        I'd highly recommend Ben Rich's book on Skunk Works.

        Ordered, as I am fascinated...

        @pechelman

        Y’all should listen to this podcast about Lockheed. It is lengthy and from the perspective of VC guys but gets into a lot of the history of the skunk works. I am sure they sourced Rich’s book.

        Think it, be it.

              @steelworker I think we might need to define "crotch blowout." I've always thought it was from the thighs rubbing together near the crotch seam. It sounds like you're describing something else entirely 😂

                I get the biker blowouts. If you're painting your jeans on thats the problem. In my not at all humble opinion.

                    @seawolf what about "negative space", I heard that in a video of some young bucks selling some really worn vintage jumpers being like "the jumper has some really cool negatives spaces" 🤮

                          @seawolf it's the space between some people's ears.

                          Edit: that's my interpretation of negative space.

                            @goosehd As a designer, when I hear negative space, it's all about visual weight of what's not there. It's the space around and between elements in a composition. It’s not “empty”; it’s active, guiding the eye, creating rhythm, and shaping meaning.

                            But I'm not sure that's what @JoshC is talking about. Was "negative spaces" being confused with "showing wear and tear" as it related to their vintage jumpers?

                                        @seawolf haha sorry I misread your message I thought you said about coming up with a different term to "crotch blowouts" rather then "define" and I was just saying about how I heard someone the other day selling a vintage jumper that had alot of holes through wear and tear but the jumper was just fucked and they was using "negative space" as edgy word to sell there jumper haha, I was disgusted haha. but lets not use negative space a new way to explain blowouts.

                                        @goosehd that would be me, there's a lot of negative space there haha
