I’d love to crowdfund this.

I’ve been on a hunt for a perfect blank t shirt. After trying 10 different models either the fit or the material is not up to my standard.

I wonder how automatable manufacturing of T-Shirts is. Not sure if it is possible to automate sewing on a collar for example. Plus from what I’ve read a tubular t shirt is worse than front and back sewed at the sides cause it tends to stretch and rotate in one direction with time.

Anyway: continuous knitting is more automatable but introduces limitations just like injection moulding does. But the benefit of having a perfect fit might outweigh those limitations.

What’s your take on all of this?

To calculate +/- 3/6/9 months I shift by seasons. 3rd month of summer becomes 3rd month of winter.

That works well cause all months live in a primitive memory palace in my head: an analogue clock face with July at 12 and January at 6. So shifting by 6 means rotating the clock hand from 11 to 5 and immediately visualising what month it falls on.

This might sound inefficient to an LLM but human brains had image processing before language.

Google recently released a smartphone without a camera bump: Pixel 10a.

As an example loitering munition with foldable wings is already fairly compact. 2x storage space savings might not justify assembly space and effort

Checklists that I use in personal life: - Office packing list. A “do-check” checklist that takes 20s to run through right before leaving home - Checklists for multi-day business and leisure trips - Home maintenance checklist for filters, drains and other things that require regular maintenance.
