Barbour Jacket

Ive had my macbook air m1 for a year and its been absolutely awesome, battery life is great, but im not sure how long it would last considering the cost of repairing this thing.

On the other hand, Framework laptops are designed to be completely self-repairable. It's battery life and overall finish doesnt feel as quality, but it's sure as hell gonna last longer.

Agreed. I've had 1 pair of darn tough socks and I didn't care for the fit and feel. I could give some of their other styles a try, but I'm hooked on Fits, Swiftwick and Danners.

Smart lightbulbs are so useful and I will probably never be without them again. I bought a set of 4 Globe brand ones for ~$30 CAD and I use them in my bedroom and my chicken coop. The ones in the coop mimic daylight and brighten/dim with sunrise/sunset, while the ones in my bedroom are just set to a lower brightness when it is dark outside, and I can turn them on independently for even less intense light.

Yeah imo darn tough gets way too much praise relative to smart wool. Every single piece I’ve had from smart wool has outlasted my DT. Not that I don’t like DT also. I think it’s just the warranty that everyone is so drawn to lol.

The point of this sub used to be exactly that. Good products to buy for life. Now it’s just pictures of someone’s grandfather’s boots from West Germany. It’s useless.

I have some socks that are 20+ years old that came from Walmart. I wear them often and they keep kicking.

So Honda or toro 😛

Great suggestion thank you!

I set my smart bulb up so it gradually gets brighter, works like a charm! Especially in the winter.

It’s not perfect—“0%” is still pretty bright so sometimes it’s more abrupt than others but it’s been great.

So... Millennials who can't afford a house but can still possibly afford actually nice things...like a 2-500$ jacket that will last 20+ years instead of 2 washes? What a fucking yuppie. Don't y'all know if you just skip your avocado toast and occasional high end bifl product you can totally afford a $350,000 home in one year??

I have a Honda my father in law gave me. It is now at least 25 years old. Starts on first pull, doesn't burn oil, and runs strong. I ran a lawn service and used Toro. They also are bullet- proof but the Honda is new so that wins.

Are you the cast iron pan guy?

Sure. You know the type. The ones that have lived in apartments theirs whole lives and feel The need to compensate for their lack of masculinity by worshipping overpriced luxury goods.

For boutique shit like watches, okay.

Textiles are not BIFL unless it’s leather. No real advancements there. Are todays textiles better? Sure. Still not BIFL tho.

what exactly? modern? antique? deco? victorian? help me help you.

I joined a few months ago and it seems like about 50% of a posts are people who have had something for a week that will "hopefully last a lifetime"

This was my thought - someone should put a 1950's-1970s alarm clock on a meter, as well as a current cheapie alarm, and see how the energy draw compares.

My Teasmade does that, but also has a pot of tea ready when it does. Best £5 I've ever spent!

I hear you on that, but toasters aren’t solid state. They’re mechanical.

It’s hard to have planned obsolescence on solid state products. If they don’t fail in the first 3 months they’ll likely last for decades.

You're very welcome! We got ours a few years ago, and they've held up really well.

I’m with ya my guy but don’t underestimate them Hondas 😂
