The sheen of silk is altered by exposure to water, especially hot water, and uneven drying creates watermarks. "[Silk] may be dry-cleaned but should not be washed with water , as water can alter the sheen and crispness of the silk fibe

yes! But I've also embarrassed myself more than once by spilling coffee (or, ahem, some other liquid) on my eider-down duvet. Moreover, the properties of a duvet cover that could keep the duvet safe from such insults -- namely, a tight

That's a great question that is entirely fabric-dependent. If your formalwear is wool (for example, a tuxedo or blazer) you'd probably want to swap it out for a version of the garment which is made from Superwash wool, which is ma

HN comments section will be the death of me. There could be an asteroid impact and someone would be jocularly arguing that asteroids are neither good nor bad, and that being sad about it is woke nonsense, and that the asteroid is winning in

I don't have a premise other than, "these things are not alike; this article equivocates on 'writing'." I make no claim about whether nor not tech docs can be masterful. It's weird of you to go in this directio

The problem with this article is that it allows the word 'writing' to cover so much ground it means practically nothing; butter spread over too much toast. It's like talking about the "market for painters" and never

Yes, and you can also shoot, strangulate, or set an idea on fire. Metaphorically speaking. But metaphor is imprecision and unnecessary colour. Be clear and precise. Use specific language. This is admittedly prescriptive usage, but I am pres

It's not an "attack". It's an argument against. "Attack" implies some sort of animus directed against the recipient; e.g. an attack on unhoused people, etc. An attack implies violence. An argument , even one w

Honestly, it can't. What it will do instead is cause the most abrupt wealth concentration in the history of humankind. This will create 'revolutionary' conditions, although the shape and direction of that revolution will di

In context, I interpret GP as implying that things have been bad for a while -- a sort of deflationary position that is popular on HN when something Big is happening. If that's not what's going on here, I apologize -- but yes, it&

I always see "this is nothing new" used as a sort of psychological defense against dismay. Concerned about the latest reports on ocean warming? Well, climate change has been happening for a while! Concerned about the AI-fuelled de

If you have a paper/pencil practice, some of the fine motor training transfers. But you're right, not all of it! Particularly, the difference in surface friction used to throw me off. Try starting with a piece of paper taped onto
