The trend of fashion fabrics has been inseparable from sustainable environmental protection, and “sustainable environmental protection” has become a mainstream topic in the industry, using eco-friendly fabrics in fashion design and supporting environmental protection with practical actions. For the consideration of environmental protection. In the future, the use of natural raw materials will be the main focus, and in 2022, we will jointly promote the development of green and sustainable environmental protection fabrics to make products more environmentally friendly, practical, and ornamental.

Sustainable fashion has gradually become the mainstream culture, and more and more fashion consumers are losing interest in clothes with opaque sources and rough workmanship, and are seeking ethical, wearable and distinctive clothing and accessories. In this context, the fashion industry is under tremendous pressure to seek new alternative textile materials that are more environmentally sustainable.How many of these different new eco-friendly fabrics do you know about?

1. Soy Fabric (SPF)

Soy protein fiber is known as the healthy, comfortable, and green fiber of the new century. Its main raw material is soy protein, which is large in quantity and low in price, and is conducive to resource recovery and redevelopment. Soy protein fiber has both the superiority of natural fiber and the physical properties of synthetic fiber. In a sense, soy fabric is potential material for high-grade clothing in the textile industry.

2. Algae Fabric（Algae Fiber ）

Algae fiber is called the industry’s “third fiber”. There are two main sources of traditional textile fibers, one is synthetic fibers based on petrochemicals, the other is natural fibers (cotton, linen, wool, silk, etc.) and land-based bio-renewable fibers (mainly wood and bamboo as raw materials). Seaweed fiber, as a new type of biodegradable regenerative fiber, is a fiber made from alginate isolated from some natural seaweed plants in the ocean (such as kelp and seaweed), and its products have good natural antibacterial, moisture-wicking, flame retardant and fire retardant and other excellent characteristics.

Preface

I have personally always been interested in paper recipes and wanted to make use of them, however they are so much worse than than the alternatives that there is absolutely no point in doing so.

Thus in order to use them I added a few recipe changes to my custom seablock game that I think balance things out. I talk about them here.

Changes from base seablock:

1. removal of wood to wooden board recipe entirely. This makes paper necessary
2. paper to wooden board recipe is now 16x faster while requiring 25% more paper
3. paper to wooden board can now go into electronic assemblers AND accept productivity modules (same as the original wood to wooden board recipe!)
4. paper 2 recipe now requires 2x pulp for 2x paper (same 4 sec speed) with the original 1x extra ingredients and 1x extra by-products.
5. paper 3 recipe now requires 4x pulp for 4x paper (same 4 sec speed) with 2x extra ingredients and 2x extra by-products.
6. amount of wood from trees increased by 3x (now 18->24 per cut)
7. recipe for making cellulose fiber from wood made 2x faster (1s instead of 2s)
8. recipe for tree seeds made 2x slower (30s instead of 15s)
9. removed the wood 3 technology (it is empty)
10. renaming of wooden board to fibre board (just to keep things more consistent)

Explanations:

• 1,2,3,9,10 should be obvious.
• 4,5 -> necessary to make paper T2 and T3 viable (otherwise T1 is kind of better)
• 6,7 -> tree farms in base seablock are only really better due to wood->wooden board recipe. In terms of cellulose fibre and charcoal algae is MUCH better. So much so that a 3x boost was necessary.
• 8 -> bit of a balance here, making sure that you are required to explore and find more trees for your seed generators.

Comparison (wooden boards)

Wooden board production options for base Seablock (1 to 6)

Processing img oc23slvmim181...

Currently there are 6 ways of making wooden boards:

• 1-3 are the 3 tiers of wood
  • rather simple at all tiers (it may look complicated, but most of the production chain are your typical setups for co2 (wood->...->charcoal->co2), compost (water->salt water-> brown algae->compost), and washing setup (seafloor pump to a series of washing plants). The most complicated part is probably getting ammonia, but that should honestly be imported from somewhere else

Will I shit it out afterwards? And will it cause constipation?

I’m a bit confused about the differences between these three. Apparently viscose and rayon can be made from bamboo, so does that mean that any fiber/fabric labeled “bamboo” is one of these two? Or is plain “bamboo” something different?

The reason I ask is because I am looking to buy some natural yarn to make my own socks and one of the brands I found is made out of 100% bamboo fiber. However when I felt it, it was super soft and felt pretty similar to something made out of viscose/rayon, so it just had me wondering if maybe the labeling was misleading and it really is viscose/rayon? Or is 100% bamboo its own thing?

