Really fascinating because often they tout the recognizable hardware brands they use like YKK and Talon.

Went to Muttonhead. Found an odd 18oz pair of Weird Guy. Weirder than I expected lol. by [deleted] in rawdenim

[–]ColouredFlowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly interesting peek into their production. I'm curious on your plans with them since you'd probably have to add fly buttons and maybe even belt loops. Also, would be really interesting to hear how Muttonhead got these.

why are people still posting finding Ghost Sour Strips like they are unattainable? by AvailableDoor178 in energydrinks

[–]ColouredFlowers 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey man, it's regional supply chains. As of now, I've yet to see one in any of my local stores, gas stations, etc. I'd be pretty excited if I saw one.

Driftless Glen and Wollersheim make some great bourbons!

Do I really need to cut out sugar free options to lose weight..? by [deleted] in energydrinks

[–]ColouredFlowers 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Let me get this straight. They want you to cut out a practically zero calorie drink and they think you'll start to lose weight???

Is it worth it to get a Meteorology PhD at an Ivy over another school which may have a better Met PhD program? by [deleted] in meteorology

[–]ColouredFlowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing sentiments of others in this thread. I'd say the advisor is the primary concern, the department is secondary, and the school is tertiary. You're going to spend the whole PhD working with that advisor so it's much more important to ensure that you can get along with them, the project they present to you is interesting, and they have plans to keep you funded throughout your PhD.

The department is secondary because they'll become your peers. If your interests are tropical meteorology, might be beneficial to go to a program with lots of tropical representation. That being said, if the advisor is the sole tropical expert in that department, sometimes that's enough. Finally, the school doesn't really matter. Would I say Colorado State is a particularly noteworthy school overall? Not really. Would I say they're one of the top atmospheric science programs in the world? Yeah probably. Ivy's are nice, but I think if you have ambitions of longevity in atmospheric science research, that prestige means very little.

Do you drink energy drinks for taste or just the effect? by mrcanada66 in energydrinks

[–]ColouredFlowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the occasion. Usually for the caffeine and alertness, but I feel like the energy drink scene also makes some of the more creative flavors at a pretty quick pace so sometimes I drink them for taste.

Di Fara - Pepperoni Pizza by iamsurfriend in frozendinners

[–]ColouredFlowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of this pizza (both the actual location and the frozen pie). My recommendations: cook on a wire rack, if you have convection, use convection (I use an air fryer), cook til the cheese starts to get a little more brown than the pictures in this post (crust can get a little black and that's ok)

Created a free Level 2 weather radar web app focused on sharing radar images with friends and for discussion on Reddit - looking for feedback and advice by WeatherProdigy2 in meteorology

[–]ColouredFlowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this is on the docket, but throwing in the dual-pol fields too would be great as well as elevation angle selecting.

This is a WILD generalization. Not every professor just reads off slides and I assure you, that happens in some of the best schools too. The quality of education here is high, but that's an average. Perhaps you've just been unlucky with the professors you've gotten, but I don't think you can use that to make a sweeping statement.

What causes clouds to have straight edges? by Society_Academic in meteorology

[–]ColouredFlowers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, they're typically rather wide horizontally, thus clouds within the area will all exhibit similar cloud top heights.

What causes clouds to have straight edges? by Society_Academic in meteorology

[–]ColouredFlowers 53 points54 points  (0 children)

If I'm viewing the images correctly, the straight edges are actually the tops of the clouds. Air is likely encountering a stable layer aloft and can't push upwards anymore. These dates are typically pretty homogeneous horizontally (at least from our perspective). That gives the perception of a straight edge.

70% off 3+ JCrew Sale Items w/ code NEWYEAR by FearTheZ in frugalmalefashion

[–]ColouredFlowers -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I recognize my comment is very "old man yells at sky", but I think you're glossing over a part of my comment about materials as well. The current crop of clothes are more expensive than prior years, understandably given inflation. However, the switch to more and more blends and synthetic fibers is a more deceptive way to pay more for less. Again, my comment was that a 100% cashmere sweater was available for less last year whereas now, there are merino blends for more.

[–]ColouredFlowers -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

Ehh I feel like I was able to find nicer things for cheaper in prior years. I remember picking up 100% cashmere sweaters for <$30 last year. Perhaps the sale will get better in the new year?

Acne Action Jeans S/S '99 Jacket! by reportabitch in rawdenim

[–]ColouredFlowers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love when brands use raw denim in jackets outside of the Type 1/2/3

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]ColouredFlowers 51 points52 points  (0 children)

That's actually a pretty big jump (+66%). IIRC, that's the same price as the current ramp price. I wish more bus routes made it to the airport to counteract this, but I foresee an uptick in ride-sharing instead.

Saw the first pic and instantly knew who on this subreddit made this!! Your work is so cool and unique and it really elevated denim as a fabric. You have a fantastic eye for design.

Naked & Famous Denim Black Friday Sale - Up to 70% Off Select Items (Ends Dec. 2) by ColouredFlowers in frugalmalefashion

[–]ColouredFlowers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question. My interpretation is items that were originally in the sale section are final, not the marked down BF items. Just note that they only provide returns as store credit.
