Reply to Looking for a insulated water bottle with STRAW by zbf39
I don't know about BIFL, but my wife has some HydraPeak that have held up well for a few years.
The only reason I didn't buy HydraPeak is that they didn't publish their dimensions and I needed to make sure it would fit in the bottle holder on my backpack. I bought a few ThermoFlask that are pretty good but tend to leak a little if the flip up straw isn't exactly in the right position when you sip from it.
Whatever you get, I'd recommend buying directly from the manufacturers website because there is a lot of counterfeit insulated bottles on Amazon.

Reply to Are there any BIFL electric toothbrushes? I'm tired of $40 Sonicares failing every year or two by Alfred-Bitchcock
I can't comment on which ones are BIFL but I looked though my purchase history and can list the ones that I have bought and how long each lasted.
Almost always it's the batteries that fail. One of those Waterpiks on the list I wired in new corldess phone batteries about every 6 months.
I would think a lithium-ion battery toothbrush would probably last longer for that reason. I can't remember but I think the last time I was looking for lii-ion toothbrushes the only thing that was available were those Amazonified clones that come up on the first page when you search for anything on that site.
Oral B ProVantage 1500 - 1yr 8mos and still working fine
Waterpik SR3000 - 2yrs 2 mos
Sonicare 3 series - 2 yrs
Waterpik Sensonic - 5 yrs 6 mos
Waterpik Sensonic - 2 yrs

Reply to Backpack suggestions for the Gym? by KeepthePeaceHumanity
Seems like a lot of stuff. Does your gym offer locker rental? My gym charges $10/month. It adds up, but since I'm a bike commuter I can leave some of that stuff at the gym and keep it off my back so I felt the $120 a year was worth it. Mostly it was my shoes taking up a lot of bag space.
Anyway, 3 pairs of shoes is going to take quite a bit of space. A Gallon of water? Seems excessive. I keep an 18oz and fill it up about twice per day. If it's not special water then maybe just refill a smaller bottle or keep the gallon in your car and fill a smaller bottle that you carry in your bag from the bigger one in your car.
Maybe the Project Rock Duffel Backpack from Under Armour?
Or split into two bags, one for the gym and one for work?
