In the middle east we pickle pretty much any vegetable in existence. Carrot, beets, cauliflower, jalapenos, cabbage, olives, eggplant, the list goes on.

Aye, true

Shoulda gone with "retreat to [the high ground] is as old as humanity.

Why wast time say lot word when few word do trick? - Kevin Malone

I thought we only called them gherkins if they were sliced with that wavy slicer!

Some people just like to say 'No' to people. Even when they agree! It baffles me, but I think that's what's happening here.

Am of to good cucumber Ghana.

Yep. This is especially observable in archery, since arrows drop off over such a shorter distance than bullets. With a simple bow and arrow, if you can hit something at 20 yards by aiming straight at it, then at 30 yards you'll have to aim quite a bit higher, and at 40 yards you'll have to aim much higher. The principle carries true to firearms, albeit over longer distances since the projectiles are traveling faster and thus travel further while under the same pull of gravity.

Burrito is a good one too. Little donkey. Cuz the tortilla holds it all for us.

Uk here, they are called gherkins and we have, in the grocery shop; pickled cabbage, onion, beetroot (I think Americans call them beats) in glass jars. I can’t remember seeing gherkins or pickled egg in the shops but they are a common thing to exist, gherkins are common on burgers and pickled egg are often sold at fish and chip shops.

Quantum computing can break current encryption standards, but that isn't feasible for anyone except the most technologically superior APT. Also, quantum encryption methods exist specifically to mitigate the effects of encryption cracking.

Scopes intended for long ranges will typically have multiple markers for multiple ranges. I.e., along one long vertical line, you have a specific horizontal line for 100 yards, and another one for 200 yards, and another one for 300 yards, etc.

These account for basic bullet drop, but then you will have to do some on-the-fly adjustment for things like wind. This is one of the reasons why, in the military, someone in a "sniper" role often has a "spotter"... the recoil action of the rifle might throw the sniper's viewing window way off and require him to have to re-aim all over again the for next shot, but the spotter has an unaffected view of where the last shot landed to help the sniper recalculate the next shot.

With the picked carrots as well yum

There are three main types of healthcare coverage. The simpler one is the “out of pocket” model (think USA), in this system you get what you pay for. In nations where this type of model is used people usually can’t afford to get private health insurances and there is no universal healthcare. The second one, Bismarck Model, originated in Germany in 1883, healthcare was seen as an universal right, but the coverage wasn’t universal, since it was based on employment and subsequent taxation (later laws and regulations were made for those who couldn’t work, for example people affected by disabilities). The third one, and the one considered truly universal, is the Beveridge Model, installed in the UK in 1948, and in which universal coverage is provided by the government, this coverage comes from income tax payments, but every citizen receives it, regardless of employment status. (This is just a résumé, but the main points are there)

67 there not? Why?

Because pickles take less time to say? “Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick” - Kevin Malone

They are. If you say pickles in the UK, you're usually referring to pickled onions, everything else is pickled ....... pickled eggs. Still pickled eggs etc.

Hey, a weird bot.

Hey at least we don’t call them gherkins….

That was the Parthenon

I have picked beets, carrots, beans, and onions in my fridge as well. Those are all fairly common in the part of Canada where I live.

I feel like pickled onions are super popular.

Can you pickle me, Greg?

I believe in russian mashed potatoes are just called puree instead of pureed potatoes.

Probably because pickles and potatoes are the food that's most commonly prepared in that way in those regions. The style has become the shorthand.

There are sour gherkins too. I agree they are usually sweet, just sharing because they're awesome if you can find them!

Why is ketchup not called tomato sauce?
