This is a good video on it. Around 12:30 specifically goes over the old British man version.

You ever hear a posh British man from the early-mid 1900’s talk? The US valley-girl vocal fry has nothing on CS Lewis.

Finnish is probably the most deep-fried language, though.

Yeah, thats why I specified it was just in the coating. Like the spangle in galvanized metal where you see grains with the naked eye.

In addition to what others people have mentioned (studies showing legitimate benefits to increased protein, greater need to ensure adequate protein intake for those with artificially reduced appetite, and just general dude-bro carnivore keto fads), a huge thing that I haven’t seen mentioned in this thread is the massive dairy surplus.

Very few people drink milk as a beverage compared to 15 years ago, so the dairy industry (with the aid of the government) is trying to get as many alternative uses for dairy going as possible.

AFAIK, that’s also how microprocessors are made; single crystals of silicon, though that’s a metalloid not a metal.

This is also a big part of why manufacturing in space has huge potential. In micro-gravity, crystal formation is less effected. I risk it’s a bigger deal for things like proteins, optics, and other non-metal things, though.

I could be wrong, but there’s a decent chance the corrosion is just following grain boundaries of the metal. When liquid metal cools, or is otherwise deposited (like galvanization), the atoms stack up into a crystal structure. Depending on the exact procedure, this process starts in comparatively many or few places. As more atoms stack up, the crystals run into each other, but they are usually not lined up right to just merge, so they have awkward borders. All the “impurities” get pushed into the borders.

The crystals are called grains, and controlling their size and shape is basically the most important factor in determining the strength of a metal. When a blacksmith quenches something, it’s to cool it down really quick so those grains are really small, which makes the metal really hard. Heat treating later lets some of the grains merge to soften the metal up a bit so it’s less brittle.

In this case, the corrosion is just in a coating, probably nickel, but the principle of having grains is the same. All the stuff that’s more susceptible to corrosion is confined to the borders.

The price of good coffee has definitely risen lately, but the price at the bottom of the market has really cranked up. Something like a can of folgers has basically doubled in the past year or so.

I’ve made american cheese out of parmigiano reggiano. Technically, it’s not just cheese and sodium citrate; you also need extra water depending on how dry the cheese is. It’s a good way to add flavor because you can use stock, or beer, or mountain dew, or whatever.

Yes, nunti. You give it your rss feeds, and you either like or dislike items. It recognizes what types of things you do and dont want to see, and prioritizes that.

It’s all open source, so you could mess with it if you want. There is some built in ability to tune parameters.

The downside is you can’t cluster your feeds. E.g., sometimes I want to read the news, and sometimes I want recipes, but with nunti, it’s all combined.

Yeah, but I suppose even then, you probably wouldnt be hunted down by the police for slandering a random person, it would only be if you insulted someone wealthy/powerful?

Hopefully I can cunningham’s law a more intelligent response, but libel and defamation aren’t “illegal” as in the police will arrest you for it, it’s a civil violation, so the target of that libel would have to sue you for it.

Different countries have different bars for proving defamation. Famously, British media avoids calling drunk people drunk, and instead uses “tired and emotional” or similar, because if you say someone was drunk, but you can’t prove it, you are liable if they sue. Contrast that to the US, where if you sue someone for calling you drunk, you have to prove that they would know that they are lying.

Both methods are subject to abuse, but since suing costs money, it’s more often a weapon of the privileged, so I prefer the US method.

Not just political

I’m just going to spam this fact in this thread, but there is no evidence that bartering has ever been a stepping stone to a currency-based economy in any culture. Bartering only arises in cultures that are accustomed to money, but run into issues with currency supply (deflation, hyperinflation, etc).

So no cultures have moved away from bartering to currency, they’ve moved back to currency.

It sounds like your problems aren’t with EVs. It sounds like your problems are with any modern car.
