Only if you rarely eat them. They’ll last a few months before going rancid which is fine for many people.

Ah yes the famous 100% tax. /s

Great, they did it and were successful. Now they can fuck off and do something else with their money, hopefully not something so destructive to society.

If you taxed Zuckerburg, Musk, or Bezos 90% of their wealth, they would lose control of their companies
Not seeing the downside here.
- Comment on Birbs & Dinos 1 week ago:
That was a brilliant explanation, thank you.
para- and mono-phyletic were indeed the problem words. I can tell they are related to phylum but “phylum” doesn’t mean much to me except to know that it’s a word for some grouping of species.
The other part where I was snagged is the significance of cladistics and the new/old classification methods. I knew both terms as “words for groups of species and hadn’t dug further.
Between the family tree example and the diagram — got it, thanks to you and your sibling reply.
- Comment on Birbs & Dinos 1 week ago:
I kinda know what some of those words mean.
Can I get a picture?
- Comment on Sea Level 2 weeks ago:
That is pretty severely exaggerated though to emphasize the form.
- Comment on Who shops at small businesses? 4 weeks ago:
This, although I wish my town still had a local bakery and a hardware store.
- Comment on why 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s to make it less ambiguous.
In English you just use the same word and figure it out from context. Someone else gave some other Spanish examples but I like “right” (direction) = “la derecha” vs “right” (human rights) = “los derechos”.
Of course there’s still so many variants of meaning that grammatical gender doesn’t help much.

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

They’re talking about sleep.

- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 2 months 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? 2 months 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? 2 months 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.
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 2 months ago:
A towel dispenser?
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 2 months 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? 2 months ago:
Eh, not really. Certainly not difficult.
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 2 months 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.
