Doubt if you'd want to ingest it. It's a saccharin-based animal feed enhancer. URL: http://alliednutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/AN-Suc...

I've seen that too. But unlike Starbucks which limits simmering time on a hot plate to less than 45 minutes at Dunkin Donuts and local dives you may get a cup of java that has been cooking for hours and tastes like battery acid. Hence

BTW at least saccharine and ace-k are already known to be carcinogenic AFAIK It would appear that the US FDA and European FSA disagree with you on that subject. Concerning saccharin: In a December 14, 2010 release, the EPA stated that sa

Part of the plot. See The Super Rich of Silicon Valley Have a Doomsday Escape Plan in Bloomberg online from a month ago. After all, they have their underground NZ bunkers and everyone else should just go away. /s (just kidding)

Funny how 'front-loading' can shape expectations. You read the story which shaped a mental image. If you knew Japanese you'd recognize 'midori' (green, possibly ivy-covered) and 'so' (cottage, small inn) a

The world has changed. On the one hand you still have FCC 97.315 (on the extra exam) which permits sale of non-certified HF (sub 2M) amplifiers from amateur operators to amateur operators, which serves as a convenient loophole for 'hom

Oh, I don't know about that. In Ekrich's ' At Day's Close: Night in Times Past' [1] seems in pre-industrial age society the norm was 'bi-modal sleep'. First or "deep" or "dead" sleep,

Agree with you there. You may have habituated to TI-89s back at school (still have two) but by today's standards, graphics are super low-res and UI reminds you of trying to manipulate a rubik's cube. And yet it's still a goto

Yeah, interesting that the meanings shifted over time. EG, look at Google Translate (E>L) where apology (E) becomes excusatione (L) with a back translation (L>E) of 'excuse'. Today an apology may or may not come with an excu

Compound that with the fact that plastic-softeners like bisphenols, et al, were used without knowledge of their long physiological effects. Who knows what impact that will have have on general health in the long run.

Question: did you ever look into the work of Joseph Pompei over at Holosonics? His intent was to confine 3D audio into a narrow cylinder, virtually inaudible outside the cylinder. From the site: As the ultrasonic beam travels through the a

Depends. In an Everett (or Steins;Gate) sense, possibly. In a Bohm sense, probably not. :-) But string modeling has to be tested somehow and here you're dealing with essentially VR spaces and forms supervening on a quantum substrate wi

If gung-ho on the subject then why not split the difference and lobby the UN or the powers that be to add half an hour to ST in all time zones and eliminate DST? The only ones who might complain are those in Winter who live north of 40N or
