sometimes I underestimate the power of my own pedantry…
Upvote for the main thought, but
- A gasoline engine is a type of motor. You are making a distinction without a difference. A motor is just something that produces mechanical motion. Motor. Motion. Motivate. All come from the same root as “move”
- An “engine” can be the whole apparatus that does the work, not merely the thing that provides the power, and could be powered by a water, beast, or even manually such as the cotton [en]gin[e]. A lot of that usage comes from pre WW2, but it survives in things like “train engine” (the vehicle that pushes or pulls a train) and “game engine” (the program architecture that manages the processing power provided by the computer to convert user interactions, game assets, etc. into something that we recognize as a game).
- It’s not a four-cycle engine. It is a four-stroke engine: each piston makes four strokes each complete engine cycle.

Im not convinced that picking Amazon packages, operating heavy machinery, doing data entry, or copy editing would have vastly differing performance changes from coffee consumption.
However…
I would imagine that an office worker might have more ready access to coffee, such as a communal coffee maker, than someone with less sedentary workspace.
I could be wrong, but I think the only cake that is guaranteed upside-up is one that you serve still in the pan you baked it in. That is more a choice of manner in which to serve the cake than a function of the sponge itself.
Upside down cake is constructed before baking in a way that is intended to be inverted from the baking orientation to serve.

I’m not googling that.
If he hired a competent lawyer, they wouldn’t let him testify, but we all know that he won’t tolerate competence if it means he doesn’t get to do what he wants.

5·14 days agoI mean… they aren’t either. Not in this context.
The grade schoolers aren’t employees of Scouts, nor are they students; they are members. Scouts has allowed women as volunteers and employees for as long as I can remember.
(In America) Girls have only been allowed to participate in Scouts and Cub Scouts for less than 10 years. It was not due to legal requirements that it started, and it still isn’t fully integrated. Charter organizations (local community organizations that sponsor individual units) determine whether their units will be for boys, girls or both. The “family troop” option only became available nationwide this last year

Yeah, I know it’s an “E”uro, but it’s C-ish shaped. And using a sub denomination didn’t make ¢ents in context.
