SIG 550 assault rifle. I don't particularly like weapons, but this gun can take an incredible amount of abuse and is still accurate and reliable. I feel that the designers really found the sweet spot between complexity and simplicity here.
Same for the Kawasaki KLR 650 motorcycle. A superb bike, virtually indestructible, and in the unlikely case that something breaks, it's possible to fix it on your own.
EDIT: Sublime Text. Fast, simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform, extendable.
- briHass 10y agoLoved my early 2000s KLR 650. I'm hardly a mechanic, but I did my own top end and bottom end work on it (full engine teardowns), and it always started back up. Motorcycles require quite a bit more maintenance than cars, and having one where I was comfortable fixing every part on it was awesome.
- reitanqild 10y agoYou reminded me, I though I couldn't add anything I really found well designed but the assault rifle (G3) I had while drafted was amazing. The mechanics, the raw power, the precision. It was kind of awesome. It helped people like me hit targets precisely at 200m, using only the coarse built-in sights. And they mostly worked after years of abuse at boot camp. If I could get hold of one now I would be tempted although I guess I shouldn't have one as to not make my family a target.
