I hoped that my parents saved it after I left for the military but they left it behind when they sold the property. They did save my alarm clock though that I've had my entire life though. An ancient digital Panasonic alarm clock.

If you are a homeowner, I highly recommend buying an Reverse Osmosis (RO) Filter instead. The water is more "purified" and tastes notably better than the water from our Brita filter.

Yeah... Just find it absurd people think 350$ for a razor is totally justifiable, and it does not even have a butterfly mechanism.

It's pretty much jewelry. I can understand why it's liked and I'd want one too, but if we're real - anything over ~100$ is pure profit for them, especially for a stainless razor where you don't even need to add any final coatings over it. Old gillettes were nickel plated brass, but made to a high quality standard so the coating did not peel off like it does on some modern razors. Economy of scale made the gillette a lot cheaper, but not 200% cheaper.

I don't know where these libraries actually are, but many libraries have their own subscription to it for their community to use, and quite a few of them provide said subscription login/password openly on their website. So all you need to do is find one of those, and then just log in from wherever you are. I've used it a bunch, has worked for many years.

I’ve worn a Kore Essentials belt every day for a couple years now and it’s held up super well. I’d say its BIFL if only using for formal occasions. They’re gun belts so very rigid. But my favorite feature is the nearly infinite track adjustment system. Definitely recommend
