In traditional vampire lore, the inability for vampires to cast a reflection in mirrors is often attributed to the idea that they lack a soul. This concept has been widely popularized in literature, film, and other media.
Traditional film cameras use a mirror to reflect the image onto the film (in the case of SLRs), while digital SLRs use a mirror to reflect the image onto a digital sensor. If we follow the lore strictly, a vampire wouldn’t appear in these photographs.Modern smartphone cameras, as you correctly pointed out, do not use mirrors; they use digital sensors to capture images directly. If the folklore’s basis for invisibility in photos is strictly tied to the presence of mirrors, then theoretically, a vampire would appear in a smartphone photograph.
However, the interpretation of vampire lore varies. Some versions might suggest that it’s not just mirrors that prevent their appearance but any form of reflection or reproduction. In that case, even smartphone cameras might fail to capture them.
Yea we put ham too, sometimes spam, sometimes bacon. It’s really versatile tbh. We even have other variations like Cheeseburger Macaroni that nearly crosses the line into its own dish.
But, I have never EVER heard of raisins going into it before and it sounds disgusting.
This OP, also make sure to choose custom install and delete ALL the partitions. Not only does the manufacturer image reside there with it’s crapware, it could have been tampered with to reinstall all that malware lol
I feel like that’s a bit different, if it’s something you enjoy that’s great!
What I was more against was when people make ironing out to be some requirement of life, another chore that needs to be done just like the dishes or laundry itself.
Sometimes they didn’t want to pay for the testing and don’t want to be liable (Probably cheap product) sometimes they didn’t want to spend the extra 0.05¢/item to apply the proper coating/dyes/machine resistant features (Cheap product)
The rest of the time, it’s truly because of “specialized” material, like wool.
If you’re looking to buy clothing, it’s best if you simply didn’t buy anything that is “Handwash Only” (Unless it’s something like wool).
If everybody checked and avoided buying “Handwash Only” clothing AND dishware, they would disappear off the market rather quickly (With the exception of special materials that truly can’t be made machine-safe)
You misunderstood, I’m definitely pro-dishwasher and have seen both of TC’s dishwasher videos.
“You’re just being lazy” is a common argument anti-dishwashers bring up along with the (Incorrect) “It’s faster to hand wash”
However, that being said, being greener isn’t why I’m pro-dishwasher. It’s because it saves time I can use for anything else
It’s a waste of time to hang dry, it’s a 5-10x increase over just shoving them in the dryer, hitting start and going off to do whatever. It’s simply inefficient to spend time hanging clothes to dry.
I don’t think it really matters if your shirt is wrinkled*. I used to work a suit and tie job in a past life, while the suit part would get regularly dry cleaned, the inner button down shirt and slacks would get washed and dried with the rest of the laundry and never ironed. Nobody ever said, emailed, sticky noted a damn thing that affected my career or social work-life sooo ¯_(ツ)_/¯
*Except the following groups: Politicians, Celebrities, Rich people, Executives.
Probably, but not enough to really matter at the end of the day when the vast majority of pollution is by the hands of corporations not not the general public. If every single one of us “regular folk” lived perfectly green lives, it would barely nudge the needle. That’s just the sad reality we have to deal with.
That’s not to say you should go out and do the opposite just because it doesn’t matter, just that it’s not a slam dunk argument by any means.
And also it tends to prolong the life of your clothes.
I briefly researched this to try to come up with some studies on this. There aren’t any with Hang Dry vs Dryer, although I did find one that concluded that cold and fast washing increased longevity.
The real culprit for longevity is cheap shit vs quality, the vast majority of clothing for my family is tshirts, hoodies and jeans with a scattering of “specialized” clothing (Slacks, lingerie, delicates, dress clothing etc.)
And I can say that cheap and/or fast fashion crap are the only things I’ve ever seen that actually have a significant shortened life when going through the wash/dry cycle. And usually within weeks.
Quality jeans and cotton tshirts I’ve got have been going on 5+ years just fine. I don’t even buy clothes for replacement that often, mostly just because it looks nice and caught my eye or something. Hell, I’m wearing a hoodie rn that’s going on 10 years and it’s never known a single day on the line and it’s going strong. Maybe it’s a little more faded than when it was new, but it’s been so long I can’t even remember.
And then it’s also incredibly subjective to each person, where’s the line of what’s “unwearable” is it the second elastic starts being a little deformed or can you go a bit longer? Is it when tiny holes start showing up or is it not until it’s obviously torn and tattered?
AFAIC any piece of clothing that lasts more than 4 or 5 years is on bonus time, after that point I’ve gotten my value out of it so sacrificing upwards of 20 minutes every load to maybe get another 1 or 2 out of it is an utter waste (and even that is debatable, what studies I did find on longevity pointed to quality of manufacturing (aka stop buying the cheap shit) and washing on cold)
