I had to replace my bowl because my kids used metal spoons on it so much the coating was coming off. Annoying but great that I could buy a part for a 12 yo machine.
My single annoyance is the non replaceable battery. It lasted a decade, but I had to desolder it from the board to replace it. I ended up replacing the battery with a battery holder I got off ebay, so in several years when I have to replace it again I won’t have to solder anything.
I’ve had my blendtec for like 12 years. It’s got a counter on it for some unknown reason. I just made my morning protein shake. I’m at 5473 uses. My previous blender was an oster that lasted a few years and didn’t work well. I’d previously broken cheap blenders after a few uses. If you use it for more than just mixing up simple things, the vitamix and blentec are worth it. Literally the only reason I picked blendtec is because it fit under my counter. The vitamix was too tall.
Just wear them. The leather softens from use. If they’re dry and stiff, put some leather conditioner on the underside. Maybe you have them too tight. And maybe they’re just not for you.

The stock market should not exist. Investing in companies is fine, but we shouldn’t be able to buy our sell investment shares like a commodity.
All subsidies should not exist. They only alter the supply/demand in unnecessary and damaging ways. This must come with ending commodities trading like stock market investing.
There’s little scenes that cause dopamine hits but the overall story is garbage.
Non faith based charities are still religious too. We just don’t call their dogma “religion”. But that’s what it is.
I don’t understand how you guys can use blades for so long. That’s 1 blade per month. I tried about 20 brands. Feather was the best for me. I get 2 or 3 shaves. That’s it. All other brands i got 1 shave. I blew through 50 blades (bought in May) in the last 6 months. By the 3rd shave I’m getting nicks from dull spots.
TIL you do NOT call a piece of meat on a bun a sandwich in AU/NZ… That’s called a burger. I argue a burger, regardless of its own definition, is still a sandwich.
The average number of legs per human is less than 2.
Yep. In my area, almost all the weekend warriors I see have these very fancy expensive bikes and the dudes have HUGE ass bellies like they’re pregnant with a baby cyclist.
Let’s not forget those that bring a cup of water and just rinse. shudder
Ha ha Etymology is fascinating. English is a wild language.
Half of all people in the world squish their shit tangling on their sphincter between their ass cheeks before they wipe?
TIL Amazon can prevent people from getting a different job.
USA is the trend setter of the world when it comes to selling garbage from China at seemingly low prices around any holiday or special event.
But black Friday is a little generic… The end of November is approximately when most retail businesses go from “red” to “black” financially… That is the financially black day is the first day of the year when every sale from that point is 100% profit… All debts and liabilities for the year are covered.
Thru is a word only in the sense that kleen, kwik, kut, tuff, chik, nite, lite, tho, etc are words. It’s called cacography or eye dialect and is the result of marketing and advertising agencies not being able to copyright common phrases. When the terms enter colloquial language, they’re still used but not copyrighted as the incorrect spelling still draws your attention.
US allows you to have a personal backup copy.
30C/86F with humidity is too hot for an apartment. I agree with those ACORN people. It makes sense to have an upper limit too.
I hear you on the memory foam but hear me out. I want something firm but still very comfortable that won’t hurt from hardness in the morning. I like some support but not a ton and I hate sinking into a mattress like foam.
My old mattress crapped out about 5 years ago. I bought and returned several mattresses until I settled on the following. I have a fairly cheap firm mattress from a local store. Firm are normally cheaper by the way. I think it was 650 for a king. Then I bought a really nice 3" closed cell foam topper for $200. I expected it to only last a few years, but it’s still great. At least another couple years left. But the mattress is still like new because there’s zero cushion on it.
Every mattress will wear. But it’s primarily the cushion and weak springs that wear. So BFL is not reasonable but you can extend the life in certain circumstances. Since firm mattresses have hard springs and no cushion, they’ll last a lot longer. The topper is essentially the only real wear item. Since they come in different materials and thicknesses, you can dial in your preference easily.
