I am an absolutely garbage scrabble player, but I will be keeping this gem in my back pocket… probably a rare case to play it though haha
Anyway doesn’t really matter, it was more to see if anyone else was a listener of that podcast.
(Also, is it just me, or is anyone else mildly annoyed that the cleverly-titled "The rest is history" spawned a heap of meaningless "The rest is ..." siblings. Talk about letting the side down. I'm just waiting for Goal Hanger to recruit a pair of meditation gurus into their podcast stable, to make the "The rest is resting" ...)
This is a great example of why bad naming conventions are a "smell". It strongly implies that the solution does not yet fully understand the problem it's trying to solve.

I supposed the 16th power would then be Zenzizenzizenzizenzic and so forth.
A hemidemisemiquaver, while a little scary for the performer, at least makes immediate perfect sense. Unlike that stupid "sixty-fourth note" rubbish. Music is art, not fractions!

They take the finest electrolytes from whatever side of the salt flats we’re on, distil them twice, then thrice, then once again thrice more. They then rehydrate it, thus infusing it with the pure essence of hydration. They add red dye (for the flavour) and memories of cherry (for the colour) and bottle it. The bottles are then dozenized and loaded onto trucks to be immediately re-homed.
Learned about all this on late night deep delve Discovery Channel soirée… or maybe it was a fever dream (which has a fascinating origin story as well, but that’s for another time.)
