  • Slightly unclear from the change in word order, but is this a variety of garlic which happens to have a distinct honey flavour, a honey infused with fermented garlic, or a fermented blend of honey & garlic?

  • I haven't, though garlic is rather sweet anyhow, so can imagine how it might be.

  • In reality it would just be chickpeas and tahini, with the garlic, lemon juice and salt omitted.

    Then one could add honey to make it sweet, and maybe cinnamon, vanilla or nutmeg.

    End result would be a bit like a soft, spreadable halva.

  • Outside of the US, soccer fixtures are the biggest sporting events (certainly in Europe & Russia).

    Due to a long history of violent football hooliganism, there is already elevated security around these events & international intelligence coordination preceding them.

    Additionally, it is usually very difficult to obtain tickets unless you have connections to a club.

    These factors would make them trickier targets than lesser sporting events or concerts.

    Differences in transport access to sporting stadia & theatres in different countries may also play a role. Terrorists naturally take logistics into account.

    And maybe the US just picks up more chatter about sporting events & not much about theatres?

    But yeah, broadly either type of target is possible anywhere.

  • Given that the purpose of the EU was to dramatically reduce the conflicts that plagued Europe for thousands of years, culminating in WWII, through ever greater cooperation, the credibility of the project may come into question if Europe is unable to cooperate enough to see off Russian aggression in neighbouring terrain.

    Relative to many of the issues which the EU & closely aligned neighbours must agree upon if they are to act, responses to a military threat ought to be easier to arrive at, and yet here we are.

  • On the other hand, can be useful to have a moderator in a totally different time zone to the rest of the team.

    Lack of history seems more relevant, though not as much as a candidate's personality.

  • They're our structural engineer now, Dave.

  • Try an image search for "beam connectors" and you should get an idea of the types of things that are available, but a trip to your local builders' merchant & a chat with the people there may be more fruitful.

  • To attach wood to an I-beam, you could drill holes in the flanges of the beam, then use bolts. There are also fittings that you can slide posts & beams into, with various ways of securing them to the material they hold. If you're not using T-shaped fittings, you could bolt fittings together.

  • Assumed OP meant this type of thing, but yours seems more likely as it would be cheaper to buy & to install.

  • That one's good enough to suggest to them!

    Can see why they'd maybe be wary of getting into appraising open source projects if taking payments, but maybe something they could collaborate on with EFF & others. Maybe also that "alternative to" project, which doesn't currently focus on open source stuff but naturally covers quite a lot of it.

  • Indeed & this aches my heart.

    Think we all get why they're too cynical to kick off, but still.

  • Maybe just so new users realise they're a thing.

    Firefox out of the box isn't very attractive, so mixing in themes by default maybe helps retain new people without driving us lot away.

  • We will arse them on the beaches?

  • Often don't need corn starch, but depends on makeup of the paper & what you want for the end use, leave to dry. Can add glues for other effects.

    Tear up pieces, soak in water, squeeze out excess water, shape as needed. Adjust size of torn pieces for different structural effects, from slurry you can pipe for definition & brittle strength or compression through to large overlaid sheets for sheering strength & flexibility)

  • Loved my one very short trip to Germany & really want to start making many more visits.

    Great people, beautiful language & seems like you guys have a bit of everything. Banging.

  • Yeah, I'd say that French brusqueness was softer than Danish.

    Faffing around overly seems rude to me - too much scope for misunderstanding when one have to hope the other person has read between the lines as one intended them.

  • Tbh the reputed rudeness was usually just brusqueness, only a mode amongst some of the population (with just as many or more being utterly charming), and had largely ceased to be a thing over 20 years ago.

  • Idyllic!
