We throw away 200+ lbs of clean rubber every week. I'll mail it to you for the cost of shi

Every week, my small rubber stamp factory in Minnesota sends hundreds of pounds of clean, high-quality natural rubber to the landfill. It kills me. This is the stuff trimmed off the edges of our stamps. It's soft, natural red rubber, no dirt, no contamination.

I've posted before and gotten tons of great suggestions. I've reached out to every single one. Mulch recyclers, playground surfacing, crafters, art teachers, makerspaces, you name it. Nobody wants it. Most would rather grind up dirty old tires than take clean rubber from a stamp shop. I can't make it make sense.

It's free. You just pay shipping, which works out to about $1/lb. I'll ship as much as you want. Use it for crafts, gaskets, packing material, garden mulch, art projects, whatever. I just want it to go somewhere besides a landfill.

If this resonates with you, please crosspost it to any subreddit you think might want this. Crafters, gardeners, makers, sustainability, hobbies, anything. That's the real ask.

Email nic@unitystampco.com or DM me.

Subaru delays in-house EV production after $362 million charge in tariffs fuel 90% profit plunge.

TOKYO — Subaru Corp. is taking a $362 million charge and delaying production of its independently developed electric vehicle in Japan as slowing EV demand reshapes the automaker’s electrification strategy, forcing a tilt back to hybrids and internal combustion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL6S0eQkMXM

Blinker camera?

I'm still a bit in the window shopping phase since my Impreza is still trucking, but the Bolt is one of the few smaller EVs on the market, so it's definitely on my list.

I've been trying to figure out if the '27 has the side view of the blinker cameras when you turn the blinker on? My wife's Ioniq 6 does, and it's a nice addition to checking over your shoulder, especially in more hectic traffic.

I saw a passing reference to some of the GM EVs having it, but couldn't figure out which models have it. (Probably because IDK what GM's marketing term is for it. Lol)

Uncharted rear leg room

I feel like reviews of the Uncharted are all over the place about rear leg room, but this one put it in the context of the Crosstrek, which I found helpful as an Impreza driver.

"At 6 feet 4, I fit just fine up front, and it’s easy to get comfy in the well-padded, if slightly flat, front seats. But with the front seats adjusted for me, the back seat is a tight fit. The GT’s panoramic sunroof also detracts from headroom. For tall people, both knees and upper bodies are pinched, but it’s fine for folks under about 5 feet 9. The Crosstrek has the same issue with legroom but not headroom. The Uncharted’s rear doors are pretty small too, so loading and unloading kids might not be so easy."

We finally got a Trailseeker and Uncharted in here, and I was able to park my Impreza next to them.

The Uncharted is only four inches longer than my car, IIRC, but it looks a lot bulkier. Some of that is being higher like a Crosstrek and the added height from the battery pack underneath. I think a lot of it too is the higher hood line, which I don't love. I suspect this might impact forward visibility a bit, so that's another point in favor of going with the Sport or GT for the cameras.

The Trailseeker looks good in photos, but even better in person. The camera certainly adds some pounds, because in person it really looks like a svelte wagon. I felt like I was seeing the ghost of the Legacy Wagon. Lol

I think a lot of that is the roof rack. I remember liking the Outback Touring with the flush rails better than its contemporaries as well when that was a thing. I'm very excited to see how these look once people get them lowered.
