It's worse. Almost all cheap real black coloured olives you buy in most shops are sodium hydroxide and oxygen oxygenated and ferrous gluconate post treated unripe green olives. Very dark red fully tree ripened, fermented, brined olives do exist but they are rarely sold in the shops and expensive.

“Vuile kankerhond. Hoerenkind.” Interviewer opzij duwen, veel te dichtbij komen en dan een Hitlergroet. Op klaarlichte dag, op een terrasje in Amsterdam waar we nog even voor het debat bij elkaar kwamen.

Intimidatie van politici is onacceptabel. We moeten een grens trekken.

Met nepafbeeldingen mensen ophitsen en tegen elkaar opzetten.

Het laat zien dat de PVV een diep anti-democratische club is.

Also different phone system might render Emoji slightly different, and if it is already a bit vague what the intention is, this might exceserbate the difficulty.

Wonderful, I never heard of the Cheshire grin! And I lived in Cheshire (I looked it up and it comes from Alice in Wonderland's Cheshire Cat), in my area we used to call it the "American smile", and in British literature I guess it would be described as the grin of a second hand car salesman.

Interesting I have the opposite. Most people I know use it as a grimace but there is one or two friends who use it as as smile en it is confusing as hell. I noticed it is often iPhone users or people who do not get subtile dark humor right. Grimace=😬, Super smile or "American smile"=😁

My little book on Schrödinger's famous classic 'What Is Life?' is out! Offering the most comprehensive analysis ever undertaken of the book's origins, reception, impact, and legacy, it uncovers Schrödinger's motivations in writing it, and shows how it has shaped our current understanding of the cell

This is great! I use 21 dehydroxylase as an example for intersex and I would love to add a short section about (C)AIS too. If you know about (or have) good teaching resources about it it would be more then welcome.

And what is it's Hitlerjunge quex, and who will be their Albert Speer? I know what you mean, but a too literal comparison with Hitler Germany doesn't get us nowhere, there are more parallels with other Fascist regimes and it is better to look at those too.

I love the opportunities MOFs offer. I slightly worry about the toxic properties of some of them when not disposed of properly or produced at scale by unethical businesses.
