If you're a leftist of any kind, my favorite is this parody shirt called OurSQL: https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/OurSQL-red-and-yellow-by...

I strongly disagree with the claim that it's a hoodie simply because it has a hood. Many hooded garments are not hoodies. To be a hoodie, it must be made out of thicker sweatshirt material. A long-sleeve T-shirt with a hood is just a long-sleeve T-shirt with a hood.
Indeed. Anyone who lives near a beach in a warm climate is likely familiar with these long sleeve hooded “tees”.
As someone who lives near a beach in a warm climate... I've never seen anyone wear one of these nor have I seen them for sale in stores.
I can't imagine when I'd wear one either - if I want protection from the sun I'll wear a hat or sunscreen - not a hood.

Everything about that organization offends me. They took their name from a series of books they apparently never read. How is Palantir supposed to save the shire? By trampling the rights of the Hobbits in addition to destroying their environment? The Palantir show a narrow view of events and lead to their users to ruin. It’s like they read the cautionary tale as an instruction manual. They chose an accurate name for…
This seems unrelated to the comfort and fit of their shirts, but maybe not?
I have been in the same room as someone wearing a Palantir shirt and I was uncomfortable.

Palantir is a Quenya word meaning far-seeing. The last successful king of Numenor was Tar-Palantir for example. The palantiri were corrupted by Sauron and limited to only show things that he wanted you to see. This was extremely well known inside Palantir and was deliberately talked about as something we should all consider the risk of. The origin story of Palantir was the intelligence failures that led to the 9/11 a…
I don’t doubt the good intentions. I do question the outcome.

#116I disagree with nearly this entire post, which is fun. I find that the poly blend shirts that the author loves (especially like the MongoDB shirt) are clingy and sweaty. Softness is low on my list of shirt priorities - comfort and fit are high. I don't know how you could see "mongoDB" and not think it is tech, but maybe I'm too mired in tech to have an outsider's perspective. Also, that dark heathered grey color is e…
My holy grail was the Hanes ComfortSoft 100% cotton T. Available in 6-paks at the local Walmart. They start soft and just get better. But they changed the fabric a while ago and it's not the same. Still have a few that are getting pretty threadbare.
What you want now is Hanes Premium slim fit, which is a cotton/poly blend similar to the old ComfortSoft.
Watch out because some Hanes Premium are 100% cotton, which is not what you want at least at this price point.

I wear poly ones that are spf50 all the time when I’m fishing so I don’t need to worry about applying sunscreen to large parts of my body multiple times a day.

To be fair, it's not really a hoodie either as I feel that implies it's a sweater or has the thickness of one. It really is just a long sleeve shirt with a hood attached.
What is the distinction in your mind?
Tees are made of a tee shirt material like jersey knit while hoodies are made from a sweatshirt material like terry cloth or a cotton fleece.

#119If anyone would like a free PostgresML T-shirt, we just did our first run. Feel free to email me with your shipping info and size. It'd also be nice to get to know you a bit if your email address isn't obvious.
If you ship the Philippines, would love to get one. First time to hear about PostgresML. Email add in profile.

#120I have that same MongoDB shirt from FOSDEM 2010.
I remember it vividly as that year, the infantilization of developers by companies was at its peak.
MongoDB had a stand with hired girls in pump up bras distributing tee shirts. Google had its stand with the same girls proposing some "funny quizz" to win some blinking LED toy and an interview slot.
