    I have a fine grater that allows grating from both sides. I mainly use it for garlic & ginger, and can confirm that it is the most efficient grater I've ever used

      @@JakeKilka Looking online it seems like you have 2 main designs.
      1 - Both directions use the same hole. Basically you just had a hoop that you can access from either side. Look fragile and a hard cheese of carrot might just mangle it.
      2 - One set of holes pointing up, the second down. But they are aligned vertically so taht the gouge you grate out is them filled by the second pointing in the opposite direction hole below it.
      the building design might not really work as the reverse direction holes would lift the cheese up like a ramp.

    FYI: "A" streets are just in one country, while "E" streets are stretching all across europe and even asia. So "A" Streets can also be "E" streets, its just the Europe-wide naming instead of national naming
    For example the E35 you mentioned starts in Amsterdam and goes all the way to Rome, and it consists of several different national streets, like the German A3 and A5, the Swiss A2 and the Italian A50 and A1

      It is more than that. The UN (UNECE) had the initiative to roll out a network of continental highways. That became the E roads in Europe, but the Pan-American Higway is another example. However, there is more: some countries use the E number on the roadsigns and other don't. North-south routes have odd numbers; east-west routes have even numbers. Branches have 3 digit E numbers. There is more, but my point is that reading up on road numbers can be a tool for geoguessr.

    A couple of notes on the last round: 1708 is not a year, it's the number for the address of the hospital. Also, St. Francis is the Catholic saint of basically everything that's good, so you will find buildings named after him in every city in the US and probably Canada as well. The Fedex truck was the saving clue on that round.

    • @jameswoodish

      They demolished the back part of it. The tower will be stripped down and get a glass exteriour.
      The canal and the locks are new. The old canals in Gent were filled to make parking for cars. Recently they started opening them again, but ten years ago there was no canal.
      The references to Spain are funny. The Spaniards' Castle is located across the water where the canal starts. It is now demolished, but the Spanish periode is still very important for Gent. After a rebelion against the Spanish citizens of Gent were forced to parade with a hangman's noose. Until today the noose is still a proud symbol for citizens born in Gent. I guess some Spanish influence is still present in Gent and it shows?

    I can think of a couple of reasons not to make a cheese grater like that, Tom. Namely, it's the same amount grated, but more total effort, since each stroke is a grating stroke, rather than a grating stroke followed by rest stroke. Also, I figure it's easier to manufacture a grater where they all face the same way. But what do I know, I guess a double grater might be slightly faster, and if you don't need to grate much, it might be good.

    being from quebec, just realised most of our infrastructure was done during a certain period of time, especially close to grande-allée in quebec city where there is governement buildings (we call one the calorifere) and banks (banque nationale) and hotels (concorde) that are all made out of pure concrete. to this i might add the complexe G. anyways, interesting vid as always

    Excellent Belgium meta tip for next time: At 5:15, whenever you see a medieval looking tower with an onion-shaped spire roof on top of it, you can be 95% confident that you're in Flanders, Belgium. That is a very typical late-medieval Flemish architectural tower roof.

    How would you clean a 2-way cheese grater? With a normal one, you can use your brush or sponge in one direction to clean it, but for the 2-way you'd grate them instead.

  • @cowmega

    Qualified maths-ma-tish-on here I promise. I can confirm that if cheese graters were designed in this way you would infact double your cheese gains. So if you grated a 500g block you would infact get 1kg of grated cheddar for your efforts. You're Welcome.

    • @alihms
      @alihms ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup. The math checks up. Each 500gm yields 1 kg of cheese with this grater.

    The hospital in Tacoma was designed by the great Chicago architect Bertrand Goldberg, who designed a lot of iconic buildings in the city (Marina Towers (seen on the cover of Wilco's "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot album), River City, the now-razed Prentice Woman's Hospital). I absolutely adore his work and I recommend you check some of them out.

    Not to mention, that the first building wasn't even there anymore. It's almost completely demolished now
