Union made in Wisconsin, too! I've loved mine.

Reply to I need recommendations for shoes by pinkjingle
Runner here, I've gone through Brooks, ASICS, NB, Mizuno, pretty much anything but Nike because their toeboxes do not work with my feet.
I've pretty much settled on ASICS and Mizunos, I've done a few marathons in various model years of Wave Riders and can't complain.
I'd also look into Danskos - they're more of the "long wearing work shoe" kind of use, RNs swear by 'em.

Reply to [Request] Portable Transistor Radio by sheerfire96
Sangean has a line of portable AM/FM radios that are the same footprint as the old '50s ones. They've been in the radio biz a long time.

I bought my Frieling French press from there, pretty sure Chemex also sells on there via FBA.

These do act like a larger heatsink than glass ones, so it's not necessarily a bad idea to preheat them before adding coffee. It's really only something you have to worry about with very light roasts that take pretty high slurry temps to brew properly.
The effect is a lot more noticeable with plastic vs. ceramic V60 pourovers.

I really like my Frieling, seems like a similar design.

The important part about 3-2-1 is that the 1 is not in the same physical location, and ideally not the same format, as the other two.

The problem with Sonicares - at least the one that I bought 3 years ago - was the battery was non-replaceable.
Oral B makes one that takes rechargeable AAs.

Reply to LPT: Running out of Google Drive/Gmail space? Use “older_than:6y” in the search bar and then mass delete. Use “larger:10m” to find every email larger than 10mb and then mass delete. by R961ROP
My Google Drive is my cloud backup for my archive, so that would sort of defeat that purpose.
I have a Workspace account through my former school, so I'm waiting to see what's going to happen with that. Sort of thinking about using a family member for an off-site backup, it won't be real time but most of the stuff doesn't change that much other than photo projects. My array currently is a little under 8TB, so Google One isn't going to be the answer.

I've just carried a Swiss Army Knife for years. I don't go into courthouses or airports enough for it to really be an encumbrance.

One time I was working for an A/V contractor. We had a bunch of our techs pack up all their tools and a bunch of the product to be installed in a wooden crate, to have it shipped via truck to the site.
When they got there, they realized they'd not brought any drills with them to unscrew the crate.
Not the brightest bunch.

Yep, and if you somehow manage to survive and end up in a bad state, your next of kin have some planning on what to do - when my dad had a stroke in 2019, the first thing I did was look at his advance directive to find out what I could tell his care team about his wishes.

That's something they never mention, that all these wealth-brags generally attract a bunch of spam, bots, or flat-out scams...

Isn't this only if you have W2 income, i.e., can do a 1040EZ?
I tried this with HSA income (so a 1099-SA) and was told I needed to use a paid service. Ditto for other schedules (I have a timeshare, so that counts as rental income).

Just bought a washer/dryer pair from HD and couldn't be happier.
Have also bought Husky-branded sockets and combo wrenches in various sizes, sure, they're not as good as Snap-On or Wright, but if you need a particular socket to do a job, they work just fine. And HD carries Estwing hammers, made in the US and some of the best hammers you can buy.
Not sure where this is coming from.

The advantage with liquor boxes is that they're often smaller, and don't turn into 75lb behemoths like the 20" cube moving boxes can.
