Have you not played Dwarf Fortress? Frame rate goes way down, a situation imperceptible to the dorfs. Then eventually the operator of the machine looses interest, or a oandemic makes the pop count drop, or a combo of those.
Edit; You should read some Greg Egan if you’re into this question.
I have seen classical guitars that do, not unlike a cello, but cannot steer you at a specific brand.
No one seems to be paying much attention to it.
I have, incidentally. Not on purpose: My father rearranged a room whilst I was away, putting the entire disc collection on the north-west-facing wall of the house. Bookcase heated and cooked the lot in the afternoon summer sun that January. He was upset when I explained why nothing worked any more.
…I did. Like I said.
Oh, phone case. You had me very confused.
I dunno, I just use otterbox cases. Because they never give up.
I make dough several times a week. But I use my hands, because I have tried using machines (including the expensive ones) and they make it wrong every time.
I would argue blenders/mixers aren’t on that list. Used my mothers fancy one, used fancy ones at school, used friends fancy devices. And used my rubbish $12 blender from BigW, so I do not see why anyone pays more than $12 for a mixer ever.
Boots, though, shoes, headphones, and laptop. Those are good to be quality.

In covid quarantine. Not going out.
It is boxing day here, and we did get a grocery delivery from my family. So someone delivered that. Poor sod.
Apple IIe even has a dot matrix printer still in operation (paper running low though)
But probably my oldest piece is my Beale upright piano, made in the 1920s, still beautiful, still hammering out music.
So… Your values are…?
Could be related to the Aussie movie Two Hands, where some drug money has a picture of a gun drawn on it? Only one I can think of right now where money has somat written on it.
That and the tooth fairy sticker on the fiver in that Bluey episode, I guess.
Job first. Move second. When you know there is a job definitely lined up.
Might be able to go into the mining industry, Perth and surrounds pretty good for that, if you want the isolation of the west coast.
Your current wages sound illegally low, unless you are a minor.
Far away from everything, and worse job prospects, and everything more expensive. I can understand them doing that if there was a well paid job waiting for them, but the West Coast doesn’t seem like a good choice with no prospects. Pipe dream.
The correct usage of the word “c*nt” in Australian culture.
People keep asking this…
Sounds like a yank. Poor sod.
“Everyone everywhere should federate.”
“Not like that!”
Had to do a flame test to identify old fuel for recycling.
Made blue dye from indigo, and red and orange dye from madder, mixing in alum and other things. Making blue is amazing, it comes out green then changes colour all at once. Get the mix wrong and you get the wrong colour… Also we boiled one batch of madder and got orange instead of scarlet, so even the temperature had to be regulated.
Most recently, been making etched plates from the inside of soft drink cans, etching with copper sulfate (they sell it in Bunnings as a fertiliser). Lots of fun!
So yeah mostly art projects.
That said even baking a cake is pretty fancy chemistry.
