Put a dry towel under the damp one if you must

Uniqueness is not a thing people generally desire.

Tuck a damp towel into your collar.

The scent molecules are polar and will stick to the water molecules in the towel.

A fountain pen is just a controlled leak

Identifying might be the best word to use, given the psychology literature all tends to use that, but thank you for your critique.

Why are people so interested in defining themselves along sexual identity and orientation in relatively recent western culture?

Why now? Why is it so different from most of human existence?

Because we are no longer facing famine. The Green Revolution has made our relationship with food so secure we no longer define ourselves in relation to it.

Throughout most of history people are farmers or ranchers or shepherds or bakers or butchers or millers.

So, we climb the Biological hierarchy of needs looking for our next characteristic that needs fulfillment.

“Metal Fabrication”

Vim makes it easy to edit text in complicated ways, once you’ve learned it.

Vim is not easy to learn nor intuitive.

It is simple and compounding.

You might not ever edit enough text to ever need to learn a new skillset to edit text. If that’s the case, use nano.

But if you do find yourself editing a lot of text, consider trying vimtutor.

It takes 20 minutes and you’ll be proficient enough to match nano’s efficiency ceiling.

We’re talking about nicknames.

New York Yankees = City Nickname

Yankee Global Enterprises, LLC = official legal name

It’s a tradition that mostly started with just the name of the color of their socks.

Not really any different than the Italian National team being “Azzurri”

Both have temu-level garbage, but it’s cheaper on Amazon.

Currently, as they are dying today, yes.

This is not how malls have traditionally worked.

In the past, malls provided a plug-and-play way for national chain retail to offer premium, private-labeled goods that allowed them to extract money away from a community’s locally owned stores found on main street.

Malls were just a way to privatize mainstreet and allow the ownership class of capitalists to extract more money from a local economy through large chain stores and to give them private control over what used to be public space.

Now the middle class is worth a fraction of what it used to be, their purpose has dissolved.

People use Amazon instead of the mall because they can still afford the Temu-level garbage Amazon sells.

Yeah, Reddit was like that about a decade or more ago.

The current level of bot activity there is actually insane.

Everybody loves their first Diamondback.

They are basically dinosaurs.

American Robins are not the same as European Robins.

American Robins were named so because they vaguely reminded British settlers of their robins “from home”.

Non-utilitized internet service.

Internet providers ARE UTILITIES. Regulate them like one.

That Evil Wizards name?

Siatama.

On-demand (or surge) power generation like this is much different then base power generation like you get from solar, wind or nuclear (or theoretically fusion).

Long story short, any functional power grid needs both because generation has to match demand, and demand is uneven and wonky.

The most common surge power source is small natural gas plants. This is a replacement for those.

It presumes there will be extra electricity.

There’s always extra electricity. Eg. Solar generates power during the day, charges this “battery” and then powers lighting at night when demand is higher and people need to be able to see.
