That would be a more practical way to shop for women.
Women always ask for certain variations of products and brands, that are not the most available at all stores.
Where as guys will ask for the basic original offerings.
Women's request will include everything from container size, dispensary style, more or less of certain ingredients. Guys on the other hand, if they ask for Tide, they don't care what size packaging it came it, just as long as it is Tide original scent in the classic orange packaging with the Tide logo.
You could bring a guy a 5 gallon bucket of Tide and if it's some fancy scent or contains some other additive in a purple bucket. They will ask "What were they out of plain old Tide?"
Well I've got this single use tide box from the Laundromat dispensary machine.
"Gimme that!"

We keep a list in the kitchen of what to buy, updating it as things run out.
But before I get to the store, I take a sheet of scrap paper and make a rough sketch of the store, writing down the items needed in the location they are in the store.
I can't stand to shop with merely a list, because I have to keep scanning the list. With a geographic sketch of the store, I just walk through and pick things up as I walk by. Saves a lot of mental effort imho. My wife just uses a list though.

Interesting how they use simple tugboats to steer the larger ships.
Why couldn’t they do that in Baltimore?

It won't be a death star. The Chinese are already on the back side of the moon creeping about. Surely they are planning a moon base, and will try capture the literal "high ground" in Earthspace. In an old Sci-Fi book, "The Mote in Gods Eye" by Jerry Pournelle, the aliens used "Rods from God" to take out most of Earth's human structures: powerplants, dams, bridges, military sites, etc. You don't need Nukes: A mass made of something that can survive reentry impacts with E = 1/2mv^2.
A 6.1 meter x 0.3 meter tungsten rod impacting the earth at Mach 10 would equal an 11.5Kt Nuke without the pesky fallout.
No tungsten on the moon you say? No problem: lunar regolith is mostly Oxygen, silica, and iron. The Chicoms would need an oxygen plant, using solar panels to extract the O2 for breathing. The leftovers would make "good enough" bombs accelerated from the moon using a magnetic rail gun. The stockpile would begin to build almost immediately.
The Moon is the next human "Cold/Hot War."

I think you mean "Footfall."
