They really did suck. I tried to get into their catalog a number of times because I thought I was missing something due to the amount of people into them.
That's how I remember it as well. It was a frustrating mess of dead sites or sites that looked like they were created in 1993 and loaded with the speed of a BBS coming through a 1200 baud modern
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
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.
Cheapest is 14.5k?? I get it's electric but God damn my Yamaha FJR1300 was 13k with 0 miles off the damn showroom floor (also, pro tip... don't ever buy a brand new bike) ;)
Edit: just looked at Yamaha website. A new FJR1300 is now 18.3k
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.
Oh fuck that's right, that was a thing.
Goddamn
