TIL there's a lot more care about BW3 than I ever knew existed.

...And Weck. The hell is a weck?
Weck is the southern German word for roll. My Wife maintains that it's a northern German thing and the proper word is semmel, but that's probably Bavarian
As a Bavarian (mainly Franconian, but some consider us Bavarian anyway) myself, we say "Semmel" back home when referring to rolls. Nothing like a fresh Lachssemmel when you're at the "Kerwa".
I don't consider a Kummelweck (otherwise known as the Kaiser roll) to be a "Semmel" in the traditional sense, but even then I've always called it a "Kaisersemmel" as opposed to a "Weck".
TIL that the fuel tank on the motorhome is empty a couple degrees before the needle is actually on the empty mark on the gauge.
TIL that sometimes you can see when the Google Map Car Driver has gone on break for a bit, because it goes from early afternoon to late afternoon in one click on the same road.

Looking at the trees, I think that was about a 3-6 month break.
TIL you're not allowed to start a racecar before 9am at Phillip Island because the penguins will get upset.

With enough soy sauce, anything is possible.

You're right. I was just looking at the ambient light and the red pickup at the Ford dealership, but it does seem like more time has passed. I guess that red pickup at the Ford place is a program truck or something.
TIL that there is a TIL Youtube channel

That's one of my favorite things on YouTube!
TIL that while all the normal Camaros received the facelift in 2019 (and then the minor re-facelift in 2020) the Camaro ZL1 still uses the 2015-2018 front fascia but with the 2019-2020 taillights, which is the perfect combination in my mind.
It's apparently pronounced hot jar-din-NAIR-uh. As in, "I'd like hot giardiniera on my pizza, please."
TIL that Bruce Campbell was in a made for TV Herbie movie in 1997. I found it on YouTube and am watching it right now. The villain is played by the idiot brother from the Mummy movies. It is delightfully awful.
TIL there is a little kids show on Netflix called Little Baby Bum. I yearn for the days of Barney the Dinosaur.

I’m conflicted on giardiniera on pizza. I feel like it is too much going on, but I do enjoy it. Better on Italian Beef and better yet on a combo.

Giardiniera by itself is disgusting. But a little bit chopped up and added to an Italian hoagie is delicious.

I’m thinking there is some regional differences at play here - I’ve never heard of any not chopped up, and I’ve never heard of it as anything but a condiment. This is what it is in Chicago:

Louisiana style seems to involve much bigger chunks in a more vinegary, less oily base, and without the spiciness. Basically, pickled cauliflower and carrot mix.
I like that, and I like Chicago style.
I don't do meat, but if I see a vegan option for Italian beef, I'm ordering it.
In reply to mtn :
Yeah, there's a version with basically the same stuff except in much larger chunks. You're supposed to eat it as an appetizer with cheese, crackers, cruditee, etc. Like you would good olives. Straight up like that it's nasty.
But the chopped up condiment version is not bad on the right kind of sandwich.
TIL that Oldsmobile's companion brand was called Viking. I knew that Cadillac's was LaSalle, Oakland's was Pontiac (making Pontiac the only companion brand to outlive it's parent company) and Buick's was Marquette, but I did not know what Oldsmobile's was called. I've seen LaSalles and Oaklands, never seen a Marquette or a Viking (not surprising considering both brands were only made in '29 and '30). And Chevrolet didn't get a companion brand.
This stuff exists and is legit:
Lost an argument with a spade drill bit last night. Not a deep wound, but a gnarly one. Still leaking this morning, so I bought this stuff. Pour it on, press it into the wound for 30 seconds and instant scab. Thumb still hurts and will for days, but now at least I only need a bandaid instead of a taped on ball of gauze. This stuff is going in my toolbox next to the superglue.
