    OK, that was a weird one, but using a trick I'd seen the bot use left me with one option after the second line. Wordle 1,237 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 ⬜🟨🟨🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

    How has it taken them this long?

    Yep, kills 5 people a year as they try to fry turkeys that are still part frozen - the ice melts, sinks to the bottom (as liquid water is denser than oil), then vaporises, spraying oil onto the burner : USians do some very stupid things.

    How has it taken them this long?

    But in the real world, the average USian needs to get an electrician in to get a 230V socket suitable for plugging in a hot liquor tank, which the average "casual" homebrewer isn't going to do, which is why propane burners are so common there.

    How has it taken them this long?

    Not surprisingly, hopped malt extract was very popular during Prohibition in the US : Pinter seems to have gained a little bit of traction over there, so it's not surprising that "real" homebrew stores are starting to offer their own kits. One disincentive over there of course is their...

    The cookery guy should stick to cooking, as this is wrong on both counts. Here's the view from an actual lawyer : https://www.london-law.co.uk/ive-developed-a-sensational-new-recipe-can-i-copyright-it/ In this case it's pretty clear that the text is from CML, and if a recipe is using things...

    Taxi

    But there's various options for "autonomous" recharging - there's several versions of a robot arm that can automatically insert a charger into a car, and Musk claims that the planned Tesla robotaxi will use induction charging as has already been trialled on a taxi rank in Nottingham...

    Taxi

    Elon Musk promised in 2015 that Teslas would have "complete autonomy" "in two years". Seven years later, we're still waiting - Tesla won't release the data they have, but crowdsourced data suggests that they can only go an average of 84 miles before a "critical disengagement" (ie handing back to...

    It's hard to copyright a list of ingredients ("30g of Citra, 20g of Mosaic") but the method ("add at 10 minutes") and other stuff ("I visited the Timbuktu brewery and was given this recipe by the head brewer Fred") very much are subject to copyright. And then there's a more general thing of not...

    Electric cars.

    I've also seen ABRP recommended as an alternative for those BMWs etc where they try to charge you for using the satnav etc... Be interested to see how Jocky gets on as from memory your pattern is similar to my own, rather suboptimal-for-EVs pattern of driving (and I'm in no hurry to replace my...

    Father Hook - off taste - any way back?

    It's complicated, those kinds of chemically/acetone flavours can be actual acetone, they can be fusels, or they can be high concentrations of ethyl acetate - an ester. So I'd assume nothing... wink... High temperature can be a reason for them - remember that air temperature is not the same as...

    No, not unless CML - or whoever the copyright owner is - OKed it as otherwise it's a blatant breach of copyright law and prudent bulletin board owners stay well clear of that sort of thing for fear of the legal implications.

    The NOT Budget thread

    It seems a certain group of people who had never previously showed any concern for Parliamentary procedures, are now getting terribly upset because it was suggested MPs don't say anything about the Southport case to avoid prejudicing the legal case against him. Which is self-evidently a sensible...

    Boosting ABV in a Porter Recipe

    It's...complicated, it's the sort of thing that really comes with experience and knowing how your kit and your yeast respond. So there's no "simple" answer. But one big difference is that you need to look after your yeast a lot more. First off just check that it can cope with the alcohol, you're...
