I’ve found dickies 60/40 poly/cotton socks to be good quality and last years for work and working out and they wick moisture well. Darn tough or other wool socks are only worth it for me for specific hard-use applications like skiing or long hikes. I think the best value lies somewhere in between. Cheaper good quality socks for everyday use, and high quality wool for specific uses. Having an abundance of normal socks is nice too when socks become unexpectedly soiled or wet. Running out of socks and having to put on a crusty pair because I haven’t done the laundry isn’t ideal. Some days I’ll wear 3 pairs… one for work, one working out, and then a fresh pair after showering. I don’t like the idea of having to “ration” my socks.

Hopefully, but wheat is a very resource and land intensive crop. It is the worlds bread basket, but it often doesn’t make sense to grow when it can be imported at 1/3 of the price from climates that are more ideal growing conditions and benefit from scales of economy. It really does come down to cost, if farmers can’t make money growing it locally, they won’t.

Our Overeated* world. There’s already food surplus, and most countries are facing obesity problems. In first world countries subsidies artificially inflate crop prices so farmers can make a living.

I hate to be cynical, but at this point I doubt this would be a large scale solution. Farming in the modern world is incredibly efficient. Supply chains and distribution are the problem

Toggle bolts rely on the strength of the parent material, not the anchor itself. Doubled drywall should be even stronger. The wall basically has to buckle around the anchor to fail. I’ve hung a large TV on articulated arms (think lever arm on bolts), in a 100 year old lathe-and-plaster construction house with four toggle bolts, and no stud mounts. A pot holder should be fine.

What’s the worst that can happen, OP has to patch a wall? … it’s not like a potholder is gonna bring down the ceiling

Probably just a coincidence. Warts are caused by a form of hpv.

It’s crude but I’ve found heating a paperclip over a candle and burning it down to the root slowly is 100% effective. Doesn’t hurt if you do a lot of quick dabs… it kinda just vaporizes it little by little and cauterizes so there’s little risk of infection. Salicylic acid works but takes forever and requires a consistent application schedule (terrible for ADD). Have had mixed results with freezing… both the kits and liquid nitrogen from the doctor (which they send a hefty bs bill for).
