If you are not familiar with the concept of sleep and/or waking up you may want to do the same.

- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 5 weeks ago:
That’s… not at all how those work. It’s literally a roll of clean dry towel.
If the towel is wet it’s because you didn’t pull out fresh towel and just decided to use old towel for some reason.
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 5 weeks ago:
It has a clean roll and a dirty roll. Someone takes out the dirty roll and replaces the clean roll periodically. Apparently they typically have about 30 meters of cloth, enough for about 200 uses.
How often that is, depends on how frequently it’s used.
There are cleaning services that wash the cloth and swap them for you.
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 5 weeks ago:
I mean someone would still have to go and open it up, swap the rolls around, plus it wouldn’t work well since the towels don’t wind up cleanly in the cabinet and they’d still be wet.
If you’re gonna send someone in to do anything they might as well change the towels while they’re at it.

A towel dispenser?
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 5 weeks ago:
They don’t go around more than once… there’s a take-up roll and the clean roll. Of course it also relies on someone changing it when it gets to the end…
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 5 weeks ago:
Eh, not really. Certainly not difficult.
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 5 weeks ago:
Cloth towels are even better still.

Really any of those interpretations is just fine. Although I have my preference, I’m not gonna say anyone else is wrong.

Except it’s not Latin, it’s of Greek origin. So it’s octopodes.

I’ve never see a flight sim with reversed controls. They all work like a real plane joystick from what I’ve seen.

- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 4 months ago:
And why would “investigation is still ongoing” stop them from releasing it? My opinion: either a convenient excuse, or yet another self-own from the Democratic Party.
They chose not to release it, despite being under no true obligation.
- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 4 months ago:
Well, assuming “They were sealed until Jan 2024” is true, then from that point forward they could have been released but weren’t.

At the very minimum you are confidently incorrect about how universal those terms are.
British English uses “road surface” where US English uses “pavement”.
British English uses “pavement” where US English uses “sidewalk”
You can also find “metaling” as a general term for hard road surfaces.
Even “concrete” can be short for “asphalt concrete” or “bituminous asphalt concrete”, i.e. yet another name for that same thing.
I can’t find anywhere that uses “rigid pavement” as a term to mean specifically concrete based on Portland cement. To me it sounds like a general term which would cover both concrete and asphalt [concrete]. But I’ll trust that you didn’t just make it up.
