Yeah I just bought my Mom a set of Peugeot mills for Christmas. For a lot more than $2.

Reply to comment by 604col in LE CREUSET stockpot - not really BIFL by crysardo
Ultimately, I paid the price of the pot ($120) +$41. I’ve purchased many le creuset items for the peace of mind of a warranty, but if the warranty replacement process is going to cost money out of pocket then investing in the stockpots are waste of money. I’ll sell my replacement, and buy cheaper pots and replace those more often. I’d love a better option, I saw some mention going with all-clad as a better BIFL option.
I am not including other le creuset items in this logic, I’m speaking specifically to the stockpots.

One mill for black pepper and one for white pepper. 🤷♂️

Reply to Mid 70's Citizen watch my dad gave me about a decade ago. Runs just as good as new with just a new batteries. by bannedandfurious
Think I had this watch as a kid in the 70’s. This image triggered a fear response from getting my arm hairs plucked out by the band so I think it must be true

I scored the same deal a few years back, a pair of the Peugeot clear grinders. Put some peppercorns in them, and I can't get them to work at all. They look brand new, but no matter how tight or loose I set them they won't actually grind anything. Drives me nuts, my cheap little grinder I've been using for years works great with the same fill.

The salt grinder generally is a different mechanical design than the pepper, specifically for salt.

I like to have one grinder that is just regular pepper and a second that also has chilies and other spices in it.

That'd be me.
I have my reasons, please don't ask.

Thank you for saving me from the back breaking work of grinding salt.

It’s just unnecessary work, wear and tear on the grinder. If you want to grind salt to have a matched pair, great. Im just letting anyone who doesn’t know that you don’t have to grind salt yourself.

If it doesn't matter, then why break up the set? Who needs two pepper mills and a salt shaker that doesn't match?

Salt does not matter if it’s ground fresh, if you want save one from the unnecessary wear and tear.

Reply to comment by superduper1022 in Office chairs for people who can't stop sitting on their feet. by smegdawg
Seconding this! I’m also a very fidgety sitter, but it’s actually because most desks and tables are just a tiny bit too high for me (and I’m the exact average height for my demographics, go figure). I only realized this after I sat at a lower-than-average desk for the first time, and after a full work day, I thought “huh, that’s weird, I’m much less sore than usual.”
After consulting a few desk height calculators online, I’m currently shopping around for a table or desk that will go low enough, and it’s surprisingly difficult. This probably won’t help OP on their BIFL quest, but the best option I’ve found (that I can afford) is from Ikea.
OP, try looking up some desk height calculators, and use that to guide your search. If your desk is not a good height for you, then you’ll keep putting undue strain on any chair you buy, in a subconscious attempt to get comfortable.

Most companies make you pay shipping costs for warranty claims. $41 is pretty cheap for a brand new Le Creuset!

Bingo! The salt grinder mechanism is ceramic, the pepper one is some type of metal, probably SS.
