That's kinda what row vs sea is doing now but I agree it would be more transparent to do it this way. Good idea imo.

Also I read back through the row judging comments, apparently some of them think that these lower contrast fades look more natural and that they involve less manipulation or intent by the owners. Seems to me bleach and lots of washing is just the opposite of what they value despite them favoring that aesthetic requiring more "artificial" wear and fading.

I've got no problem with washing or even bleaching in general but it just points out the clear issue with the judging imo.

Never heard of high contrast getting referred to as "cartoonish".
But I guess that sums up the row judging. They wanted a totally different aesthetic and without disclosing their judging method before the comp, it's coming as a big shock. I imagine some people would have done things differently or not entered at all had they been transparent.

@Cents-or-Non-Cents row third place was for sure. She's documented it on her reddit posts. Like I said above, I really dig her pair and respect her for doing her own thing and making her own jeans but those are wild card / honorable mention jeans all day long compared to the others.

Seems like they could open this up to full public voting, charge 1$? to register as a voter, have that go towards the purse, and call that the people's choice or something?

After nearly a decade traveling everywhere with my trusty m240 and m246, I decided I really wanted to simplify and streamline. While I will always deeply miss the m246, I thought this was the best compromise. Already loving the ux and how it is ostensibly much more modern in capability and software but that it feels even simpler in actual use. Good job with "Das Wesentliche" design ethic imo.

Agree it looks like there was a totally different aesthetic chosen for rest of world.

I've loosely followed Ella's posting on Reddit and think it's super cool she made those herself and i like how she dgaf about things other nerds do like using bleach and washing a ton, but having those jeans show up in a top three should never happen with the other submissions.

My only problem is Aja is how freaking overplayed it is in audiophile circles because of how well it was produced.

how's yours wearing @endo ?
Is it still pretty crunchy/crispy?

you're welcome @prpx
glad that worked out

After I tinkered with this myself, I think I read somewhere and in a newer cocktail book that the creator of this spec missed including gin in the original printing but that it was always intended to be there. Forget where i read or heard that.

surprised you didnt like some of the other shows if you liked Dexter. Feel like i should have stopped watching that show around the john lithgow days.
