Reply to comment by TooSubtle in TIL Duck is considered a red meat by culinary standards. by BertyBert1
If it helps, male ducks are horribly misogynistic rapists with torture implements for penises. They pretty much all deserve to be eaten with hoisin sauce.

Reply to comment by thatbvg in [OC] geospatial distribution of different fast food chains in the USA (included some of your suggestions from my previous post) by MaverickJW
Multi-brand companies usually focus group that choice at a minimum, because of the many bad stories of clueless multi-nationals in the 1960s and 1970s. The most famous example is probably when Chevrolet tried to sell its “Nova” model in Mexico, which failed badly because “no va” in Spanish means “(you) do not go.”
Is there a potentially similar sounding word in Arabic to “Carl’s” that they might want to avoid associating with?

If you use a different nuclear cycle you can burn almost all the waste products. The US and former USSR optimized for plutonium production, which requires a cycle that creates more radioactive waste.

I recommend The Athletic for NA beer. Literally better than a decent number of craft beers. Comes in a wide variety of styles.

Reply to Quantum computers and space travel by quantumscion
There might be advantages to using quantum computers to optimize solutions to n-body problems, but it shouldn’t make much difference normally given the length of mission planning.

Reply to comment by spidereater in [OC] Bank failures come in waves by pranshum
Bank runs are confidence driven too. So occasional failures happen from incompetence or one-off circumstances. But when systemic confidence is threatened you get big clusters.
