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

New anti-harrassment feature spotted in the wild: if you see a "Reject Create.Note" activity from a thread owner, it means that thread owner has elected to prune that comment from their thread as spam/harrassment.
Feature was spotted coming together in pixelfed-
https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/951
Like, imagine if you could just reject a reply-guy? It's valid activitypub. I'll support it in ionch. Let's make it happen.
