Depends on the spice and the part of the world you're talking about. Chilli was/is used heavily in Mexico and India to add or mask flavour but, also they also have antibacterial an…

Here in the UK that is the case but, not for spices but for herbs. If you're from the UK you'll know that mint source with your Sunday roast is very common. It was invented by the …

But "baby" (in this example) is the most common word I use. That is data too. Perhaps there is a part of the country were "baby" is more commonly used than anywhere else. Perhaps t…

"How do you refer to your mother?" I say "mother", why is that not in the list of predefined answers!?! "Which of these words (if any) would you use for a baby?" Baby. I say "baby"…

Under the section "Cell towers moving from microwave to fiber optic" it is stated that 50-100Mbps backhaul links for cell towers are common. We're well beyond that; 5G trial sites …

No, 1 million people didn't try to get on the planes at the same time.

I assume there are a lot of famous technologies accredited to a company, I'd love to know the names of some of the engineers and researchers behind some of the great inventions tha…

Thanks for the info. When 3D printing started to blow up I brushed it off due to the plastic waste I would produce. I need to look into it again it seems.

I would never work for one of those companies, their ethics and morals are disgraceful. Edit: sorry didn't understand all the letters in the acronym. I don't think Netflix are bad,…

It's great that you have documented this process, especially the failures section, not enough people do this in my opinion. However, it really annoys me when people make these blog…

I think this is an important note that you have made. Meetings are not a place for free and open discussion, which in my experience often derails them. We tend to have two kinds of…

Jeez - typo central! Sorry, I was actually walking around on my phone when I posted this :)

Take more desk breaks were you get up and wall around. Getting he blood moving just by walking round the flat for a couple of minutes actually makes a difference. I work from home …
