It's there purposely as a part of the satire. It's meant to be a critique of the use of passive voice in news headlines.
To add onto what @[email protected] said, there is a bit of a learning curve. Once you can consistently get the angle right it's like shaving with a stick of butter. I also shave my face every other day and I even use it to shave my head once a week.
I'm coming up on 2 years of ownership and have barely gone through 2/3 of my initial 100 count pack that cost $15 USD. It's one of those products where there's a bit of an initial investment that saves significant money long term.
When talking about AC power, some of the power consumed doesn't actually produce real work. It gets used in the generation of magnetic fields and charges in inductors and capacitors.
The power being used in an AC system can be simplified by using a right triangle. The x axis is the real power being used by resistive parts of the circuit (in kilowatts, KW). The y axis is reactive power, that is power being used to maintain magnetic fields and charges (in kilovolt-amperes reactive, KVAR). And the hypotenuse is the total power used by the circuit, or KVA (kilovolt-amperes).
Literal side note: they're all the same units, but the different sides of the triangle are named differently to differentiate in writing or conversation which side of the power triangle is being talked about. Also, AC generator ratings are given in KVA, so you need to know the total impedance of your loads you want to power and do a bit of trig to see if your generator can support your loads.
The reactive component of AC power is denoted by complex numbers when converting from polar coordinates to Cartesian.
Anyways, I almost deleted this because I figured your comment was a joke, but complex numbers and right triangles have real world applications. But power triangles are really just simplifications of circles. By that I mean phasors rotating in a complex plane, because AC power is a sine wave.
Nightmares are dreams, too.
I've been listening to a lot of post-hardcore punk lately. To cherry pick a few of my favorites from lesser known bands:
A little mixed up, there. The French were meant to have the contract to build nuclear powered subs for Australia, but the UK fucked the French by taking the contract, with some US help.
The creation of the partnership spelled the end of a French–Australian submarine deal. On 17 September 2021, France recalled its ambassadors from Australia and the US; French foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian called the partnership a "stab in the back"[10] following Australia's cancellation of the deal worth €56 billion (A$90 billion) without notice,[11][12][13] ending recent efforts to develop a deeper strategic partnership between France and Australia.
That was a large part of the charm for me in Tunic. The core mechanic was collecting pages of the instruction booklet as you adventured so you could learn the mechanics of the game. The other part of that being the manual was written in an unknown language* and you'd need to infer what the instructions meant using context clues. It was an absolute blast and hit the dopamine button when I figured out some puzzles.
*Btw, if you know, you know
I've heard "jilling" used. I like it because it mirrors the term "jacking."
Should've added the /s at the end, my dude. Sarcasm detectors don't work on Internet text.
Also, after reading your comment I immediately thought of the gummy block ships from Kingdom Hearts and lol'd at myself.

The second sentence of the Wikipedia article literally says about 2/3 were American citizens.
The section on 'Exclusion, removal, and detention' says "[s]omewhere between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry were subject to this mass exclusion program, of whom about 80,000 Nisei (second generation) and Sansei (third generation) were U.S. citizens."
So yes, second and third generation Japanese Americans, natural born citizens, were held in American concentration camps.
