I'm fine with the sun being up at 8 p.m. but I don't like it being so bright at 6 a.m.

We're down to under six hours of dusk here now, sun sets after 22 and is up before 4.

We don't mind, really, but it is a saddening reminder that in six months we'll be down to less than six hours of sun instead.

South-ish parts of Sweden. You probably can!

If you go further north you eventually reach the parts where the sun just doesn't set. In Kiruna it's up from mid may to mid july or something like that. It's pretty freaky. And conversely, you get some time during winter where there is no sun at all.

As much as I loath the English, and I think that fact is pretty well established, they were responsible in a way for making America so they do deserve the worlds praise and credit for that. However, they also started Australia which is an unforgivable sin.

The next Fast and the Furious movie should reveal that Ramsey is Lydia Tars daughter from Tar. It would make perfect sense, they both have British accents, nothing in the movies contradicts each other, and it would be a very natural way to get Tar into the Fast and Furious franchise.

Sherbet is a powder so I don't know why you are comparing it to Ice Cream

Sorbet is a frozen desert

They're two completely different things so idk why you would use the former term for the latter

I’ve only ever seen it spelled “sherbert” but it’s a frozen dessert as well and isn’t the same as sorbet. Pretty sure it’s a southern US thing. I don’t like it. Ice cream or that fancy Italian ice cream that I don’t know how spell but sounds like Geppetto from Pinocchio is the way to go.

It's not the same thing as sorbet and it's pronounced "sherbert" (but not spelled that way)

Huh…I’ve been spelling a dessert wrong my whole life. Well, this being maybe the second or third time I’ve ever done it since being so thoroughly disappointed in a frozen dessert.

Just, what?

I guess my milquetoast opinion is more people need to read a cookbook or some poo poo, because sherbert and sorbet are both very different foods and pronounced differently

Sherbert (sher-bert) is fruit + dairy in it and you've probably gotten it at the country club as dessert, a majestic scoop of rainbow sherbert that they scoop out of a five gallon cardboard parcel that's been sitting in the walking freezer for five months

Sorbet (sorr-bey) is just frozen fruit juice and sugar whipped and frozen

It's often touted as a fancy thing you can buy at jennis or vanhuesens or whatever for 11 bucks a tablespoon but it's just fruit and sugar, my people

They call that wudda-ice in Philadelphia and nobody cares

Sherbet :eng101:

When I just type "sherbert" into Google, the first results are "what's the difference between Sherbet and Sorbet?"

I didn't know the difference. I mean, I knew there was one, but I only know because sorbet doesn't typically have dairy in it and so I eat that, and haven't touched sherbet since I was a kiddo.

Sherbet vs Sherbert is a UK/USA as far as I know, and in my personal experience the south/southwest says sherbet, the northeast is sherbert??

All I can say is I worked in canada-bordered restaurants a ton in NY and if you asked for sherbert you got garbage, if you asked for sorbet you got the nice stuff

Wisconsin is very cosmopolitan. It has a Denmark, a Luxembourg, a New London, and a New Berlin (pronounced with the emphasis on the Ber- instead of the -lin), and probably more that I can't think of at the moment. I'm sure other states have them too, I'm just more familiar with the ones in my home state.

All of those places are little villages with barely anything there.
