  • I have almost exclusively darn tough socks now and have for over 15 years at this point. I do eventually get worn areas in them but I never let them get anywhere near this bad. A small section of padding worn out is enough for DT to replace them for me. My main hobby is backpacking though so they get used hard and often. I would guess they last somewhere around 500 miles per pair for the micro crews. The business socks are also nice but wear out faster.



  • You’ve never driven one have you? Electric motors are crazy powerful and it’s all torque. My Prius can accelerate faster than my Tacoma. What you are seeing in people driving a Prius is trying to save gas by not accelerating hard. Just because they often don’t doesn’t mean they can’t when it’s needed.


  • It’s funny because you are just doing the same thing in a different way. Tomatoes and mushrooms have msg naturally. The ketchup is mostly about adding some sugar.

    A secret ingredient in a lot of sauces is anchovy paste and it’s partly for the msg. It does make a sauce taste great though.
