@kevin for the marker, there's products actually called laundry marker -- https://uchida.com/products/laundry-marker is the one we have, but looks like Sharpie has one too.
@hywan lol and they called the GPL "viral".
@bkuhn I tricked myself into remembering this by telling myself that I can create multiple links to one source, and so of course the new names have to be last because you can have as many of them as you want. Which of course you can't, but don't tell me that, because it works and I never need to do that anyway.

@penaddict As a former high school and college debater, I think your listener question was probably talking about actually flipping the pens -- as in, spinning them around thumb and fingers. Very common thing among debaters (at least Back in the Day) -- skill at that was almost as important as winning the debates! And some pens much more balanced for it than others.
