I very much appreciate the effort to write your repsonse, and if you’re out of time or energy I completely understand.

So if I’m understanding you right, we’re 3-dimensional creatures living in a 4-dimensional universe, with the 4th dimension being… time? And time behaves completely different from the other 3 dimensions, which is why we can’t just disregard or freeze it when trying to determine a center?

That could sort of explain why it’s inherently impossible to determine the center - but that doesn’t rule out the existence of a geometric center of the universe, right?

I’m not sure if I follow the balloon analogy. Sure, you can’t find the center on it’s surface. But somewhere within the balloon, there is a center. It might be virtually impossible to determine the center while actively inflating the balloon, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any center? What makes the rest of the universe fundamentally different from an inflating balloon? I’m genuinely curious.

Shouldn’t it be (at least theoretically) possible to find some sort of geometric center where - on average - the rest of the universe is expanding away from?

Yeah, but it’ll be a random family member - not necessarily a woman or LGBTQ+.

I much prefer him privately fuming rather than publicly fuming.

So how do I go about finding some of these soon-to-be-banned posts? I want my old Reddit account to be part of the statistics 😁

Yeah, my t-shirts usually also last around 2 years… but isn’t that fairly normal? Obviously it depends on how many you rotate between. Do you have any other (sturdier) recommendations?

For what it’s worth, they’ve taken steps to increase the durability of their t-shirts, including printing the tag rather than sewing it into the neck. Still, I appreciate that they’re on the slightly expensive side when compared to most high street brands. Unfortunately, they don’t have sales, ever - see their statement below. However, you can get 10% on your first order by subscribing to their newsletter.

Regarding sales: “We believe in a future where overconsumption is replaced with a more responsible way of living. In every aspect of how we do business, we strive to be as responsible as possible for the benefit of society and the planet. Sales rely on a business model rooted in overproduction, overconsumption, and hidden corporate margins - that is not what we are about. Instead, we believe in offering high-quality products at a fair price all year round. Clothes that will last for years to come. They are sustainable, colorful, and uncomplicated.”

I appreciate that pressure cookers has the potential to reduce energy consumption by shortening the cooking time. Having said that, doesn’t it seem a bit against the whole BIFL-movement to choose an electric pressure cooker rather than just a stovetop pressure cooker with far fewer possible points of failure? I’m sure the electric ones have a host of different features, but still… Simple stuff tend to last better.
