Im going to suggest an alternative. Just get some crocs. They are light and airy, can handle water which all drains out the holes, easy to clean as you can just hose them off, pretty cheap given that they will last for years. You want the original clog type though. None of the fancy new stuff.
To tell the truth. Im not sure. I remember it as celery stalk but I mean they are both green vegetables I was not wild about eating as a kid. It could have totally been broccoli.
You both have valid points. This kind of civility and open-mindedness is fantastic, but it’s not going to make a croc less ugly. A croc is all the bad shoes ever made, rolled into one and dipped into the powdered sugar of despair.
Can't argue that they aren't ugly but im the kind of guy that is utility and function are all that matter. Much to my wifes chagrin. I have a black pair I call my bussiness crocs for the office.
Havaianas last me forever. Not the fancy, multiple-material ones. Just the simple, rubber, 'Brazil' ones that are like $20. I live in Florida and wear them with shorts and jeans, in the summer and winter. They're indestructible.
I hate flip flops with a passion. They suck to walk in. They're uncomfortable. The thong is annoying. They break easily. They're slippery. They're the worst.
BUT, I actually like these Okabashi sandals. They're comfortable and very, very durable. I got them at CVS several years ago and they're still holding up.
Otherwise, I highly, HIGHLY recommend Birkenstocks. I have this pair and they're amazing. They're definitely an investment, but they're so durable and I can walk all day long in them. I've had them for a few years now and they just keep getting more comfortable.
I haven’t found a one-brand-fits-all, really. I’ve found that it’s good to go by certain design concepts.
As an example, especially for stuff like scoops and ladles, I vastly prefer when the utensil is one continuous piece of material. If it is made of different materials joined together, water might get in, or the material will detach/delaminate over time. A lot of utensils have handles that are like that, and they always eventually fail for me.
Is there a reason that you'd prefer to not have exposed metal? Unless you have PTFE (Teflon) coated cookware, that's not an issue. I mean, I've got stainless steel pots that have gotten dinged up over the years, but I can buff that out with 400 grit sandpaper, and when I manage to burn something to cast iron and have to scrub it, I can freshen up the surface with any drying oil. And if you do have PTFE coated pots, I'd be more worried about the PTFE than about the utensils. Pots and pans that are PTFE coated are more or less disposable, and I would recommend against them in most cases. PTFE frying pans can be a real risk, because when heated, PTFE can release toxic gasses.
I've been looking for a fan that literally mechanically raises and lowers a large leaf-like thing (think Anthony&Cleo) in a pleasant wafting fashion. How does no such device exist?
Vornado makes powerful fans. I think they're pretty quiet on low and medium, less so on high, but YMMV depending on your noise tolerance. I haven't tried Dyson but they are outrageously expensive (and I think I've seen a video on them not moving much air, I'll come back with the link if I can find it).
I've not had any problems with that. It's pretty flat. I've only had problems with pockets shredding with my old thick wallet. It's definitely the most comfortable wallet I've ever owned.
