Especially in soft goods/apparel, where there is tons of waste. You have to dye an entire bolt of fabric for a custom color, things get air-freighted constantly, cut patterns leave tons of waste, etc.

Oh just something that popped into my mind about manufacturing and sustainability. Obviously building products with more durability/serviceability is good, but there are other ways to limit the impact of manufacturing

Yeah I heard an interesting point yesterday re: AI environmental impact and someone was pointing out that if they use AI to simulate colors/variants for their clothing business and the alternative would be dyeing fabric, making the garments, and air freighting them, so maybe AI is a plus here?

I try not to be a "they don't make 'em like they used to" but for a long time stuff like that really was way over built (in the best way possible)

The new ones are also like $700! This was maybe $50

This is the plot of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning/Final Reckoning

Turns out the "it can mix anything" does not, in fact, include 3 batches of architectural grade gingerbread

Midmod gingerbread house was definitely worth it, though

Gears aren't supposed to look like this

Just rebuilt the transmission in a 2006 KitchenAid, AMA

No motorcycle helmet laws usually made it more of a "then"

Saw this absolutely pristine Aztek in the wild just now and was so moved I had to make this

Indoor smoking was allowed in New Hampshire when I moved there in 2007!

Do you realize that what you are articulating is an expectation of unilateral disarmament by Israel? How is that a reasonable concept of what a "ceasefire" means?

This happened actually. It was announced at the White House. The g7 and the UN Security Council asked Hamas to agree to the deal Israel had accepted. The details of the plan, in the form of photographs of the actual text of the signed agreement, were shown on Israeli television.

The other important thing to note is that basically every person who talked shit about Biden was someone whose last direct involvement in politics was under Obama and had been sidelined by Biden (e.g. Pod Bros)

Literally everyone who had worked with Biden from AOC to Republicans said he was sharp

Oh wow is he still coaching?

*sigh* fine

Yeah great outcome to have generational sociopath Dan Hurley make a final four

A man's got to have a code

That's right I'm a gardenmaxxing plantcel

"it's ribbed for the passengers' pleasure"

This livery is absolute garbage. United bravely asked the question "what if we put a cock ring on an airplane?", and their designers stepped up to answer

Meanwhile the biggest citrus in the yard is *finally*, at the age of like 10, producing blossoms

This tree is nowhere near big enough to grow this many fruit but it sure is shooting its shot

....do you think electrons aren't fungible?

J has California, Mexico, Texas, and Florida, plus all of central America, it's not a bad option

Whoa whoa whoa, you gotta slow down, have you even asked the CEO of Big Dogs LLC for permission to use his trademarks?

The dreamliner has a little bit of style but nothing like our queen

It's such a better silhouette than the A380. Boeing used to have so much style
