That cheese was named thus after the bloke who invented the process, Edward Coon. Maybe he wasn't a nice, inoffensive bloke or something.

Offence cannot be given, it can only be taken. Sure, I know that some people set out to offend, but far more set out to be offended, and they make the most noise. Squeaky wheel and all that. Time we stopped pandering to the less than 5%.

Hi,
Maybe racoons were not liked?

Cheers

Oh, I don't know...

Some months later, the tradie told me that in their most recent paper on the name change, because they had received so many complaints from the same feminist groups about calling the “Female” connectors Negative connectors, that they have decided they will not be changing the labelling, “for now"

So did you get red negative connectors for positive circuits, and black positive connectors for negative circuits?

Same bs in IT. Slave disk / master disk is verboten in some circles.

As has "master" been changed to "main" in git. Fortunately it is a label that you can set so everywhere I create a "master" branch
