I mean… I don’t disagree, but no other nation put “America” in their name. “United” and “States” are even more generic. Heck, "United States" isn’t even distinctive.

  • “Uni” is already “university”,
  • “Statist” is already something else
  • Statian / station
  • Stater / stator
  • Unitian / munition
  • “Unitarian” is already something
  • Unit 👎
  • Unish 👎
  • Ustan / Houston
  • UnStan, UnStian, UniStan, UniStAm👎
  • “Yank(ee)” is almost exclusively derogatory, and a fair chunk of the nation uses it to denigrate a different chunk.
  • “Yu-ess-ee-an” is just unbelievably awful
  • Usonian” didn’t take off, but we could give it another go 🤷‍♂️

Yes, though it does not affect the nutritive content or prevent subsequent cultures from taking root, so you can still inoculate irradiated foodstuffs with live ginger bug, yeast, scoby, mother, etc. or open air ferment.

Thank goodness DOGE is saving us so much to pay for it 🤪

Windows 11 ended support for vertical taskbars and the default setting is along the bottom with the tasks centered. You can change the “taskbar alignment” setting to “left” but that just aligns the tasks to the left side of the bar. There apparently was a registry hack that allowed you to move the taskbar, but that got patched out by the time my work updated my workstation

Hey Windows, set my taskbar to run vertically along the left side of my screen. 🖕

I didn’t even see the piano! Now it makes sense.

  1. We do! Or, at least we are allowed to. I’m mostly aware of it being done with meats.
  2. The FDA requires that irradiated foods bear… the statement “Treated with radiation”…

  3. The word “radiation” is scary to the general public. It conjures thoughts of glowing rocks and nuclear fallout. It makes folk imagine that their food might be radioactive.

  1. It’s a new market. Well… new enough to not be well understood by the general public, or by the contractors getting into it.
  2. It’s techy. That that attracts a certain…entrepreneurial personality.
  3. The prospective customers are people who can already afford a home.
  4. it can be pitched as “it’ll pay for itself”
