I'm at 1:29:00 in the video and starting to realize just how wrong I was. Holy shit this is incredibly different from the original. These hallucination "blackouts" as Issac and "Nicole" pilot the shuttle to the surface, the fact that they're ACTUALLY LANDING on Aegis VII?! It's been a long time, so I might be remembering wrong, but I'm pretty sure I remember the original staying entirely on the ship. So I guess I am spoiling this for myself by watching because this ending is already starting to be vastly different from the original.

I love 'overly'-engineered mundane items. Making small things in life a bit more pleasant to use is such a little treat

[@theshoppingexpert]

I couldn’t agree more. Those are actually my favorite kind of products and why I originally made this account: everyday products that aren’t as fancy or eye-catching on the surface, but instead deliver reliable, outsized value to one’s life. Things like this chalk, kitchen utensils, towels, fans, pens, watches, scissors, chairs, lamps, etc. Unfortunately, the current product review meta on social seems to one-liner descriptions of cheaply made unitasker-type products that have more flashiness than function 😕 not that those products or content don’t also deliver value, but imo often tend to veer more into the territory of “impulse purchase that only gets used once or twice” rather than “this is a quality product that will take care of you if you take care of it”

[@sonohanabira9703]

A little sidenote, the specific reason why the owner of Hagoromo passed his legacy to a Korean math teacher was because he showed dedication like no others. Several Japanese companies contacted the owner for buying the recipe, but the owner insisted on keeping the name and recipe unchanged - which, as you see, got turned down and broke the deals. This "random" math teacher out of nowhere, however, kept on pleading the owner to pass his legacy saying that "the good things should always be the last to disappear" (Teacher also accepted all the conditions, including keeping the name and recipe unchanged). After long contemplation, the owner finally decided to pass everything to the teacher, and this is basically how Hagoromo is still in business!

I miss her, she's still the most passionate fan of Hagoromo I've ever met. Edit: Classical Japanese is a school subject where we read old Japanese language text (~7th to 19th century, basically a different language). Quick correction since I reread the comment and it looked like I was trying to say she's a "classically Japanese" person or something 😂 Fun fact, the name hagoromo is also derived from the angels in classical Japanese mythology. It's the fabric they wear to float in the sky, hence hagoromo chalk is supposed to write like you're gliding through the clouds. Heavenly, so to speak.

I remember my old art teacher back in, 2004 or so? He talked about colored chalk once. He talked about how new chalk sucks because each year they add less pigment to the chalk to save money. He took a brand new box of chalk and drew a line on the board. Red. ...ish. Like just the average red we were all used to seeing when a teacher used red chalk. And then he very carefully took out a box of old chalk, no idea how old, but it must have been from the 80s or something. Looked ancient. He very carefully drew a single line of red chalk on the board and put it away again, to be used again next year for the next year of students. And wow was that the most vibrant red chalk I ever saw. I had no idea chalk COULD be vibrant. It was gorgeous. That single red line of chalk will haunt me for the rest of my life. Screw that pale stuff they do 20 years ago. I don't even want to know what kids these days have to suffer between their zoom lessons when they actually pick up chalk. Give me VIBRANT CHALK.

[@NeoNovastar]

Unfortunately, alongside just using less pigments, the most vibrant of reds is usually only achievable with heavy metals. You definitely do not want to be inhaling that in dust form. But the color lover in me understands. It feels like the quality of things is rapidly decreasing all over the place. It hurts so much to watch.

@@NeoNovastar I started making chalk during the pandemic as we were in lockdown and the kids from neighbouring homes would spend a lot of time drawing on our long driveway. I used plaster of paris and PVA glue to make the chalk and tried a few different ways of adding colour. It took so much acrylic paints or stamp pad inks to create fairly pale tones (I wouldn't call them colours). Luckily, I had kept some samples of colour dyes from when I work for a cleaning product manufacturer. That stuff is so concentrated, one drop would be enough to colour 2-3 litres of water vibrantly. I over did it with the first batch and while the chalk was awesome, it would stain your hands after a few minutes of use. Black was impossible to make, I used all the black ink and charcoal I had and could only manage a medium grey.

As a mathematician, when I found out about this chalk I proceeded to buy a hundred-dollar chalkboard from someone in the countryside.

A lot of my professors told the story of how they panicked to buy the special chalk, sometimes even stealing stashes from each other.

Why not just share the recipie? Make the world a better place. Quit hording knowledge. Capitalism and IP holds humanity back. Some people would have documented the entire process and shared it with the world and declared it public domain. Those are the real heros. It's selfless

[@Valchrist1313]

​@@Cara.314 Capitalism and IP, really? Shows how much you know... You can literally go to Google, look up the Patent and find the secret recipe. This is because Patent Law, requires DISCLOSURE to protect IP. As Patents only carry a 20 year protected term, this both incentivizes the sharing of innovation, and the dissemination of it in tot he public domain. Without IP law and Capitalism, information would be held secret, and there'd be no incentive to share it besides altruism - And somehow, I feel like you'd like to eat a dinner you cooked before the entire rest of the world gets an equal portion. Without Patent terms, there'd be no reason to undertake the risks and research costs that lead to innovation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PURPOSE: To obtain an easily erasable chalk giving a clear mark even in wet state, by compounding a gypsum base material with titanium oxide powder at a specific ratio. CONSTITUTION: The objective chalk is produced by compounding 80W90wt.% of a gypsum base material with 10W20wt.% of titanium oxide powder. As an alternative method, 80W90wt.% of a calcium carbonate base material is compounded with 10W20wt.% of titanium oxide powder. COPYRIGHT: (C)1989,JPO&Japio 1988-02-09 Application filed by HAGOROMO BUNGU KK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hording knowledge is what happened before Capitalism and IP law. For example, take this passage from the Chang-tzu or Zhuangzhi, one of the foundational books of Taoism. My physical copy advocates 'burning books and keeping the learning in the hands of the few, keep the peasants low as grass so they may be easily harvested'... but this online version paraphrases pretty much the same thing: Destroy the jade and shatter the pearls, then petty thieves would not appear; burn the accounts and rip up the contracts, and the people will return to simplicity; break up the weights and the measures and the people will no longer argue; obliterate the laws of the world the sages have made, then the people can begin to be reasoned with. Throw away the six tones, destroy the pipes and lute, block the ears of Blind Kuang the musician, then every person in the world would for the first time be able to hear properly. If adornments were abolished, the five colours cast away and the eyes of Li Chu glued shut, then everyone in the world would be able to see clearly for the first time. Shatter the template and plumb line, discard the compass and T-square, break the fingers of a craftsman such as craftsman Chui, then for the first time everyone in the world will have and use real skills. ....... This is how China was run before the modern era. How did that work out?
