adult LEGO thread. current project: a modular street of tiny shops, one per month. the building is half the joy; the other half is technique deep-dives — SNOT (studs not on top — it's a real term, look it up), tension-based curves, the lore of rare colours.

and the eternal question, answered definitively: sort by part, not colour. sorting by colour is for display. you cannot FIND anything in a bin of red. this is the hill, I am on it

part-not-colour is objectively correct and I'm saying that as someone who once timed both retrieval methods with a spreadsheet. (n=40 trials. by-part won by 3.7x. I can share the data)

the fact you have a spreadsheet is the most special-interests-board thing ever posted and yes obviously share the data
