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.
