One thing I found helpful during the heat dome in 2021 was to dump cold water over my head every so often (just used a medium-size bowl and leaned over the kitchen sink). I didn't even bother drying my hair (just don't do this if your shirt would be damaged by getting wet).
Have men always sworn more than women? And, if so, why?
Definitely not! Historians of the English language describe how women were equally praised for their command of exceedingly expressive insults and swearing, right up to the point in 1673 when a book by Richard Allestree was published titled The Ladies Calling.” Allestree says that women who swear are acting in a way that is biologically incompatible with being a woman and, as a result, will begin to take on masculine characteristics, like growing facial hair or becoming infertile. He wrote, “There is no sound more odious to the ears of God than an oath in the mouth of a woman.

Perhaps we have a new path for women to transition to men?

Hey now!
I take showers, so I guess I’m like coffee.
Am I allowed to make jokes about liking one's men like one's coffee?

Hey now!
Like Airplane!?
I take mine iced with cream, no sugar. Sugar beverages get my stomach upset, as does black coffee.
I got some Diet Coke in the fridge I might have here soon. Out of coffee.

Exactly! It's that film where there's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and he doesn't work enough on defence!
In Canada, it's reasonable to answer "Crisp" if asked how you like your coffee.
We have a chocolate bar called Coffee Crisp (are they ever addictive...).

Maybe in the not so distant future (if it becomes practical), new units will be exactly based on the speed of light to be used also for local speeds.
I think the meter is now defined in terms of the speed of light, or at least the wavelength of light with is a linked feature.

Maybe I'll make a thread called "So-so socialism." Maybe the problem is that socialism has been overhyped, and if offered a mediocre version, more people would be receptive.
