Winter tires or tires in general
冬季轮胎，或者所有轮胎
Propulus
Tires are so under rated. They will make an older normal car feel like it's newer and safer to drive and handle on the road. It wont make it feel nicer inside, but going around a corner, stopping quickly, and taking off from a stop on shitty roads will be so much better.
轮胎这方面被严重低估了。轮胎可以让一辆车龄比较大的正常的车开起来像一辆新车，开起来更安全，并且在路上操控起来也更舒服。虽然不会让内部感觉更好，但你在拐弯的时候，急刹车的时候，在糟糕的路面上起步的时候都会好很多。
de_jim
Especially if you live somewhere with rough winters.
尤其是如果你住在一个冬天很冷的地方的话。
You'll make your life so much fucking easier. Like obviously winter tires are a bit of a luxury but even regular mid tier+ regular tires will make your life so much easier.
冬季轮胎能让你的生活轻松太多。虽然冬季轮胎显然有点奢侈，但就算是中档以上的普通轮胎也能让你的生活轻松太多。

Anything I’ll use for years.
任何我会用好几年的东西。
Like computer or clothes.

A good mattress.
好的床垫。

I agree my dad always said"look after your mattress and your footwear because you spend most of your life in both"
我同意，我爸爸总是说“照顾好你的床垫和鞋子，因为你的人生中绝大部分时间都要花在这两个东西上面”

Don't cheap out on stuff that separates you from the ground. Mattresses, shoes, and tires.
别在那些把你和地面分隔开的东西上省钱。比如床垫，鞋子，还有轮胎。

Like computer
引用：“比如电脑”
Its not obvious, lots of people don't realize this. If you buy a nice computer (like a gaming computer) and you buy a separate monitor for it, go the extra mile and get a good monitor. Why?
其实并没有那么显而易见，很多人都没有意识到这一点。假如你买一台不错的电脑
（比如游戏电脑），然后要为这个电脑买一个显示器，那请多花点钱买个好显示器。为什么？

Monitors usually last (if you take care of them) for 2-3 actual computers' lifetimes. You may replace your computer every couple years, or even after 5-6 years, but your monitor you'll probably use for a decade, especially if its a really nice one.
因为显示器（假如你保养得好的话）通常都能坚持两三代电脑的时间。你或许可以每过几年，甚至每过五六年换一次电脑，但你的显示器很可能会用十年，尤其假如它真的很不错的话。
I paid as much for my current monitor as the entire gaming computer behind it. I've had it for about 5 years and will probably keep it another decade. My mom still uses a 40 inch TV I bought over a decade ago and that thing has zero dead pixels. I'm still amazed by it. (Toshiba)
我在现在用的显示器上花的钱和我的整个游戏主机一样多。我用了大概五年，并且很可能会继续用十年。我妈妈仍然在用我十年前买的那台40寸的电视，那个电视现在也没有一个坏像素点。我仍然对此感到吃惊。（东芝牌的）

If you're at you're computer for a good proportion of the day I'd say the more important things are the input devices, mouse & keyboard.
假如你每天要花很长时间用电脑，那么我觉得更重要的东西是输入设备，鼠标和键盘。

Even the difference between the 'good enough' £5 mouse or keyboard and a £30 one is striking.
就算是“足够好的”5英镑的鼠标或键盘，和30英镑的相比，区别也足够明显了。
Ebirah
All these things... monitor, mouse/keyboard - are the things that directly influence your enjoyment of your computer all of the time.
所有这些东西……显示器，鼠标和键盘——是直接影响你的电脑给你带来乐趣的重要因素。
For a pretty small expenditure compared to the bits of the computer that people generally fuss about, you make the difference between having a shitty experience and a really nice one.
和人们经常吹来吹去的在电脑上花的那些大价钱相比，只要多花一点点钱，你就可以拥有非常不错的体验，而不是非常糟糕的体验。
Round them off with a nice set of speakers and a really comfy chair.
最后再加上一套不错的扬声器，和一把足够舒服的椅子。

a really comfy chair.
引用：“一把足够舒服的椅子。”
I can't stress this enough. For years, I cheaped out on low-to-mid range gaming chairs. They wouldn't last long, and weren't that comfortable.
这一点再怎么强调也不够。几年来我一直为了省钱买低中档的电竞椅，它们用不了太久，也没那么舒服。
I just last year bought a proper office chair; no plastic parts, it's all metal & leather, baby! And I've never been more comfortable at my PC.
去年我刚买了一个舒服的办公椅；没有塑料零部件，全都是金属和真皮，太棒啦！我这辈子也没在电脑前坐得这么舒服过。

