Oak contains vanillins and wood sugars. French oak tends to taste a little bit more spiced and American oak tends to be a bit more sweet.

When making my apple mead, I always add French oak while maturing, and it makes a huge difference in taste. I add it mostly for the tannins though (the bitter part of tea), which gives it more "chew" (like the difference between white and red wine).

In Flanders (at least where I'm at) we usually say I grec, but when doing math or reciting the alphabet, we say IJ.

The price of bread has always been a good indicator for unrest, and it's rising quickly.

That's hardcore.

Whenever I post something on the internet, I do so in English, since that's a language most people on this world speak. I'd love it if Americans did the same with measurements when writing down recipes on the internet. I'm sorry for this offensive opinion.

Als ge liever wilt, kan ik het ook in het Nederlands doen. Op het internet spreek ik over het algemeen Engels, aangezien dat een taal is die nagenoeg iedereen spreekt. Ik zou het vree tof vinden als Amerikanen dat ook zouden doen met maten en gewichten in hun recepten. Sorry om zo kort van antwoord te zijn.

If I remember correctly, that's basically the Einstein - de Sitter universe, one of the early cosmological models. Einstein also didn't like the accelerated growth of the universe, he called the cosmological constant (what's now known as dark energy) a big mistake.

O weird, it doesn't have that connotation for me. I am from Flanders tho, not the Netherlands.

At my job every desk has a docking station with 1 or 2 monitors, a keyboard and a mouse. I actually quite like it. We've also got a "quiet office" to get work done and a "loud office" to take calls and stuff. I feel it's a good solution for companies our size (30-ish people that work from home half of the time).

As someone living in a European country and working for one of the many companies with a lot of American customers, I find it weird to have to justify that a land war in Europe is bad. Even from a purely cynical point that all of your taxpayer money should come back to you, you're actively harming yourself if you don't help Ukraine as we do.

If Mozilla were to disappear, Chromium web engine would have a true monopoly. Seeing how bad things are getting with their almost monopoly, I'd like to help avoid that.

In the 10-ish years I use Linux, I've never had any sound issues. I really don't get how people think this is still an issue.
