  Not quite. With radius 2 and 3 circles, the outer circle would take 2.5 rotations to complete the revolution. You have to set the first circle radius to 1 and then add the radii to calculate the relative circumference of the circle drawn by the motion of the center of the outer circle, so the answer would be calculated like:

  2/2 + 3/2 = 5/2 = 2.5

  I'd generally heard 'laundry stripping' used to refer to a vinegar soak/rinse, followed by a baking soda cycle to further neutralize. The idea being laundry soap/detergent is basic and some things build up and don't dissolve. Added borax was an alternative 'laundry booster' that made this unnecessary, in my experience.

  But, it sounds like there's some variability to how the terms are used and for some the borax rinse is a stripping process. Understandable, as the end result is pretty much the same.

  You can also avoid this problem by adding a little borax to your laundry, particularly if you have hard water.

  I shoot for 2-3 uses for body/shower towels.

  Hand towels, etc I try to grab/replace when I'm doing other laundry. Sometimes more often in the kitchen though, if say I've been cooking a lot and they start feeling wet or funky.

  Modlogs are public here, for one. As communities get bigger and modding gets more labor intensive there's bound to be some convergence in practices, but there's also different options available as instances can defederate, new instances can be established, forks can be made of the technologies at play, etc.

  Guess we'll see.
