The Greek alphabet, which is the earliest known script to systematically include both consonants and vowels, is generally believed to have added vowels when it was adapted from the Phoenician script during the late 9th or early 8th century BCE.
Sorry, that paragraph is AI written but I was asking about something I know and too lazy to rewrite it myself.
The Phoenician alphabet which influenced the greek script had 22 letters afaik. Still doesn’t match the sides but it’s closer

I’m thinking a bit of both, but “definitely” to the first.

I actually googled it a bit, and idk when “hysteria” widened to include men as well, but the very first inventor of a vibrator for medical purposes said he wouldn’t use his “percuteur” for women as that would not be fitting. But he was a religious man afaik.
There were all sorts of galvanic stimulators and whatnot so I don’t think they were all as prudes as we might think.

They’re exactly looking to be treated for hysteria.
While the word know just means frantic and sort of crazed and can be applied to anyone, it’s originally about having a womb. From the greek word for a womb.
You’re obviously right that them getting sent to an asylum or getting their brain poked through their eye (although lobotomy wouldn’t be invented for like 30-40 years from their date) would be horrible.
But she’s also right that they did indeed used to “jerk off” female patients as a treatment for hysteria. Then the doctors got lazy about rubbing and fingering women until climax, so they invented the vibrator. I may be taking a few liberties with the story so Google it yourself to verify the historicity.

A citron is a specific fruit that looks really funky
I don’t see how those look funky. Could I get a comparison? If you were at mine and told me to fetch a lemon from the store, that’s what I’d bring.

I mean, they lay round cells, but because they layer them tightly, they get squeezed in, and form a hexagonal pattern. Possibly drying also affects it idk much about bee-engineering, apologies.

I don’t think it’s completely unrelated though. I don’t claim to understand what’s actually going but seems to me that whatever winds are whipping about there could create fronts that are sort of similar as pressure as what happens with honeycombs. In one it’s just the cells themselves create the pressure whereas here it’s the giant planetwide storms.
Idk.
As a an interplanetary stormologist. Or a geometrisist.

But time doesn’t mean growth, necessarily. A whole lot of companies are one man businesses, which don’t even plan to grow.
Hell, basically being an uber driver means you’re an entrepreneur with your own company, but slogging around drunks and pizzas all over town for 10 years doesn’t really improve the situation.
The punchline is that the person is loaded, yeah, but it doesn’t follow from the premise, and that’s kinda my point. It hasn’t been set up properly, see?

but those that move there, or are “settlers”, or endorse and support the “settler” policies are certainly land thieves.
Ah, so only a vast majority of them. Okay.

Being the CEO of your own company really isn’t a guarantee of much, though.
If he sais something like “CEO of a fortune 500 company”, that would be a bit different.
- Comment on Why is ethanol so tasty? 3 weeks ago:
Depends on where you’re from and what the regulations are, might have been just non-denatured high% vodka essentially. As so much was needed regulations weren’t the strictest everywhere.
Anyway, I’m not gonna believe you before I see you take a mouthful of 80% alc and swirl it around your mouth and smack smack smack mmm. Without making any sort of sour face.
Because if you do, then that’s actually medically concerning, because that’s a poison and we have systems in our bodies to make us not ingest poisons easily. As in, that’s why we can taste bitter. Alcohol isn’t bitter per se but it’s a volatile solvent, and at those percentages it’s just not in anything way a taste. It’s a sensation.
I may be wrong, but I don’t believe you. You also say you don’t "really drink, so I’m thinking a younger person who’s had a small hit and enjoyed the aftereffects and can’t now discern them.
- Comment on Why is ethanol so tasty? 3 weeks ago:
When you talk about “ethanol for disinfection”, do you mean denatured alcohol? Because if so, I believe you even less.
- Comment on Why is ethanol so tasty? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I’m not gonna believe this before I see you drinking 80% alcohol without making a sour face.

You’re right. Sure. We could do that.
Or we can just accept that the Wizarding World is actually made for children and not planned out in the same detail as Middle-Earth & Tolkien’s languages.
