Just found out the 2020 Ignoble Peace Prize went to India and Pakistan, whose diplomats were running up to each other's houses, ringing the doorbell then running away.  :d  ;D

lets be honest here-

1 If any female (attractive, but I suspect your not overly fussy) offered you said entertainment, your plans would change. :d

2 I hope you have a good game with Sunjester.  :)

Decoheres - causes something to cease to be coherent.

In my case that tends to be alcohol.

In the case of qubits ( not to be confused with cubits) apparently it's heat dissipation. The wonderful world of Quantum Mechanics.

Just went to the Ral Partha Europe website to investigate something.

It does not inspire confidence that the latest news on the homepage is dated February 2018.

Today's big question.

When doing laundry why to shirts dry so quick, but socks and pants take ages?

Because heat rises, so my soggy shirt starts to dry but my feet are still wet...  :-\

Because for each shirt there are pairs of socks and pairs of pants. Logically a single would dry twice as fast as a pair.

At the risk of being sensible. 

Because the shirts are of thinner lighter materials which hold less water and allow what they do hold to evaporate more quickly. Socks tend to be of thicker chunky materials (in general).

Its nota question I have ever considered?  I put my shirts , socks and pants in the magic basket in the bathroom, and a few days later they are washed, dry and ironed and back in he correct cupboard or draw.  :)

Yes, I have considered that,  but the difference seems excessive.  Socks would need to be 4 times as dense (4×4×4=64, hence difference. )

Orcs needs to develop a more 21st century approach to household chores.
