  • Sizing has got much worse in recent years, ever since the uprise of ‘fast fashion’. Its in companies best (profit) interests to have less sizes that covers other similar sizes. What used to be a XS, S & M may now just be a “S” size, but made with slightly more room in some areas and stretchier fabric to allow for it to fit as a slightly larger size. Why carry 7 sizes when you can carry 3 sizes?
    Couple this with clothes & goods being made with lower cost manufacturing techniques and materials so they dont last as long, fit as well or resist as much wear & tear.

    Profits, profits, profits.


  • If you after carbonated go a whiskey highball.

    Having said this an old fashioned is my go-to as i am a neat scotch drinker typically and this fits well (especially while i am out somewhere and dont want to pay “bar prices” for scotch).
    And since the old fashioned is a bit flexible i migrate from rye to bourbon to scotch and loop back again, it keeps it interesting and its super simple if you want to drink it at home.
    All you need is bourbon/scotch/rye, bitters, cherry or orange peel & simple syrup (make your own with sugar+water).

    Too sweet? Use less simple syrup or use rye whiskey.
    More flavour? Use more bitters.
    Like smokey? Squeeze the orange peel zest over a lighter flame

    Honestly why 3d print any tools that are expected to handle significant force, its much more practical to make a hammer out of a sturdy bit of wood and shape a bit of steel to go on the end than it is to print one and expect it not to break the first time you use it. What if the nail is still sticking out and needs to be knocked in again a second or third time? Especially in a country where every hardware store sells hammers and there are hammer club catch ups where you can also get them from other hammer enthusiasts.
    The whole 3D printed hammer thing is sensational journalism hyped up over a theoretical issue that really isnt an actual issue.




  • Yeah sure, it will go like this:
    2025 - blue states join Canada
    2026 - red states aka the remainder of the USA face growing unrest as their funding handouts are cut off
    2026 - tech companies in the province of Canifornia stop sharing new tech breakthroughs with USA due to posturings by their increasingly expanding military industrial complex and proposed weapon developments
    2027 - huge skills drain in USA as health professionals and remaining scientists flee to Canada
    2028 - Gilead starts amassing troops and staging ‘special military exercises’ on their border with Canada
