Better Living Through Chemistry (slogan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' (BLTC) is a variant of a #DuPont advertising slogan, 'Better Things for Better Living...Through Chemistry'. DuPont adopted it in 1935 and it was their slogan until 1982 when the 'Through Chemistry' part was dropped. Since 1999, their slogan has been 'The miracles of science'.

The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' was used on products that were not affiliated with DuPont to circumvent trademark infringement.[citation needed] This transmutation is now more commonly used than the original. This statement is used for commentary on several different topics, from the promotion of prescription or recreational drugs, to the praise of chemicals and #plastics, to the sarcastic criticism of the same."

Sleep time in the Fish River Canyon will be simple again: two groundsheets and no tent. This time around I opted for a tyvek sheet and a polycro sheet. I found the ground sheets that I used the previous time were too narrow.

The plan is to sleep on the more sturdy tyvek sheet and unpack my gear on the polycro sheet. In the unlikely scenario of rain at night, I'll simply sleep underneath the polycro sheet as it is wider that the tyvek sheet.

I have modified the tyvek sheet with some metal grommets. I'll put some lightweight cord in there in case I want to peg it down. Not sure about doing the same to the polycro sheet - thst material is a bit flimsy.

Wo, oh wo könnte ich in Deutschland leichtes, weißes, unbedrucktes(!) Tyvek kaufen? Nicht über Amazon, wohlgemerkt.

Where oh where could I buy lightweight, white, unmarked(!) #Tyvek in Germany/EU? Not via Amazon, btw.

A long, long time ago, I had it in my head to start sewing wallets out of Tyvek, of all the things. The material is waterproof, incredibly strong, and takes to sewing rather well. And interestingly, FedEx and USPS are a pretty inexpensive source for this material.

I made some with some thick parachute-like material I had sitting around, and that worked as well.

@zatnosk there was a crowdfunding campaign for something similar for sneakers: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/shiftwear-customize-your-kicks#/

And a video of almost 10 years ago showing e-ink on even more flexible cloth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J17KgbjYMro

from 2018 an example of a dress, though this looks like it uses more traditional e-ink displays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1igtN8tOr8 and a similar one a year earlier, though not worn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS5zJtapcKo
