Goddamnit you had to link a restaurant supply site, now I wanna scrap all of my dishes and kit my kitchen out with nothing but what looks like it came from some old roadside diner.
I would really truly genuinely love a pair of skillets and/or frying pans, both stainless steel (so they cook the same), but one non-stick, but otherwise identical so I can interchange lids. Like, if I could find a pair of frying pans and a pair of saute pans (or even a saute pan in stainless steel), I would be very tempted to spend way too much on them.

Stainless steel and nonstick? Is that a thing?
I assume so? I mean, the idea would be two pans that are identical except that one has had nonstick coating applied to the cooking surface, so that they otherwise heft and conduct heat the same way.
Switching between, for instance, aluminum and cast iron can be tricky if you're not familiar with the materials. They will cook stuff very differently.

Scanpan do stainless regular and non-stick. And you'll get to spend lots of money, just like you wanted! (they do make some very nice stuff, though)
I have a regular nonstick (that has lost a lot of its nonstickiness over the years) and a stainless steel pan, and the stainless pan lid fits perfectly on the nonstick.
When I was a trainee chef I got myself a nice Gustav, asked one of the chefs to run the steel over it so I didn't immediately fuck it up, and he rammed it point-first into the steel.
6 or so years later when I got married I spent some gift money on a few Globals, recounted the story of how the chef took the point off my new knife when I got it, and then immediately bonked my new cook's knife on a tile, bending the point.
No moral, other than that I shouldn't be trusted with sharp objects.
Also 15 years on I still use the Gustav because the Global is too long.
A couple years back, one of my chefs told a story about one of his buddies; Dude brought his favorite knife to his head chef, a wizened Japanese guy who probably had Jesus as a sous chef, the man was fucking ancient. Anyhoo, favorite knife had seen some better days and the young chef asked the older chef to help him tune his knife up, get it back into proper fighting shape. What does the old guy do? Takes the knife, hmmm, hawwww, let's see here, and proceeds to start stropping it on the fucking concrete, like he's polishing a cutthroat razor on a leather belt.
Needless to say, I'm hearing this story third-hand and my stomach basically fell out of my body, I can't even imagine what the young chef was thinking.
Old dude proceeds to take out his own personal water stones, starts working the steel like nobody's business and within half an hour, bam, razor's edge, mirror finish.
I don't know what he did or how he did it, but it must have taken a supreme effort of will not to choke the old dude; chef's knives are like ... that's your baby, your child, your spouse ... you spend more time with that piece of steel than you do with your own family.

I mean, there was probably an actual benefit to roughing up the surface, but lowkey we both know old dude was just fucking with that kid to see how he would react.
This is the one I use, the only complaint I have is I can't toss it in the dishwasher.
that's the one I have too! for like, eight years now. Everything else in my kitchen is and was cheap ikea shit, but I knew that a kitchen knife is a waste to not spend money on (but, like, to a reasonable degree
I'm guessing the principal behind this is "if you get enough of the bees in the box, the pheromone signal gets strong enough that the rest will congregate in it of their own accord".
My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.

Basically yes. When bees swarm like this, it's because a new queen has completed her mating flight and is ready to establish a colony. The workers from the old colony will follow her scent and, after the queen finds a good place such as this nice safe box, they will begin collecting food and raise the first generation of workers the queen produces.

It dosent seem like he got very many bees in the bee hole.
Perhaps this gentleman is just not cut out to be a bee boxer.

You don't need to get that many in the box, because the dimensions of the box are carefully designed to thrill and delight bees looking for a place to settle down. A swarm is pretty much just hanging out waiting for a scout bee to return and let them know that she found an enclosed space that they can fill with wax and honey. Other scouts are dancing about the hive sites they found, and the jazziest dancers get the most follow-up scouts sent to their locations, until a consensus is reached and the whole swarm follows the waggle dance instructions to the hollow tree or whatever.
What's going to happen at that box is that dozens of scouts are going to check it out simultaneously, then come out frantically twerking about how they found an impossibly good hive location extremely close to the current location of the swarm. In terms of bee democracy, that's like all the superPACs suddenly melding into one unholy lobbying group and pouring trillions of dollars into renaming a single post office in a small Midwestern town. The motion will pass very quickly, all the bees will climb inside, and the beekeepers can cart them off to the apiary.
victorinox knives are absolutely bonkers good for the price but the handles on them tend to be too chunky for comfort, imo
the stuff the handles are made of is also really brittle
I love my Vixtorinox 8" chefs knife with the synthetic handle. For my hands its the perfect height to get a good forward grip on the blade and a good bevel to get a nice rocking motion when chopping. Also I don't feel bad learning how to sharpen knives on one that only costs $40.

Do Americans know you can just drink and hang out with dogs without having to play games?
I mean, they're wasting valuable puppy cuddle time!

I was originally gonna make a joke about the winner getting to drink, cause like that can be a fun thing to do in social settings, but I went blank in trying to come up with a way to make it sound like the person holding the puppy was the loser. there is just no way to spin that and be believable.
I have known dudes to spend that much, but they likely only have it at home or maybe if they're michelin starred
you will get just as much out of a $150 knife that will last longer than you do and will keep a great edge
anything passed a wustof or henckels is vanity rather than functionality or quality
EDIT: but yeah, any kitchen or butcher I've ever been in the back of has those style knives right there for whoever doesn't bring their own(so almost everybody)
These fancy squatters have the same taste in cutlery as that douchebag, Phantom Limb.

Well. I mean. You can....

Just lucky there, I guess.
