English needs a word for the inclusive or, and I'm down for committing robbery against one of our top victims.

You know when something can be either "or" or "and?" You may also say it is "and" and or "or"; "or" and/or "and," if you will. That's the inclusive or!

The Latin "vel" is a word for the inclusive or. I also just learned that the logic symbol, ∨, is called "vel" and is used for something called "disjunction" as opposed to "exclusive disjunction (⊻)," which is simply the exclusive or, which is the regular or in English.

Apparently the legal term "vel non" uses this word to mean "or not," which means there's at least a chance of it making it out of the courtroom and into the common lingo like quid pro quo, de jure, and de facto, did.

TIL The Cube Rule for categorizing food based on the location of structural starch.
  • Ah, steak, my favorite salad! Oooh, and salad, the perfect nachos!! My steak is a salad, but if I cut it into bite-sized pieces, it becomes nachos!!!

    1. A salad is specifically a mix of more than one thing. Not a homogeneous mixture.
    2. The hell's up with the nachos? A food with many repeating identical objects? Nachos are a salad.
    3. A sandwich is supposed to be 3 layers; [bread-->content-->bread] from top to bottom. They cite a stack of 3 slices of toast as a sandwich, but a cake is defined as a food with >2 grain layers, a criterion in which 3 slices of toast fits.

    Seriously, a good theory idea, but with unforgivable flaws.

  • POLL: Should we allow content migration bots?
  • On grounds of NSFW communities, we have to get the bots. People don't come to this page to look at 14 posts on each board. They come to them for the same reason they come to the reddit versions of these subs.

    Aren't we trying to compete here? Aren't we trying to show the refugees a good time? We ought bot.
