German-English connections: "anecken" and "to egg on." These words don't mean exactly the same thing, but they are related. Etymologically, they seem closely related. English is a Germanic language. And phrasal verbs offer up interesting connections.

What's going on with ArcelorMittal's steel decarbonization projects Steelanol and Torero in Belgium? 🔩🔗🏭
Recently, several Belgian publications reported that ArcelorMittal may shutdown the Steelanol plant at its site in Ghent. Steelanol converts steel mill off-gases into Ethanol.
Steelanol has a "sister project" called Torero, a Biocoal plant. And it appears Torero is not working as planned.

Fun fact: in #Polish, all cardinal directions have the same names as times of day. East is "wschód" which means "rise" (as in sunrise, "wschód słońca"), west is "zachód" — "set" (as in sunset, "zachód słońca"). North is "północ", lit. "midnight", and south is "południe", lit. "midday".
Apparently, the #English etymology is not so clear. "West" and "east" seem to unrecognizably stem from the words for evening and dawn. "South" seem to be related to "sun", whereas "north" to "to the left of the rising sun".

Ich bin jetzt übrigens beim zweiten Durchgang in einer ca. 2 %igen Lösung von Ethanolaminthioglycolat in Isopropropanol.
Dazwischen wird jeweils in Isopropanol gespült.
Das Ganze wird ein paar Tage dauern.
Zum Schluss wird dann noch versiegelt mit Paraloid B67.

You know the whole fracas over whether GIF is pronounced with a hard or a soft G?
A female cat is a queen; an entire male is a tom. A neutered male, however, has been called a gib since at least the 14th Century. And despite the term’s great age, there’s *still* no consensus—you guessed it—on whether it’s pronounced with a hard or a soft G.
