Well, if COVID taught us anything it’s that people will remain calm, listen to the science, and act with the good of everyone in mind.

Lolol.

Not all detergents do it.

I had a piece of Corelle break a few years ago. It absolutely SHATTERED into a million sharp shards. It was so hard to clean up, and I got rid of the rest that I had around because it was such a pain.

I always used to struggle with this advice- it would still take a long time and a lot of shaking things around. It was a pain in the ass.

Then someone recommended microwaving the alcohol for about 30 seconds. I started doing that and it’s an absolute game changer.

I got an REI branded backpack decades ago. After about 15 years, it was starting to show some wear. I happened to have the receipt still, and I took it in and since they didn’t carry the same model anymore the just refunded the full purchase price.

Idk what a backpack by REI goes for these days, but that impressed the shit out of me. (Note: they would have had fewer options if I hadn’t kept my receipt.)

Otherwise, I picked this up about 4 years ago and it’s still in like new condition, and I use it daily. I love it for the amount of space, and the laptop pocket opens from the back of the bag without having to open the main compartments. (This also means I feel safe keeping snacks in my bag bc the laptop pocket is completely separate and never gets crumbs in it, even if something spills in my bag.)

I have this one. Amazon says I bought it in early 2018, and it still works great.

It's a *little* low on pressure, but that could also just be the plumbing in my home.
