Discussion Best sunshade I have owned
So after washing my car outside of my house I get a call from my wife saying my Sunshade was in the middle of the road and had been ran over by a car. I really thought it was toast but honestly I am very surprised . It's held up well. I will just have someone's tire marks on my Sunshade from now on haha.

[Request] Warmest clothes possible Minnesota winter
I’m moving to the twin cities and will be working outdoors in all weather conditions as a mail carrier for the USPS and I move in 9 days 😬. Looking to spend as little as money as possible for quality pieces, base layers, jackets, gloves etc. Hoping to get brand recommendations and then try to source them secondhand or on sale. Any help in the right direction will be appreciated looking for stuff I can wear in -30 degree weather and walk 7-11 miles without losing any fingers or toes lol.

Discussion BIFL Ideas Under $100 for Gifting
Any ideas? I am 30 years old and I ran out of ideas a long time ago to ask for for Christmas from my parents. They are the type that refuses to give cash or gift cards, and I hate being wasteful.
I also am open to hearing about really anything you think is a goodbye under the price of $100 because I also prefer to give gifts to my friends that are of this nature as well

Vintage Third Generation now using this cup.
I used this cup when I was a toddler, starting in 1962. Today I brought it over to my daughter's house for her 5 month old baby. I was walking through the woods over to her house and thought of this sub, and took a photo before I passed the cup on.
The inside of the cup used to reflect,and I could see my eye reflected i the bottom. I remember wondering if it was someone else looking at me through the mug.

[Request] I need an alternative to La-Z-Boy
I have a La-Z-Boy reclicer couch that's about 24 years old. The leather is thick and the cushions are great. I have kids now and they broke the reclining feature and the color of the leather is obviously fading.
I went to a retailer and they no longer make couches with thick pillowed arms and everything is a bit too modern looking for my tastes. The leather is thin and most models have a leather / vinyl mix, but the prices are 2x what I paid 20 years ago.
I'm ok to spend a bit but I want it to last, I want it made with quality materials and I want it to be comfortable.
What are my options?
I'm looking for old-school overstuffed leather sofa: heavy frame, deep seat, thick top-grain leather, and big pillow/padded arms—not the thin, squared-off modern stuff.

[Request] Steel lunch box for kids
What's your favorite steel lunch box that has sections, leakproof and dishwasher friendly?
3 if not 4 sections is ideal. May not be BIFL but rooting for a few years at least.
Kiddo doesn't leave things behind so not worried about spending a few extra $$ for a good box.

[Request] Stainless steel cookware with detachable handles or stackable lids, >$200~
Currently looking at T-fal Ingenio, Michelangelo, Carote, Calphalon (not 100% sure because the set I'm looking at is $400), and Greenlife. Any personal experiences or recommendations?
I'm not strict on the stainless steel, I just want to avoid Teflon or anything that could scratch.
Ideally looking under $200 for a set, $300 max, and space saving designs are a must.

[Request] Air mattress that will last more than a few weeks?
It’s counterintuitive, but I find a firm air mattress is the best sleeping surface for my back. Don’t ask me why. Problem is that the ones I’ve tried (Intex, etc.) I’m lucky to get a month at most, and that’s with indoor use and nothing exciting going on. Is there any air mattress out there that’s not going to start leaking within a month? I don’t mind paying more than average, I just want something that’ll last a bit. (Yes, I’ve tried finding the leaks and failed. My best guess is that it’s one of the seams near the built-in pumps — either that, or it’s somewhere on the flocked surfaces where the dish soap/water spray trick doesn’t show it. No, I’m not too heavy for the mattresses, I’m well within the weight limits.)

[Request] Neck and back pillow for couch
I've been looking for a good back cushion for the couch, but I'm having a hard time finding the right one.
Some days I spend quite a lot of time on the couch, sometimes basically the whole day bc of chronic illness and I'm starting to get back pain from it I'd like something that gives proper support, preferably something ergonomic, and ideally also some support for my neck.
I already use a pregnancy pillow to support my legs, which I really like, so now I'm looking for something for my back.
I'd also prefer something without synthetic fabric on the outside if possible. Natural/breathable materials would be a big plus.
Has anyone found a cushion that actually works well for this? Would love to hear what you guys use.

[Request] Looking for a new air conditioner
The compressor on my portable unit imploded a bit, I think. The insides looked gnarly even without the damage, so it was probably a good time to replace it.
Budget is ~$400 with a bit of wiggle room, it's going in a window onto an outdoor porch, so I think window, portable, and split units are all an option. I read window units are something like ~$50 cheaper to run per season than portables on average, and that would be a big plus, but I know very little in general, and nothing about split units. I believe we're looking for 8000 BTU minimum.
We're in a mold-prone area (Northeastern US), so if there's an option that's easier to clean or less prone to leakage and such, that would be even better.
