I'd say that to the end-user it doesn't matter (which is why it's not mentioned on the linked store page), but to the HN crowd it's interesting because lisp is a nifty hacker topic and seeing someone manage to write a

"Could lose accreditation" is a stretch -- all this article is doing is repackaging a press release saying that someone wrote a sternly worded letter. To an institution that was almost certainly already aware of what was happening

Pit stains stem from a chemical reaction with the aluminum in antiperspirants. The easiest way to never have to deal with them ever again is to switch to using a non-antiperspirant deodorant.

I found that Icebreaker's merino underwear is particularly fragile. Having tried assorted brands, though hardly everything on the market, I'd recommend Wool & Prince's underwear instead, which holds up very well. https

Not that I could find any news about. Someone did sue Apple back in May about hearing damage caused by an amber alert, but I can't see any progress on that since then -- and "someone has sued" is pretty weak evidence of anyth
