Intel Not Considering UK Chip Factory After Brexit

Intel not considering UK chip factory after Brexit:

The boss of Intel says the US chipmaker is no longer considering building a factory in the UK because of Brexit.

Pat Gelsinger told the BBC that before the UK left the EU, the country "would have been a site that we would have considered".

[...] Intel wants to boost its output amid a global chip shortage that has hit the supply of cars and other goods.

[...] "I have no idea whether we would have had a superior site from the UK," he said. "But we now have about 70 proposals for sites across Europe from maybe 10 different countries.

UK Public Now Eating Significantly Less Meat

UK public now eating significantly less meat:

[...] The new study, published in the journal the Lancet Planetary Health, revealed that while most people are eating less red and processed meat compared to a decade ago, they are eating more white meat.

High consumption of red and processed meat can increase the risk of health problems including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even certain cancers.

Meat production also has a higher environmental impact - producing more planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions - than other types of agriculture and food production.

    But "cookie" and "biscuit" aren't "the same name". That's my point. There are 2 words for 2 different things.

    Latinate? Well let's break it down - it's "Latin" plus "-ate". The former's obvious, and the latter is found as a way of turning any number of nouns into the concept of being related to that noun - it's very versatile: caliph->caliphate(n), asphyxia->asphyxiate(vt), latin->latinate(adj).

    Anyway, with a latin-based view, let's examine "biscuit":

    You're already familiar with "bi-", I'm sure, but this case is its less-seen runt twin, "bis-", again implying two-ness.
    But what about "cuit" - doesn't say anything? Yeah, because it's not common, in all probability the only word you know starting "cui-" is "cuisine".
    So, stick them together, and what have got? Twice cooked.

    It's as simple as that. Biscuits, traditionally cooked twice, are dry and brittle, which contrasts against cookies that are moist and yielding.
