- Comment on What metrics are deoderant companies using to calculate their "72hr protection" numbers? 5 weeks ago:
They also usually use some weasel words like “up to.” That way, if it doesn’t last the full 72 hours (which it won’t), they can claim that they stated “72 hours MAXIMUM” rather than just “72 hours.” It’s basically shifts the statement from “lasts three days” to “definitely won’t last four days.”

It’s pretty easy to break water down, but it’s also super easy to make it - just burn anything organic.
Usually you can’t see the water being formed, but there’s actually a really common example: car exhausts on a cold day. If you notice a bit of water dripping out of the tailpipe of the car in front of you at a red light, that’s actually the moisture in the exhaust fumes condensing on the cold tailpipe.

The responses are tagged “translator,” so I ran “kde” into Google translate set on detect language… Turns out, “kde” is both a Linux thing and the Czech word for “where.”