Preface:

This will be a long guide, so lets get some things out of the way:

• This is a guide to Seablock. The mod can be found on the mod page here, a 'pack' mod can be found here. For the best experience it is highly recommended to download it directly as a zip pack with all the correct mods from the homepage here.
• The basis of Seablock is a modified Bob & Angel pack, so expect around 10x the amount of items, recipes, and buildings as you would in base Factorio. The key difference between a regular B&A playthough and Seablock being that there are no ore patches and even land itself is at a premium - you start on a single block of land that you must expand. Nearly everything comes from water, and that includes the ores. On the positive note, there is very little interaction with biters, exclusively in the form of worms that you must snipe from afar and no actual nests. This make the game more like peaceful mode, where the only worry you have is to expand the factory.
• Any talk of tiers will most often be about recipe tiers, not building tiers. For example T1 and T2 green algae is for algae from water recipe and algae from mineralized water and carbon dioxide recipe; NOT! about T1 algae farm building and T2 algae farm building.
• I will specifically not be giving any blueprints or actual in-game screenshots so as to allow for a more interesting game. What I will be providing is a general flow through the technology tree that I recommend, along with some recipe charts that you can use as a basis for your builds.
• The images were getting a bit big, so I downscaled them so as to keep reddit from crashing (too much). To get the full images plus the original graph file go here. You can either have them as an image collection to use as a guide during play, or open up the graph and edit the flow values so as to better design your factory. The graph was made in Foreman 2.0 (which is what I spent the last 2 months working on instead of doing a seablock run as I originally planned). The app is still in its development phase, so there may (and are) be bugs in it (not of the biter variety - I removed those quite early on).
• This is Part 2 of the guide that will talk about the bio

Being outside in a climate that our bodies cannot handle alone without the help of clothing and an understanding of therm o-regulation.

#Series Purpose: Understand our bodies, To assess against your full clothing system and put your understanding against your real world expectations and results for all scenarios. Knowing many of these things are already understood they are still outlined as a larger picture discussion.

Part 2: Material Data

Part 3: General theory of application of material in purpose

Part 4: Material choice per appendage and core

Preface: In part 2 we will look at each of the primary materials used in outdoor apparel. There is oftentimes contention with what materials work better at what position. With this part of the series I hope to dig in and sort out why certain people in certain areas and certain lineage tend to have an affinity to particular material in their kit!

Intentions: To expound on the different materials used in textiles and their properties. With knowing the information being able to use that and place them in a layering system to achieve an expected result.

#Material Structure:

Getting into the structure of the fibers that go into the garment can get sticky. Lets start with natural fibers first because the material for the most part is what it is.

#Wool:

Top level: there is a cuticle and a cortical.. What does this mean for you when wearing

Cortex: Cuticle: Hydrophobic (Outside) plated in structure and waxy in structure making it not only hydrophobic but repel water.

Cortical: hydrophilic(Inside) attracts the moisture

Because the Cuticle is plated in structure it allows the inner Cortical hydrophilic material to pull the moisture vapor to the inside of the fiber.

#Cotton:

Cotton has a similar structure to wool, walled structure around an inner lumin.

The structure is made up of 4 basic parts, The cuticle, primary wall, a secondary wall(s) and the lumin.

Cuticle: a thin film of fats and waxes.

Primary wall: the structure of the primary wall is open and unstructured

Secondary wall: this makes up the lion's share of the cotton fiber(

Position

After 9 months consolidation NC6 finally looks ready to go... todays close at 11.5 cents represents a technical breakout from the range it was trapped in and there are fundamental reasons for why that is and why I believe this is just the beginning of a major SP re rate... so let me elaborate further.

Todays close is the highest closing price for the last 185 days (since april 26th), this represents a technical buy signal for many traders/investors

Zooming in the MACD was showing bullish divergence prior to this move and has now crossed the zero line with bullish momentum now in force.

Alot of you will remember NC6 from January after the SP pumped pretty hard and got a little ahead of itself, well 9 and a bit months later after a long and arduous consolidation period and making an extended base it has now awoken from its slumber. the pilot processing trials that were due mid year were delayed due to COVID but the recently announced Quarterly informed the market that the trials are now underway as we speak and offtake discussions with major international fashion brands are underway and expected to be signed this calendar year which only leaves about 5-6 weeks, see quarterly highlights below.

For anyone that reacts badly to psyllium husk, have you tried Citrucel (generic name methylcellulose)?

I tried psyllium twice and had horrific reactions both times (really bad cramps and bad diarrhoea) and have read that methyl cellulose is non fermenting fibre so I’m wondering if it’s worth a try. Has anyone reacted badly to psyllium but reacted well to Citrucel?

