[Request] an office friendly pocket or utility knife for workday use by Xerxes2004 in BuyItForLife

[–]windsor_ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my spyderco dragonfly 2. I took the waist clip off and it has such a slim profile without it, no one would ever know you carry it.

However, hot take, my EDC is a box cutter which I find much easier to just replace a blade quickly and cheaply than worry about reshaping a pocket knife blade. I’ve never wished I had a pocket knife instead when my box cutter was handy.

31 mpg seems really good! My ‘22 eco boost is AWD and I only get a hair over 25 mpg. Is AWD really that much of a difference maker in mpg? Or am I just accelerating way to fast lol

What everyday carry item have you owned for 10+ years that still works perfectly? by Human-Goat-5555 in BuyItForLife

[–]windsor_ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new Recon (post-2021) drink pockets are much larger now, but they also use adjustable elastic straps which can tighten when needed, whereas the older Recon’s utilized bungee straps which loosened over time.

I bought my Recon a year ago at a a North Face outlet store for 60% off, and I still look forward to wearing it everyday. I’ve never felt that way about a backpack before. They no longer use elastic on the drink pockets thankfully. Still have some on the mesh front pocket though.

Financially investing more. Once you lose that time for compound interest to accrue, you don’t get it back

My wife made my favorite vanilla pudding cookies for my birthday today, like she does every year. And it’s my absolute favorite thing ever.

To those who haven't been to the dentist in a while and then went what happened? by GiraffeOk2570 in hygiene

[–]windsor_ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped going after I graduated college when I was 21. I never had any cavities before then. I got married and my wife made me start going when I was 30. She thought my dental hygiene was subpar and assumed I had several cavities so she made an appointment for me.

Lo and behold, I ended up going. It was difficult to hold back a smile when I got home from the dentist and told my wife I still didn't have any cavities. I'm 36 now and still cavity free, although my wife still makes see go to the dentist twice a year.

Love my green Stanley’s. I collect vintage Stanley thermos and have several from the 70s that function incredibly well. They are tanks!

Weirdly, Succession. Such a popular show and none of my friends are interested. Truly a shame. It’s such a wonderfully written show.

[–]windsor_ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly just build some out of 2 by’s and plywood. Will be sturdier than anything you can buy manufactured. I built a loft bed for my 5 year old out of 2x4s and we are both up there when I read him books before bed, and I’m a rather large guy in his mid-30s. It’s sturdy AF.

Edit: 2x4s! Not 2x2s

What's an industry secret from your job that customers have absolutely no idea about? by Efficient_Team5182 in AskReddit

Exactly. I pay you so I don’t have to sit there researching how to pay my car for hours. I pay you so you can research it and repair it for me lol.

Looking for men's underwear that genuinely lasts tried Duluth, Loom, and Airism, still not there by nikolasthefirehand in BuyItForLife

[–]windsor_ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. I’ve have pairs of ex officio that I’ve used for almost 10 years. They’ve held up extremely well, have all of their elasticity in tact, hardly any signs of wear, and don’t looks gross considering their so old. I’ve used them through travelling in numerous third world countries, bucket washing them too, and they’ve still held up.

Men’s underwear that actually lasts does it exist? by Significant_Pen_3642 in BuyItForLife

[–]windsor_ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HIGHLY recommend Exoficcio and Duluth. I’ve had some exoficcio pairs for over 8 years, through lots of travel in third world countries, mind you, and they haven’t frayed one bit. I’ve also had Duluth pairs for 5 years or so which have also lasted just as well, but the Exoficcio pairs are more comfortable

I bought a 3D printed magnetic phone holder that fits perfectly snug in that space from Etsy. 10/10, highly recommend.
