Glottis posted:what's the selling point? Are they especially comfortable or durable or something? That's a lot of money for that type of footwear. They are super comfy and warm and never sweaty. I probably wouldn't have used them enough to justify them pre-pandemic, but since I'm home all the time now they're my everyday shoe now.

As a recent first time owner of crocs, they are great for quick out of the house shoes (aka taking garbage out, mowing, etc.) and you can just hose them off which is also great.

For what it's worth when we had a kid and shortly thereafter the pandemic started, I became a housedad 2 and then 5 days a week, so it took no time at all to destroy my old $30 slippers. I replaced them with about $60 Timberlands which needed insoles to be cushy enough but have otherwise held up for over a year now without much signs of wear. No idea how long they'll last though so I'm definitely bookmarking those glerups for the future, thanks.

For real though, my all time favorite slipper has been a pair of crocs—great barefoot in the summer, and in the winter, pair with a pair of socks! The rubber traps heat while the holes let out moisture, and the socks keep the rubber from getting wet. For context I bought a couple of books:

I ordered some low level Hanes brand slippers because I feel like nice ones will still get slimy and disintegrate from foot stuff anyway so why buy really nice things that are still disposable. "Just wear socks with them?" Putting on socks defeats the whole purpose of me wanting slippers! If I wanted to do that on days off, I wouldn't need slippers!

Aramek posted:nice ones will still get slimy and disintegrate from foot stuff anyway Wash your dang feet son, come on. But that's the thing about Glerups: they're so durable that they're no longer a disposable good. Eventually they'll wear out, of course, but you're probably looking at two years or more of continuous use before they do. And for many people, they're just excellent slippers throughout that time. (I may be biased because I feel responsible for having given some goons the Glerups suggestion in the first place, but there are others in the $50-75 range which are apparently good.) It's really a "buy once, cry once" thing, kind of how it works for shoes and boots in general.

I bought a box of fancy British and European cheeses, with names of Comte AOC, Kaltbach Creamery, Berkswell and Wyfe of Bath (plus a free cheese for ordering three). Being delivered tomorrow.

Re: Knives. I finally bought a nice sharpener for our nice knives that I'm very happy with:  All of our knives are now fantastically, "watch-out" sharp. The initial sharpening took a while because I had neglected them for too long (and Kershaw stopped doing walk-in sharpening), but now I only run a slight hone + polish once a week for maintenance. It's seriously great to have razor-sharp knives all the time. Made some tabbouleh last night and there's a lot of fine cutting involved. It'd be a mess with bad knives.

TotalLossBrain posted:Re: Knives. Please don't ruin your knives with a pull through sharpener. Hone them to keep them sharp and if they need a touch up, find a place that does it for a couple bucks a pop - there are trucks that will come to your door in many cities, tents at farmers markets, etc.

They're sharp AF and they stay so. I fail to see how that's "ruining my knives"  it's also done at the correct angle one side at a time

I have one of those and like it too! It's not like a normal pull through sharpener that just krinkles the poo poo out of your knife edge, it's got grinding wheels and a honing wheel instead. Certainly not as good as learning to use a stone or paying for a professional sharpening service, but keeps my mediocre set of knives reasonably sharp.

Josh Lyman posted:I have an (Emeril Lagasse) All-Clad stainless frying pan and learned that you aren't meant to hold them in your fingers but to rotate your hand underneath and lift it with your palm. Also something about it being designed to be held with a towel for more professional/active cooks but I think that's nonsense. Metallic handles are so you can put your pan in an oven. Using a towel to hold them over fire is just a consequence of this choice of material since of course it will conduct heat more.

I bought a bunch of tolls between Annapolis and Boston, plus 3 tanks of gas. My boyfriend bought tickets to see Lettuce live in New Hampshire yesterday and I drove up to him. They played in Baltimore on Friday and I didn't know about it until Saturday, so an impromptu tiny weekend together was had. What an amazing show, I hope I can see them again.

I wore a hole in one of mine after 4 or 5 years (I wear them around the house all day without shoes), and they let me pick out a new pair real easily.
