an interesting linguistics find! so I'm reading this text from 1908 and it keeps referencing "hp" in the context of "not being at full hp" "applying your full hp to a task" etc
and I'm like....... okay that is a perfectly normal way to describe energy and reads totally clear to me, but I KNOW you don't mean hit points/health points which is the first place my brain goes, so what are YOU using hp to mean
and it's not explained in-text, which means it was common enough to not warrant explanation to the 1908 audience, so gotta look elsewhere
horsepower. turns out it's horsepower.
and I'm absolutely FASCINATED that a commonly used initialism from 1908 now stands for something different AND YET the contextual meaning is still the same to a 21st-century reader
I could hand this guy my nintendo switch and he'd be like, ah yes I understand, this ''''pokemon'''' loses horsepower throughout the fight
language is amazing

Gaza: We Still Need Your Help - Food is Here, But So Expensive!

Hey everyone, I'm writing to you again from Gaza with an important update. We're seeing some food in the markets now, which is a small relief. But honestly, it's really hard. There's not much food available, and because everyone needs it, the prices are just crazy high. It's almost impossible for my family and me to buy what we need every day.
My kids are still hungry, and every single day is a struggle to find enough to eat. Your help means the world to us. Even a small donation can make a huge difference, helping us buy food and giving us a little bit of hope.
If you can, please consider donating here:
• Chuffed: https://chuffed.org/project/137393-we-are-still-here-we-are-still-hungry
• PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=VPRCMU52ZYBLQ
And if you can't donate right now, that's okay! Please just reblog this post and share our story. Your voice is so powerful, and spreading the word helps us reach more people who can offer support. Thank you so much for standing with us. We're still here, and we're still trying our best to survive.

i've always been dogshit at pottery on a wheel because i have weak noodle arms and can't hold my hands firmly in place to center the clay but i finally realized the root issue was that my legs are SHORT since i have the limb/torso proportions of a dachshund and i couldn't brace my elbows on my legs, so i put bricks under my feet and now i can sort of do it!! i've tried to learn twice in the past from TALL people but had a revelation when i watched a medium size guy throwing.

The moral of the story is: don't give up, maybe you just need bricks

Uh oh! The Oracle has killed herself rather than face the future she foresaw. Market analysts are speculating this may be bad for the economy
