates the potential for errors. It’s the biggest pain to find the error on why your numbers don’t reconcile when this happens because you’re checking the totals and they are wrong.

Really a BEV would likely be the best option. No fuss and muss. Put a charge point at their place and their car is always charged and ready to go. No oil changes so they won't have to get "scammed". 8 year warranty on the battery for most so that will be covered. But if they are scared of new tech they likely wouldn't go for that. Even something like an older low range Leaf would work for many as they would only need a car for running around town.

I still use one of these at work. They can be pretty useful when showing work. I make the people I train learn it because I kept catching them hard coding cells in excel and when they do the calculation wrong it takes forever to find.
