I’m the same vintage as the thermos and going strong.
I’m an adoptee, a real buy for life deal.

I have used an egg slicer for mushrooms and strawberries. Nothing firmer worked. The joy of housemates.

Pro tip, barefoot on wood floors does a number on them.

Personally?
I think I get a max of five wears, BUT not consecutive days. In theory, I need two pair as I wash weekly. But I rotate five pairs. I look at this knowledge as a travel/packing cheat.
I do have two thicker just for hiking socks, and a few cotton “fanciful” socks I’ve kept for things like deep moisturizing my feet (wool drinks the lotion faster than my skin. I’ve had to line my wool buff, too) My exercise socks are a couple that look disreputable and I wear them for an hour, max, and hand wash after use. Two because they aren’t fully dry, something I could live with in sandals, but not closed shoes.

I was in university then. Somehow I got it in my head that she and Mother Theresa died the same day. Nope.

Sort of.
Horrific is always happening, though.

Why is that?
Is it how it’s taught, or not, in school? Do you live in an area with few Jews? (That you can tell, many of us aren’t stereotypical in looks)

So, you don’t need backpacking capabilities, just EDC/travel, correct?
What size works best?
What’s available locally? Will/can their warranty be handled through a shop?

Reply to comment by IKnewThisYearsAgo in Recommendation for a Stainless Steel Cookware Set by Admirable-Mud3917
Maybe I have a cheap end of the line with IKEA, but I feel the handles get too hot. I have used many versions of tri-ply and like the results on them all. Look for either thick bottoms or the cladding going all around.
I cook many styles, and find a 10 inch, 12 inch skillet plus two sauce pans fills 90 percent of my needs.
Get the set if it’s a good value for the parts you’ll use, and sell the extras.

I’m betting the protein is making the taste shift. If I put anything else besides water in mine, it’s a few weeks until it’s back to baseline. Try a dedicated water only bottle.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in How do waterfalls freeze? by THE_WARDEN3036
The closest big frozen falls to me seem to slowly form in the first few cold snaps, a bit at a time, and by January this year, look like stalactites.
I did notice there’s a sheen of not yet frozen on it, so it’s making layers.

No great tear or fall risk? Khaki or linen, or a lighter weight denim.
