Aw, probably just needed oil. Had a good run though.

Some fans are still made with the gradient I believe. That's like my favorite part.

I'm glad someone is buying them, but I'd save money and get a non adjustable. I never adjust mine anyway. But what I really want is a US made shavette.

Some of those motor repair shops will deliver for you for a small fee. Or, if you're in a big enough town, you can find local delivery help on taskrabbit or something for maybe $20-30, or rent a pickup truck from home depot, $19.95 for 2 hours I think.

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.

Pategonia used to have a thing where they would check, clean and resell used outerwear. I’d look into that.

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.

They have non-gun belts too, just hidden in the menus

If you wear a 28 or 29 pants, I'd think a 32 belt would be just fine. I wear a 34 pants and a 38 belt.

Their belts look really good but I'm afraid they would not fit dress pants. 1.5 inches are too wide for dress pants.

I had that blue one up until about 2010, mine finally got to the point that I had to turn it on and give the blade a nudge to start spinning. It was such a good fan though.

Personally I’ve found the Lifestraw Home Water Pitcher to be a dream come true. https://lifestraw.com/products/lifestraw-home-glass-pitcher?variant=40904455028847¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&msclkid=ac369e28b46612a405cbfda624c9b054

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

Oh me gee that blue one was my childhood fan! Hadn’t thought about it in decades.

The color progression of the buttons is still so choice!

+1 for Columbia. I think I bought the original bugaboo 3-in-1 on my trip to the Antarctic Peninsula years ago. Granted, it was their summer in February but I did sweat wearing that thing!

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.
