It is over production.

If a manufacturer sells out the entire production, it means that they’ve missed potential sales. They could have produced and sold more, so that’s what they’re going to do for next season.

When a company has over production, they won’t just drop the price to hand off the products. To some degree they do, in outlets and other off season sales that don’t interfere with the main sale. But even then, there’s a lower limit to how cheap they can sell it off without damaging their perceived price point. Wholesale buyers are not going to buy from a brand that can’t keep a high enough price for the retailers to earn money on the markup. The price must be artificially kept up by not making the products available too cheap on the main market. The result is that some items just don’t ever get sold out, only because the product has lost its resale value. That’s over production.

Budgets go up, because the owners want more. If they had owners who were satisfied with making less money consistently, they could easily adjust their production to the demand and settle for that steady income. But they want more, so they will always attempt to sell more.

What EU is doing now is to force the manufacturers to pay for the damage of their overproduction. The solution for the companies to avoid this is to figure out their actual sales better and/or make on-demand production. On-demand production of textile is difficult, because even fast fashion has a pipeline of about a year, and they need to know well in advance how much textile they need to make the products. A solution to that is to forget about fast fashion and make products that are sold over several seasons instead, and by using more basic textiles in their designs instead of printed patterns that only have appeal for a very limited time.

The developing countries don’t want our surplus, because it stops them from developing their own local production and markets.

This might be semantic, but it’s not by design. There is no design.

The purpose is to fuck people over, because the purpose of a system is what the system does, regardless of what it was designed to do.

I still think it’s an euphemism for fellatio.

Work phone. Boss needs that sell through report dead or alive.

Why though? It’s easier to change the ETA than the ATD.

Lol. See you at the front.

So… if people can’t trust the leaders that they elect, who is going to lead your communist revolution?

So if not by voting, how exactly do you propose that they should have asked the population?

An election on this issue would not have changed a thing. At the time, polls showed that 84% of the population was for joining. The decision was made by the parliament with 188 for, 8 against and 3 who didn’t care.

It’s a representative democracy working as intended. If you’re unhappy with how your representative represented your vote, you need to vote for someone else.

Take heat from homes

That’s the tricky part.

This sand battery works by offsetting the production of heat to be used in an already existing district heating system.

That system does not easily change into a district cooling system. It is simply not built to run in reverse. Every part of it from production through distribution, exchanging and in-house distribution are made with one purpose: To transfer heat in one direction.

It makes sense to use renewable energy to charge this battery, so they don’t need as much fossil fuel or whatever they use normally.

But, if we were to make a district wide hvac-system the same way, it would probably be better and more efficient to simply use individual airconditioners using the renewable energy directly.

Rage against that cookie.

Ok ,but you need to choose a top and bottom from each of them, divided at the waist.

It depends on how nearsighted you are. If you have something like -5 you’ll still notice being nearsighted, whereas someone with only -1.5 might suddenly experience seeing perfectly.

It’s because the refractive index of water is different than air. Also, the pressure has an effect on the eye, changing the default focus. Finally you’ll also have a more narrow vision from goggles or from squinting, which itself helps focus ever so slightly.

If you’re in a pool there’s not a whole lot of details to look at to begin with and we’re not terrible good at judging distances under water anyway. So the whole experience is different and difficult to compare to normal vision.

If you do get goggles with lenses you might want to choose a correction that is a few points under your normal glasses because the water gives you one for free.

Damn these kinks are getting weird.

If you nitpick your own suggestions the same way, you’ll find that nuclear weapons were made by Germans in America and that rock music is a rip off of Blues which is Africa, and so on.

All inventions are based on knowledge that comes from somewhere else. It’s the exchange of knowledge that pushes inventions forward. It is very rarely the country of where that person had his or her ass situated at the time of the patent application that caused the invention.

You should hear his voice. His face is the prettiest thing of that man.
