"Every minute counts". Hmmm... I saw a few minutes and I did not see them/ hear them counting.
Every second counts. You were probably observing odd-numbered minutes.

Yes, when I saw the counting minutes, I thought : How odd...

I guess I will listen especially carefully next time an odd minute comes, to hear whether it counts, too, or not. But usually the fireworks are so loud that it's almost impossible to hear it count. Maybe that's why they release it then.

Deontological, profilactic sausage encryption? I will hire this guy as the PR guy for my group:



It may not be "random enough", but I was wondering if there is more wisdom to be had from In Living Color, perhaps once a week?

Things I learned from the movies #26: all rooms in Paris have a view of the Eiffel Tower.
Yeah, and all places in Germany are full of flags. If I want to see some, I'll have to watch an American show, 'cause outside it'll be far too troublesome to find any. And of course, the Turkey at the corner selling kebabs automatically turns into some kind of Hofbräuhaus.

There is Wisdom galore to be gained from Living Color, particularly from Oswald " Wisdom Galore" Bates.
 
My friend just sent a message to Pujols in LinkedIn for his 3,000th hit. Wonder if Pujols will reply.

I guess my question is:

is this one of those "this is left as an exercise to the reader" situations? Or will we have a (weekly?) guided tour here? :oldwink:

I have a feeling I'll like this Oswald guy. Sounds like a Bond character. I have a feeling DAG may have some wisdom too.

If I added vitamin c powder to a bottle of water and froze it, would the vitamin be destroyed?
 
Thanks, Iemon is a good idea and I'll get some litmus paper.

"Vitamin C is susceptible to air and the longer a fruit is frozen, the more vitamin C is lost." - Google

I always thought that when something is frozen, all the atoms stop moving. I don't know why something will get more damaged the longer is it frozen.

I have a smoothie chilling in the fridge made of a whole pineapple, 400ml of coconut cream and dark cane sugar.

Google is not much of a source, particularly when it comes to things like nutrition. Google is a good first-order tool for finding sources (on nutrition, for example), but is not source in and of itself. (On the other hand, Alphabet's Google division might be a good source on aspects of search engine technology, for example.)

I think the source of the quote you mentioned comes from an article on livestrong.com (not Google), https://www.livestrong.com/article/361456-nutrition-loss-in-frozen-foods/. But I do not consider that a good source either since it provides no sources of its own to back up its claim.

(Literally) bit my tongue like 4 times in the last few days. Wonder if it is stress-related. It hurts like $%^

Could be worse. It could have bled like $%^\, and it hardly stops if it's the tongue. And as if this wasn't enough, it tastes like licking an I-beam.

Sure. But I haven't figured out why, and your report supports my hypothesis, that once it happened once, it will inevitably happen more than once.
 
And now for a call back to the first of the month

Frequently people choose to to bite their tongue instead of saying something disruptive, like I dunno...

...he introduces it and I just blurt out a " Oh $%^& " ( I thought they would interrupt my work ) and a bunch of people turn to look my way.
