“Helico” sounds like it could be a delightfully antiquated-sounding clipping of helicopter. Perhaps some Victorian gentleman is ushering you into the helico.
It would at least be interesting if one was writing a similar world, but wanted more unique language.
“Get in the ‘pter” is a bit more clumsy though.

The modern ones are cast, but last time I checked still require some force to break the slices off their central sprue / core.
What were the older ones you’re referring to if they weren’t cast like that? Now I am curious lol. - Comment on Chocolite 2 weeks ago:
Yep, it’s break-apart slices of chocolate. You knock it on a table and they separate. I used to like them, and either I can’t find the brand I used to get or my tastes have changed, because the ones I have tried in the past few years just aren’t good.
(I do like orange + chocolate still, in a chocolate bar!)

unfortunately as far as I know RCS is closed down. only Google messages on android and iMessage on iOS support it (maybe some other proprietary options, but no FOSS options).

yeah, you can’t really buy a car that doesn’t have mobile data for “telemetry” (your driving data is sold to insurance companies)
even base trims get some phone app stuff, meaning there’s the ability to execute commands on the car. so, if they really wanted, there’s nothing stopping automakers from bricking your car, gas or EV, because they feel like it.
yipee…

Yep. My pan gets hand washing with a few drops of soap after every use and it's fine.
Lye, or sodium hydroxide, strips the seasoning layers. It used to be used in soap.
People use it when restoring cast iron in the modern day to strip old seasoning off. Then they can start againt and re-seaaon!
