Yes it is well known, but I wouldn't call it an issue per se, but rather a demonstration of the ambiguity of natural language. In any given language, many (most?) words have multiple meanings. Even if one of the underlying meanings o

It's not a joke but completely besides the point. Most people aren't drinking butter-roasted coffee. Even if they did, the butter likely isn't adding any actual lipids to the final roast, just slightly altering the internal b

it's because the graveyards and charnel houses were overflowing with rotting bodies, and there were people were walking around with weeping, infected sores (buboes) -- it really stank!

Just an interesting connection, in English, "plastic" comes from Greek, via Latin (and Medieval Italian) "to mold". We see this meaning show up in phrases like "neural plasticity," which refers to the brain

Incorrect. Whiskey requires distillation. High proof beers are made using the same basic process as any other beer, but start with a higher concentration of fermentable sugars and an appropriate, higher alcohol-tolerant yeast. Cryoconcentra

I don't see a problem here. As with most other drugs for which a time-release form already exists, you would start on the instant-release form until your reaction is known and your dosage is dialled in. Then your doctor is able to calc

The dark, cynical side of me says that could just as easily be an excuse to save face/preserve the image of her husband. It's terrible in any case.

I agree with your first paragraph, but the statement that The Nuremberg Trials were only a propaganda tool is just false and an insult to those who brought many to justice. It certain was a propaganda tool as well but justice is not all

although probably unintentional, there's a bit of synchronism too, since the dung beetle (aka scarab) is the ancient Egyptian (Coptic) symbol of resurrection (among other things).

This reminds me of the saying, "you could build a cathedral with all the pieces of the 'True' Cross," which I believe originated in Medieval Christendom. Even back then it was widely known that many, if not most, religio

Great to have another T-slot build system. Seems slightly pricier than Makerbeam but a lot more profile sizes and options in general. I wish there were more kits in their catalog.
