what would you call a git commit that can no longer be reached from any branch or reference (for example because you ran git commit --amend or git rebase), but that you can still get to from git reflog?

I've considered "orphan", "dangling", and "unreachable" but none of these seem right:

• orphan has another meaning in git
• dangling only refers to the "tip" commits
• "unreachable" means that you can't reach it at all

would love a term that's already used, I don't like inventing terms

Hey #Bookstodon
Any recommendations for books with nonbinary or transmen main characters? Feeling like I could really use the representation, but all I'm finding are transwomen, and that's... not me. As long as it's fiction, any genre is okay.

Hey exercise geeks-- OK, so I normally jog on fairly good gravel roads that are fairly hilly. Today I went off-road a bit running around in some low grass hills. Well, it just obliterated me. What gives? Does it just take more leg power to keep balance and form on grass? Or is it that you get less sproing off a step when it's not hard ground? Is this good for you or just dangerous?

Are there betting pools for deaths of notable people? Like betting what year, day, or even hour of the day a person will die? Perhaps betting on cause of death too?
I think I might write about a skeevy character who either runs or participates in such a scheme and make a bad loss the backdrop for a story.

I had forgotten about this song and this band. The band is still around though it looks like membership has fluctuated quite a bit since that song came out.

When other folks share their PRs, I notice they often don't share the weight they lifted: if you've done this, what's your reason?

hit all my reps on squat finally. I'd been failing at least one set at 225lbs. I took some longer rests between sets, but I still count it
also getting it back together on bench

I don't get why people say "cats are independent" --With the possible exception of a millionaire who has lived their whole life in the same hotel rather than buying a house or condo... I can think of few creatures more spectacularly dependent than the cat.

#Pica could easily sustain a whole army of service staff if she had the cash to hire them, but instead she "makes do" with my husband and I who have somehow been drafted into doing all of the work for free.
