the flip side of this is that you should buy durable, preferably used and pass it on to the next generation for free
planned obsolesence is a crime against humanity
Good one: Regarding our earthly possessions, you never see a U-Haul attached to a hearse.
i have tools so old i dont even know which generation of our family they came from
and they still work like new, because we take care of them
i can tell you an enormous amount about restoring and conserving antiques, but id probably lose all my followers going on about rust*
*not that rust, dammit
theres also a sweet spot for most technologies where it hasn't yet been cost optimized to break in 90 days but the price has gone down because "fancier" stuff is on the market
buy two and use them forever
particularly anything with a smooth even layer of fine rust is a prime candidate for restoration because it'll come out looking like a million bucks
dont wire wheel it off!! 😭
@bweller something I learned from Mark Novak's gunsmith videos. He'll take an old barrel, deliberately rust it further, then card it to bring back the original blue. Even understanding how it works it's almost magical to watch.
