text from Terry Pratchett; art by Higgs who's tumblr i've linked
i can’t rember which book this is from – i wanna say it’s Men at Arms but it could even be Guards Guards. Higgs seems to think it’s Night Watch, but I’m pretty sure it happened before that…

I am using some products created in a state that doesn’t exist anymore. Comparable Western products are mostly not functioning anymore - for that specific product line. Why?
Cause the planers did think about the resources used and lifetime of items and created long lasting products.
Years ago my wardrobe was basically just anything i could get from army surplus stores. Not only did that stuff last (and i still own), but it was also the cheapest place to shop. Now i barely bother buying clothes because they fall apart too quickly.
Army surplus stores have disappeared from the face of the earth. I miss 'em.
I got some great stuff from them over the years. One of the only places where i could get jeans that fit for $5 each. I still wear a lot of it, especially for my daily summer wear.
