My recommendation is add the water you want him to drink to his food.

Let me give you an annoying example. Not the powder room but I discovered that a pet had puddled in the cabinet under the stove. Why? Who the heck knows. I ruined the finish on the cabinet floor splashing around enzyme trying to reach all the odor by recreating the original accident, only to oxidize the whole thing in desperation with an ozone generator, which broke up what was the last of the urea. I then bought a silicone tray to cover the now obviously water damaged cabinet floor plus contain the ice cream cone my future grandchild will inevitably dump into that same cabinet for no reason whatsoever. Total cost of this fiasco well over $50 not counting the depreciation if I don’t end up making sure no one can tell this ever happened.

I mean — cabinets.

I’m not sure LVP can last as long as floor tile or polyaspartic? I’m planning on polyaspartic because it’s supposed to wear like hell and I need a maintenance break somewhere. Every time an appliance needs to be replaced (which happens) it’s an opportunity for the floor to get torn up or dented. My powder, kitchen, breakfast and laundry rooms are continuous and they all have badly worn floor.

I should disclose that I abuse Crocs in the dishwasher, but I like a clean shoe.

I can get a few years out of Crocs Athens but sometimes there is construction adhesive visible.

Despite cash flow issues I will periodically panic and invest in more leftover and used due to Crocs deciding not to make them. They are the flip cut correctly for my feet.

Is there a dating app where they take some psych tests and then get their testosterone checked?

I have a rotary line and while it definitely won't last me for life, it will extend the life of my dryer.

When my dryer stopped heating last year, I ordered a $20 set of commonly expiring replacement parts from Amazon, and probably swapped them all out, or at least a few of them even though only one of them fixed the problem. Can't really remember.

I'm not going to recommend the dryer, it was chosen by my ex and I'm sure it will need new parts every few years because it's all buttons and beeps.

I've had front loaders and I don't care for them. I never molded the washer but I was careful to always prop it open. Still, a top loader is more versatile. In terms of longevity of textiles, sometimes soaking in very hot sodium hydrosulfite soda ash solution can suddenly be the thing that removes a stubborn stain from a synthetic sweater without removing its color, or removing color & stains from a cotton quilt leaving it a lovely different color entirely with no stains at all.

The fewer computer-ish things, the less there is to break.

Look at older ones specifically, not the new kind.
