I'm a condensed matter theorist working on qubit decoherence. From the good old American Midwest except for when it's convenient to be from somewhere else. Pianist.
It's 2023 so I'm feeling pretty post-orientation

@mjd Reading this Wikipedia article made me think of your worst maths notations examples: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_of_yeast
Yeast mating sexually can have two mating types. They're not called type 1 and type 2, or type A and type B. Instead, it's type a and type α.
Not a biologist, so I don't know if there's a good reason for that horrible naming.
For over a decade Philips Hue offered lights that work without sharing your data to the cloud. This is changing soon and we need your help to make some noise to convince them to revert this decision.

Whenever I explain my #research at Google into mobile text editing, I'm usually met with blank stares or a slightly hostile "Everyone can edit text on their phones, right? What's the problem?"
Text editing on mobile isn't ok. It's actually much worse than you think, an invisible problem no one appreciates. I wrote this post so you can understand why it's so important.

These two vehicles have almost the same bed size.
Reply guys are pointing out that the width of the smaller one may be less, but idk.
Tennessee as well can get to every neighbouring state by going directly south
Now I want to know how universal this is. Wisconsin borders 4 states and it's possible to travel south to enter all 4. Illinois borders 5 states and only Wisconsin is inaccessible going south. But you can reach all 5 going north!