Work boots
工作靴
Nuclear_Geek
Footwear in general. I'm always willing to pay a bit extra to get better-quality footwear that's comfortable and has a good, grippy sole.
不如说所有鞋子。我总是愿意多花一点钱买一双质量更好的鞋子，又舒服，鞋底的抓地力又好。
ninefeet
Once you've had to lay out of work and lose more money than good boots would have cost in the first place, you don't make that mistake again. Cheap boots are fine for dicking around but you need to pony up if you're trying to really get into some things.
只要你需要在户外工作，并且在鞋子上花的钱比一开始就买一双好靴子还多的话，那么你就不会再犯这种错误了。便宜靴子偶尔传出去还好，但假如你真的要干点什么工作的话，你最好买点好鞋子。
sinnyD
I buy $200 AUD work boots that last me about 2 comfortable years whereas my dad used to buy cheap $50-80 boots that would only last 6 months before it's busted up. Not only that, his feet are covered in thick and hard calluses that cause him constant pain while my feet are still soft. Thankfully his working years are over because I never got my point across to him to spend more on quality work boots.
我买了一双200澳元的工作靴，舒舒服服地穿了两年，而我爸爸买的50-80澳元的靴子在坏掉之前只能坚持六个月。不仅如此，他的脚上还布满了又厚又硬的老茧，让他总是疼，而我的脚仍然很软。幸亏他已经退休了，因为我永远没办法劝他在高品质的工作靴上多花点钱。

Direct flights instead of cheaper ones with layovers, 'connections,' or 'stops.'

A good plumber
一名会干活的水管工
G8kpr
We had an issue in our house, where the pipes would occasionally do a loud BANG and then no hot water for 20 min to 4 hours, until another bang and it came back. We called the water heater guy as thats what i figured was wrong. He walked in, looked at our water heater and said”nope, not the water heater, i can tell from here that its fine, that is some other issue. Best you call a plumber”
我们自己家房子里出过一点问题，水管有时会很大声地“梆”一声响，之后的20分钟到4小时之内就不会有热水，再“梆”地一声响之后才会有。我们给修热水器的人打电话，因为我觉得是热水器出了问题。他走进来，看了一眼我们家的热水器，说“不对，不是热水器的问题，我跟你保证它没问题，是别的地方有问题。你最好叫个水管工来。”
Called one plumber, who wasn't sure, but replaced a valve that was a bit leaky and hoped for the best, didnt help.. called a second plumber, and i was able to recreate the issue with him. He said “thats got to be the hot water tank, probably a valve issue”
给水管工打了个电话，他也不太确定，但他把一个有点漏水的阀门换成了个新的，但还是没用。又叫了一个水管工，我给他复现了一下问题。他说“这肯定是热水器的问题，可能是阀门出毛病了。”

Called the water tank guys back, new guy came out, i explained it, and without even looking at the tank, he told me whats wrong and what he had to do to fix it. Fixed a bad valve, and we never had an issue since.
给修热水器的又打了个电话，来了个新人，我解释了一下，他连热水器都没看一眼，就告诉我哪里出了问题，他要怎么做来把它修好。修好了一个阀门，此后我们再也没出过这个毛病。
First guy should be fired, his cocky attitude cost me two plumbers.
第一个修热水器的就该被开除，就是因为他自满的态度，我多花了两个水管工的钱。

