  • France Adopts Landmark Law Targeting Ultra-Fast Fashion

    Jump

  • Well, ultra fast fashion is ultra fast. It doesn't rely on a season to season trend cycle, but micro-trends that are constantly changing, making the stuff you just bought obsolete - you need to buy again!! /s. You can be disappointed by 6 months, but I'd wager UFF clothes are worn much less than that.

    The market normalised frequent purchase of clothes for us consumers. No one treats buying clothes as seriously as buying say household electronics. No one treats repairs that seriously if replacing is so easy. So no one really ends up knowing what to look for on a garment that makes it high quality, since that's "not necessary". One podcast I'm listening to says "clothes should be expensive".

    I wish there was an easy way to appraise clothes before you buy them. I wish people would care if they're getting ripped off or not. Go ahead and start a five e-mail thread from the store you're thinking about buying from. You can't know how much of a good deal a garment is by looking at it. If you take a pair of cotton trousers into your hands you can't know what's the staple length of the cotton or what's the dyeing method used. What % of price went to pay the workers a living wage? What % towards the fabric? How much % extra am I paying for better finishing?

    With pants if there's elastane in the mix it makes the fabric less durable. If you get crotch blowouts look for trousers with a crotch gusset. Consider looking for brands that list the fabric weight, since the fatter the fabric the more friction it can take before it develops a hole. With shoes I don't really know what to say without going into goodyearwelted shoes that cost 2-3x that.

    Some creators related to appraisal:

  • Bullet train dream: Poland building ‘railway of the future’ with 350 km/h supertrains

    Jump

  • 350kmh bahaha this is bullshit. They can't even implement ETCS2/GSM-R on Warsaw-Białystok to increase the speeds to 200 km/h despite the track being adapted to those speeds.

  • Argentina players face bans as Fifa opens investigation into World Cup final brawls

    Jump

  • Messi wasn't telling the ref what Cucurella said. Covering your mouth while speaking is a red card offense because players would say slurs and didn't want others to be able to lip-read. Cucurella wasn't doing that, he briefly tapped his lips to gesture that his teammate got hit in the mouth. Messi raised his hand as if Cucurella covered his mouth to say a slur - to get him sent off the pitch and get an unfair advantage.

  • If you go to the Ringier Axel Springer website for your country, chances are they list the news outlets they own there, like this for Poland

    I've since replaced all of them with getting news from national news agencies or independent outlets instead (PAP.pl, European Correspondent, Notes from Poland) etc.

  • Polish soldiers now able to collect uniforms from parcel lockers

    Jump

  • In the Polish sources I see they use "magazyn wojskowy" (EN: military depot) so it's not like a private store selling military supplies, it's a dedicated facility ran by the military with equipment staff present. Not sure if they're always on base grounds.

  • Polish soldiers now able to collect uniforms from parcel lockers

    Jump

  • It's about the method of delivery, not who pays for it. I imagine some soldiers may live far enough from the closest military store that it'd be a hassle.

    Soldiers in Poland will be able to pick up their uniforms from their nearest parcel locker rather than having to collect them from military stores

    The article also says it covers other types of equipment, so you don't have to go to the military store for every little thing.
