Not only that, but in the original Greek “love of money” is all one word: φιλαργυρία (philarghyría) or silver-love; ‘silver’ being more or less synonymous with the currency made from it and wealth in general.

It is very much the in the spirit of how you might decribe a dragon as ‘gold-hungry’ instead of just ‘greedy’.

I listened to a podcast recently where they were trying to figure out a similarly difficult to remove stain someone was getting in the armpits of some of their t-shirts, but never on their sweaty gym clothes.

spoilerIt turns out that stress-sweat is different from exercise-sweat, and he was getting worked up during his video game sessions. I think the solution was along the lines of: “don’t wear your nice shirts when you engage in predictably stressful activities.”

There is a special place in hell for modern manufacturers of devices that have a USB-C port, but won’t charge from a modern USB-C charger. (fedia.io)
 

I just went to charge my kitchen scale and it wouldn’t work until I dug out a USB-A -> C cable and plugged it into my desktop…

It just reminded me of how many devices like that I have. This scale, my wife’s sound torc, some car jumperstarters, and I think a one or two more…

I assume it’s because they just slap a usbc port on a dumb 5v circuit that doesn’t have a power negotiation controller. So the cable and the charger cant figure out the power needs of the device are and just never send any.

Does measles effect allergies? (fedia.io)
 

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way advocating for the spreading of a highly contagious and deadly disease or the abstention from safe and highly effective vaccines. But, this is No Stupid Questions, so…

Measles is known for wiping out your immune system memory and re-endangering you to pathogens you had once successfully fought off.

Allergies are when your immune system misidentifies something harmless (like pollen or peanuts) as a harmful pathogen and triggers an immune response.

So, what happens to allergies in people who get measles? Does it wipe out the immune system’s memory of the allergen? Does it expose them to develop new allergies? Do we even know whether it does anything to allergies at all, or has it never been studied? What about other auto immune diseases?

Secondly, if it does do something, is there some way that it can be utilized to help allergy sufferers? Not in the “give people a deadly contagious disease” kind of way (I’ve heard of the tapeworm thing), but is there something there that could studied and developed into a targeted drug or treatment? Or is the mechanism just too broad and dangerous.
