The wiki article is right, tessitura has both meanings.

I feel like you took this piece from my exasperated brain. Thank you.

I was wondering what they’d do with assaultman. Considering they get all the explode-y things to use, you figure they’d just like their jobs too much to care what it’s called.

My compression running shorts gain a stank that detergent can’t get out. Turns out the solution was simple: hand wash in dish soap. Works every time.
