Pffft, worship? No, I just send them money when they tell me how sad it is they don't own a mega-yaht yet.

Not if they have to do any simulations / CAD / coding they won't.

2 in 1 laptops are pretty weak in general and are for little more than taking notes.

Leather wallets in general are pretty BIFL.

Ah fair enough, I actually have some cheap "chinesium" tools (think $20 for a big set) I keep as spare in my trunk and they work for that purpose where they are just basic tools for if something goes wrong, but they aren't being used night and day in a shop.

I know those aren't going to compare to any decent brand, but that doesn't bother me for as rarely as they see use.

For more normal use I have a smattering of whatever I could find that was decent.

There is testing done on such things, they just aren't scientific-peer-reviewed studies... which isn't as much of a step down as it may sound like (or necessarily at all for that matter).

Myth busters was popular and widely considered a good source of testing things... but they actually fell into the same boat of not being I'm the format of scientific-peer-reviewed studies.

Anyway though... on the topic of Snap-On, testing, and circle-jerking, the general consensus of those that test multiple different brands against each other is typically that on average Snap-On is only slightly better than many brands of "average" grade tools... but those tools tend to be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than them, and so snap-on tools are just generally not a good value.

If you want to determine the level of allergens you will probably need to make sure your vacuum's interior is 100% clean (without using chemicals), and then vacuum the mattress and the mattress ONLY.

Send off the "dirt" contents off to a lab that deals with that and then take the total amount of the allergens they report to you and divide it by the square feet of your mattress for an allergen concentration.

I don't know why you would want to do this though... and it will be costly.

Best case scenarios tend to assume that:

A) the thermos is full of the heated liquid (no void space, water has a higher specific heat than air)

B) the thermos is never opened (heat rapidly escapes during this time)

C) The thermos itself is preheated (to stop it from sapping any heat from the liquid)

D) it is left in a room temperature room (so no throwing it out in the snow).

It may have been a joke, but keep in mind tone can't be heard (I noticed you edited in a /s now so that helps) on the internet and since you posted a BIFL fail in the BIFL sub many people would likely assume you didn't know of its existence.

A sub already exists for this is probably why you are getting comments for this.

Look up the BIFL Fails sub.

Out of curiosity, why is leather not allowed at your job?

I can't think of a safety reason off the top of my head other than it won't break free easily if snagged, but no belts that aren't specifically built to do so will either.
