Hm, US Woodland camo doesn't seemed to have entered service until 1981? The pattern is an enlarged version of the earlier ERDL pattern but this one doesn't appears small enough to be ERDL I think.

Reply to comment by BongosTooLoud in Clothing made from blend of wool and synthetic? by redditjoda
Exactly this. 100% wool doesn't hold up as well. I think the current widely used approach is a synthetic core with wool spun around it

VE models are very efficient.

I have the lead pencil, and I love it. I wish there were a pen body wide enough to accommodate a roller refill.

National :) I had so many of their stuff when I was a kid in the late 80s. The quality was so good

Find a local place that sells rugs in your area. As muncie4 said you gotta get something made by humans

Got one as a gift years ago and it’s the best pen. Such a simple and elegant design.

Reply to comment by In_Gen in SpeedQueen TC5 very loud. Resonance throughout the house. by In_Gen
It is quiet normally, but with a full load of cloth diapers, and when it’s doing the final spin at Mach Jesus, it gets loud for about 10min

Love the pen but the Coach portfolio is a rich man's folder that is way too expensive for me.
I could probably buy a Necronomicon for that price and at least cast spells

Just a note, the old school top freezer single swing door is the most efficient configuration for a fridge.
There's a technology connections video on this. If you're extra enthusiastic about freezing food and have the space, (it's a great way to keep things from going to waste, and save money by buying things in bulk) you can get a chest freezer, they cost pennies to run.

Check out the clothing label OP posted in the comments. It doesn’t have identification numbers like modern gear, but I will say it does have a similar look to it. The NATO sizing on the label is interesting.

Our sales rep recommended the front loader as quiet. This is disappointing to hear.

Reply to comment by Clear_Knowledge_5707 in Has anyone ever bought an uplift desk? How do you feel about it? by Accomplished_Alarm_1
I mean, not all motors are created the same and not all sit stand desks are made the same. Some wobble. Some are solid walnut tops. Some have smart weld points to reduce shake and movement.
Again, this group is about spending good money on high quality.
I could also get a sit stand desk on Amazon, but l it'd likely have a cheap chinese motor that won't last.
I'm not sure what to tell you. It sounds like this group might not be for you

If $2,600 is worth a motor to you ....
Here's the Husky desk for $600 with a motor ( $200 )
