@clacke@tfb historically I think there might be that many, though Ethnologue considers there to be 45 living Italic languages now. All of them are considered Romance languages apart from the Latin spoken in the Vatican.
@clacke Ethnologue says there are 284 living indigenous languages in China, out of which 154 is Sino-Tibetan. Those classified as "Chinese" (the closest they get to defining Sinitic I think) are "only" 21. The second largest family is Kra-Dai, the same family that Thai belongs to. https://www.ethnologue.com/country/CN/
@clacke don't know if you missed that Aftonbladet did speculate wildly, and published an article pointing out the wrong person as the suspect and later pulling the article.
@alex@technomancy@clacke not sure if you can even get it from testicles or semen (there seems to be Internet rumours about both), but if you can it must have been much more expensive than synthetic taurine, so they would surely have advertised it in that case.
Side note: the animal in the original name of the brand (grating daeng), and the animal on the logo, is not a bull of cattle but a gaur: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaur
@clacke some helpful information about the Silo novels:
- the series first season just covers the first few chapters of the book, and the plot point that ends the season is even revealed in the opening of the book, so even if you worry about spoilers you can happily watch the TV show first.
- the book series is very impressive for a self published work. They have almost none of the usual signs. (Don't know if he hired an editor privately.)
@drewdevault@Gulfie@Zarkonnen try Thailand, where they sometimes call the ground floor 1 and sometimes 0. And what's "ground floor"? That's the basement.
