Or like a smart person you can buy the better-designed steel version made by other companies for like 1/3 of the price.

I went out and bought a $200 set of polarized Aviators and I couldn't be happier with them. I'm still not convinced they're worth 200 bucks, but the quality is so much higher than the $20 cheapies that they are certainly going to pay for themselves within a year or so. Cheap sunglasses are really a false economy if you're somebody that wears sunglasses on a regular basis.

I wear regular glasses and I ponied up and bought prescription polarized sunglasses and they rule. Glasses.com is a good place to buy from. They are owned by Luxottica, the parent company of Ray Ban, Lenscrafters, etc. so the poo poo is a-ok and the prices are decent.

Or if you want wheels on the bottom for rolling around your deck, like every other grill on earth has, that's a special accessory. Yeah, those are good ones. Two lovely little table things that attach to it are $120, and the "Nest" to sit it in with wheels on it is like $220+, and it's basically a mandatory purchase unless you feel like grilling while sitting cross legged on the ground in front of it, or buying/building a wood thing to put it in. I think new ones actually come with the nest and wheels now, but maybe they didn't used to? I can't remember for sure. I also like the "platesetter", without which you just bought a lovely grill (i.e. you can't smoke or bake with it) and costs 120 bucks or something. quote:Or like a smart person you can buy the better-designed steel version made by other companies for like 1/3 of the price. Some of these are better designed in some ways, some are just basically cheap steel eggs without any real extra engineering put into them (I'd probably put the Akorn in the latter category). There is something to be said for the ceramics though. One is that unless you're a retard and tip the thing over, a ceramic will last literally forever. Worst you'd have to do is replace the metal bits every 20 years or something. The other is that all that ceramic mass does make a difference in maintaining even temps. I like the Primo Oval ones. They're still expensive as hell and I think they still nickel and dime you on a lot of stuff, but they're basically an egg + better engineering - extra markup "because it's the original BGE!"

If I had a deck to build it into I would buy an egg, but for my hillbilly yard parties I am eyeing this $1700 smoker/grill made from like 5/16" rolled steel pipe. It's thick enough that I can just weld it up if somehow it breaks.

Of you spend a good amount of time outdoors a good pair of sunglasses is a must. I pretty much can't drive in the summer with out them. They are incredibly durable, and unbelievably clear. And they stand behind their warranty. Yeti coolers have a very specific use case. Like fishing or camping for a week at a time. Ive seen them at the store, they seem very durable and well made. they also have like a 10 year warranty. so I can see why they are desirable for these things. But lol if you spend $400 for a beer cooler for day drinking at Clem's. It's stupid smart that yeti has transformed themselves into a redneck lifestyle brand. Brilliant marketing.

I was very confused about how being bear-proof is a selling point on a big, heavy cooler that you have to be transporting by car anyways, but then I googled and saw you aren't allowed to keep a normal cooler in the trunk of your car anymore. I went to yellowstone a long time ago, that used to be ok. Either bears have gotten better at opening cars, or lovely modern cars are less bear proof than they used to be. We got a ticket for leaving out a bottle of liquid dish soap.

The funny thing is they came out US made, then they supposedly had to start "temporary" additional production in the Philippines, supposedly because of demand, and now they still make a lot of them there. There used to be a hotline you could call if you want a US made one. The zip up bag ones are made in China though.

William F Cuckley posted:the latter I've been thinking about this and, while racial tensions are a real thing and an issue we are all facing, I think class divisions and lack of upward mobility are the real issue. Americans used to pretend "anyone can make it big" and "we are all temporarily embarrassed millionaires." We don't DO that anymore. You either "have money" or you don't. So with no hope of improving your lot in life, you instead look backward and say "I'm a redneck haha" And then go look up what a redneck is on Google. Then act "proud." Then go buy a $60,000 truck the size of a small house. And then (because all your neighbors are also unsuccessful middle class people pretending to be rednecks and of course you have to keep up with them) you buy a $400 dollar cooler to put in your ridiculous truck because middle class "keeping up with the joneses" is second nature to you and like you're already pretending to be a redneck, you'd better be a successful one dammit, NOT an unsuccessful middle class person, noooo no heh heh he oh god um, DIP!

People on the low end of wealthy do this too, where they dress and act as if they are just "normal" middle class people. It's like when presidential candidates put on a hard hat and a fresh out of the package flannel work shirt, only its rich people acting upper middle class. I knew a lot of pretty well off independently wealthy people as a kid in the Midwest who put on workboots and jeans with creases ironed in and go hang out with mere upper middle class people with "jobs" who "work." Some of them did some kind of charity/nonprofit type thing 2 days a week so they could talk about "going to the office yep, I'm a real life human who performs labor" only like, they owned it. They tended to be people who I'm guessing got picked on by bigger, meaner, richer rich people and decided to slum it among the plebes. Their kids my age tended to be hilarious and couldn't roll their eyes hard enough and tended to total the $60,000 dollar pickup truck their parents bought them because they were embarrassed to be seen in it. Also there were always tells for wealth like, $700 dollar plates of cheese catered just to look at anytime people came over and the house looked average from the street but they added on several wings all made of glass/marble, and a nanny/personal chef/gardener "oh they're not live in, why Sonia only comes twice a week, we're just normal average folks like you heh heh" **glances around nervously** Also lower middle class people pretending to be upper middle class would often befriend these rich and they'd feed off each other, gleaning inaccurate cultural norms in a weird inbred subculture. Which I think my be where this faux-redneck thing started too now that I think about it
