@codl ah I didn't see that part

I suspect a lot of even native english speakers wouldn't be able to tell you why "consider this british classic meal" is wrong, though--it *is* wrong, the adjectives are in the wrong order, but from all the grammar that's taught in schools that looks perfectly correct. So I don't blame someone for getting it wrong, particularlyl if it's their second language

@codl maybe the point is to seem more authentic?

in our experience, quite a lot of restaurants use the foreign word for foreign food at least in the US (or sometimes for non-foreign food in order to seem Fancier™)

@Draekos now i'm thinking about how one might theoretically apply the other wikipedia verification-needed templates like [which?] or [not found in citation given]

re: hot take? 

@starkatt @ziphi I sometimes wonder how good a job it would do of conveying "danger" to someone who isn't familiar with the symbol, though.

The radiation hazard symbol has this same problem, though

@Nine also pretty sure some of the components of wood will sublimate rather than melt?
-F

@Nine i don't think wood has a single melting point, since it's not a chemically pure substance nor a eutectic mixture

it feels weird to think that serotonin is like

an actual physical thing, that has a melting point and a boiling point

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz ...i just realized i did exactly this on this particular post and that feels noteworthy somehow

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz oh not just historical, apparently the Proton rockets still use UDMH in combination with dinitrogen tetroxide, another oxidizer I forgot to mention. they probably have a ton of nitrogen oxides in their exhaust

RP1/LOX is, i think, the most common fuel/oxidizer mixture though. I know the Falcon rockets use that, and a lot of NASA's rockets have and do as well
-F

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz Some historical rockets also used monomethylhydrazine (MMH) or unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) which on top of being horrendously toxic, produce all manner of nasty combustion products

and then there was the hydrogen/lithium/fluorine rocket that was tested once and never actually used because seriously what the fuck
