Yeah, removing greasy hand prints is probably an extra chore.

There's a lot of things that people do that aren't for practical reasons. That's why all our homes aren't just concrete cubes. Somebody must have decided that this looks cool and futuristic.
Strictly from practical reasons, I suppose it's marginally easier and faster to identify a free stall. Whether that is worth the extra cost is subjective.
Also, the default state for this glass is frosted. In case of a failure it all becomes frosted.
You know, it just kinda clicked for me, a lot of people can relate much more to the bottom person than the top. There's quite a few people who scoff at education. Call people eggheads and stuff.
I did some research, and apparently, "United States" without "of America" could be a kind of ellipsis. But more likely, it's just an alternative country name. So I think that makes US an initialism (because you pronounce it as [yu-es]) for an alt (bonus info: this is a final clipping, or apocope, of "alternative") name.
Linguistics is such a dirt hut...
It doesn't happen very often, but I've heard it used that way. It's usually obvious from context, like I think I heard with "OLED vs. LED". And as @brachypelmasmithi@lemm.ee mentioned, it's used a lot in languages other than English, in my experience in many slavic ones, for example.
Is initialism a type of acronym? Or do they have an umbrella term? Surely, they are the same thing, but if initialism has easily string-able sounds it's an acronym (ex. CPU vs. RAM). And some are even both depending on person saying it, like LED.
They already do that. I think it was Did You Know Gaming channel's video about Pókemon ROM hacks and they mentioned that few of them were likely taken down because they were targeted by an AI crawler.
Ah, I see, they make padawans pick it up.
Why is Windu holding the Mjölnir?
Skiiiiiiiiinnyyyyyy MAAAAAAAAN!
Btw, does anybody know what bottle was used for that Aldebaran Whisky? It looks to me like Jose Cuervo 1800 bottle.
Can we all please admit that we merely tolerate keyboard as a gaming input device because of the precision that mouse provides? (Except maybe some special cases, like RTS) It's a glorified typewriter, and we (PC gamers) use it only because at some point, it was all that we had and we just got used to it. There must be something better than a panel of buttons.
