Music is music, why the hate if it reminds me of my childhood. Its like ragging on boomers for listening to music that came out when they were kids, its what they're used to and enjoy listening to

Almost sounds like a chat bot got distracted by the mention of "17 as a grey area" but still remembered it was talking about a 13 year old and an 18 year old.

Most people will go their entire life without ever knowing what the lines on bath towels actually mean

Bastard you made me look it up and its exactly what I thought,

The lines that sometimes appear on the end of a towel are known as “dobby borders” ("dobby" is the name of the weaving attachment traditionally used to create the geometric pattern itself). These lines serve multiple functions and have various benefits, including:[1]

Greater Durability: Dobby borders are usually woven tightly along the edges of towels, providing structural stability, reducing fraying and keeping towels intact longer.

Shape Retaining: The dobby border helps the towel maintain its tidy and iconic rectangular shape during washing and over the years.

Decoration: Dobby borders add a touch of flair to bath towels, offering a creative departure from the woven cotton of the rest of the towel.

Improved Grip: Dobby borders are textured and therefore help create better grip, making it harder for the towel to slip out of your hands while you’re drying yourself off.

On the flip side, the lines on the end of the towel do not indicate areas you should be using for drying particular parts of your body, such as your face, butt, or hands. But if that’s what you want to use them for, you do you!

TIL about micro-inverters which make it possible to track individual solar panels

For those that don't want to click the link herea the important part of what they are: The main advantage is that they electrically isolate the panels from one another, so small amounts of shading, debris or snow lines on any one solar module, or even a complete module failure, do not disproportionately reduce the output of the entire array. Each microinverter harvests optimum power by performing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for its connected module.[14] Simplicity in system design, installation, lower wire amperage, simplified stock management, and added fire safety are other possible benefits.

The primary disadvantages of a microinverter include a higher initial equipment cost per peak watt than the equivalent power of a central inverter since each inverter needs to be installed adjacent to a panel (usually on a roof). This also makes them harder to maintain and more costly to remove and replace. Some manufacturers have addressed these issues with panels with built-in microinverters.[15] A microinverter often has a longer lifespan than a central inverter, which will need replacement during the lifespan of the solar panels. Therefore, the financial disadvantage at first may become an advantage in the long term.
