Not very good. Mario doesn’t have enough rhythm to evoke a lot of musicality. The original game’s sound was tied to the frame rate so this vaguely happened by default. Later ports to PAL broke this because it ran at a slower frame rate.

Alcohol being a diuretic is not a myth. All Alcoholic drinks being enough of a diuretic to dehydrate you is. A small beer that is less than 1% is definitely not going to net dehydrate you. The alcohol is still a diuretic, but it does not of

I don’t think that’s likely to be true. Many of these beverages were made strong but then diluted with regular water that had not been boiled.

If you’re referring to the fact that alcohol is a diuretic, then just say that. that’s basically a myth in the popular understanding. A drink has to be fairly strong to dehydrate you. A beer will probably hydrate you. But it might vary by p

It still boils down to dumping. This is a hard problem. You don’t want the global markets determining that you have a competitive disadvantage relative to peers and thus want to import all of your food and abandon your domestic production.

It’s not snobby to buy food that isn’t produced by the largest, most evil food corps in the world. It has relatively little to do with Europe either. Go for Tony’s imo.
