I definitely listened to it more often than to the MJ version.

FYI, it doesn’t explain why rum is often sweet. That is explained by rum makers adding sugar after distillation.

Alcoholic drinks also contain fusel alcohol. IME it makes a big difference if you pick e.g. a somewhat high quality lager beer over a really cheap beer, and the fusel alcohol content should be the main difference between those if the amount and ABV is roughly similar.

Other than that, hydration is probably the most important thing. I assume it’s easier to get dehydrated when you’re drinking shots of spirits vs. drinking light beer.

Good point.

I want to point out that vodka is usually made from grains, not potatoes. And I’d honestly be surprised if there’s enough non-alcohol substances left in a given vodka to trigger someone’s food sensitivities - I’d assume it’s one of the additives (especially common in Russian vodka), not the plant it’s made from.

Also, if you’re allergic/sensitive to wheat or potatoes, you should notice that in food way before you notice it while drinking.

Cheap beer or cheap sweet wine.

Seems like a very US- and Xitter-/Facebook-centric phenomenon. I still don’t even know what sport the “Eagles” play, I have never heard of any of the people mentioned in the article and since I very rarely watch videos on my social media feeds my risk of learning a Philly accent seems rather low.

Fascists and wealth hoarders.

I think there’s also an issue that many people got radicalized through internet rabbitholes and the like in recent years. I assume you need to already have some compatible views, but there’s a big difference between “a bit racist” and “full on nazi”. It’s a matter of which tendencies get reinforced and what biased information you’re being fed - many of those people who were a bit racist 15 years ago could have went the completely opposite direction if they had been fed different content.

I’ve never seen ‘twice’ used like that, do you have a link to back that up? If I search “twice more” on the web, I get zero results.

So like … how private is a holodeck? If the answer is “very”, I’m definitely going with sexual fantasies.

To me, the most astounding part of this is that the state is ruled by the CDU, Germany’s big conservative party. It has often been said that the state’s CDU leader, Daniel Günther, is in the wrong party - Germany’s chancellor, who is also a CDU member, has completely opposite positions on many issues.

What was the source of that energy loss? Just the wiring or something?

I tested most of my devices with a wattmeter. Definitely not true for me. But I live in Germany and don’t even own a TV, it’s possible that it’s true for other types of devices or that the devices that are sold in my country just have higher standards than devices sold in the US.

In the UK she was lower middle class.

Did she speak RP tho? Or is this so nuanced in the UK that everyone can tell when you try to speak RP but come from a lower middle class family?

Isn’t that already how it works in the UK, for RP? Which is probably the “British accent” that most non-Brits are thinking of, anyway.

But … that exasperates so many issues that cars already cause. Like noise pollution, street maintenance costs (IDK maybe cobblestone lasts longer, but it’s for sure expensive to change a street into cobblestone vs. leaving it as-is), it compromises road safety for people who will drive fast anyway, and on streets that are too narrow for separate bike lanes they compromise bike safety (if we assume that cars start driving slow enough that it’s reasonably safe to ride a bicycle on that streets).

Sure, speed bumps are better solutions that cobblestone?

The electronic solutions are definitely shit shows. They’re probably going to try and use them to enforce it, anyway. If nothing else, it’s cheaper than building speedbumps etc. everywhere.
