So apparently lemons are not a naturally occurring fruit, it is bred from the sour orange and the citron. So it's not the product of evolution, but selective breeding.
So life didn't give us lemons.

It is a hybrid of the two but I think it may a natural one.
All the same, life doesn't give us lemons - supermarkets sell them to us at vastly inflated prices.

Good job they're not supplied by Unilever.

Isn't selective breeding part of evolution, too?

Everything is until science decides something else makes more sense.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Well, it's hardly brain surgery[^], is it?

Doesn't work, "an error occurred"

Maybe it's geo-locked? Try this one[^] instead.

Indeed. Rocket destroys a salad whereas a slice of lemon goes very nicely in a G&T.

Yup. You could call it "guided evolution", as it is only missing the random-generator.

Uuuh, that sounds too much like 'intelligent design' to me....

Breeding would be a form of 'intelligent design'. The fact that people did it (not a God) makes one doubt that it could be 'intelligent' mayhaps.. that's why I said guided.

On the other hand, it did give us bacon, so there's that.

"When life gives you lemons",
Buy some bacon instead.

I'm reviewing a third-party system next week. I notice that they use BizTalk for their most of their middleware requirements but it's not something that I've had any involvement with.
If anyone has worked with it, how would you rate it on a scale of "complete PITA" to "couldn't live without it?"
|
|
|
|
|
All I can say is, good luck!
[TBH, my only experience is negative but it may be as much down to the implementation rather than the product itself].
|
|
|
|
|
I'm hoping it was the implementation in question but "BizTalk" is certainly not a word that I hear as often as I used to.

The endpoints are not opposites, wives and girlfriends are perfectly able to stand on both extremes...
