Darth Maul's toilet brush of choice

We have OxfordPV, though I believe they manufacture the panels in Germany. I'm sure there are reasons for this but cheap manpower won't be one.

Do people not use discord for voice chat? Hop in hop out permanent voice channels that show if your friends are already in or not?

Last I looked you have to use Discord, Teamspeak, or Mumble for this

It really depends on how you use Discord. Matrix was never trying to be a Discord alternative so for some usecases it's fine, but for a place to hang out with your friends and play video games it's not.

I think I was a happier person before I read that list

The problem we're addressing is that the prefixes are made redundant by the syntax of to and from. 'immigrating to europe' 'emmigrating from europe'. Dropping the prefix in this context doesn't change the meaning: 'migrating to europe' 'migrating from europe'.

From wiktionary: Verb migrate (third-person singular simple present migrates, present participle migrating, simple past and past participle migrated)

(intransitive) To change habitations across a border; to move from one country or political region to another. To escape persecution, they migrated to a neutral country.

This is already common usage and I don't see the need for any prefixes to the word. The Etymonline definition is giving the definition of the root, not the current english word.

How about just 'migrate' and 'migrating'?
