It's been the absolute worst thing for 10+ years that some podcasts have adverts, even their own website, but somehow fail to provide the RSS feed link anywhere - only app specific links for the biggest 2.

You also have people producing "podcasts" that only exist on youtube.

Screen quality, refresh rate and aspect ratio is garbage, so I do not care.

It's a manufacturing technique that is helpful for prototyping and makes sense some types of small scale manufacturing.

But it's not magical, and not much different to injection moulding or something in concept.

Almost everything created with home level 3d printers is plastic junk you can buy for a few dollars on aliexpress (without weird rough edges).

>For existing neighborhoods this means buying dozens of SFH from people who don't want to move.

This is closely coupled to the whole 'grandfathered in to very low property taxes from 50 years ago' problem.

And Gemini is already integrated into the results page and gives useful answers instantly, alongside advertising... What problem for google are you seeing?

These clothing companies are based (if no longer producing) in different regional markets, so focussing on e.g. the average Italian cycling enthusiast, which will be quite different to the average Dutch, American etc.

I've found myself not even considering brands where I've found inconsistent sizing, but going back again and again to ones I can reliably pick a size and know it'll fit, no returns.

I have seen this explanation a lot and frankly I doubt that very much (The XXL I had to return was a Belgian brand). I think it's not the body size difference in regional market but rather the Italian market for example may be used to different size designations. But then they sell to other markets too, so they should sort this thing out. I simply can't buy anything from Castelli when the reviews say 'buy 2 or 3 sizes larger than the measurements say'.

I wish those existed for my garments. Sizing is inconsistent between Assos Equipe RS and Mille GT lines, between newer and older Isadore pants, between newer and older Endura pants...

Maybe, but for sure the range of total size would be very different if everyone in the study was in shape.

It'd be interesting to see this study repeated after a decade of GLP-1 drugs being available (and cheaper).

Used to know someone who worked for a mass production company, outsourcing big clothing orders for UK supermarkets.

It's common for clothing producers (Designers were in the UK in this case, clothes made in china or otherwise) to just pick whoever is in the design office that's about the right size and use them as the basis of all sizing measurements for a given size.

I've even heard of a petite woman being used as the size model for boys 11-12 age supermarket clothes. There's very little thought involved, it's just convenience to be able to tailor the template garment to a real person who's nearby.

100%. For a time whoever the gap shirt designers measured up for their XL size must've exactly matched my build and height, and had extra long arms the same length as mine. So it was an easy way to get a shirt that fit right, for me.

People with bad health, low status being able to wear the same clothes as young women with good health and status removes the signalling benefit of those clothes.
