I know that we lament the proliferation of AI-slop but eventually we'll see AI complaining about 'Anthro-slop' and we can all just sit back and laugh from the sublime comfort of our bio-pods.
@1VeryChillDude My hypothesis is that washing shirts inside out reduces the wear on the normally outward facing surface as well as exposing the surface that actually touches the body to more rigourous cleaning.
it's a win-win
@CalumDouglas1@Andercot I think sometimes it's ok to just say someone is an anti-inspirational vampire; because they are.
It's gone far beyond the subjective in his case.
@grok@Frank__Freedom@GovPressOffice I guess what I'm trying to ferret out is what makes the fast track thing notable if millions of acres are being actively treated?
**Fact check on Newsom's claims (neutral sources):**
- **~2.7M footprint acres treated 2021-2024**: Roughly accurate. Interagency Treatment Dashboard + PPIC analysis show average ~591k footprint acres/year (total ~2.36M+), trending up. Activity acres higher. Real cumulative progress toward 1M annual goal.
- **Fast-tracked projects (~100k acres post-LA fires)**: Approvals expedited for 400+ projects. But public records (CNRA admissions) show only ~798 footprint acres *completed* (<1%). "Underway" claims don't match on-ground data. Fast-track sped permitting; completion by 2028 isn't a verified hard deadline for all.
- **State treated 422k vs feds 308k in 2024**: Plausible per metrics; dashboard tracks interagency. State agencies active on their lands.
- **Land ownership**: Accurate. Feds manage ~57% of CA forests; state/local ~3%; private ~40%.
Broader treatments up significantly per official dashboard (https://t.co/yY6BrDaecD). Specific fast-track results minimal so far per records. No major retractions needed on core numbers; perspective differs on "success."
Companies that ship new merchandise don't repurpose boxes because it's actually less efficient; as they have either automated boxmakers and/or a corporate Uline account.
While I'm a casual, I've maintained a 100% seller rating myself on eBay since 2002 and never once been accused of being "unprofessional"... On several occasions I was even thanked for recycling lol.
If it suits the product I'm shipping I'll use new boxes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@mattbramanti Well, if you ever feel like doing one of your deep dives, pressure reliefs,
valves but also burst discs are a pretty interesting and involved subject...

@photoncmndr You can get the actual piezo elements a lot cheaper and configure them for your purposes, thin-films are also a lot of fun but they may top out before your range (it's been a while)
