Sorry, no sheep available.
How about some airport chickens?
@artcollisions Yeah, BOSL is an OpenSCAD library! I used it here as well! And I agree, Claude is largely now more proficient with it than I am.
@artcollisions Oh wait, Adrian the maintainer of BOSL?? Worlds colliding! I’ve been using it for a while now!
Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Highland Cow Stuffed Animal. All cows are Highland cows, most of them are just shaved so that their white and black spotted skin is visible.

Thanks to everyone who's replied! From the messages so far:
Fedi favorites:
Duluth Trading Company
LL Bean
Cautioned against:
J.Jill — quality has gone down recently.
Lands End — sold to private equity within the last year.
And others to look into:
Coldwater Creek
North Style
Talbots
JC Penney
Old Navy
Costco
Maggie's Organics
Uniqlo
Christopher & Banks
Eileen Fisher, a B Corp
And then there's Appleseeds, which has returned after disappearing. It used to be a go-to for me, but I wonder if the quality stayed the same as before.
Note that Etsy is probably out unless you have a specific vendor to recommend, given all the problems there.

(Edited to add some to the list of ones to look into, and to mention Appleseeds and WorseOnPurpose.)

Cymru 🏴 28 🏉 Japan 🇯🇵 21
An intense hard-fought game. Lots of brilliance but also many mistakes, by both sides. It felt closer than the score suggests. Josh Adams was outstanding.

#Fediverse, ihr seid gefragt - wir müssen jetzt gemeinsam laut werden und das 
retten!
Die EU-Kommission hat ein neues Gesetz vorgeschlagen – #EUKidsAct – mit dem massenhafte Online-Kontrollen drohen.
⚠️ Die geplanten Auflagen für Online-Dienste gefährden insgesamt die Teilhabe & Privatsphäre online.
⚠️ Der Vorschlag orientiert sich an Big Tech. Das Fediverse droht dabei als Kollateralschaden unter die Räder zu kommen.
Das müssen wir aufhalten. Und noch können wir etwas dagegen tun:

@harris Adrian is reporting similar successes with BOSL (a library for 3d printing that he's been working on for a few years now). He recently did something with gears and Claude was able to improve the code in ways that were inaccessible to Adrian.
@artcollisions Yeah, BOSL is an OpenSCAD library! I used it here as well! And I agree, Claude is largely now more proficient with it than I am.

Liner Notes for James Ferraro's 2010 album "Last American Hero"
Reflecting on election results... How I feel is that I'm disturbed that hate still sells!
Maybe with special votes or coalition negotiations things will move in a lefty direction, & maybe we'll at least have a better finance minister than Nicola Willis!
Then again I'm seeing politics elsewhere move in a positive direction, so perhaps that'll bring out votes in the next election.
All that said... I try not to rely on electoral politics to make the change I want, this keeps me calm!
I read that this is the 2nd lowest turnout in NZ history. Voter suppression was part of that, but it does support my theory that with everything going wrong right now in international politics... Voters, particularly young voters, are demotivated.
On that line... Chris Hipkins must go! He's now lost Labour 2 elections! Get someone exciting.
