The Question IRL posted:

5 minutes of searching Google I find that with Kia Sportages you can use the car key to pry off a part of the door handle to get access to the key hole and manually unlock the car.

Not a huge issue, but when you are truing to leave the house in the freezing cold, it's very frustrating.
There was a whole moral panic alleging that TikTok was teaching kids how to steal Kia Sportages, so it's good to know that the actual truth is that they're just annoying to unlock and not that today's youth can steal cars by twerking at them or whatever the tabloids were claiming.

It even says in that wikipedia article that you could unlock them by inserting a random USB. Not everything is a moral panic.
The actual issue was that Kia were making bad cars though, not that tick tock was training teens to hack the gibson, so the way the papers phrased it was like blaming Primark for selling coat hangers that you could use to unlock old Mercs.

The mad thing about the Royal Racisim Row is when Piers Morgan named the Royals on his show it was "I want to investigate the whole thing. Find out if they said it, in what context they said it and did they have a malicious intention in mind."
Which pretty much translates into "I want to give them multiple defences for why what they said wasn't so bad. Including a defence that we don't know what was in their heart, so it's fine."
Very normal.

450g of compressed R290 deflagrating sounds like a quick way to warm a house.

A HVAC engineer recommended to me that multiple mini-split systems are a far better way to do heat pumps than having a single fridge-freezer sized external unit serving the whole house, you can have mini inverter-compressors for each zone, and have them heating, cooling, or dehumidifying based on each zone's needs. Only problem is getting hot water for the kitchen and bathroom.

Challenge says you have to eat what gets put on your plate, if he was given the chance to exchange the salad for chips or onion rings and chose not to and then avoided the salad then that's on him.

That's what everyone else tells me but to me it has an extremely strong flavour to the point that it's the most noticeable component of anything with it in.

It is a bit random though, some cucumbers have it and others don't. Not sure if there's some weird variety or age related thing that I'm picking up.
I wonder if it's a genetic thing like the gene that makes some other greens taste like soap and poisonous alkaloids.

The number 8 has been argued as the first to be considered composite, either as "twice four" or as "two short of ten", or similar, as 7 has been claimed to be the highest number of items that can universally be cognitively processed as a single set.

Sprouts are conversely probably my favourite vegetable, I wish they were an all year thing as I would never stop eating them. Don't even need seasoning or anything, just steam them a bit and I can sit with a a bowl of them and just munch them like popcorn.

I like to parboil then fry them as a substitute for chips or rice but I usually end up eating quite a number of them during the cooking process.

Cabbage on the other hand is dire, just sloppy, tasteless sprout.

I can see where you'd maybe get tinsel though, they do have a faintly metallic flavour, like liver or lamb.
Sprouts have recently been rebred to lose the bitter taste and taste more like broccoli and kohlrabi and other green stem vegetables, so that may be them as well as you. Cabbage has also been spliced and isolated in the opposite direction to be less soggy, and be more a brassicaceae type tasty green food plant.

e: Fried kale is also good and in the same genus.

Every sprout I've had in the past decade has tasted like it was a good sprout designed to be eaten as a vegetable, but the same is true for every cabbage, so I may have been vegetally conditioned by the brassica lizard people who are allegedly doing things to the greens.
