Re: T-Shirts Unravelled
#92I feel obliged to share a lifehack my mother taught me regarding the laundry. After removing the laundry, take your t-shirts and stretch them yourself, one by one, when they're still slightly wet. Grab them with two hands symmetrically, stretch horizontally, moving your hands down along the shirt. Do the same vertically, and with the sleeves. Do not use a machine dryer, just a regular standing dryer like [1]. Put you…

Only some of The Real McCoys are loopwheeled sadly, and there's some confusion over which. The Flat Head and Tezomeya are also other examples of loopwheeled tees.
Then... how can you really tell what The Real "The Real McCoys" really are?
RMC website is accurate. But some distributors like superdenim mislabel things a lot.

I've never ironed a T-shirt. I didn't know ironing t-shirts was a thing people did.
Re: T-Shirts Unravelled
#95I don't have a dryer, but I've still had cotton shirts (not t-shirts) shrink in the washing machine. This usually happens the first time (or first few times) they are washed at the temperature recommended on the label: 40°C (104°F). However, at 30°C (86°F) I've never encountered any shrinkage. So this purely anecdotal experience makes me believe that the temperature of water can affect some cotton garments.
I've stopped buying 100% cotton t-shirts because they shrink so much. polyester/cotton or tri-blend last so much longer. Also, I find them more comfortable to use (cotton sticks to the skin when it gets humid).
You're washing them too hot, or you're drying them too hot.

My wife irons her yoga pants. She doesn't like even the chance of a crease or wrinkle.

You need kids! Well, at least kids sizes.
I understand the desire for adults to have a shirt that fits, but I think that falls squarely in the bucket of "nice to have". As a parent of a child that doesn't fit any of the sizing charts, being able to predict what size of what brand will fit my kid would be a "must have"! Kids also tend to go through clothes a lot faster than adults, making the potential savings of getting a good fit far greater.

Well we are in Hacker News after all - the uniform is to wear hoodies at all times.

To be fair, that's a server-side error that will probably always occur (so the site is effectively permanently down), not like the original client-side error caused by users configuring their browsers in a way that site owners might consider hostile or otherwise not worth supporting.
It's not considered hostile by the site owners https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10959363 in fact it's already fixed. My original comment was in the spirit of helping a fellow programmer find a possible bug. On the other hand I found themartorana's comment to be particularly snarky wrt a large proportion of web citizens that are increasingly worried about their privacy. The fact that his own website doesn't seem t…
I do see that these particular site owners don't mind their users using Ghostery and uBlock. Some may not go out of their way because they see it as their users denying them ad revenue or analytics (the user is "hostile".) A similar situation happens with NoScript, where some site owners view Javascript as a basic, easily-met prerequisite to using their site, and will do nothing to help users who don't want to enable JS.
I presumed that's what themartorana was referring to about why they might not bother to fix it, and why I thought it would be useful to point out that according to the error message you got, themartorana's site is broken in a different, more fundamental way.
