Big Journalism wants you to believe journalists are subject matter experts. They're not.

Unfortunately extremely high water usage to grow cotton, and a lot of it is grown in places that need that water for other things (RIP Aral Sea).

Based on the article we should use flax aka linen, which I suppose makes sense. Linen was once a finery due to the excessive effort needed to produce it, but now we have machinery.

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

I buy very few clothes, so I save up to spend more on ones I think will last longer.

It's very burdensome when something doesn't last long enough to reach that price-equilibrium point compared to simply purchasing more, cheaper clothing.

I am currently almost out of socks and panties because of this :(

That is correct.

Ethics come at a premium. Ethics are a luxury good.

It is a pretty good article but I have some nitpicks:

They say both that you cannot decide in a vacuum and fast fashion uses synth materials to make disposable clothing. I think given these two ideas, the carbon usage for one garment of wool vs one garment of nylon should include all the "waste" garments produced as well. Since, when you buy from a company that practices this, the impact is from the whole process, as they are keen to point out. That includes the sweatshop to landfill garments.

Personally I like not wearing a microplastics generator.

I am also curious about hemp clothing.

There are mulesing free certificates, and some companies go the extra mile.

Varusteleka is pretty open about their wool, but they don't have the biggest selection.

(varusteleka, I've called you out twice on this account, sponsor me lmao)

Socialization and temperament, plus some kitties are real snugglebugs lol

Ears neutral, whiskers forward, mouth closed.
All signs of friendliness and acceptance.

Eyes are fully open so kitty is aware and alert, but pupils aren't in attack mode.

Seems fine, kitty is probably going to be annoyed about the whisker touching if it keeps happening tho.

Thanks for my $3 for taking away my ability to run linux on PS3 :(

It shouldn't matter as long as the sites are developed only with open standards.

We already have webcompat for anything truly broken.

If they revoke your license you should get a full refund tbh.

If it's worth $n to access something, then the damages for revoking it should also be $n.

Not sure why it happens.

Just using it on fedora as installed from the repos.

I tried it and made a few things for around the house.

It's fine, but it's Invasive, and so cloud connected that I got really fed up with it.

I would pay them the same price for an offline only version.

It's a very sticky watermark. If you open and save a file in educational, the watermark cannot be removed even if you open it in paid commercial version later.

I spent a lot of time in free cad and am now trying Bricscad. I wanted to use Alibre because it's way cheaper but it's windows only and I couldn't get it running in Proton or Wine.

I like freecad a whole lot, but I couldn't stand the number of crashes any longer :(

I couldn't find any other sane priced software that wasn't Cloud-integrated (looking at you, dassault).

No, these devices hold water at the appropriate temperature for long periods of time using extremely good insulation. They provide hot water on-demand after reaching temperature and are used in a way that is somewhat different from kettles.

I never have been able to.

I used to be able to boil my water with electrons from a nuclear reactor.

Now that I moved, all my electrons get excited by high tech coal..... Oh...

Since you're talking specifically about the presidential election, I actually am helping my candidate, since if I and others can get 1% of the popular vote for someone, then they can get easier access to ballots, debates, and federal funding next time.

You can always skip offices that don't have a good candidate.

Spoiled votes are tracked as a separate statistic!

Sometimes I have to write someone in, but it still counts as a vote!
