Google listicles are not research. > why do people drink mocktails Because they taste good. Does this gel taste good? Probably not. It is fundamentally unpleasant, pointless, and strange. It solves a problem that has better solutions eve

They gonna be insulted if you whip out this crap after. At a certain point you are just better turning the drink down.

If what you're saying is true, bars should sell just as much fruit juice as they do booze. If it's true, then no one should mind being the designated driver. I don't know if you've ever been out for drinks, but the reaso

I don't know anyone who drinks without the intention of getting drunk, but suppose there was someone, that person could just buy alcohol-free drinks. The same way that I'm sure you would buy lactose-free milk if it was available b

I don't think this would help anyone with an alcahol allergy, since you are still consuming alcahol.

You can have a few drinks and not get drunk because the alcohol is broken down before it reaches your blood. In other words you can have a couple of alcahol-free drinks where the alcahol is removed from your stomach by strange gel product.

You are so sarcastic here it is impossible to glean any genuine critique of my position. If this stuff catches on and in 10 years we're all eating strange chemical gel after a round of drinks, I'll hand it to you. I just don'

Alcohol-free drinks already exist. They're a much easier sell than alcoholic drinks + some weird gel.

You can achieve a similar effect with a two instruction program where each one copies the other two forwards. In fact you can submit it exactly if you use with the bit encoding of instructions to construct the program in memory.

I refer to all the chan sites and many other sites in the same style. Reddit and HN are not image boards. HN doesn't even have images. They are link/content aggregators.

Most imageboards will show you the post if you hover over a link to it. This technology is decades old.

They probably aren't a problem, but they might be. I can see there potentially being some graph theory optimisations on the server side you can do if you know you're dealing with a DAG. > And your DAG ends up A'->B->

Having tried the demo, I can now say that it is a very confusing way to lay out content.

For the verbal phenomenon, I think that is just a symptom of human brain function. Only a small amount of processing is conscious verbalisation, so you will need to talk about new things while your subconscious processes other ones. As for

This is easy to solve by representing edits as amendments. Each edit forms a new "reply" node in the graph with the amended content.

As much as they have a bad reputation, I think the image board style of comments is the best for these kinds of discussions. Each post has a unique ID, and you can insert links to other posts in the text of your post. Then each post is give

> Same amount of correctness. Because a currency symbol is less correct (think $) and isn't as recognisable. Flags have colours that make them easier to pick out, and can be displayed at much smaller resolutions.

How can this work without a a server? You surely need a third party to traverse NAT.

Counterpoint to this website: it is convenient to have symbols to represent things. I don't see them suggesting anything better than flags.

I can't explain it, but there's something oddly unnerving about seeing the stock GTK widgets in a piece of software like a CAD or video editor.

When a hacker chooses to attack something, that isn't random. They had to look at a lot of different pieces of software, and decide which would be the best to attack. The choice in this case was Systemd. In other words, if you are look

I wouldn't be affected regardless, because SSH doesn't depend on my init system.
