How about:

Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

She is listed as a writer for pretty much all her songs

I don’t know anything about anything in this Taylor Swift conversation but Elvis was listed as a writer on all of his songs but wrote none of them. It was a requirement of his management that if he performed it, he got a writing credit.

I thought shocked and surprised were synonyms.

Deodorant is blue, deodorant + antiperspirant is white in the store. It’s also all aluminum free now which sucks. I miss the aluminum deodorant gel.

I don’t do that. I only thaw and grind enough for about a month’s consumption at a time. I got ~6 pounds of coffee for Christmas and only have a cup a day usually.

I was just providing my process because it seems, unintentionally, well designed to avoid condensation.

Good to know! Thanks! I vacuum seal what I can’t get in jars and let it all thaw freezer > fridge > ground.

I use old mason jars to store my whole bean coffee in the freezer until I’m ready to grind and use it.

A coffee aficionado can probably chime in on why this is bad, but uts the best use I’ve found for the jars.

Most people could cheap out on tools and they’d still last.

I think this is a great one. I learned growing up that if you need a tool for a project buy the cheap one. Then if you use it enough to break it, buy a more expensive one next.

Tool trial by combat, so to speak.

I’m maybe not who you’re looking to hear from but I can provide a patient perspective.

I never refused my medications but there was a point where I was rude, mean and difficult. For me it was a combination of things. I was tired of being sick, tired of the hospital and wanted to leave but wasn’t well enough, struggling with loss of control and scared.

I did snap out of it and made a point to apologize to the staff I had mistreated. Ultimately it was a negative expression of everything I was feeling because I didn’t know how to process and handle it appropriately.

Hey @doctordevice and I also have that cat tree! We should start a club because it seems popular with the humans and the cats!

There are a large number of unscented aftershaves out there as well as other products options like an alum block.

When I’m finished shaving my routine is:

• alum block
• aftershave balm
• cologne

I have aftershaves and colognes that compliment each other or are the same scent for both. I also have an unscented balm for colognes I couldn’t find a good compliment to.

Scents I use are ones I like because I’m wearing it for me, not others.

I live in MN and every fall when we’re done in our yard I’ll turn off the water in the house for the lines that go to the outdoor faucets attached to the house.

Then I’ll open those faucets outside to let the water drain.

Inside the house on the water line itself is a bleeder valve I’ll open to help the line drain.

Once drained I close the drain valve and the bleeder valve and put an insulating cover on the spigot.

I get that everybody has their own preference but BIFL is more about quality of materials, durability, reputation of the company etc.

I’ve had wusthof handles break on me and they are a pain to replace.

How so? You just send it to Wusthof and they replace or repair it. Seems pretty BIFL

Another issue with wusthof is that the bolsters on their chef knives are way too large.

My Wusthof Ikons have no more bolster than my brothers Japanese set. I assume you’re talking about the Classic line of Wusthof?

You raise issues based on your preference but that doesn’t impact them being BIFL. They’re well made, hold an edge and Wusthof stands behind them 100%.

I dropped my utility knife once and it bent the tip. I shipped it to Wusthof and they took care of it, only cost me shipping. I also had a knife block that split, for that they wanted a picture, then they shipped me a replacement and asked me to destroy the old one. I used it in a campfire. Seems pretty BIFL to me.

Japanese knives are great if that’s your preference but that excludes a lot of other BIFL knives worth considering.

Wusthof in particular should be on the list as well as Global. In general kitchen knives are more forgiving in the BIFL category because a lot of it is just properly caring for what you have.

Yep, all the time and good things always come after.

My father told me many many years ago that I always had to learn lessons the hard way. What he meant was that I have to make the mistake to learn from it, and I thought it was profound.

Took a long time for me to learn that’s what life is. You try, fail, and try again. You learn from it and succeed, and in the end does it really count as a failure? All the good things in my life have come out of all the bad.

Just use ankle for Americans, it’s less offensive to them and most of them are about three feet lower than a cunt anyways.

Layer 8 is the hardest to secure.

Isn’t NordVPN one of the ones that has sold customer data?

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
