there was this other, similar town pronounced -bruh or -boro that people talked about.

You were so close: Edinburgh only got its name after Edward I invaded Scotland in 1296. Before that it (which was then a larger area than the present Edinburgh) had just been called “the Burgh”, which depending on regional variation would have been pronounced either “burg” or “boro”. “Edinburgh” referred to a smaller area within the Burgh that the king’s guards would patrol more severely due to the perceived increased risk of rebellion due to higher population density.

Reading through their mail merge tutorial, their method looks insanely risky: putting all addresses in “to” and rembering to click another button.

I meant it more in the sense of one channel, when shutting down for the night, emitting the “next channel” tone such that every viewer’s set would change to a channel that was still broadcasting.

Would it have been possible for the speakers of the time to emit those frequencies? Imagining the equivalent of a Twitch raid: “I’m done broadcasting so I’m going to send you to the next channel.”

When you go at it harder than a trash compactor and your partner literally changes shape.

Pure speculation: could this have been motivated, to any extent, by some desire to maintain a predictable portion of the population conscriptable, given that only men are conscripted?

The war isn’t going quite in the way Putin would have hoped, after all.

Investment bankers would like a word (but they probably don’t have time).
