When you put it that way, it's not nearly as expensive as I thought.

I also wonder about the cost of using the oven, and whether it's cheaper than just buying washing soda.

Sure, but the point is that fabric softener is not necessary.

At the very least in the case of towels (any type), it is actually counter productive, because it makes the towels less absorbent.

On top of that, it means clothes absorb less sweat, which, at first glance, seems like a good thing, until you realise it means your sweat will now stick to your skin longer, because it can't evaporate from your shirt.

I wouldn't be surprised if the one on Standard Ebooks is the same version, as that's where they get their texts from, for the most part.

I meant, which of the two questions was beside the point? And while I'm at it, why, exactly?

Oftentimes better than a master of one.

There can be only one!

Did I do it right?

Especially since one of the background banners has a perfectly normal sentence on it.

"indicates films playing in theaters around the world in the week commencing 31 January 2025."

From the Wikipedia page.

1 Timothy 2:12

So, you see, there's a phrase for everyone.

Especially for shitbags to use to justify their assholery.

It isn't, really. It has funny moments, but on the whole it's an action adventure film, and a very good one at that.

 

I love Kim Stanley Robinson’s books, and am reading (in some case re-reading) his books in order. At some point, I’m going to get to Green Earth, but since it’s a reworking of the Science in the Capitol trilogy, I wanted to find out just how much it adds/leaves out/changes.

Is the difference significant enough to merit a “re-read”? I'm particularly interested in characterization, but I'm also curious if the science itself has been significantly changed, with resulting plot changes.

Thanks!
