Plastic does not blend well with a natural material like leather. The two energies clashes against one an other. When you intertwine plastic into the leather you break this beautiful aura emitted by the leather. Linen will instead amplify it.
This short article will explain in more details:

In my beginnings I was using linen until I switched to polyester. I used it for a while out of convenience but I always knew something wasn't quite right. I knew polyester wasn't "real thread". I think I could feel it wasn't supposed to be mixed with leather.

My recent experiment involved using this leather alternative (grown from reishi mushrooms) as a drum head.
It's developed by a company called Mycoworks and they didn't tell me that it's embedded with a linen weave, but that makes sense, and it turned out to be a good thing, because although reishi is quite tough, it ain't quite rawhide, in terms of tensile strength.
But having the weave seems to help it pass muster and produce a pleasing drum sound which is like no other. The first test drum ripped a little, the second did not. They both sound great, and the aura of each feels really nice.
Thanks for sharing your interesting note.
Please study neuroplasticity.
Applied neuroplasticity is a preventative lifestyle choice that helps delay the onset and severity of dementia symptoms in all humans (but to varying degrees based on multiple complex factors).
The key takeaway is that asymptomatic people can do something NOW to prevent or delay the future development of this condition in themselves, and also that people already suffering from dementia (especially early-onset stage patients) have many useful tools to make life with dementia more manageable and less severe for as long as possible.
Applied neuroplasticity basically consists of maintaining a physically active and cognitively challenging lifestyle.
A person must challenge themselves to try something difficult until they get good at it. This increase in quality of performance is mirrored in the brain as increases in neural density and connectivity, making the brain more resilient, and cumulatively contributing to what's called 'cognitive reserve.'
The objective of applied neuroplasticity is to fortify cognitive reserve as much as possible throughout life so that it will be resilient in the face of inevitable cognitive decline. Those who remain active physically and mentally throughout life will generally fare better than those who don't.
If this family member of yours is still in the early-onset phase, then it's recommended that they engage in cognitively stimulating activities to whatever degree they are capable (while not pushing too hard, as dementia sufferers tend to be more easily aggravated by pressure, confusion, doubt, and demanding situations.)
Simple walking has benefits, and any other exercise helps, because it increases blood flow in the brain. Appropriate mental challenges include practicing disciplines of mastery: playing musical instruments, choreographed dancing (balet, salsa, ballroom dancing, etc), singing, sports (including golf, bowling), games (including billiards and darts), yoga, hand-eye coordination challenges (sewing, knitting, crocheting, complex knot-tying, etc.), and basically anything difficult that a person can master, so another great example is trying to learn a language be it a spoken language like French or a written computer coding language like Python.
It's also surprisingly beneficial to get into the hobby of assembling jigsaw puzzles. This mental fitness is a triathlon for a person's brain: concurrently analyzing for color, pattern, shape, and orientation of pieces, while switching gears back and forth between global image and granular details. This is a problem the brain becomes invested in solving, and THAT is key. It must be important to the mind, or it will not be recorded in the brain.
One more special point about neuroplasticity: Music is a magic key that can unlock lost memories. If it's not already too late, now is the time to ask this relative of yours what were their favorite and most memorable, emotionally impactful songs throughout their life. Each person has their own playlist, but personally significant music has the power to transport us to a time and place associated with that song. This means that music is part of the tool-kit to both prevent and treat dementia symptoms.
The first book that unlocked all this insight for me is called "Soft-Wired" by Dr. Michael Merzenich, one of the principal developers of a technology now commonly known as hearing aids.
Enjoy the cognitive enrichment your life has to offer and seize every opportunity for growth and development.
Thanks for asking this question. The topic of mental health is VERY important to me, and it's my humble honor to have been readily prepared to give you this comprehensive explanation off the top of my head (applied neuroplasticity has been a subject of study and a way of life for me since becoming adult-bilingual in my 20s).
It is my hope that this information might help you and your family ✌️
(Sorry for the long-winded response 😅)
It makes me wonder, is this trivializing the beauty of the years of painstaking work that went into developing this distinctive art style, or is it celebrating the fact that Ghibli has firmly established itself in the global zeitgeist?
mixed feelings abound, ne?
You noticed it too, huh?
Where are all these coming from? Is there some new Ghibli-theme meme generator or something?
The ones that smell really good get smoked.
Flower smokers of the world will attest to this floral fact.
Flowers are really awesome indeed, even the ones people don't smoke.
Bog Myrtle is one such flower. This wild flower makes me happy just by looking at it.

Awesome addition to the conversation here. Thanks!
There does seem to be an overlap between telegony and epigenetics, and this is good stuff to learn. It's really fun to tinker with the puzzle pieces of why things are the way they are now and how they came to be this way.
You bring up a good point that helps me tinker more.
Thanks again!
Technically speaking it's in my mind, and no matter where you look in my head you won't find my mind, so please do not open my head and look inside.
Where's my billion dollar crop and the tens of thousands of products we can make from it? (Also from Popular Mechanics, published in 1937)
80 years later, all we got is legal recreational weed and CBD products, when what we really want is hempcrete and stuff like that!
Don't let them commingle with wild ducks or use the same water or hang out in the same places. It seems that bird flu only spreads in the wild, but it kills in captivity. This is secondhand, so please follow up with some DIY research.
The actual reason for abstinence before marriage is merely a Malthusian argument for population control. God was long ago inserted to make this argument seem more legitimate and authoritative.
Study of neuroplasticity led my mind to start thinking in this way. It's good thoughts!
On the Xhitter, if you don't actively block Elon Musk, he always appears at the top of your feed. His drivel is always the first turd to come out of that bot-infested, ad-addled cyber sphincter.
That was kinda the last straw. It's been all nostr for me since then.
But overconfidence can make a person blind to some things
Gotta find the middle ground, and without conforming to others
Another person who thinks the content of the present moment is somehow stuck in an eternal unchanging state.
Another victim of the conditioning for instant gratification. They can see Now or Never, but nothing in between.