So I'm in Canada and this isn't something that I'm able to just pick up in stores to be honest....but I'm wondering if it's something that anyone has had success is replicating at home?

The ingredients are listed

Vital Wheat Gluten, Wheat protein, king Arthur unbleached flour (wheat flour, malted barley flour), wheat fibre, whey, sunflower oil, buttermilk, cellulose gum, natural flavour.

VWG is readily available as is Oat fibre (which I'm pretty sure would be a fine sub for wheat fibre)

I guess my issue would be that I have never heard of Wheat protein, I wonder if you could use a pea protein or something like that?

Or a whey protein isolate....not sure!

I have a pretty good blend I make at home with VWG, Lupin Flour and Oat fibre so I wonder whether I just stick with that instead?

Do your worst!

Abstract

The capacity of microbiota to produce medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) and related consequences for the gastrointestinal (GI) tract have never been reported before. We verified the impact of nutrition-related factors on fatty acid (FAs) production and found that caloric restriction decreased levels of most of MCFAs in the mouse cecum, whereas overnight fasting reduced the levels of acetate and butyrate but increased propionate and laurate. A diet high in soluble fibre boosted the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and caproate whereas a high-cellulose diet did not have an effect or decreased the levels of some of the FAs. Rectal infusion of caprylate resulted in its rapid metabolism for energy production. Repeated 10-day MCFA infusion impacted epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) weight and lipid accumulation. Repeated infusion of caprylate rectally tended to increase the concentration of active ghrelin in mice plasma, however, this increase was not statistically significant. In Caco-2 cells, caprylate increased the expression of Fabp2, Pdk4, Tlr3, and Gpr40 genes as well as counteracted TNFα-triggered downregulation of Pparγ, Occludin, and Zonulin mRNA expression. In conclusion, we show that colonic MCFAs can be rapidly utilized as a source of energy or stored as a lipid supply. Further, locally produced caprylate may impact metabolism and inflammatory parameters in the colon.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

It really does, I swear!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

I came to Reddit solely to investigate this. It is a repost because I did not get enough answers.

I had taken a tab of LSD (~100 μg?) one fine morning (probably after having stayed up all night). Went to the park, enjoyed the spectacle of spider webs swirling in the air and the dew drops on glass blades shining brightly.

Upon return to my room, I lied down in my bed with a sheet over my face. At one point, I saw a strange pattern and wondered what it was. I realized that it was the light of the lightbulb sieving through the fabric and making the weave visible. Perhaps almost immediately, I got an ultra-zoomed-in, Ultra HD microscopic view of the fibres and soon enough, I saw what looked like almost molecular structure. I do understand that molecules are not solid shapes but I am merely describing the level of detail. I felt as though I had seen cellulose down to its smallest visible form.

Right after that, I pulled out a cheap kids' microscope and struggled with it because I was seeing far more than necessary and took a long time to look at the actual samples (that came with the microscope). Other than the great view, I even saw tiny living things that are normally not visible at that magnification from such a cheap microscope.

Can someone please explain what happened or at least share similar experiences of their own or those of others? Did I actually see it or was it my imagination? It looked extremely real. I recently found a question on Quora where a user asked how come they are able to see microscopically through their sweater when it's put against bright light. Among all the normal, boring answers, I also found one in which another user was saying that he/she too was searching for this information after having experienced the same phenomenon. They did not mention any drug use.

Lastly, I would like to propose an experiment for the psychonautics community. Several people have reported seeing fine golden filaments connecting stars in the night sky while under the influence of psychedelics. We also know the existence of galactic and intergalactic filaments. For instance, intergalactic gaseous filaments have been observed through their Lyman alpha radiation—ultraviolet light that is produced when neutral hydrogen gas is ionized and then returns to its ground state—using the MUSE instrument. However, humans don't see UV. In any case, humans haven't seen such fil

Pilot on me!!

Nigel eaton in his youtube on cottoning says that he prefers viscose to cotton. Does anyone know of a source for this?

trying to get my head around this. Some help would be appreciated.

Currently turning algae into cellulose fibre to burn for energy, however, this isn't nearly enough power for our factory. Seems like we need to change over to another fuel source, but it seems every other fuel source is worse. Cellulose fibre is worth 1 mj, every other burnable is made from cellulose fibre, but is worse less mj than the sum of the cellulose needed to make it. For example, charcoal is worth 4mj, but is made of 48 cellulose in a wood block and smelted (using even more cellulose). Why bother wasting the cellulose to make charcoal when the output is less mj than if we'd not bothered.

Thanks a lot.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!
