Related: AC. I live in an apartment complex in which each unit has a shitty, absurdly loud AC unit. Come 17 °C and one jackass ruins it for everyone else who might to sit outside or have their windows open. Between that and landscaping....

I had to double check the word for rust in Polish thinking surely that it must be a typo, but no. Rdza is indeed rust in Polish. Kurwa język.

Edit: apparently a lot of other Slavic languages are similar, e.g. the equivalent of rżawczyna in Russian (don't have a Russian keyboard). Kurwa języki.

Legitimately grappling with this now in the chemical industry. I don't work directly with petrochem, but my salary is essentially subsidised by plastics manufacturing, including cracker technology. Can I somehow move the needle toward better technologies in a fundamentally conservative sunk-cost asset-based industry? Or, am I better off quitting, trying to find a new job while being legally barred from talking about work-related accomplishments, and hoping the whole thing somehow goes under on its own? It keeps me up at night.

I don't know about "better", but I've been experimenting with adding bitter chocolate to my indian curries. The thinking being, some masalas are a bit like mole if you squint (yes, I know most moles don't actually contain chocolate). Balancing out the bittersweetness has been challenging, especially given that the tomatoes I can get around here are already quite sweet. It also affects how much lemon juice or amchoor is needed. I'm not quite convinced yet that it's a good idea lol.
