    Bought a belt and wallet from hanksbelts.com and they have aged very well! They come with a 100 year warranty so I’m sure if anything does happen I’ll be covered, though I doubt they ever get destroyed in my lifetime.

    Until yesterday I would have said “my toaster”. But after about 25 years of service or so the heating element finally broke and there are no more spare parts around. So I guess it’s time to lay it to rest. It served me well.

    A KitchenAid mixer.

    An old one.

    Technically, we bought two - from goodwill. We cannibalized them for parts, cleaned and lubed all the machinery and reassembled one functioning Frankenmixer. It’s been running with no problems for over fifteen years now - and the parts were from the seventies to begin with!

    Safety razor. Bought one for 30 EUR over a decade ago, and it’s showing no signs of wear. Razor blades are cheap too. I have no clue why razors with proprietary blades are so popular nowadays.

    I bought a nice Jansport backpack in 5th-6th grade, and it’s still going strong in my 30s. It’s been through years of school, college, and a family member took it when they had to do a military tour in Iraq. Still going strong, not a single tear.

    Fountain pens. They hold up incredibly well, but…

    …Then again, I keep buying them, and inks, and etc., so I’m not sure it qualifies as BIFL.

    1999 Toyota Tacoma. A dinky two-door job. Still running. It’s old enough to buy itself a drink. Has a shell on the back. I’m the kind of guy who runs the car until it runs no more or isn’t cost affordable. Get regular oil changes, general maintenance, nothing spectacular. A life utility vehicle. Little rusty around the edges, and definitely a car for an old dude who doesn’t have to impress the chicks. As a matter of fact, it tends to attract older guys, like me, who walk up and say “that is such a cool truck.”

          That’s actually a bit light on mileage ain’t it? Us it your daily commuter? I calculate about 9k miles per year that you put on it, which is low compared to the us average of 14k. Regardless that’s great it’s lasted you a long time, and you haven’t needed to put a lot of mileage on it.

    Plex Lifetime Pass back in 2015. Worth every penny.

    Before the haters start, Jellyfin wasn’t around back then and yes, I’ve tried Jellyfin but it’s not as featured rich as Plex for what I use it for. So, no, I’m not switching.
