Good cast iron is the true BIFL... It'll last your life, then your kid's, then their kid's, then theirs and so on... It needs to be seriously mistreated and neglected for a very long time until it becomes unusable

I agree, I have a Whirlpool version and it's still a tank. I think some of the criticism comes from the fact that the newer mixers use a plastic sacrificial gear, which is designed to fail before the motor. Other than that, they are virtually identical to the Hobart version (you can buy parts from KitchenAid/Whirlpool to repair/restore a Hobart mixer)

'At war' is not the same as defending yourself from an invasion, which the US has not had to do since it has existed in it's current form. Also, governments have suspended elections in the past when necessary. For instance, the UK suspended elections during WW2 via the 'Prolongation of parliament' bill, while they were defending themselves from a German invasion.

Back in the day of time cards, that was more or less how it worked (minus the commute part) the machine was either at the front door or in the break room, and you'd punch in, then go to your station, set up and start. End of day, you'd pack up, then punch out on your way out the door.

Where do you live? Anywhere that has winter you will be certainly replacing a radiator long before that. I have not owned a vehicle that has made it past 250,000km without needing a new radiator and at least some exhaust work.

between $30-50 USD for 5 gallons of beer

See if there's a homebrew club in your area that runs bulk buys, you can drop your per-batch price by a fair amount with buying ingredients in bulk. Un-milled grains last a long time if stored properly, hops can be stored in the freezer and I've used them up to a year after opening without a significant drop in quality. Same goes for yeast if you get dry. I have a 500g bag of US-04 that is over a year old and still ferments just fine, I transferred it to a mason jar and keep it in the coldest part of my fridge. I was able to drop my per-batch cost to around $20 CAD or less for most beers that I brew, and having the ingredients on-hand means I can brew whenever I feel like it.
