Fashion and war. Just yesterday, I was missing a codec from a lightweight OS build that prevented me from streaming audio from a particular service — but this is silly, since my Mac (which runs a variant of the Mach kernel) does this natively. Dreadnaughts are an obsolete class of warship, but that is a cool steam-punky name that deserves to be revived. Golems, if they existed, would be good to get rid of those filthy bolsheviks. A modern-day paladin, bearing a scimitar, wearing kevlar armor, and riding in a humvee, ought to keep an eye out for claymore mines. Solenoids — does anyone actually use those anymore? It seems that stepper motors are the thing now, especially when building bipedal robots. I’ve never, ever heard of the word ‘mascarpone’. I know that taupe is a color but couldn’t tell you which one — I refer to colors according to their 3D coordinates in one of several mathematically-defined color spaces. Bottlebrush — I’ve got one of them for cleaning out my beer fermenters. Tresses are flouncy and are good for flouncing, right? Taffeta, I think, is a cloth, and I think decoupage has something to do with plunging necklines. Progesterone is that crazy drug, wisteria is a tree (my parents had one) and peony is a flower, but I wouldn’t be able to tell you which one. Bodices, from what I understand, are meant to be ripped. businessinsider/gender-and-vocabulary-analysis-2014-6
