    Jesus's middle name is Hume! Caution: Some NSFW images within!

    Imagine if humans could spray. The world would be much more polite, and whole classes of pranks wouldn't exist. Jump scares in movies wouldn't be a thing.

    What first world problem did you have today?

    That's what I thought. Chamomile kind of tastes like apple flavored dirt by itself.

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    On that note, I used to make peppermint water by adding peppermint extract to water. No sugar or corn syrup, but it makes an interesting and cheap diversion from plain tap water. I should do that again. Maybe later tonight.

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    The problem is it comes out of a nozzle that hosted something with flavor, so it tastes like shit. It would be a good option if it had a dedicated nozzle.

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    Not sure I'd blame it on laziness. More like "getting a good deal". Twice as much for the same price is objectively more stuff. It's a trap I tend to fall in, and would with soda if I still drank a lot of soda. Now, I'm more likely to refuse the drink altogether, but it really bugs me to do so...

    I can appreciate that, and I'm wired that way myself, but consider you're paying to actively make yourself unhappy. The money's spent regardless. Too late now, but it might've worked better as an iced tea, or a flavoring agent for something else.

    Timing Belt Calculations -- To Stave Off Disaster On The 1995 Trooper LS

    All things being equal, and starting from new, I estimate you can safely add 50% to to the replacement time, then round to 100k cause why the fuck not? For your specific case, I don't think waiting's unreasonable. There's no guarantees in life, so it could break tomorrow, but I don't think it...

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    Depends. I just got an Italian loaf from aldi that has 1g sugar/serving, and not all of that was added. Baseline US foods are highly sugared, and they're also cheap. That affects poor people more than those with money, cause the dollarstores carry all the sugared stuff. Tick the quality level up...

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    I don't know what you're saying. Sounded like the person I said was smart was really a dumbass, because the acid required to covert the HFCS was in the gut. That's not the implication. Soda's acidic; highly so. The implication is the bottle of HFCS coke you're drinking is chemically...

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    The point is soda is acidic. It's in an acid solution sitting in the bottle. Has nothing to do with the digestive system.

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    Correlation ≠ causation. I bet that graph closely correlates with the war on fat, and the increased amounts of sugar used to take the place of fat. But again, it needs a closer look. Elsewhere, someone that sounded smart, said HFCS breaks down to exactly the same chemical makeup as sucrose in...

    "Hey Google" A Few Questions About It

    I've read stuff like that before. If true, I think it points more towards shitware people install(like facebook) than core android/ios functionality, though they could facilitate it I guess. I don't get ads on my stock manufacturer roms. Previously samsung, and now motorola. If I can access...

    Pointless Disconnected Blabs, Ramblings and Utterances

    After you said something, I looked over Muse's post again, and thought "yup". The 1952 shot is way too crisp to my eye. Nice story though.

    What first world problem did you have today?

    I like hot stuff, even extreme hot, but I prefer it mellower for eating raw. I have some hot sauces that could strip paint, but my favorite is habanero. Nice and fruity with good heat that's easy to control.