Plumbers are the only tradesmen where I can have 3 of them look at a problem and have all 3 of them give completely different answers for what should be done.
水管工可能是我所知道的唯一一种，我叫三个人过来看同一个问题，他们能给出三种不同的解决方案的手艺人。
Also, expensive contractor doesn't always mean good. Plenty of expensive contractors who don't supervise the work or farm out to shitty people. Sometimes the less expensive guys are actually better because the guy you're talking to is the guy who will do the work.
还有，贵的承包商并不一定意味着是好的承包商。很多昂贵的承包商不会监督工作，也有可能会大批量雇佣便宜的不好好干活的人。有时那些收费没那么贵的反而会更好，因为和你说话的那个人就是会来干活的那个。

Yeah, this is pretty standard with plumbers. It's often just a large guessing game to solve weird problems because there's no instruction manual for how your entire house's plumbing was setup. And everybody does things differently.
没错，在水管工这一行真的很寻常。他们的工作通常就是为了解决诡异的问题而进行的庞大的猜谜游戏，因为你没有说明书介绍你家的整套水管系统是怎么设置的。并且每个人做事情的方法都不一样。

LPT: When you find a good tradesman, put them in your phone with their name and then under company put plumber/carpenter/electrician or whatever. Then you can search by the trade in your phone to find them again easily if you can't remember their name.
人生建议：假如你遇到了一个好的手艺人，把他的联系方式存到你的手机里，公司那里就填“水管工，木匠，电工”之类的。这样你就可以按照需要的行当在你的手机里搜索他们的电话了，即便你不记得他们的名字。

A really good quality winter coat or jacket. To me, it's definitely worth the investment if you live in a country that gets cold winters. Here in Ireland it doesn't snow much in winter due to us being a small island, but we get very cold winters and very wet ones, so you get really cold rain.
一件质量优秀的大衣或夹克。对我来说，假如你住在一个冬天很冷的国家的话，那么绝对值得投资。在爱尔兰，虽然我们是个小岛不太下雪，但我们的冬天非常寒冷并且非常潮湿，所以会下很冷的雨。
Paying extra for a really good quality, warm and waterproof coat makes SUCH a difference if you're out and about a lot like I am. It pays for itself because it can last you years.
假如你和我一样经常出门的话，多花点钱买一件质量优秀，温暖又防水的大衣会给你的生活带来巨大的改变。它值得，因为能穿很多年。
I'm due a new one this year, got five years out of my last one and it's still good, but I've lost a significant amount of weight this past year and it's much too big for me now.
我今年该买一件新的了，上一件穿了五年，仍然好穿，但因为我去年减了很多体重，所以它现在尺码太大了。

My boyfriend loves buying coats, he’s got about 30. I swear he is addicted to buying coats. Last year I think he realised he had too many so started buying me coats instead. He bought me a high quality waterproof and a high quality warm coat, and honestly it was life changing. I don’t get wet soggy elbows, I don’t get so cold my bones hurt. Now I’m wondering if he actually is addicted, or just really clever.
我男朋友很喜欢买大衣，他差不多有30件大衣。我打赌他买大衣有瘾。去年我觉得他可能意识到自己买了太多大衣了，于是他开始给我买大衣。他给我买了一件高质量的防水大衣，和一件高质量的保暖大衣，说实话真的改变了我的人生。我的胳膊肘再也不会潮乎乎的，我也不会冷到骨头疼。现在我在想他到底是真的买上瘾了，还是只是聪明而已。

Movers. Having them put your furniture in a truck, drive it to your location and put it in your new place. It’s great not having a sore back when it’s stressful enough to move.
搬家工人。让他们把你的家具放到卡车上，开到你的位置，帮你搬到你的新家里。搬家的时候用不着自己腰酸背痛是很棒的。

Oh yes! Definitely. I moved to a building, 7th floor, no elevator. Told my girlfriend i am not moving by myself. So we got a van and 2 movers. All we had to do is be there . I helped of course with the carrying but within an hour we were done. Everything was in our apartment.
哦没错！确实如此。我搬到了一个新楼里，7层，没有电梯。跟我女朋友说我可不自己搬，于是我们叫了辆面包车和两个搬家工人。我们只需要在那看着就行。当然我帮了一点忙搬东西，但不到一个小时我们就搬完了。公寓里一切东西都准备好了。
Gave then a super nice tip which they loved and i felt good afterwards knowing i didnt have to break my back or worry about 5-6 trips myself.
给了他们非常丰厚的小费，他们很喜欢，我也觉得很好，因为我不需要自己搬五六趟还把后背累断了。

