    Vita + amine, actually. Amines are compounds with an NH₂ group; amino acids are a subset of that.

    The person who coined the term thought he had isolated an amine that was effective against a certain disease. What he had actually isolated was neither an amine nor effective against that disease but was actually a different essential compound. (He was looking for what we now know as thiamine but had actually discovered niacin.)

    The name “vitamin” stuck around despite the fact that most vitamins aren’t amines.


  • Depends on what you’re wearing. If there’s a crotch zipper that’s where the fart will usually go because those things often aren’t gas tight. Otherwise the fart will bubble up until it finds an opening.

    Latex clothing has a lot of not-quite-sexy sides to it. For instance, they tend to be rather sweaty and that sweat has to go somewhere. Prepare for wet feet.


  • Windows 360¹ will cost 30 bucks a year (adjusted for inflation) and will automatically upgrade you to the latest version of Windows as soon as it comes out. Additional benefits include improved security by blocking non-Store software and having your OS settings managed by Microsoft – Windows 360 will even automatically restore them if they should end up getting changed, e.g. if Recall somehow ends up disabled.

    ¹ Not to be confused with Windows 365, which is an entirely different thing.
