The equator itself is associated with very low wind speeds, aka the doldrums.

You can get those kinds of beers.

Beer (and wine) has to be really sweet at the start of the fermenting process, because that sugar is what feeds the yeast. If you don’t add any hops, then the resulting beverage tends to be malty sweet and very one dimensional. The hops cut down and balance the sweetness.

Tablespoon of olive oil straight up is an actual complete breakfast around various parts of the Mediterranean.

They said England is no more, but that red X is also deleting Wales and Northern Ireland.

Pull a Michael Westen and shoot a hole in the wallboard next to the steel door.

The mythological legend regarding Lesbos was that all of the women Lesbians started having sex with each other one time when all of the men Lesbians went off to war.

Edit: Sappho was a real poet really from Leabos, and is one of the founders of lyric poetry in Western literature. Lyric poetry here means mostly any kind of poem that’s a lot shorter than the multi-chapter epics.

Carrots are also roots.

Really, I think rtfm culture predates Windows by a good bit.

To be fair to Airbus,

1. They probably chose the language for that call-out way before 2009. Airplanes can live for thirty years, and type designs can keep going several decades longer

2. The designers were also likely to be French, but they selected English call-outs. This seems to me like a case where they picked a word that’s technically in the OED l, but is actually much more common in French.

Well, it’s a weightless chicken at least, because this model’s got no gravity.

Somebody who is less lazy than me should try to translate the glyphs.

Usual business mindset on something like this is, “Sure, this is not economical for us, but it’s only for six to nine months while the software guys code up the real software. In the mean time, we’ll collect and maintain market share, and we’ll just swap in the real software when it’s ready.”

Yes. But that is cooking the meat, as in changing the taste and texture by denaturing proteins.

Pasteurized milk does not get cooked in the same manner.

It should be “Pasteurize”, as it’s named after Louis Pasteur. And the specific process he invented dramatically increases the shelf life of milk using very high temperatures for a very short time… Without changing the milk texture or cooking it very much.

So pasteurization is a process that sterilises did with heat. But I don’t think it works on meat.

Nice laptop sticker

Also folks hiding their user agent string or doing something cheeky like “Notepad/1.0”

CGP Grey is all over it. The design they picked is pretty sweet.

It’s from Coca-Cola (headquartered in Atlanta) having total dominance of the south for a long time.

Yeah this stuff has to pass qual testing. Extreme high and low temperatures, vibration profiles, humidity and sea water exposure, probably shock loads, stricter EMI controls (compared to FCC), ESD exposure, explosive atmosphere testing, and so on and so on.