I’ve got some pretty decent stainless steel, but by far my favorites are always my le creuset stuff, I only have 4 pieces and I always found them on sale.
我买了些挺不错的不锈钢锅，但目前为止我最喜欢的还是法国酷彩的珐琅锅。我只买了四口，我经常看见这几款打折。

SidViciious
For me the trick was to start reasonably cheap to figure out what I actually use, and then replace with higher quality items. I rarely use a frying pan, but use my baking trays every day. But the key difference for me is how much easier high quality cooking equipment is to clean.
对我来说最好的办法是从相对便宜的东西开始买，找到自己最常用的是什么，然后把它替换成高质量的东西。我基本上从来不用平底锅，但每天都会用烤盘。但对我来说最显而易见的区别是高质量的烹饪工具清理起来有多轻松。
Veraborn64
To add to this cooking wise: good knives!

Get a few food knives. Another add: get them sharpened twice a year if you do a lot of cooking. Either getting a set of stones to do your own sharpening or finding someone to do it!
买点好厨刀。还有：假如你经常做饭的话，一年磨两次。要么自己准备一套磨刀石，要么找个人给你磨！
I’m lucky there is a place near me that shape a knives for $5 a pop. I gladly pay $20 to get my best 4 knives sharpened.

My sister was blown away when she tried out my setup by how nice the sound was. My headphones, although perfectly fits my needs, aren't actually too great compared to many others that could be bought. My sister has been using the earbuds that came with her phone for a long time and she never knew what she was missing out on.
我姐姐第一次试我的耳机设备时，被优秀的声音惊讶得说不出话了。我的耳机尽管能完美地符合我的需求，但其实比起市面上其它款式来说并没那么好。我姐姐一直都用手机送的耳塞，从来不知道她错过了什么。
ShiraCheshire
You know what I hate about buying headphones though? You have to wade through a minefield of headphones that are "boosted bass" or "punchy" or "bright" or whatever other stupid thing.
你知道关于耳机我最讨厌的一点是什么吗？你得从一片耳机的地雷区中趟过去，到处都是“低音增强”，“强劲”，“明亮”之类很蠢的东西。
If I wanted bass-heavy music, I would... go get some bass-heavy music. I don't want headphones that make everything into pure bass, that's stupid. Just give me clear, neutral sound.
假如我要听重低音的音乐，那我就去……直接听点重低音的音乐。我不想要把所有音乐都变成重低音音乐的耳机，那可太蠢了。给我干净，自然的音色就行了。

Hobby supplies- every hobby I've ever tried has some real dog shit entry level gear that most people either buy and grow out of really fast or don't realise their potential particularly quickly and lose interest. However if you buy/rent quality mid tier stuff to start out you end up with a much better experience overall and progress much faster and get a truer reflection of the hobby.
兴趣爱好的补给——我试过的所有兴趣爱好，入门用的装备都非常垃圾，所以绝大多数人买了入门装备之后要不然就没过多久就放弃了，要不然就意识不到自己有多大的潜力，然后失去兴趣。然而，假如你能买或者租一套中档的设备来入门的话，你总体上可以获得更好的体验，并且进步更快，也能从爱好中得到更真实的反馈。
This is true for musical instruments, archery, longboarding, sailing, fishing, painting, brewing gaming.
这对于乐器，射箭，长板滑板，帆船，钓鱼，绘画，酿酒和游戏同样适用。

