It's so much dumber than you think: Black & Decker's bread was buttered by small appliances for a long while. They couldn't get traction in the professional and prosumer tool market because of the perception that they make weak stuff. Their tools were actually as good or better than others on the market, but manly construction men didn't want their tools sharing the brand of coffee makers and wouldn't buy B&D tools. So in the 90s, B&D dusted off the DeWalt brand -- which they acquired decades earlier -- and slapped it on a range of black & yellow power tools. There was a "Oh yeah, DeWalt, they make good stuff" brand memory that persisted in the trades, so they embraced it. It apparently didn't matter that DeWalt originally made radial arm saws and had nothing to do with the range of tools they started making now. Thus a brand is (re)born and immediately takes over a massive chunk of the market, despite being fundamentally no different than B&D's old pro/prosumer offerings.

We used to always get "soup-y" pizza because they used the wrong mushroom. They contain moisture and lead to damp, swampy pizzas when baked. Use the right mushrooms, amanita muscaria.

Chiming in to say you sold me on this absolute unit of a counter appliance. Chucked my lovely Sunbeam toaster, turns out I've been making bad toast for a decade. Stoked to try out air frying cauliflower "wings" for me and my partner.

A few months ago I bought a couple of these drinkware sets: Duralex Made In France Picardie Tumbler Set of 6, 17.62 oz I was mildly unhappy because the 12oz glasses were a bit small and the 18oz glasses were a bit large. But I bought them because I was tired of my Ikea and Walmart glasses chipping and breaking as I used them. Well tonight I was clumsy and I knocked one of these glasses into the floor and it... just rolled away for a moment. No damage, no glass shards. I'm pretty pleased with these glasses after all.

Finally settled on my place in Melbourne. Eat your heart out three olives Entrance/atrium with restaurants and offices on the first three floors  Rooftop patio  Gym, sauna, steam room, yoga studio, two outdoor hot tubs  Multiple lounge rooms  Lobby  My actual unit is pretty small with no view but at least they threw in one way blinds. This is the living room

Genuinely curious and not casting shade, do people really find hotel stuff like communal hot tubs and lounge rooms appealing? I assume you have to pay some kind of service charge to keep all that stuff from becoming grim af and I can't envisage myself just...hanging out in some lounge when my actual living room is seconds away. A gym is a gym, but so much of that other stuff feels like advertising fluff that costs me money and robs square footage from my actual home. Maybe you gotta be less misanthropic to get value from these things.

My sister used to live in an apartment complex that had similar amenities and they have their purposes. The lounge rooms came in handy when we had to host a wake after our mom died 3 years ago, and considering the amount of people that attended it was great as there was no way we were going to fit the guest into her place. My sister's place also had a private movie theater that could be reserved & used to watch stuff on a legit projection screen. That was pretty neat.

My last apartment complex had a private pool, hot tub and small gym. It was pretty nice because the community age was fairly young and I worked weird hours so I had everything to myself at 11pm when I'd get home from work. It technically also had a lounge and TV area but it comingled where the staff would do their admin work. Hardly a chill place to hang.

This is what confuses me about shared spaces in apartment buildings. With shared gyms, theres at least other equipment for you to use. A shared lounge is the equipment. What do you do when someone else is using it?

A gym is a gym, but so much of that other stuff feels like advertising fluff that costs me money and robs square footage from my actual home. I know from my experience, having moved into a brand new building once it finished construction - Gym, great... other than people hogging equipment or being generally obnoxious about gym etiquette or not cleaning after themselves - Pool / hot tub , turn into cess pools. At all times you can expect some part of the pool or hot tub or steam room to be closed for 'maintenance' or cleaning. It's a lot of younger people in my building and they treat it like garbage. - Common rooms, library etc , generally empty with the occasional person trying to study or do work - Lobby, looks great for about a week until the first person rams a shopping cart into the wall or something else destructive. Then the building corp gives up trying to constantly spend money on repairs and upkeep since the monthly fee's dont keep up with the costs. After 2-3 years it's just another slightly nice looking lobby with one flickering bulb that never gets changed - Oh and for some reason we have 5 elevators but at any time at least 3 are sitting idle or on the top floors or penthouse, even with a queue of 10 people waiting for an elevator, i've had to take the stairs before because it was such a long wait for the 1 running elevator Content:  It's on back order and not supposed to arrive until end of Feb, but i just got a message it may be in for shipping tomorrow! Now I can become the hermit I was destined to be

This is in South Yarra/Forrest Hill and is walkable to the Open if it's not 47 degrees (which it sometimes is). Nice pickup by the way, one of the better buildings in the area besides Lucia IMO.

Not making GBS threads, but even cheap knives last decades if you maintain them. I bought a sharpener so my knives are really sharp:  Last summer I bought a vice and built a forge, so eventually I'll make my own kitchen knives. I have a bread knife that lost it's handle, making new one in wood soon.
