I tried to find an electric shaver that plugs into the wall two years back. I gave up and got one that takes AA batteries (rechargeable ones may be expensive but still cheaper per use than proprietary bullshit)

My oven is a piece of shit that has unreliable temperature control and manages to have hot spots even with the fan on. I bought it new and I don’t think it will die any time soon. Joke is I paid a lot more than for my previous oven and it’s the worst piece of shit I’ve ever had, a miniature countertop oven I had way back that was old as balls gave more consistent results.

Magnets are brilliant. I had to go really high up the range for mine to have a motor that opens the door at the end of each cycle. It has good energy ratings too but I’m not sure the extra cost will be worth it in its lifetime because the “eco” cycle is like the cheating on the homologation run of cars: it uses so little power and heat nothing gets clean enough if it’s full.

I think a straight razor would only be cheaper at scale, if you shave half the town in one go every few days. They’re fun but they’re obsolete for a reason: time isn’t free and the upkeep is so much work!

How do you deal with the contorsions needed to shave on the side your good hand doesn’t flex well towards? I have an actual straight razor that I seldom use because it works really well and I don’t usually cut myself, but it’s really annoying to get everywhere on myself with it. I don’t trust using my other hand whereas with a safety razor if I need to I can without peeling half my face off.

In my opinion you have to be used to meat to enjoy it. Cheese too to an extent (excites some of the same neuro receptors as opiates…). I don’t think tofu is an acquired taste though, it’s very bland and neutral and you can make it taste however you like.

Cooked pressed cheeses like Sbrinz or Parmesan have no lactose. It’s livable to only go for those except on a few occasions with the help of lactase pills.

The Swedish authorities have been known to mess with the reproductive rights of minorities, didn’t Denmark also meddle in extremely unethical bullshit? Is your comment an obvious reference I’m missing?

If you’re coding with them you can already try small ones, unless you need bigger than A4 size for each it isn’t insanely expensive.

Most packaging is stackable open or closed or both because it has to be efficient at one point. There are still dozens of sizes and standards for cylindrical steel cans though, very annoying when you have a lot of different ones and some are imported, so they’re almost exactly the same size as some of your local ones but won’t stack because the lips are the wrong size.

And they keep a fresh supply of organs for the waiting lists.

Fuel turned to varnish and is only good for smelling bad and being a pollutant.

Missed opportunity to recreate the Nintendo DS layout but bigger and absurd.

A couple (as in male and female) lived next to a bus stop I had to use for a while, I had to fight the male off a few times, my goal was never to hurt it, a few swings with a heavy bag filled with books and it wouldn’t insist. I don’t know if it’s bullying but I didn’t see it as gratuitous violence, I also wouldn’t welcome large animals in my home…

You can. It’s illegal in your country. Just like breaking down your door without a warrant.

Some places will fine you even if you can demonstrably still drive perfectly well even to do complicated maneuvers, because if the law says you have to be driving in a good position to keep in perfect control of your vehicle at all times it means cops can fine you for anything.

Aren’t the impacts painful? I’ve used small hammers that were all steel and they weren’t there for violence unless you like waking up the tendinitis demon.

French fair trade brand with a lot of choice: Éthiquable

Not sure if they export much. The prices in France are reasonable considering cocoa prices make even junk chocolate quite expensive.

Try adding a zero or two to that estimate. If you end up killing people without insurance your life’s over, with insurance if you weren’t in the wrong you’re mostly fine.
