You shouldn't. If you successfully manage wear leveling all you've done is make sure you have to replace your whole stock at the same time, as well as depriving yourself of regular reminders of what new-ish clothes should look and feel like, leading you to keep wearing worn-out clothes.
What options exist for something superior? These headphones are awful
This guy also has a post about the hierarchy of socks and underwear which resonated with me. https://tomlingham.com/articles/an-unfortunate-hierarchy-of-...
it seems 99% of gift clothing has some sort of special care requirements.

Was it good? Do you have the title?
It was! The whole book plays a lot with various types of consciousness. Although that was a bit of a spoiler, so out of respect I'll give a somewhat obfuscated link and just say if you're reading something by Alastair Reynolds right now you should consider that before following the link: https://openlibrary.org/books/OL26809698M (Reynolds' got enough books in his bibliography I don't feel like I'm spoiling anything b…

High-end headphone brand Audeze recently made an electrostatic headphone that works in MRI machines.[1] No air tubes needed and much better sound quality (and much more expensive). [1]: https://www.audeze.com/blogs/audeze-journal/press-release-fo...
Very vague explanation of how they work, and that link in the middle - I suspect that is the entire point of the press release.

> Apparently enough people think electromagnetic radiation in the ears is a problem Even Andrew Huberman, one of the most popular health science podcasters, has dabbled into anti-EMF quackery. On one podcast he claimed that his Bluetooth headphones produced notable "heat effects", implying that the electromagnetic energy was enough to produce palpable heat in his body. It's obviously placebo effect to the extreme (ph…
What are the recent revelations you’re referring to?
> I'm not allowed to have any metals or magnetic materials on me. Loose or easily dislodged materials. My belt buckle was ok to keep on. Had to empty my pockets, take off my ring, metal piercings are disallowed. You don’t want gobs of belongings piling up on your magnet, and you don’t want something large enough to pin the human between it and the magnet. The first scenario is quite expensive to rectify. The second i…

I recently got an MRI and the technician asked me what I wanted to listen to on the headphones. I said "Something relaxing, do you have ambient music?". This turned out to be a terrible choice; the music was so quiet I could barely hear it. Earplugs would have been better. I had some in my pocket that I brought but it was too late. So after the claustrophobic panic subsided and I realized I was left in there with not…
When I had an MRI a few years ago, my conclusion about the sound was "add a melody on top of that rhythm, and it would go over quite well in an underground industrial music club in an abandoned warehouse outside of Berlin." I haven't looked to see if anyone has actually tried to make music with the sound or not.
