How do you pronounce the U? Do you pronounce mould like should, would, or could? Is your pronunciation of mould then closer to mud than old with an M in front?
The intro theme to Cheers.
Potatos are the starch (like rice and beans). Gravy is the mole.
Beef Wellington is just a bland imperial burrito.
Yes, the tech has gotten a lot better. 6 phones over about 12 years (rough length of time since debut of inductive charging in smartphones) averages to about 2 years per phone. If you weren't getting the flagship phone each year that lifetime would be shorter. That was comparable to the lifetime of each over my phone's during that same time, none of which had wireless charging. The phone I have now is the first I've had to use inductive charging and it has already lasted twice as long as any of the others and shows now signs of deterioration.
Is this another one of those "dead frog pinned and glued in a cute pose for art" things?
Have you read "South of the Pumphouse" by Les Clay pool? It's not non-fiction, but it was the first book I thought of when I saw NOFX in your comment.
Does "The Electric Kool aid Acid Test" count as non-fiction?
That makes sense, but it's going to confuse anyone that grew up with the many varieties of magnetic tape available. Look on YouTube for Techmoan if you want to go on a charming deep dive into archaic and niche media formats.
Lol, "not a real word"? They are right there in front of you in print with a definition and being used. That's literally all it takes to be a real word.
You, your grade school vocabulary, and your abridged dictionary aren't gatekeepers of the lexicon. Dictionaries describe the words people use. Dictionaries absolutely do not prescribe what are real words and which are made up, unless you're French (but even that is a lie). ALL WORDS ARE MADE UP.
Not a real word? Fucking hilarious.

Pretty much all of the Sci-Fi written by Ursula K. LeGuin features people more than machines. There are technologies in the stories that play a role, but the are described as vaguely as possible to support the plot. As a result, often her sci-fi stories feel more like fantasy.
Octavia Butler wrote the Xenogenesis series which features an alien "species" whose system of technology is entirely biological.
