This little Philps epilator was a gift some 35+ years ago and has been used as the only hair removal tool since. (Not sure if vinted yet). The color was as is - its not white plastic that slowly turned tusk.
PS: the numan speakers by no mean belong to this sub.
Two years ago, I upgraded my outdoor patio area. And thought it would be nice to get garden hoses that blended in. I have flexzilla air hoses and really like them. So I bought these flexzilla Colors garden hoses. They aren’t cheap, and rival the cost of other premium hoses.
In the first season they became sticky. I took goo gone and painstakingly cleaned the sticky mess off of them. That lasted for a few weeks. These are so sticky I can’t pull them across my lawn. When I coil them up they cannot be pulled apart without making a huge mess. My wife refuses to use them because they make your hands sticky. And it gets on your clothes etc.
Flexzilla needs to do something about this product, this is absolute garbage…
I know my wife has been wishing for a coffee machine for a while, and with her birthday coming up, I want to buy her one as a present. I have no idea about coffee, as I don't drink it, so please help me out. What I know:
- she drinks one cup per day in the morning
- she likes it fairly strong with a little bit of cold milk
- she would appreciate it if the machine is good looking / has good design. Retro or colorful would be great.
- a smaller machine would be best, but doesn't have to be portable
- ease of use and maintaince is preferable
If there are essential questions I could subtly ask her that would help with the decision, please let me know those as well. Thanks!
Edit: up until now she is making herself turkish coffee
Edit 2: she is buying ground coffee
Looking to buy a new fire pit as our old one rusted though. Our backyard does not have the area to DIY one in the grass and the only area we do have is a big concrete slab.
I have been looking online and have kinda narrowed it down to Evergreen Patio, Ohio Flame, or Edge Right. Anyone have experience with more than one of those? Kinda leaning towards the Edge Right being $100 less.
I'm currently looking for shoes, belts, pants, shirts, etc that are simple (no crazy designs) that are of high quality (i.e, cotton, leather, etc) that can last a long time. Price does not matter because it will pay for itself in the long run. Are there any brands specifically with this model or thought in mind?
Check out "Worse on Purpose" (link below), a website that tracks brands that got worse on purpose — and the ones that didn't. If you want to know if your favorite BIFL brand has been bought by private-equity and ruined, here's how you can tell:

Is Osprey a good choice for college? I’m thinking about Osprey and North Face because they're being recommended a lot. Are there options that you love? I will be biking to and from campus daily, looks decent and Big in size to handle alot of school supplies like
If you have any Suggestions please let me know
Seems like locally available grill baskets are just nickel/chrome plated iron, and have to be thrown away in a year of so due to rusting.
Are there any brand that makes actual stainless (rust-resistant) grill baskets?
Also, I need it available in EU...
Thanks!
I am looking to upgrade my pool/beach towels, and I cannot decide between the Dock & Bay brand and the Sand Cloud brand. If you have experience with either (or both), let me know!
Also, sorry if this has been discussed before. I tried to look through past Reddit posts to find a comparison on these two towels brand, and I cannot find one.
moving and setting up a new room, bought a nice king mattress and looking now for sheets to go with it. we're thinking one set of peracle and one set of linen. any recommendations for brands for each of these? after some research been looking at:

-boll and branch
-company store (looks like people dont like in recent yeasr)

In the market for some furniture for our lanai/patio in South Carolina. Really couldn’t find anything current in the subs so looking for experiences with poly furniture in the last couple of years. I’ve noticed Polywood is not always getting the love it used to, so interested in hearing in all other brands as well. We don’t mind paying for quality and lifetime warranty.
hello, I need some good t-shirts (F). what brands do you recommend is US?
Secondhand ekornes advertised I cant quite determine if this is flaking vinyl or just cracked leather from the photos. Dont want to drive out if its not real leather. What say you?
I was wondering if there are universal screwdriver heads, for example, if I need new types of heads rather than buying a kit and a whole new screwdriver with the heads I can just buy the heads. I can go and buy 150 in 1 etc. kits but they still miss the point most of the time, for example with the screws on my small drone, they are tiny and none of the kits would cover them.
Hey all! I made a post similar to this in r/backpacks to no avail. I'm currently looking for a good (but not terribly expensive) backpack for University/College. I've done my research, and by research I mean looking up 'Backpack name + reddit' and going on r/BuyItForLife and typing the word backpack. I only have two sets of criteria I want my ideal backpack to have outside of the cost.
I currently own a TNF Jester (for roughly 8 months) and my experience with it has been surprisingly subpar. The backpack is effectively always bent, which means my notebooks are bent as well, and it has resulted in two notebooks breaking.
I'm mainly looking for a backpack that has good water resistance, as it rains a lot where I live, even during summer time. I also want it to have a 17 inch laptop sleeve for convenience. The standard from what I see is 15 inches but I have a quite thick laptop (studying CS), and my TNF Jester's 15 inch sleeve doesn't do anything.
I've done a bit of research and have come across three backpacks I'm looking at purchasing, though I'd appreciate any recommendations or words of advice against or towards one of my three possible picks. I'm looking to spend AT MOST $150 USD.
I found the Carhartt 35L Triple-Compartment Backpack at $130 USD and it meets both of my ideal choices! It has a 17-inch sleeve for my laptop and seems to have water resistance. I did read a reddit post from someone who got a 28L backpack from them and had a less than stellar time with it, stating that much of the price came from the brand and not the materials.
The SwissGear 1900 Backpack at $99 USD and meets one of the two criteria. It has the 17-inch sleeve but no water resistance, with reviews pointing out how light rain quickly results with the internals of the backpack getting wet, which is NOT what I'm looking for.
Lastly I found the Patagonia Refugio Daypack 26L/30L at $135 USD and meets one of the two criteria. It doesn't have the 17-inch sleeve but DOES have water resistance. Not much else to say here other than I like the colorways.
I've checked Osprey but they seem like the same price as Patagonia (if not more expensive) and meeting the same criteria as the Refugio. Tom Binh does have some backpacks with 16-inch sleeves but the price is far too high for me. I'm also interested in an Aer backpack but reviews either alternate between saying its great or claiming the opposite, and again, the prices are a bit too high for me.
If anyone has any suggestions or comments regarding these I highly appreciate them :)
The little thing’s old (1950s) and a tad rough around the edges, gets a bit temperamental to get going, but once she’s going, she just doesn’t quit and still works like a charm! Happy 4th!
That's the result within 3 days, I have 3 of them, 2 placed at the corners of the garden, 1 next to the bins, 3 of them cost a few bucks, use eggs or meat/fish with blood as the trap, it is better than the one they sell.
Honestly that's the best trap I ever had, as soon as I see flies in my living room I know the traps are full, I really wish they made a 2L model so I don't have to clean it every week.
Can anyone recommend a durable day pack suitable for airplane carryon and hikes? I saw the earlier posts about InCase but I want something with more secure interior pockets for valuables and several easily accessible compartments. The last pack I bought ripped out at the seams after several years. Thank you.
Couldn’t believe no one had scooped it up, AND it had been marked down from $25 to $20
Is there a laptop in market now that doesn't break/cost more to repair than it's worth after 2 years? ThinkPad? MacBook? or Dell? I'm totally lost lol. My major is accounting and I'm looking for something somewhat something light and easy to use! My budget can be up to $1200, preferably under $1k but I'll be trying to pay if you say I should do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
