It's fascinating that while languages vary wildly by speaking speed, information transfer is fairly similar.
  • Both of those languages LOVE to compound their nouns - smashing smaller words into massive ones. Like the simple "pasta + asciutta = pastasciutta = dried pasta" or not simple "Donau­dampfschifffahrts­gesellschafts­kapitän = Danube steamship transport company captain". All languages do it, but these do it with gusto.

  • "the enemy within"
  • Sadly some people think "revenge" is a good enough platform to qualify sometime for the top office. As long as the revenge is at least pretending to target people they already don't like or that they've been programmed to think had wronged them in some way.

  • Why is sucking better than blowing?
  • Isn't this just a simple case of "get the moisture away"? Blowing into the dishwasher doesn't move the moist air away, it just moves it around in the box. Blowing out pulls the moist air away from the dishes and out into the room.

    If your box fan was pushing dry hot air (like a hair dryer), hot enough to meaningfully speed up evaporation, then blowing in would probably be better.

    Do you have a vasectomy? Why or why not?
  • I'm one of those "horror stories", the 3% who have post-procedure pain (dull ache) for the 1st year, and 5% of those whose pain continues after.

    And still, no regrets. The occasional dull ache is SO worth the benefits.

  • What's your default pocket loadout?
    • Front right: Wallet, pen, and folding knife
    • Front right coin pocket: Tiny Swiss Army knife - mostly for the scissors
    • Front left: Phone
    • Back right: Whatever to do list I have for the day, car keys on carbineer tucked in
    • Back left: nada
    • Cargo pockets or others: whatever my kids have handed me to hold onto for them. Today: 13¢, two painted rocks, and a Lego minifig
  • Why limit immigration?
  • There's also the carrying capacity of the area they're emigrating to. Housing in particular is one aspect of it that's already very very tight in most of the Western world. Even without immigration per se, this problem plays out every time a major company moves headquarters to a new city/state. Lots of new people, and a very slow to respond housing stock means surging prices. Schools and other social services also get stretched - but they're much quicker to respond to the demand.