Maple syrup
枫糖浆
ThrowAwayDay24601
We get our maple syrup from a WWII veteran in his mid 90’s. He taps maple trees and the hearts of everyone who knows him.
我们从一个90多岁的二战老兵那里买枫糖浆。他收获的不止是枫糖，还有所有认识他的人的心。
He lives in a small cabin on the way to my lake house, in the rural north. He is known among people as the best maple syrup guy.
他住在通往我家湖边的房子路旁的一个小木屋里，在北方的乡下。当地人都知道他是做枫糖浆做的最好的。
It’s his passion in life, to cultivate maple syrup and maple products. He’s been doing it since the 1950’s.
做枫糖浆和枫树产品是他生命的热情。他从上世纪50年代就开始做。
Last time I was there he’d recently had a quadruple bypass, showed us the scar. He was like “I thought I was a goner, but I guess it wasn’t my time yet.” He’s also refused to be a sellout, and does it for love.
上次我去他那里的时候，他刚做了个冠状动脉搭桥手术，并且给我们看了一眼疤痕。他说“我以为我该走了，但看来还没到时候。”他也不想让自己的产品大卖，干这一行纯粹是因为热爱。
It is expensive, but still about 1/2 of the cost of buying pure maple from a specialty store. He also has a box where, if he’s not around, you can just take the product and leave cash or a a check, and trusts people not to rip him off.
它的产品虽然很贵，但仍然只有特产商店的纯枫糖浆的一半价格。他还留了个箱子，假如他不在的话，你可以直接拿走产品，把钱或者支票留在箱子里，他相信人们不会占他的便宜。
That was a tangent. But he is so cool I couldn’t help it.
有点跑题了。但他太酷了，我忍不住说这件事。
upxe: After I posted this I called my mom and asked about him. He passed recently. He was close to 100. He knew he had a bad heart. Last December, one day he didn’t come inside at dinner time. His wife found him in his maple syrup processing barn, laying there.
更新：我发了这篇帖子之后，给妈妈打了个电话问他的近况。他最近去世了。活了将近一百岁。他知道自己的心脏不好。去年冬天，他晚饭的时候没回去吃饭。他夫人在他处理糖浆的谷仓里看见了他，躺在地上。
But his wife and son are trying to make it again. There is also a beautiful memorial for him.
但他的夫人和儿子正打算接过他的衣钵。他们还给他建了一座好看的纪念馆。

Interesting thing about trusting people to pay, some economists did a study looking into people who have payment methods like that (one person sold bagels to an office, another sold fish, etc) and they found that almost nobody tried to rip them off because people individually realized that if everyone else collectively decided not to pay then the service would no longer be provided
关于相信别人会付款这件事，有些经济学家研究过那些像这样接受顾客付款的人们（有个给办公室卖百吉饼的，有个卖鱼的，等等），他们发现几乎没有人占他的便宜，因为他们每个人都很清楚，假如所有人都决定不花钱，那么这项服务就不会有人提供了。

A haircut, average hair stylists always fuck up my hair and it's always such a risk
理发，普通的发型师总是把我的头发弄得一团糟，并且每次理发都是在冒险
Rolten
Might depend on your hair. As a dude with regular hair the cheap Iranian dude around the corner cuts it absolutely fine. Went to a barber who was more than twice as expensive a while ago and it was not better.
取决于你的发质。作为我这种发质普通的人，伊朗人开的那种到处都有的便宜店就完全没问题。我之前去过一个专业做男子理发的理发店，贵两倍不止，也好到哪去。
IceFire909
also just depends if you want it actually styled or not.
还取决于你想不想让自己的头发有型。
i just get a nice easy shave, like 2 on the sides and 3 on the top or something. its hard to fuck that up and i dont have to spend as much time avoiding conversation
我就只剪那种简单的卡尺，两边留两份，顶上留三份之类的。这种简单的发型很难剪难看，我也不需要花太多时间，可以避免和理发师攀谈。

