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)
Ultra-agree, the thing that really makes no sense here is softballing violence because it happens with an intimate partner.
If we treated it like every other violence you wouldn’t need a special one-off patch law since their rights would be automatically restricted by the prohibited person laws.
I actually believe that constitutionality is an important factor in our system of checks and balances.
Unfortunately we haven’t been very good at amending the constitution in recent history so we can’t add new checks and/or balances.
No one wants to do so because it means relinquishing some power, and possibly loosing marketshare uh I mean voter approval.
Hmm maybe not, since Bruen implements the history/tradition check which is the basis for the felony prohibition.
I do, however, still think that domestic violence exceeds a misdemeanor and should be a felony like any other assault.
Without saying anything about politics, environment, or source:
Why, for the love of Satan, does this graph have only 2 data points per source?
Why use a line chart 📉 for that?
This is clear bar chart territory 📊.
Yeah the tradition scrutiny is concerning but there’s not much to do about it.
It seems that strict scrutiny would still have been serviceable.
Oh boy, what can’t we put ads in?
Can we get MtDew Green Lights with Coca-Cola Red lights?
The spacebar on laptops is free game, just asking for it.
It really is a shame that I can still buy bedsheets that aren’t branded with a corporate advertising campaign.
Not 1-to-1, but yes, it’s already a limited-rights area.
You can see my reply to SeaJ which gives more context I think.
The area this person was in is already an area where your rights are severely curtailed. You can be searched at any time, for instance.
I actually fully expect many of these laws to be struck down, eventually, as they are pretty clearly in violation of the new tradition scrutiny brought on by Bruen. Heller is probably already gearing up for it lol.
What I expect to stay is stuff like the ban on the Federal areas like the mall, as it would likely fall under the “sensitive places” allowance. It will be interesting to see if the Washington DC ban on carry in any place that holds an alcohol license covers that, however.
Personally, I think that if you set up a gun-free zone you should actually fence/wall it off and have security to ensure it stays that way. All the federal areas that prohibit carry are already 2A and 4A free zones, so it’s not really a stretch to move from “you may be searched at all times” to “you will be searched every time”.
Based on pics it looks like a rifle that’s not legal in DC due to it having too many features, and probably the named/clone ban.
Being from Atlanta I presume the fellow did not take the 16 hour class to put in for a DC carry permit, which doesn’t let you open carry or carry on the mall.
That’s a felony for the firearm, carrying it, one for each bullet, and each magazine over 10 rounds.
They couldn’t find this man’s gun, but they confiscated my Leatherman when my bags got bumped from checked to carry-on.
He discovered the weapon during the flight between San Francisco and Hong Kong, it said.
So he made it passed TSA with an entire firearm.
Not just that, but he doesn’t keep track of where his firearms are.
For an honest mistake, so much had to go wrong.
Yes, typically with two entirely separate disks, not just partitions on the same physical disk.
If you cannot trust yourself, then do not provide yourself temptation
