Aardvark to me. Similar snout, long ears. They were probably in the southern reaches of Egypt.

With regard to differences that could be explained by stylisation and the lack of familiarity due to it's rarity in most of Egypt.



Pretty sure they don't.

And surely the DMV has far greater 'vicarious liability', as they're the ones that issue licenses.

Top loaders are higher capacity and cost less. And open air drying is preferable to machine drying.

Top loaders also act as spin dryers...

Front loaders also get moldy and stink because they have to be sealed up so tightly. If you're not there to immediately pull out the clothes after the cycle, you're screwed. And in a small laundry room there isn't always room to let the door stay open to dry out the inside.

In my experience with front-loaders, all of these are non-problems.

But my understanding is that top-loaders are always inefficient: they have to use a lot more water, because the clothes have to be submerged, and thus they also have to use a lot more energy to heat it.


Mold problems are more or less likely depending on where you live. Less likely in Arizona. More likely in Florida.

If you wash with cold cycle, efficiency is just a matter of water volume…and most detergents work well in cold water.


They use more water because they do a much better job at cleaning than side-loaders, especially the new "high efficiency" ones that seem to barely work. Just look at all the complaints online.

and thus they also have to use a lot more energy to heat it.

Most if not all top-loaders don't heat the water.


>> and thus they also have to use a lot more energy to heat it.

> Most if not all top-loaders don't heat the water.

That's a bit pedantic, since on warm and hot cycles the water-heater will use energy to heat the water.


That's a problem. That the Guardian doesn't mention the regulation and doesn't give us the wording of the advertisement.

Exactly, I used desktop Sun machines and administered many very large Sun machines from 1997 through to 2010.

I saw the end coming for Sun when I had a dx2/66 at home running Linux in the late 90s. It was brilliant.


AEA leans strongly left. I wouldn't put much store in this.

"No it doesn't."

You can say "they are the doctors" -- but yeah it's a slightly different meaning.

BTW in German, it's a fun distinction. The old "ich bin (ein) Berliner". (or hamburger or frankfurter...)


Works in English too:

* I am Danish.

* I am a Danish.

Or

* I am dancer.

* I am a dancer.


“I am dancer” is acceptable if you’re a five year old. However “I’m Danish” is correct English

In "I'm Danish" it's an adjective. With "I'm a Danish" it's a noun, stating you are a pastry.

You can say “I’m Danish” or “I’m British”. If you want to use an article and convey the same meaning then it would be “I’m a Dane” or I’m a Brit”

I think you missed the joke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_pastry

> A Danish pastry (sometimes shortened to Danish)


But only in US English!

That Pythagorean one with the ejection is cool. I wonder whether you could use it to accelerate a spacecraft.
