"“Singleton” was the old term for a singlet back the 90s.

I’m not sure when the change over happened or why, but I assume it’s because “singlet” just rolls off the tongue better. I imagine “median system” replaced “midcontinuum system” for similar reasons."

I don't have any proof, but I find it likely it could also be because "singleton" sounds similar to "simpleton" (i.e. an insult) and so "singlet" was created as an alternative way to refer to someone without headmates... But that's just speculation on my part lol.

That explanation makes a lot of sense! I'm still skeptical because I feel like if this was the case, I probably would have heard it talked about, but it would make sense!

Ruby Jewell Hughen is my maternal great-grandmother. She was the second child born to Sadie Thornton and James Hughen in Alabama, USA in 1920. She was 24 years old in 1944 when she married 25-year-old Hugh Clifton in Bay St. Louis, Hancock County, Mississippi, USA.

Hugh Clifton was the second child of Maggie Hobbs and Hilton Clifton Sr. in Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida, USA. He was a "semi-skilled chauffeur and driver, bus, taxi, truck, and tractor" and "worked as an Automotive Mechanic in Air Transportation". A U.S. WW2 Army Enlistment record from 1941 states he was a Private. In 1942 in Walton County, Florida, USA, Hugh married Annie Sowell. Annie then divorced him in 1944 on the grounds of desertion exactly 2 months and 18 days before he married Ruth.

Ruth's oldest two children—daughters—were born in 1940 in Roanoke, Randolph County, Alabama, USA, and in 1942 in Alabama, USA respectively. Her youngest two children—sons—were born in 1947 and 1951 (likely in Alabama, USA) respectively. Perhaps if I had paid attention to the dates a recent reveal by my mother wouldn't have been so shocking (or too late to save me from a countless amount of time researching in the wrong direction).

About 3 weeks ago I learned that Hugh was Ruby's second husband. I can't even find the words to describe the whirlwind that consumed me in the following moments. Lightning quick, I began interrogating my mother for more information to fill in this sudden void in my ancestry. All she could remember was that her mother told her that her real surname was Singleton.

The name plucked familiarly at my brain, yet I couldn't think why. It was only later that night when I sat down to figure this all out that I realized why the name was so familiar. Tucked into the ignored hints on my Ancestry account under Ruth's profile was a U.S. WW2 Draft Card which listed a Ruby Jewel Singleton and her spouse Joseph David Singleton.

Following that vein, I discovered a Mississippi, USA marriage record between a Joseph D. Singleton and a Ruby J. Hughen in 1938. The discrepancy with this record is that it lists both parties as being of color. My mother and other documents can verify that Ruby and my grandfather were white, and the draft card indicated that Joseph was white as well. While I've learned that this can be a frequent issue with historical records, I can't definitively verify the couple listed on the record as my ancestors despite the dates and locations matching up.

Without knowing who Joseph really is and whether or not he's actually my great-grandfather, this branch of my tree is stumped. I'm hoping to discover more information regarding this little twist in my family history. Perhaps it will soften the blow of losing 50+ "direct" relatives through Hugh.

Until then, I'll keep trying to build up my ever-twisting tree and keep y'all updated on the interesting stuff that I find along the way.

파이썬에서 싱글톤 구현하기

싱글톤은 어떤 클래스의 인스턴스가 하나만 만들어지도록 강제하는 디자인 패턴의 한 종류입니다. 싱글톤은 시스템 전체에 걸쳐 단 하나의 객체 인스턴스만 있으면 될 때 사용할 수 있으며, 전역 변수를 사용하지 않고도 특정한 객체를 어디서나 참조할 수 있게 되는 장점이 있습니다. 싱글톤을 구현하는 일반적인 방법으로는 1) 생성자를 private하게 만들어서 다른 객체가 직접적으로 호출할 수 없도록하고, 2) 별도의 정적 메소드를 제공하여 싱글톤 객체를 획득할 수 있게 합니다. 싱글톤 구현방법 파이썬에서는 생성자를 숨길 수 없기 때문에, 생성자 그 자체가 싱글톤 객체를 반환하도록 하면 됩니다. 이를 구현하는 방법에는 여러가지가 있을 수 있지만, 대표적으로는 메타 클래스를 사용하는 방법이 있습니다. 생성자가…

deePRECONnaissance: Brawling in the depths of Feldon's Workshop

Before Midweek Magic there was Friday Night Magic at Home. But before that - and only just - there was Feldon's Workshop. Let's take a look at the decks for the first couple of those events!

This is a series where I dig into the preconstructed decklists from Magic’s digital history. Why? Maybe you vaguely remember playing with them and were trying to remember a particular card. Or you could be a precon tragic who misses the old style of theme/intro decks. Or you’re looking for inspiration for new kitchen table decks for when you get together for some beers with your buddies. That…

"singlet" is fine and all but "singleton" is a missed opportunity

"Singleton" was the old term for a singlet back the 90s.
