#D158 (dinucleotide to dioptric)
from The Dictionary
I read from dinucleotide to dioptric. A Diode is used in electrical thingies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode It looks like many stories have been written about Diomedes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diomedes If I understand the basics, a Diopter is a unit of thickness of a lens that determines how far away from the lens the light focuses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioptre The word of the episode is "Dionysus". Wow! Dionysus is the god of many things including "...grape-harvest, winemaking, orchards and fruit, vegetation, fertility, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, festivity, and theatre." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionysus Let's Party! The Dionysia was the 2nd most important festival of the year! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionysia I think living a balance between Dionysian and Apollonian is best. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollonian_and_Dionysian Theme music from Tom Maslowski https://zestysol.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757
