Yeah, let's all just do whatever we want in line with aesthetics and not make the least little sacrifice like putting up with a marginal reduction in lighting quality.

I should have added that the whole "your tax dollars pay for libraries so use them" thing is only half true. Most libraries have to supplement with private contributions. Some of them have to secur...
Patronizing libraries is very important for their survival. Public funding (that is, whether or not your state government allocates funds for libraries) is based on patronage figures. At the moment...
I also simply say "texture". This smacks of inventing "foodie speak". It's similar to the usage of "umami" which is now all the rage when "meaty" or "savory" will do the trick just as well.
It only comes in XL because the air flow doesn't work to cool the wearer unless there is extra space in the shirt.
No one actually wears these in Japan though. I believe it's a gimmic...
