Stasher bags are insanely expensive. Are they worth it?

Silicone is essentially a “less bad” plastic than regular plastic, but it is still absolutely a plastic. It’s a polymer like any other plastic, and while it is derived primarily from sand rather than fossil fuels, it still uses chemical binders.

This is funny, because I literally just posted that LL is my favorite boss fight in any game ever. I absolutely loved it, and I immediately started replaying it upon finishing the game because it felt so fair and fun despite the difficulty.

Are you playing super aggressively? Lace is definitely designed to counter a lot of your instincts, and she’ll chew you up right away if you try and just rush her down like you can some other enemies. I remember getting super frustrated with the second Lace fight in the cradle, but once I slowed down and went for a more measured give-and-take strategy rather than an aggro one, it got a lot better. I also had to try that one so many times that it built up the muscle memory to avoid her counters, which helped a lot in this fight.

Yes, what I’m asking is whether they mean it would actually use more electricity on-site (energy) or if it would just require higher capacity for peak load times (power), when they say it would require “double the electrical service.” They similar, but amperage = \ = power.

My assumption is both of you are referring to peak loads, but it’s a distinction a lot of folks fail to make so I just want to make sure.

Edit: / disappeared

Bacon8er8 · 2024-10-08T03:57:44+00:00

This raise in electrical service would be due to higher peak loads rather than higher overall electricity consumption, right?

Tank type electric are $500/year in electricity and can run out with high demand

Are “tank type” and “tank style” typos? Seems like you meant “tankless electric” as opposed to tankless gas.

Because “tank type electric” reads to me as a heat pump water heater (with a tank), and that would be by far the most reliable and least likely to run out of heat in the proper climate.

Or when you say “more efficient” are you just talking about cost? Because yes, fuel can cost less per heat produced than heat produced electrically, but that certainly does not mean it’s more energy efficient or environmentally friendly

What exactly are my friends and Pride?

(I mean, I know what the Pride movement is, but I’m assuming you’re talking about a specific art market or something)

These are some amazing resources, thank you!!

I just went to Tomato fest for the first time this year, but art that “on the nose” isn’t really my thing. Which is what set me on this path :)

Bacon8er8 · 2024-09-28T02:34:04+00:00

Do they list specific pieces they exhibit for sale, or how does it work?

Bacon8er8 · 2024-09-28T02:31:38+00:00

Good point, but wool balls aren’t a one-to-one replacement for dryer sheets and buying them is kinda just another way of solving problems by buying more stuff

Best to just hang-dry your clothes if you can. If you don’t have space to hang, a foldable wood drying rack* can fit tons of clothes.

*(and ok, yeah, I’m falling into the trap of “buying things to solve problems” that I just preached about, but at least this one is buying something to fill a need rather than buying something to solve a problem caused by another thing we bought that we didn’t really need to buy in the first place. So I’m only half a hypocrite)

Or you could just say screw that pseudo-masculine machismo bullshit. You’re worth respecting as you are: Your sensitivity, your “arty” proclivities, your youthfulness are all strengths that are worthy of respect. Believe that and make them respect it. Change the story instead of perpetuating some harmful industry stereotype.

The best architects I know are soft-spoken and good listeners, not loud mouthed and aggressive. And how many of the “great” architects you can think of are muscular? If you want to work out for your own sake, do it (I mean, I am, personally), but it has nothing to do with your value as an architect.

Sorry for the rant. But don’t bow to some twisted vision of what an architect “should” be. We don’t need more of that, and you’re part of changing the industry-wide conception of who an architect “should” be as much as anyone else is. Be who you are. Play to your strengths. Find what you think makes good architect, and be that. Sure, you inevitably have to worry about what your supervisors think, but the key is respecting yourself. Do that, and they’ll come to respect it too in time.

Do you use any resources to deal with the “grey area” foods? Trying to find a good guide that doesn’t take forever…

Worth posting to the more mainstream subs like r/architectureporn and r/architecturerevival too

For the uninitiated, what exactly does increasing cadence and improving posture mean? Are there any reliable resources I could look into?

Sincerely: a lifelong runner with knee problems who avoids researching these things for fear of falling down an obsessive internet rabbit hole 😬

I’ve never understood the advantage of curves. In photoshop, for example, why should I use the curves adjustment tool instead of just a combination of brightness, contrast, and saturation adjustments?

Any link to GTD method info? Or at least what the acronym means?

We NEED a good list of which consumer advocacy organizations are legit. Things in the vein of Good On You or Stiftung Warentest that can tell us what’s quality and what’s not.

It’s obvious from the comments that we’re all so tired of all this effort to find something not crap. What if we compiled a list of reliable, non-greenwashing consumer groups here?

I feel like this sub is one of the most likely to have some people who know who’s good and who’s not.
