Exactly. The use of "female" is clinical in that context. It's meant to be sterile, emotionless, professional, and adequately descriptive.

Different gallons. One US gallon is 0.832674 UK gallons, or 3.785412 liters.

"An important day for Canada and, therefore, the world"

They're gunning for the user, whom they wish to exploit. The user clings to FLOSS alternatives in an attempt to avoid having their data harvested, analyzed, weaponized, and leveraged against the user for profit.

One for each server.

I recognize the style from Gary Larson's The Far Side. It turns out Kliban was an inspiration of his!

While stopped, keep it in first gear and hold the clutch. Plan an escape path ahead of time and park at a slant if you have to. Using your mirrors, remain vigilant of traffic approaching from behind. Safe rides! 🏍️✌️

"I keep warning you. Doors and corners, kid. That's where they get you..."

I would wonder about shared loads on the mains causing undesirable power factors or other electrical noise. I'd check that the mains frequency remains within specification as well: 50/60Hz ± 3Hz according to APC.

Mechanical fuse. Typically composed of shear pins or can be geartrain shafts manufactured with intentionally thinner cross-sections placed at strategic points. A plastic cog in some power tools serves a similar purpose.

l'll speak up for airplanes, or at least airliners in particular. I concede the point they mostly burn non-renewable fuels, but they make excellent use of the resources. Rhetorically speaking, one can cross half the planet in half a day, for not much money, in a mode of transport that is the safest on the planet (typically an order of magnitude safer than cars as I recall).

I kill them with a spray bottle filled with 70% isopropyl alcohol. The mist is difficult to avoid, and once they're knocked down, I drown them with a few more blasts. I think the surface tension of the alcohol is able to permeate the tiny holes (spiracles) that would normally keep water out of their respiratory system. No guts, just wipe away the fly's body and any excess alcohol. Anything you miss will simply evaporate. Bonus: 70% isopropyl alcohol is a disinfectant, so you've already helped clean any disease the fly may have been carrying.
