@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.
@clacke given how generously they define this it seems strange if you wouldn't. Several of my favourite philosophers lived then, so everytime I think of some of their advice does that count? If so why not every time someone thinks of a New Testament quotation?
@clacke@simulo I guess we don't need to feel bad as looking at the etymology it seems stat the Hebrew name is already quite a serious butchering of an Egyptian name.
