Author notes the difficulty of cutting thin slices of raw chicken. If you lightly freeze it (or freeze it and let it nearly defrost) it's much easier.

> He is credited both with major innovations in the production process and with introducing the characteristic green top that still crowns every one of the one-million-plus bottles of Tabasco that are produced on Avery Island every day.

Green top? I thought I was going nuts. But the bottle in my cupboard has a red top and the bottles on Amazon have red tops.

If someone requires medical treatment and you prevent them accessing it and they die, then you killed them.

The CSO is saying that from his point of view he needs to defend against the attacks whatever the reason for them. So to him the reason doesn't matter.

English is great at exceptions, but I'm nearly sure anything ending in -ation is a noun. Ligation certainly is.

Ligation is (among other things) the act of applying a ligature. So it does make sense.

Your final paragraph refers to something that's about to be published on the web. So the AI will train on it anyway.

Very nearly half of HS2 - 64 miles - is in tunnels. This happened because the Conservative government was terrified of upsetting the Conservative voters along the route. The bat tunnel was nuts, but it's not that significant overall.

I have a $15/annum VPS. It only has 128MB RAM. They don't offer them this small or this cheap any more.

I run a private Matrix server using conduit. It has about ten active users.
