Buy a whole set of cast iron cookware. Either that or all clad.

Macs will last the longest so you might also want to explore educational discount since you’re taking classes.
Another option is to go windows by looking for a decently spec’d laptop and just looking for deals on it on New Egg. I’ve been shocked at how low prices go sometimes when a vendor receives a batch they want to unload.
My kids are have been using thinkpad x1 carbon gen 1 for 5 years now. They were $2500 in 2014 when released and I bought 3 of them in 2017 for $267 each. They’re super svelte and pretty durable. 1 of the 3 died last year tho…

The Ego, you mean obviously. Honda has a monster throw.
That’s a pity. I was hoping they’d have improved more the way EV cars have.
Just to confirm, we’re talking about the 2 stage Ego snowblower, right? That have a single stage which is seriously weak; it was their first try and it really didn’t do much.
Edit: I have an Aries 28” that I’ve had for 6 years. I’ve had to replace belts and obviously change oil but it has worked relatively well. I have been eyeing going electric with my mower and snowblower. Mowers are about there but super pricey and snowblowers - well, I’m not sure about them.
If I were buying a snowblower knowing what I know now, I’d buy a Honda over an Ariens. They just last forever - as close to BIFL as you can get.

Honda is the best - reliable and durable, but pricey.
Some of the electric ones have improved so if you want simplicity and totally low maintenance, maybe look at an EGO’s 2 stage blower. They share batteries with their lawn mowers so you can use the same batteries year round.

I have found some insulated shirts and sweaters that I really like at LL Bean. Not sure how dressy you want to be but it’s definitely not as formal as a cardigan with dress shirt. I could wear my llbean stuff with colleagues with whom I’m friends but not with executives for sure.

Expensive? Yes.
Overpriced? I don’t think so.
These are some of the best made leather bags in the market. They’re beautiful, durable, and warrantied for 100 years. You can’t really lose by purchasing a bag like that. It’s like buying proper kitchen cutlery, all-clad pots and pans (or cast iron), or other well crafted products. You’re buying superior quality.

Hmm. Thanks but no thanks.

Saddleback leather. All their goods have a 100 year warranty which is why their slogan is “they’ll fight over it when you’re dead”
