nitrogen!

bad idea: put a space heater and a portable air conditioner next to each other, turn both on, and see which one wins

today we learned: they make (or made) 12 μAh rechargeable lithium cells in little DFN packages

I can't really see much use for this but the package choice is interesting. capacity leaves a lot to be desired though

(if you're wondering if you count among that "all of you" the answer is yes)

there are a bunch of people on here I don't talk to much but I do appreciate all of you and you're good

I don't know what to do about this problem because this apartment won't fit another bookshelf

we have too many books and video games, they don't fit on the bookshelf

It's a perfectly valid transliteration and probably does a bit better a job of showing how it's pronounced than Mendeleev does, as long as you treat the j as /j/ and not /dʒ/, but it's just amusing that it basically could be shortened to Jeff. You know, Jeff, the periodic table guy.

Apparently, one of the first English reports of Mendeleev's periodic table transliterated his name as Mendelejeff.

found a little spider friend in our bedroom. It was cute! I relocated it outside with the help of a napkin and a scrap of card.

I want to take whatever piggly wiggly's slogan is and stick a yoom-tah in it somewhere but we have literally never been to a piggly wiggly and have no idea what its slogan is

piggly wigglytuff

sometimes I remember that there's a grocery store called piggly wiggly and just

who came up with that name??

ancient famous people had really good names (probably ancient non-famous people did too but we don't know their names because they didn't get their names preserved to the modern day)

Vercingetorix, Anaximander, Zhuge Liang, al-Khwarizmi

they're just Really Good Names

I guess al-Khwarizmi probably doesn't count as ancient though, he's more medieval time period

if we're including medieval names too though, Moctezuma/Montezuma is another good one

consider: a natural programming language

we've been feeling really... not right lately ,and we can't really put a finger on why

I keep getting stuck at front when Rose wants to front, we forget to eat until it's too difficult to make anything to eat, just. I don't know what's wrong

one of my pet peeves about marketing is that zinc-chloride batteries are frequently sold as "heavy-duty" despite being worse than alkaline batteries in basically every way

this is because when they were newly invented, they were capable of heavier-duty tasks than other batteries on the market, so whatever agencies regulate battery labelling said "okay you can call these heavy-duty"

then alkaline cells were invented and the awful zinc-chloride cells are still called heavy-duty
