A range of amphetamine compounds are approved for the treatment of ADHD.
Methamphetamine, what people generally talk about when they say meth, is not.

Many internet-goers like to give pedantry a hard time, but I just want to let you know that I love it and all the niche facts it brings.

I do, but rarely. Maybe every other month or so. The situations I do use it, I’ve been thankful that I avoided phones without a jack. I like having appropriate tools at my disposal, and bluetooth will never be universally applicable.

Def Bulgaria with toasting knowledge like this.

Buy concert tickets if you want to support musicians, streaming income doesn’t really factor into it afaik.

Huh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen writing in a dream.

Like incest for computers. Random fault goes in, multiplies and is passed down.

In some situations, we use “o” for the number 0. Been hunting around for a reason but I think it’s just an abbreviation of zero.

12:01AM is definitely 00:01, so 12AM is midnight.

Agree though, 24hr clock is just better.

Ah fuck.

For trebuchets at least, they were only siege weapons, took a long time to both assemble and fire. Though I must concede they were better than melee weapons for knocking down walls.

Giant, geode, gel, george, gerbil. Just sayin’.

Polymer bonded to frying pans to make them non-stick.

Most were farmers, maybe read.

It’s not a debate skill issue, it’s an education issue. What bad faith actors do when pretending to debate is just real-time trolling, they’re not interested in debate, and debating lends legitimacy to their idiocy. “Don’t feed the troll.” People need to educated enough that they themselves walk away from disingenuous debates and stop listening.

Decilitres/centilitres are relatively common, but they’re the only ones that come to mind.

In French (and probably many other languages) first person plural is more polite. People in England started defaulting to “you” as it was a safer bet socially, and “thou” fell out of use.

English also used thorn (þ) before for “th” but printing presses didn’t, and substituted “y”, which I suspect contributed.
