Reply to Best set of chef knives ? by MatineHen
Love my Globals. All stainless, integral handles, sand filled for balance. Fairly easy to sharpen on regular stones (very easy with diamond). All I really use is the chef knife and the paring knife.
Also the fibrox ones are awesome for the price. Never buy an expensive bread knife. It’s hard to sharpen serrations correctly. Just get the fibrox bread knife and replace it when it gets dull

I’ve got a military surplus N-3B, best jacket I’ve ever seen. Literally never been cold wearing it, even well into subzero temps.
They are pretty ugly and much to warm to wear around indoors, but they are not expensive and they’ll keep you warm in a nuclear winter

Reply to Keep or retire our trusty old furnace by kvsmothra
Technology Connections just did an amazing video discussing the issue of electrifying old houses. He makes a pretty solid argument that 100amp service can be just fine for heavier electrical demands if it’s actively managed. A dumb breaker panel will struggle, but a smart one can allocate the available 100amps as needed (i.e. turn off the water heater for a bit when you run your stove)
