discovered
A way of saying something or someone was found. Usually, it is when the masses gain knowledge of the person, product, or information. It is obviously past tense for "discover". A person that has been discovered is already known by a
small group of people. Examples of a small group could be people in their neighborhood or people with
specialized knowledge in a particular area. However, when a celebrity or a person of influence promotes them, that is when they are considered "discovered".Individuals also say they discovered a product. Like when they are the first in their immediate circle to have knowledge of the product.You could hear about a really good product from a friend
out of town, then
buy it and start using it. Once you introduce it to your group of friends and family and it gains popularity, you will be known as the person that discovered that product.

A credit card which most stores within the US now accept, but usually has a tiny credit limit.
They used to be a decent credit card company with generous credit limits and various purchase protections and deals alongside
its good customer service, but now that is all in the past and they are behind even
Capital One.
Example:
My
Discover card I had since 2018 finally went from a limit of $250 to $1000 in 2022, so I went to the audio/video store to buy an LED TV.
The store took my Discover card, but a week later I
changed my mind and decided to get a refund, only for the store to tell me "that's too bad". I
called up Discover and they also told me "too bad, we haven't offered refund protection since 2018".
Now there's a broken TV in my spunk dungeon.

a) (in terms of
forensic and criminal investigations): not to be confused with, and the exact opposite of,
to invent.
b) (in terms of technological/medical/scientific progress): to use methods that have been used in the past (on issues that are no longer relevant in one's own society) to
tackle modern issues
Example:
a) If you are a
serial murderer you can be
telling me your limo is triple parked all you want; you are
not the brightest lightbulb in the chandelier. Forensic science is there to discover exactly what the 5 journalistic w's and 1h are in your specific case.
b) When you discover something, you are most likely using a long-ago invented, tried, and abandoned solution (to a past problem) to tackle modern issues; that being said, why can't we use methods such as corpse incineration, that have been tried during the Middle Ages on the Black Death, on the current Ebola epidemic?

Example:
This thing costs some money once
the trial is over...
so in case I am just "discovering America", I was wondering if anyone was aware of any similar but free
options?
