One step closer to the origin: “to all intents and purposes”. If I use that, people are definitely going to look at me weird.

Just like the way a snowman is a man made of snow.

Wait until you hear about butterflies and dragonflies.

Maybe we should just lower the bar of what’s considered common sense. Water is wet and rocks sink in water, that should be common knowledge.

However, it isn’t common knowledge that you have to be careful with medication. I would like it to be, but people still make dangerous mistakes like taking a double dose after missing one.

Yeah, you’re right. That was a bit too harsh. Those patterns exist, and they make it easier to navigate this maze. Once you know the common ones, you don’t actually have to try every letter every time.

English spelling is just fantastic. If you hear a new word, there’s pretty much 0 chance that you can look it up in a dictionary on the first try. Just imagine how “epitome” sounds to someone who isn’t already familiar with it. You’re going to have to go though every vowel before you actually find it.

Also, if you’ve never heard a special word being pronounced, but you’ve read it many times, you are pretty much guaranteed to make a fool of yourself when you finally get to use that word in a social situation. No wonder why spelling bees are a thing in English speaking countries.

They’re planning to use the 530 m long secondary shaft at first. The entire mine is a lot deeper, so obviously, there are other shafts too. You gotta start somewhere.

That’s the whole point of grid energy storage. Even if there are losses, it’s acceptable considering that otherwise you would need to burn fossil fuels in a peaker plant to keep the grid balanced. You aren’t supposed to recharge a battery like this with fossil fuels.

These cursed time units remind me of the super messy imperial units. Unfortunately, the French revolution wasn’t able to fix that, but it did fix a whole lot of other nonsense.

The illustration also showed a bucket wheel excavator. Don’t remember seeing that the last time I visited Pyhäsalmi.

Just walked the distance of 1.8 km/h.

Mistakes like this could be avoided if we just used joules for energy and watts for power.
