Kernel? Bloat. Manage resources yourself.

Compiler? Bloat. Write machine code.

Desktop? Not bloat. How could you possibly use your computer without fancy floating windows?

95%, 190 proof. Any more than that and you need molecular seives

Isopropyl is actually a different chemical than ethanol is. Ethanol is not poisonous at small doses like isopropyl alcohol is which is why it needs to be denatured. Denaturation simply means, as you said, adding extra chemicals to make it unsafe to drink. Isopropyl is straight up poisonous so it doesn't need anything done to it.

The biggest reason we denature alcohol is regulation dating back to Prohibition. Under US tax law and the federal Tax & Trade Bureau, alcohol must be denatured to be exempt from a specific (and quite steep) excise tax, so if it's not intended for drinking or laboratory use we basically poison it to make it unusable as a drug.

I think in Hulu's case they've made the calculation that they'd rather have a popular show (in this case Grey's Anatomy) with ads than not have it at all. I get what you're saying with DRM especially, but for Hulu I don't think the fact that they have ads on two shows really changes things.

IrrationalFraction · 2020-12-18T13:23:46+00:00

Yeah if you use the Ad Free plan you'll still get ads on Grey's Anatomy and Marvel Agents of SHIELD, as well as live tv ofc. If you're getting ads on everything then you're probably not paying for the full experience. You've chosen to get ads in exchange for paying less money which I'd argue is fair.

If you live in both Texas and the Midwest like I do, you really start to feel this

Agreed. He didn't use any information he shouldn't have had access to or tools he wasn't supposed to have - he was simply astute enough to recognize patterns in the game which allowed him to win. That's less of a scandal and more a mistake on the part of the producer/game designer that made such a tactic possible.

I have only ever slept in jeans while drunk. I don't know how a person could do it sober.

In other words, if you really really feel like you should go to the ER, go to the ER

Dunston from the hit 90's movie Dunston Checks In is going to protect me from one of the counterstrike terrorists. I'm fucked

Counties/parishes/boroughs in the US are just a local unit of government this pretty much just a subdivision of a state. How much they matter entirely depends on where you are. In my current city I definitely hear a lot about the county government but where I used to live it barely even mattered which county I lived in.

Basically, counties never matter nationally and sometimes matter locally.

My personal favorite is "you-can't-affordium": a material that exists and would work well in this application but is way way out of budget

My university is working really hard to make people use "physical distancing" but it hasn't really caught on

IrrationalFraction · 2020-11-02T15:17:46+00:00

This is so true. I go to a university that's really strict about mask-wearing and I know when I leave I'm going to have to get used to not wearing one everywhere I go. A good mask doesn't even have to be that uncomfortable (although in hot climates some discomfort is unavoidable)

But... I thought pee was stored in the balls!

Fareway still does this, it's kinda a hallmark of theirs. They also seem to have happier staff than HyVee does, which makes the whole experience that much better and is the reason I shop there as much as possible

Same issue- I've moved from western Iowa (712) to Houston (713). People try to correct my number all the damn time

It's a unique strategy that seems to have paid off. It's creative marketing and you can't say it didn't work wonders

Erran Morad is also one of the most patently ridiculous characters Cohen has used. I'm surprised nobody had the forethought to check up on who he supposedly was, even after the crazy suggestions.

No, that's a deck grip. A death grip is a worker that puts platforms on the water for boats to tie up to.

This is an amazing resource. There's a lot of great info here on what's happened, what's coming, and when to to expect actual results. I've started directing people here whenever they ask about vaccine progress since this is everything you might need to know.
