Bilo is a nickname commonly used in reference to Pete Doherty, often paired with the nickname Biggles, which refers to Carlos Barat. It is typically used in a familiar or informal context.

RE: Latency
In computing, latency describes some type of delay. It typically refers to delays in transmitting or processing data, which can be caused by a wide variety of reasons. Two examples of latency are network latency and disk latency, which are explained below.
Network latency
Network latency describes a delay that takes place during communication over a network (including the Internet). For example, a slow router may cause a delay of a few milliseconds when one system on a LAN tries to connect to another through the router. A more noticeable delay may happen if two computers from different continents are communicating over the Internet. There may be a delay in simply establishing the connection because of the distance and number of hops involved in making the connection. The ping response time is a good indicator of the latency in this situation.
Disk latency
Disk latency is the delay between the time data is requested from a storage device and when the data starts being returned. Factors that effect disk latency include the rotational latency (of a hard drive) and the seek time. A hard drive with a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, for example, will have almost twice the rotational latency of a drive that rotates at 10,000 RPM. The seek time, which involves the physical movement of the drive head to read or write data, can also increase latency. Disk latency is why reading or writing large numbers of files is typically much slower than reading or writing a single contiguous file. Since SSDs do not rotate like traditional HDDs, they have much lower latency.
Many of other types of latency exist, such as RAM latency (a.k.a. CAS latency), CPU latency, audio latency, and video latency. The common thread between all of these is some type of bottleneck that results in a delay. In the computing world, these delays are usually only a few milliseconds, but they can add up to create noticeable slowdowns in performance.
NOTE: It is important to not confuse latency with other measurements like data transfer rate or bandwidth. Latency refers to the delay before the data transfer starts rather than the speed of the transfer itself.

RE: parts department
A parts department is a section within a company, typically within the automotive, appliance, machinery, or technology industries, that is responsible for the inventory, sales, and distribution of spare and replacement parts. This department often interacts with customers and service teams to ensure the availability and delivery of needed parts, aiding in the repair and maintenance of products sold by the company.

RE: banana boat
A banana boat, often simply referred to as a banana, is a type of unpowered watercraft that passengers can ride for recreational use. It is inflatable and typically yellow and large enough to seat several people. Its shape is similar to that of a banana, hence its name. The boat is usually towed by a speedboat, and riders use it for fun and thrill rather than for transportation.

RE: Expire
To expire generally means to come to an end or cease to be valid after a certain period. This term is often used in relation to contracts, agreements, subscriptions, licenses, or perishable items like food and medicine which have a specific expiry date after which they should not be used or consumed.

RE: genus parrotiopsis
Genus Parrotiopsis is a classification of small deciduous shrubs or trees, the family Hamamelidaceae, native to the western Himalayas. This genus is often known for its spring bloom of small, white, fragrant flowers and its colorful autumn foliage. The genus is small and consists of only one to three species, depending on the particular botanical interpretation.

RE: seashell
A seashell or sea shell, also known simply as a shell, is a hard, protective outer layer usually created by an animal or organism that lives in the sea. The shell is part of the body of the animal. Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches by beachcombers. The shells are empty because the animal has died and the soft parts have decomposed or been eaten by another animal.
A seashell is usually the exoskeleton of an invertebrate (an animal without a backbone), and is typically composed of calcium carbonate or chitin. Most shells that are found on beaches are the shells of marine mollusks, partly because these shells are usually made of calcium carbonate, and endure better than shells made of chitin.
Apart from mollusk shells, other shells that can be found on beaches are those of barnacles, horseshoe crabs and brachiopods. Marine annelid worms in the family Serpulidae create shells which are tubes made of calcium carbonate cemented onto other surfaces. The shells of sea urchins are called tests, and the moulted shells of crabs and lobsters are exuviae. While most seashells are external, some cephalopods have internal shells.
Seashells have been used by humans for many different purposes throughout history and prehistory. However, seashells are not the only kind of shells; in various habitats, there are shells from freshwater animals such as freshwater mussels and freshwater snails, and shells of land snails. -
RE: spoilage
Spoilage refers to the process of natural decay or deterioration in quality, condition, or usability of a substance especially in food products, making them unfit for consumption or use. It can be caused by factors such as bacteria, molds, yeasts, air, light, temperature, and humidity. In business terms, it can also refer to products or goods that have become damaged or defective during manufacturing or storage.
