In some situations, we use "o" for the number 0. Been hunting around for a reason but I think it's just an abbreviation of zero.

Oh damn, didn't know he'd written more than the original 3. I absolutely adored Garth Nix when I was younger, the keys to the kingdom series too. Might have to revisit and add the last two abhorsen books to the collection.
Fun fact, there's around 2% of people that don't produce smell when they sweat. The smell comes from bacteria that eat a certain chemical in sweat, and the folks don't produce it, i.e. no bacteria or smell.
I refreshed filter lists in ublock once, business as usual since then.
For trebuchets at least, they were only siege weapons, took a long time to both assemble and fire. Though I must concede they were better than melee weapons for knocking down walls.
I think the BEUC reaction came from the product itself not being carbon neutral. Apple paid for credits to "offset" the carbon released in production, but that carbon is still released in production. Also where they invested to get said credits is a timber plantation for making pulp, not a great carbon capture project.
To return to simile, it's like labeling a product as non-toxic because the toxins only release after a few years.
Cried a lot, called my mates, ingested hideous cocktail of substances, then stayed in bed for a week ordering food in and watching the entirety of game of thrones.
Huh, I don't think I've ever seen writing in a dream.
