The poster you're replying to was asking about wheat vs rice protein, not whey.


Even worse for Icelandic ones. Keychron used to show the Icelandic flag on their Nordic keyboard page, despite that layout not including Icelandic-specific characters (Ð / Þ missing, Ö in the wrong place). I asked them to start including those characters, but now they just removed the flag.

For Framework I went with a blank ISO layout.


In the U.K. they even use the term "give evidence" for the act of testifying in court.


My native keyboard layout is Icelandic so I'm not holding my breath. I ordered one with a blank ISO layout.


>Why hasn't anyone made a hybrid car that uses a gasoline-powered turbine generator to charge its batteries instead of a piston engine?

The current engine formula (2014-) in Formula 1 racing might be of interest to you.

> During acceleration of a Formula 1-car, the turbo charger is performing at its peak and is spinning at about 100,000 rpm. The MGU-H (Heat) functions at that moment as a generator. This is connected to the turbo charger and converts the energy, generated by the turbo, into electricity; that, in turn, is stored in a battery or sent directly to the MGU-K.

> This MGU-K (Kinetic), connected straight to the crankshaft of the turbo engine, acts as an electric motor that supplies extra power to said engine. This MGU changes into a dynamo, which stores the energy that is released during braking in the battery. This stored energy, can later be used to support the turbo engine during acceleration or overtaking.


>Luckily Init7 took them to court and they are now back peddling.

You mean back-pedaling. Peddling is something different.


This crash was also covered on an episode[1] of the Black Box Down podcast.

Drivel. Dribble is what you do with a basketball.


Cool


>I'm not sure what you mean by "sound the same", but just by comparing a simple change from major to minor is quite a dramatic change

That's because OP is not talking about the differences between scales (major vs minor) but keys (C major vs A major). With equal temperament all keys of the same scale have the exact same intervals between the notes. They are simply shifted up or down by a constant amount. Before equal temperament that was not the case.


In finance, MM is a shorthand for millions: https://www.orsurety.com/blog/is-it-m-for-thousand-and-mm-fo...


Weird to call it a shorthand when M means the same thing ;)


English wasn't always the lingua franca


But France has been on metric for a long time.


Yeah, but they counted money for even longer time
