I use oxiclean to help clean gunky beer kegs. It actually works really well to put a scoop in, fill with hot water and let it sit overnight. By morning it's like a new keg. I then finish sanitizing with StarSan

I really like Arm and Hammer's scentless laundry soap and their baking soda/peroxide toothpaste.

I've been using both for years and feel no need to change.

My solar powered casio pro-trek wristwatch has been going for over 15 years now. No battery changes, atomic clock syncing, altimeter, barometer, moon phases, tidal display, compass and a lot more.

Seriously i think it might be the last watch I'll ever own and within the first year I bought a second just to have a a backup if this one ever dies.

I bought two large Stanley thermoses when they were on sale locally. Used them every day for 5 years. Besides a few cosmetic blemishes they're as good as new.

I've been using MacBooks for work as a developer for over 15 years. They are ridiculously reliable. Earlier models would have key paint rub off. Mostly cosmetic stuff. But I've literally never had one not work.

I don't like that you can't switch out batteries, ram or hard drive anymore.

Also, they're not cheap so for personal use I don't buy apple products (especially since I don't want to switch from an android to an apple ecosysten) but its to the point where if work tried to make me use a Dell windows laptop for my daily driver id go find another job. That's how much I like the MacBook pro.

They did try for a lower cost entry model that was more sporty. That didn't Pentwater the market at all. Like..at all at all.

Once these helmetless boomers die off, that company is up shits creek.

Fuck 'em.

I, too, rode a Honda shadow. I quickly grew tired of that upright sitting position on classic cruisers. Longer rides made my spine feel every fucking bump.

On a separate note...

Fuck all of those Harley bitches that bought into the lifestyle riding around without helmets on the weekend.

This is why I stick with credit unions.
