The question is kind of impossible because they all have trade off. Are you looking for something specific? The only thing that doesn’t have an upside as far as I know is microfiber (which sheds micro plastics badly).

From years of working retail I’ve concluded that people have very different reactions to different fabric types. I’d look in your closet and pull out 5-10 of your favorite pieces and look at the tags. Personally I like different fabrics for different things, I like pure cottons and silks, but I don’t usually like things that are 100% wool. I like cashmere, but I also like spandex. I don’t think there are any blends that I straight up won’t buy, because I like natural and synthetic, but I do weigh the fabric against the price. So a top that’s $90 but a really cheap blend…to me not worth it, but if that same top were $10 I might buy it. Does that help?
ETA:
Also if the issue is consumption/sustainability, IMO the biggest factor in the life of clothes is size (meaning buying the correct size for you, and not something too small) and how you care for the clothes (i.e. washing them inside out, hand washing when appropriate, putting almost everything in bags while washing, and line drying everything you possibly can). I have seen absolutely zero consistency in lifespan based on fabric type alone.

How do you all store your bread? I keep mine on the counter on a large cutting board, often covered or wrapped in a towel, but we get a LOT of crumb spillage on the counter and am thinking about other options.

Ziploc bags I reuse as long as I can, out on counter for first couple days. Beyond that I put in fridge or freezer to keep them unmoldy.

Same, though never in the fridge, and I pre-slice if freezing.

In a bag in the fridge after it’s been cut (I make all our bread).
Anyone have recommendations for low cost accounting software?
Purpose: track incoming and outgoing, would ideally also log receipts, for a v smol business.
I am accepting that my current process is not good enough.

Hm. I don’t love that it’s a subscription style model for Quickbooks (i.e. 13$/25$ per month). I might keep poking around.

Yep! Very well known in the B2B realm, and I think their free and cheap stuff is good; user friendly interface and a huge ecosystem so you can add things on at will as you grow. FWIW I’ve done pretty in depth reviews of these types of systems. I also think their customer service is a bit better than some other companies at the same price point.

Funny you should mention that… I’m heading home via a more northern route that absolutely can include Minneapolis.
I ended up choosing MO over IA for the westward journey because I get to see my KC friend tomorrow.
