That’s unfortunate, I guess. I mean, even though I do have my phone set to only charge up to 85%, I don’t really know if this is battery protective or not.
Is it?
I just enabled the option because the description of the feature claimed it to be. I haven’t researched this at all
Are you sure you don’t already have something like this? My android is a couple years old, but has always let me charge to only 85%
Well, it certainly did, and that is the way I use it. I have heard people use it in other ways
I’m not disagreeing that it can sometimes happen as you’ve illustrated above. I am saying that it often does happen that coiners of new words know just what they mean by them. The person who came up with ‘electrocute’ knew exactly what he meant by it - to kill with electricity (notice how the word is a portmanteau of electricity and execute). That the word has started to be used by some as a word to mean something less specific is to me unfortunate, but is a good example of how words change over time. At any rate, it seems obvious that sometimes the definitions of words arrive fully formed at their birth, though not always so
You’d have to be pretty strict about what you mean by ‘definition’ in order to claim this. When words are coined, it seems likely that the speaker knows what he means by the word, even if he hasn’t written the definition down somewhere
Hmmm, your chosen instance interests me
Perl was always fun
Good bot
“P stands for photographic, so it’s JPEG with an f sound” is the one that gets me
OP probably meant fish, octopus, and squid
And buy a congressman
Oh, yeah
I seem to know when timers will go off, and what time a clock will show, know how much time is left in a movie
Stupid brain keeps track of time pretty well, I guess
It’s a chamber they use to make clouds. Couldn’t they just call it the Cloud Chamber, without resorting to the most awkward, contrived acronym I’ve ever seen?
