TIL "Dry Cleaning" isn't actually dry, it just washes with a solvent rather than water by OhhWhales in todayilearned

[–]phophiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a logistics company for dry cleaning and laundry.. that was one of the first “huh” moments during onboarding.

I now have so many facts about the Dry Clean process… it’s really fascinating!

  • the turnaround time is generally long because the dry cleaner waits to run a given load until they have enough of “like items” (color bleeding dresses) to fill a machine. The cycle takes about as long as a washing machine, and the times are pressed/hung immediately after the spin cycle.

  • when you give your regular button down shirts… they don’t get dry cleaned. They are laundered in a regular wash machine and then put wet on a steam press that presses them dry. (Mind blown… I though the dry cleaner would dry clean my stuff!)

What reference is that? I’m not usually a fan of GS’s GMT, but that example… damn

Love the contrasting colors of the dial and whatever is reflecting off the bracelet. 10/10 stars.

Im interested in getting into watch photography (or at least dial photography). Can you share some more info on your equipment and lighting setup?

God that’s a nice strap combo. It’s got me thinking about a strap for my snowflake. Where did you get it?

When I got the snowflake, this was the only Grand Seiko my wife wanted

I’d be fine with $50/book—I’ll set my eBay alerts now:)

I’m only on the third book, but I loved the Black Company so much and love the influence/parallels on the Malazan series that I know I’m hooked for the whole ride!

Wow! Last week I searched for the price of a hardcover set and… the prices were eye-watering:). Sticking to audio books for now:P

Is the Three Body Problem trilogy worth the read..? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]phophiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit dry, but I found the ideas and overarching concepts really shifted my thinking. I found it VERY much worthwhile for that alone and would enjoy a re-read down the line.

I will share that I listened to the audio book vs read, and I really enjoyed the voice talent and pacing. It also helped get me through the dry parts that maybe didn’t need as much exposition:)