I just cut my own hair now. It's free and it looks like I want it to look about 90% of the time. I'll give myself a shitty haircut every once in a while, but typically my hair looks fine. I got tired of people fucking up my curly hair. I almost always had a bad haircut because for some bizarre-ass reason people in cosmetology school aren't taught how to cut textured or curly hair. I did some research, bought a decent set of clippers, and hacked away. It actually ended up not being half bad, but then I got better. I'm very happy with my hair now. Cutting my own hair also really came in handy when covid struck and closed down all the salons and barber shops in California for a year. I was always well groomed throughout lockdown. I don't want to ever pay for another haircut again.
我现在自己剪自己的头发。不用花钱，并且90%的情况下看起来都和我想要的结果相同。有时我会剪得很糟糕，但通常来说我的发型看起来都很不错。我受够了别人把我的自来卷剪得乱七八糟。我去理发几乎总是会剪得很难看，因为美容学校毕业的那帮人不知道为什么都不懂怎么剪卷发。我自己研究了一下，买了一套不错的推子，然后自己动手。虽然第一次有点糟糕，但我的手艺越来越好了。现在我对自己的发型非常满意。在疫情期间自己剪头发也非常好用，因为新冠疫情让加州的所有理发店都关了一年。我的头发在疫情期间总是理得很好。现在我再也不想花钱理发了。
Dr-Gooseman
Same, I've been doing it for years. I've tried cheap haircuts and expensive haircuts, and they are always a gamble. Why pay a ton of money if they might just fuck it up anyway? I can fuck it up for free.
一样，我也自己剪了好几年。我试过便宜的，也试过贵的，全都是在赌博。既然他们不管怎样都会给你搞砸了，那干嘛还要多花那么多钱呢？我自己一份钱不花也可以把我的头发搞砸。

You don’t need the most expensive helmet, but you should pay what it takes to get something with a decent certification (SNELL*, ECE, FIM) and not just DOT. Some technologies like MIPS are also well worth the extra spend.
你不需要买最昂贵的那种头盔，但你需要花足够的钱买拥有够格的认证（SNELL, ECE, FIM)，而不是只有DOT认证的头盔。MIPS等技术也值得你多花钱。

Every1 made fun of me when i got my shoei helmet because of the cost and them saying i dont need it and that i was paying for equipment that was made for racing. Sure enough a lady pulled out infront of me and i ended up in her backseat. Helmet saved my brain from going mashed potatoes. All my friends have shoei helmets now.
我第一次戴着Shoei牌的头盔出去的时候所有人都那我开玩笑，因为它太贵了，他们说我用不着，说我在花钱买竞赛级别的装备。但有一天一位女士在我面前突然停下了车，我最后撞到了她的后座里。是头盔让我的脑子没变成一滩土豆泥。现在我的朋友们都买Shoei牌的头盔了。

I remember being a little kid and sulking that I had to wear jeans and a heavy denim jacket on the motorcycle in summer when it was really hot. Then one day while alone my stepdad got knocked off and shredded through the elbow of his leather jacket; the leather went instead of his flesh, so there was only a wee bit of scrape on the skin, rather than down to the fucking bone.
我记得还是个孩子的时候，我会抱怨在炎热的夏天坐摩托车的时候也要穿牛仔裤和重磅牛仔夹克。然后有一天我继父自己骑摩托的时候被撞飞了，在马路上滑行了一路，皮夹克的胳膊肘都磨穿了；但磨穿的是皮夹克的皮，而不是他自己的皮，所以他的皮肤表面只有一点擦伤，而不是磨到骨头。

Fwi you might as well have been wearing nothing if not jeans. They shred instantly when you go down.
你想干什么就干什么，但假如你穿牛仔布的话其实跟不穿也没什么区别。它在地上一拖立刻就没了。
Also make sure you get a legit purpose built leather jacket. The stuff you buy at JC penny is too thin and made of crap leather that also shreds instantly.
还有，你得保证买一套管用的皮夹克。你在JC Penny买的那种东西太薄了，都是用边角料的皮子做的，立刻就会破开。
I've never been in a real high-speed crash but I've slid off twice in the same leather jacket and I still wear it, put some shoe polish on the scratches and kept riding.
我从来都没经历过高速行驶时的撞击，但我穿着同一件皮夹克从车上滑下去过两次，我仍然穿着它，只需要在磨损的部位打一点鞋油，就能继续穿着它骑车了。
