The guy that initially commented on it being sour was talking about Czech beers and using Euros so I assumed they were European and English might not be their first language. Their language may not have the distinction you described. I beli

Dissolved CO2 forms carbonic acid which like most acids has a sour taste. It's not as strong as something like citric or lactic acid but it's certainly present. I personally don't really think of it while drinking carbonated

One thing to note with diatomaceous earth is it works best with an even dusting. You don't want to just spread clumps. Many but not all bags come with a little device for spraying it as a nice fine dust.

For starters, someone making $100k in the mid west probably isn't going to be renting a median 1 bedroom apartment. They probably own a 3+ bedroom house. I bet there aren't many people in San Francisco with 3+ bedroom houses that

Cities and towns sound pretty similar to your steden and dorp. The US can get complicated because every state defines things their own way but generally there are different legal requirements and rights for cities vs towns. In North Carolin

Gotcha. Yeah, I haven't spent much time in Arizona and just took a cursory look at the map. Satellite images definitely show a dry creek bed. In the case of hiking in that arid of regions, being prepared with enough water is incredibly

I'd also like to mention that this guy's situation isn't really related to his phone. He was on trail (albeit the wrong trail) and sounds like he was panicking due to dehydration (he tried drinking his piss) meanwhile he&#x27

There's nothing wrong with smart phone apps for hiking if used correctly. I used to be skeptical of them but had a conversation with a professional guide about them and he sold me. Download the maps so you can use them offline. Have a

Depends on your goals. If you want to travel to and explorer new places on a regular basis, a van can make more sense since you aren't tired to a specific location and can go anywhere driveable at a moments notice. There are certainly

Would they be able to distinguish between a light that is pure orange (a single 600nm wave length) and a light that is a mix of red and yellow that gives humans the perception of orange? If so, I think that's still kind of a cool thing

I'm from the east coast where there is also plenty of poison ivy and found it funny how my brain reacted to this quiz. Every time a picture of poison ivy appeared, I didn't even think about it, I just had an immediate uneasy feeli

For me, it's the WiFi that is completely botched. The status bar will frequently display incorrect statuses and trying to select a network from the status bar hardly ever works. I have to go into system preferences which has a tendency

And that's just humans using antibiotics. Roughly 2/3rds of antibiotics are used for veterinary purposes. But yes, we need to be much more careful with how we use antibiotics than we currently are and I also don't have a good

The whole point of bringing up saline solutions was to point out that what you're describing is already illegal even for much less serious offenses. I'm not a lawyer so don't know what all crimes would be involved with inject

Gotcha. I guess I don't understand why you'd expect that behavior to become more common as a result of drug legalization. All that would still be very illegal (I imagine injecting someone with even a completely safe saline solutio

I thought you were implying companies adding addictive substance to their products in attempt to get people hooked which I thought a regulatory framework would fix. If coke puts cocaine back in their drink, it would require a license to buy

The only problem I see with legalizing all prescription drugs is that a lot of people would use them off label or in inappropriate context (ie taking antibiotics when you have a viral infection). I think this could be managed with an approp

What percent of Americans live in a place where they can just casually go skiing on the weekend? It's an okay option if you live in Denver, Salt Lake City, or Seattle (although even in those cities you'll be spending 1-2 hours sit

Thanks, I just downloaded it and tried it out with the two previously mentioned routes and it gave reasonable results for both of them. It's also nice that it gives you alternative route options in case you don't like what they ch

How are the directions on organic maps and magic earth? I tried OsmAnd and it's directions were awful for me. The first time I used it, was for a drive that Google tells me is 2 hour/100 mile. It initially gave me a route that was

Does factoring in population size really change things that much? 55 billion animals being killed in the US every year divided by the US population of 330 million is 167 animals killed per capita per year. So the average American is paying

I'll agree with you that some teachers really suck. I can think of a few examples I had growing up that fit your description. That being said, we have a real shortage of teachers right now and low pay combined with lack of respect is a

I am a native English speaker and this annoys me as well. 200 times less sounds more impressive than 99.5% less even if it's kind of ambiguous. Same with saying it only needs 1/200th the amount. They want big numbers in the headli

That's really interesting. I guess I was thinking about things from a more clandestine perspective. Having a greenhouse with illegal plants that take 12-16 years to mature is pretty risky. But, in the realm of legal goods, there are ot
