Black Friday is not for another week, eggdweather. It's the day after Thanksgiving.
I know, there are too many American customs being imported for my liking. You can't buy a proper British cupcake here any more.Thanksgiving in London? I'm confused.

The word "petard," we note with a grin, comes from the Middle French peter, which derives in turn from the Latin peditum — the sense of which is "to break wind."

There are probably enough sensors available now (temperature / humidity / colour / acidity? ) to start analysing beer? Perhaps there are some others that can be adapted for taste / aroma?Glad to see there is humor among this collection of technical mind warping intellectuals.. As for beer, lets write a PicAxe program to qualify the beers. Wait, quality is dependent on the users learned taste which often is regional, so that's not going to work.
In the U.S., the big sales day after Thanksgiving (so the Friday after the 4th Thursday of the month), when retailers hope to have their books go "in the black" after having been in the red all year.I have no idea what or when "Black Friday" is. I guess it is American?
Specifically, the 4th Thursday in November each year. Thanksgiving is another of our commercial holidays where we elevate some group (in this case Pilgrims) so we have another excuse to eat too much and buy more products. Mostly so we buy more products.In the U.S., the big sales day after Thanksgiving (so the Friday after the 4th Thursday of the month), when retailers hope to have their books go "in the black" after having been in the red all year.
