If it helps, etymonline has them the other way around with ‘golly’ being a mild oath for god and ‘gollywog’ not having a definitive link.

- Comment on Eric Barone, the guy who can't stop updating Stardew Valley, says the words "I might eventually make a Stardew Valley 2" 1 month ago:
You’re technically right: it means ‘everything up to’, so not a full guarantee but the next best thing. In usage it means ‘a guarantee in all but name’.

No, it’s saying if he cared about money he would be more likely to make a sequel. Him caring about money would all but guarantee a sequel.

We have OxfordPV, though I believe they manufacture the panels in Germany. I’m sure there are reasons for this but cheap manpower won’t be one.

Do people not use discord for voice chat? Hop in hop out permanent voice channels that show if your friends are already in or not?
Last I looked you have to use Discord, Teamspeak, or Mumble for this

This isn’t just jamming signals, it’s microwaving the electronics from a kilometer away so it will work against fibre optic controlled drones as well

- Comment on Full Circle 2 months ago:
The problem we’re addressing is that the prefixes are made redundant by the syntax of to and from. ‘immigrating to europe’ ‘emmigrating from europe’. Dropping the prefix in this context doesn’t change the meaning: ‘migrating to europe’ ‘migrating from europe’.
- Comment on Full Circle 2 months ago:
From wiktionary: Verb migrate (third-person singular simple present migrates, present participle migrating, simple past and past participle migrated)
(intransitive) To change habitations across a border; to move from one country or political region to another. To escape persecution, they migrated to a neutral country.
This is already common usage and I don’t see the need for any prefixes to the word. The Etymonline definition is giving the definition of the root, not the current english word.

How about just ‘migrate’ and ‘migrating’?

If you’re thinking of the portable battery marketed as ‘solid state’ then that was a scam - a teardown revealed it was just lithium cells

Sometimes the sun doesn’t shine, sometimes the wind doesn’t blow. Renewables are great and cheap, but they aren’t a complete solution without grid level storage that doesn’t really exist yet.
