This is amazing, great work!
Due to lemmy.world's current scaling issues, this post got lost in federation. Only finally showed up now because I found it over there and did a manual search here on sh.itjust.works to force it to sync the post.
Anyway, cool if I pin this to give it some more visibility?
Hope it doesn't come across like I'm trying to steal your work and pass it off as my own here. Just wanted to bring all the posts over to this new community.
Feel free to repost it here if you want full credit. This list is amazing!
BIFL modern-looking recliners: Room & Board, Stressless, others?

> Love recliners, hate cheap-feeling ones, hate the aesthetic of the overstuffed ones. Stressless is a popular rec but I'm not into their separated ottoman design, and my wife doesn't like the looks of the powered ones. Is R&B the next best choice, or any other brands that stick out as BIFL?

Looking for a link aggregator I don't have to change every five years due to a company messing it up.

Bags

> Looking for backpacks that could be used for a onebag like setup. So far I am considering the 5.11 rush 24 and the 5.11 COVRT 18, anyone have any suggestions? Looking for about 30L of storage.
Notebooks

> I'm looking for notebooks that I can have with me pretty much always. I've had a few TBIs and my memory is all kinds of messed up. > > I'm looking for notebooks that I can use to easily catalog notes, and solutions to problems and such. I need them to be tough because I do a lot of outdoor stuff for fun and for work. I work on cars for fun, I go hiking, and kayaking, and I work with petroleum and the environment and so on. > > I guess I need them to be a decent size but not too big, because I think I'll have to carry a few to separate work from hobbies, from day to day stuff. > > Any ideas?
BIFL Suggestions

Most of my stuff comes straight from the Amazon recommended section, and realistically probably won't last more than 5 years :(
I would like to, but don't know a great way to do this and include all the comments.
I guess I can make crossposts for all the existing post so far? That might be the best option.
It is in the url /c/buytiforlife
Communities also have a separate display name, which is correct: BuyItForLife. The display name can also be edited after community creation, but the actual name that determines the url cannot be changed.
