  • They're literally conspiring against you

  • Ha, my point was more that the bandsaw wasn't tracking straight so all the blanks on the bottom are bigger, the seamstress runs a hem 10mm (more or less) from the edge so the dimension remains out and the QA guy couldn't give a fuck because it's 8:30 on a Friday night and he's been working 21 days straight.

    Even the same garment is going to have a different size in different countries, large in Italy, medium in UK etc etc. the real size is somewhere in between, but no one makes that level of granularity.

    You should watch some of these garments being made, it's mind blowing.

    Cutting blanks and this is a tame/slow process Vs some other factories I've seen on the tube.

  • What makes you think it's so mechanised? Material is often cut on bandsaw in stacks inches thick, they're sewn on machine, sure, but manually controlled by a human. Different designers, different factories, different QA levels.

  • I read a thing (not sure if it's true) that the reason there's no pockets in women's clothing is that women have more diverse body shapes than men. Pockets are designed not to interrupt the lines of the garment where possible - it's more straightforward to place men's pockets because they're going to be in a more predictable place when worn Vs women where it ends up making the clothes fit poorly.

  • The main reason I like a window seat is because it means I don't have anyone freaking out beside me that I haven't stood up as soon as the plane stops rolling. I'm just gonna sit here and read thanks.

  • Neil Young Leaves Facebook & Instagram Over “Unconscionable” Policies for AI Chatbot Conversations With Children

  • If we remove all context from the sentence, sure it could read that way. Do you regularly remove all context before reading? It's certainly a strange way to word that question if that's the intent.

  • And it's perfectly possible to ask that question without coming across like an ass.

  • You don't have to be super nice, are you trying to tell me a multi paragraph rant is less effort than:

    His pet project is huge, no doubt and we owe him at debt. You don't get to stack up all the good things and all the bad things and say the good pile outweighs the bad, therefore this person doesn't behave like an ass. Many of the other contributors make significant effort, are not paid for their work and spend their free time doing it. They deserve respect as a bare minimum.

    "If you don't like it, get out" has this ever made anything better?

    Some people behave like assholes and hide behind calling everyone else snowflakes and thin skinned when they can't handle the response.

  • These are not mutually exclusive things.

  • Google search boss says AI isn’t killing search clicks

    Jump

  • Right... But you're not operating under the misapprehension that Google is somehow an uncommon choice for search. I agree it's gotten crap in a lot of cases, but equally I also know just about everyone uses it for search.

  • I believe it, chiefly because I read the slop answer and then have to check 5 more pages to figure out if it's spouting nonsense or not.

  • Do people still use the most popular search engine for search? I get you're trying to be factitious but it comes across as naff.

  • Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics

    Jump

  • The question comes down to whether a phone with a chip in it is subject to the tariff or just raw chips being imported. No one is putting a US chip in it, because US chips don't exist. The foundries to make them don't exist.

    If the assembled phone is subject to a "phone" or "general" tariff at 30% and not the 100% chip tariff then it incentivises manufacturing in china vs the US is what I think the OP is saying.

  • Is anyone using a BMCU

    Jump

  • It's been slow going I'm afraid (not the fault of the BMCU). What I've learned is some kind of buffer/auto rewinding spool holder is needed for the P1S for the filament retraction and that's making things too big for my enclosure, so I'm going down the route of solving that problem first.

    On the BMCU side of things, everything is printed and ready to assemble, just need some time 😄
