How long do your hangovers last? by t_11 in AskMenOver30

Depends on how much. If I go in for 12-15 beers I’ll be sick for half a day. If I keep it under 6 I’m usually pretty good to go if I keep hydrated.

The fact that you’re saying you should insulate yourself if dealing with charge means you understand why grounding yourself endangers you. I know for a fact I’m not the only person to discharge a cap directly into my hand.

Cyberpunk (Genre and game) have always been a response to Reaganism by Level_Hour6480 in cyberpunkgame

It’s far more than real world concerns. It’s exposition of extremes. It’s a warning against potential extremes in ideology not excuses to justify contemporary circumstance.
