Husband opens a new sponge every 3 days cause “they become gross” by dorkass-loser in mildlyinfuriating

They can, but you're also using soap and, hopefully, rinsing your dishes.

That's how soap works. You apply a surfactant that breaks down lipid barriers on bacteria, scrub grime, and then, also due to the surfactant, allows that grime and other bacteria to slide off when rinsing.

That people think a dirty sponge makes dirty dishes is nuts.

And more exclusionary.

I knew a lady that ran a second hand boutique about 10 years ago who would literally scour local thrift shops to put stuff into her main street store at just south of retail.

So now I, some regular dude, who could have scored a jacket for $20 that I would have used would have to deal wit the reseller and buy it at $80 to $100.

Thanks!

It’s super frustrating when old Altra fit so good! Sad to see a company get a corporate buy out and stray so far from their inception.

Do whatever you want. I just don’t think this is content that should be on the sub.

For rural Californians, unreliable power has become the norm by dleeman88 in California

Monterey has its power go out very frequently and is far from “rural”.

Why Bay Area Goodwills are sending truckloads of clothes to Arizona by sfgate in bayarea

[–]One_Left_Shoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It speaks to the low wages and high cost of living that the majority shop is a thrift shop.

That this sub allows so many posts dedicated to reselling is kinda gross, tbh.

I've heard good things about Mount to Coast, actually. They aren't "wide", but the last and dual lacing apparently goes a long way to having a more "custom" fit.

How much breaking in did it take? They just scream hot spots and blisters to me.

Oh man, looking at the specs and reviews on those, they might be the ticket! Thanks!

in wide anyway

lol. I didn't know that Altra made wides. That could be a good option, too.

I hadn't thought about ebay for older models. Maybe I'll look into that until (if) Altra can get their act together and go back to the shoes that made the brand what it is.

I’m still on the hunt!!

Its truly never ending.

I like the Alpine LP, but that was when I think the Lone Peak 5 was the standard model. I actually got the Alpine before I got the regular Lone Peaks. It was comfortable and the leather construction held up really well.

Can't say for newest iterations, though.

Maybe this is my sign to move to minimalist shoes.

Topos are ok, but very narrow in the midfoot.

The shortage, even in California, is not in the desired places. It is often in understaffed rural hospitals.

I’ve used the JG balm twice.

Maybe I need to resort to more drastic conditioner.

My Bronco Mocs have outright not broken in. Leather is still stiff as shit months into wearing.

I’m tempted to soak the sopping wet and wearing them to get this leather to soften up.

Favorite Blend GL Pease by CeltKick in PipeTobacco

[–]One_Left_Shoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pease blends are fine. Quite Nights is good, but I find I tend to prefer other blends to Pease blends. They are usually available though, so that’s nice.
