Women’s clothes tend to be more prone to vanity sizing than men’s.
Vanity sizing, or size inflation, is the phenomenon of ready-to-wear clothing of the same nominal size becoming bigger in physical size over time.
Vanity sizing is a common fashion industry practice used today that often involves labeling clothes with smaller sizes than their actual measurements size. Experts believe that this practice targets consumer’s preferences and perceptions.

I use Google’s Noto Sans as my default browser sans-serif font. It does a better job having a different capital-I and lower-case-l than does Calibri:

I once wrote code for an elderly researcher who would only review code as a hard copy. I’d bring him stacks of paper and he’d get going with his pen and highlighter. And I’ll grant that the resolution is normally higher on paper than on most displays. I’m viewing this on a laptop screen that’s about 200 ppi. A laser printer is probably printing at a minimum of 300 dpi, maybe 600 or 1200 dpi.
I still think that the few people reading things in print are the exception that proves the rule, though.
Most stoves in the US are not gas; it’s not an “all stoves versus a subset of heaters” sort of situation.
goes looking for percentages
https://www.statista.com/chart/29082/most-common-type-of-stove-in-the-us/
Electric stoves are overall more common in the U.S., with 68 percent of households owning one opposite 38 percent which have a gas stove.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/183635/number-of-households-in-the-us/
In 2023, there were 131.43 million households in the United States.
That’d be a 17.5% marketshare for gas heating, and a 38% marketshare for gas stoves, but the gas heaters are also going to use a lot more gas than gas stoves do. I’d be pretty comfortable saying that a gas heater will average considerably more than twice as much gas as a stove.
Times New Roman was designed for the print era, and Calibri for onscreen viewing. Onscreen viewing is a lot more common today. Based on that technical characteristic, I’d be kind of inclined to favor Calibri or at least some screen-oriented font.
That being said, screens are also higher-resolution than they were in the past, so the rationale might be less-significant than it once was.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibri
Calibri (/kəˈliːbri/) is a digital sans-serif typeface family in the humanist or modern style. It was designed by Lucas de Groot in 2002–2004 and released to the general public in 2006, with Windows Vista.[3] In Microsoft Office 2007, it replaced Times New Roman as the default font in Word and replaced Arial as the default font in PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook. In Windows 7, it replaced Arial as the default font in WordPad. De Groot described its subtly rounded design as having “a warm and soft character”.[3] In January 2024, the font was replaced by Microsoft’s new bespoke font, Aptos, as the new default Microsoft Office font, after 17 years.[4][5]
I suspect that the Office shift is probably a large factor in moving to Calibri.
That being said, there are many Times New Roman implementations, but it sounds like Calibri is owned by Microsoft, so I’d be kind of inclined to favor something open.
quite uncommon
Thing is that they also are going to burn far more gas than is a stove unless you’re in a really warm climate.
I don’t think that they’re permitted to be built into new-build stuff in California, but they’re definitely grandfathered in in old buildings, and I’ve been in many that have them.

In fact, according to a paper from the Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, nearly 23 million consumers use vent-free gas heating products.
The malware continuously monitors its access to GitHub (for exfiltration) and npm (for propagation). If an infected system loses access to both channels simultaneously, it triggers immediate data destruction on the compromised machine. On Windows, it attempts to delete all user files and overwrite disk sectors. On Unix systems, it uses shred to overwrite files before deletion, making recovery nearly impossible.
shred is intended to overwrite the actual on-disk contents by overwriting data in the file prior to unlinking the files. However, shred isn’t as effective on journalled filesystems, because writing in this fashion doesn’t overwrite the contents on-disk like this. Normally, ext3, ext4, and btrfs are journalled. Most people are not running ext2 in 2025, save maybe on their /boot partition, if they have that as a separate partition.

Trump says children could have ‘2 dolls instead of 30’ with his tariff plan
He added, “You know, someone said, ‘Oh, the shelves, they’re going to be open.’ Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.
I don’t really think that talking about Average Joe’s standard of living is really Trump’s strong point.
Unlike gas furnaces or water heaters, stovetops lack direct ventilation.
You can definitely get unvented gas heaters in at least some states.
While this is the right answer, to nitpick, there is an exception: the Julian-to-Gregorian calendar switchover. It looks like the day-of-the-week system continued uninterrupted, but the day-of-the-month saw a jump.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption_of_the_Gregorian_calendar
France adopted the new calendar with Sunday, 9 December 1582, being followed by Monday, 20 December 1582.
Where the switchover happened at the right time of the year, that same-day-of-the-week relationship won’t have been the case.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adoption_dates_of_the_Gregorian_calendar_by_country
So based on that table, a number of places did the switchover at some point between December 11th and December 25th, and for those that year, the relationship will not have held. In Styria, Austria, for example, the day after December 11th, 1583 was December 22nd, 1583.
I’m not that concerned. There’s a famous Reagan joke that he did during a sound test:

If you mean distributing inference across many machines, each of which could not individually deal with a large model, using today’s models, not viable with reasonable performance. The problem is that you require a lot of bandwidth between layers; a lot of data moves. When you cluster current systems, you tend to use specialized, high-bandwidth links.
It might theoretically be possible to build models that are more-amenable to this sort of thing, that have small parts of a model run on nodes that have little data interchange between them. But until they’re built, hard to say.
I’d also be a little leery of how energy-efficient such a thing is, especially if you want to use CPUs — which are probably more-amenable to be run in a shared fashion than GPUs. Just using CPU time “in the background” also probably won’t work as well as with a system running other tasks, because the limiting factor isn’t heavy crunching on a small amount of data — where a processor can make use of idle cores without much impact to other tasks — but bandwidth to the memory, which is gonna be a bottleneck for the whole system. Also, some fairly substantial memory demands, unless you can also get model size way down.
I’d also note that OP only created their account a day ago.
I wonder how much exact duplication each process has?
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/mm/ksm.html
Kernel Samepage Merging
KSM is a memory-saving de-duplication feature, enabled by CONFIG_KSM=y, added to the Linux kernel in 2.6.32. See mm/ksm.c for its implementation, and http://lwn.net/Articles/306704/ and https://lwn.net/Articles/330589/
KSM was originally developed for use with KVM (where it was known as Kernel Shared Memory), to fit more virtual machines into physical memory, by sharing the data common between them. But it can be useful to any application which generates many instances of the same data.
The KSM daemon ksmd periodically scans those areas of user memory which have been registered with it, looking for pages of identical content which can be replaced by a single write-protected page (which is automatically copied if a process later wants to update its content). The amount of pages that KSM daemon scans in a single pass and the time between the passes are configured using sysfs interface
KSM only operates on those areas of address space which an application has advised to be likely candidates for merging, by using the madvise(2) system call:
int madvise(addr, length, MADV_MERGEABLE)
One imagines that one could maybe make a library interposer to induce use of that.
