  • Yeah there’s no confusion in French because “étage” literally means “floor above ground”, so calling the ground floor an “étage” makes no sense. It’s called “rez-de-chaussée” (“at street level”) or RDC for short. Same as “sous-sol” (“under-ground”).

    French UK English US English
    Nème étage Nth floor N+1th floor
    3e étage 3rd floor 4th floor
    2e étage 2nd floor 3rd floor
    1er étage 1st floor 2nd floor
    RDC Ground floor 1st floor — Street level —
    1er sous-sol -1 floor -1 floor
    2e sous-sol -2 floor -2 floor
    Nème sous-sol -N floor -N floor

    Well, it’s simple.

    Solomon Epstein discovered a way to make fusion drives orders of magnitude more efficient. Unfortunately, he grossly underestimated how much more powerful his new drive would be, and died testing it while sustaining more than 11G for 37h, yeeting his own corpse in deep interstellar space.

    Fortunately, his files were recovered by his widow, who sold them to the secessionist Martian Colony government, who in turn sold them to the UN in exchange for independence. Earth and Mars developed the engine design so ships could move much farther and quicker than had been possible before, enabling a new gold rush in the outer Solar system and especially the Belt.

    And that’s why the Epstein Files were so important.



  • To be fair, it only happened to me once in the 7 years I’ve been brewing, and may have been due to a combination of factors: lack of experience, extreme carbonation, probably an infected bottle, maybe a weakened bottle. Even the other, intact bottles from that batch were massive gushers. It was also the first time I added fruit to a brew, so fruit particles contributed to the whole fiasco. The taste was fantastic tho.

    I’d say, if you check that your fermentation is truly done before bottling, your priming is sensible and your bottles are squeaky clean and thoroughly disinfected, there shouldn’t be any risks.
