Oh yeah, absolutely!

The alcohol content of beer is insufficient to kill bacteria. A concentration of 10% ABV or higher will temporarily inhibit bacterial growth, but it requires a >70% concentration to be an effective antibacterial agent.

Ayup, there’s no better way to win someone over to your cause than to tell them to fuck off! Hoo boy, alienating fence-sitters sure does increase the number of people who’ll vote for the policies we want, yes-sirree! Whassat you say, you don’t support everything we do wholeheartedly? GET THE FUCK OUT, FILTH, WE DON’T…

So no relation to the Demi-Monde series of sci-fi works by Rod Rees?

After all, the spring harbors beings that are practically eponymous with immortality: mermaids.

The juxtaposition of this with the headline “There’s Something For Everyone In Amazon’s One-Day Logitech Sale” just below it on Kotaku is peak irony.

But... CDs are digital...

No it’s not, that’s why I have a phone from about 2002 which doesn’t support any of that shit. I guess it might still be possible to track me by checking which cellphone towers it’s pinging, but that’s a hell of a lot less precise than GPS.

By “next year”, you mean “the year after next”, I see.

I don’t have a smartphone. Am I not allowed to use Facebook now, or do I literally have to go and buy a camera?

“Turns out food can have a pretty powerful affect.”

No, they’re defined for the benefit of citizens, one assumes. Citizens who would probably quite like it to be possible for that person who shot them to be found.

You don’t see how it’s advantageous to be easily able to locate the owner of a firearm if it’s used in a crime?

Because letting someone who you have no reliable way of locating if they should commit a crime own a deadly weapon is dumb.

The whole MOBA genre did not begin with DOTA.

There’s no such thing as a “tranq gun” that’s safe for use on humans. When you see animals being shot with tranquiliser darts, the amount of drugs involved is specifically pre-calibrated based on a known bodyweight and in many cases the complete medical history of the animal. You can’t just shoot someone with a dart…

Yeah, but they don’t, do they? They want to live and work where it’s cheap, and for reasons (shhh, nobody say “systemic racism”) that tends to be places with a lot of black people. So they move in while things are still cheap, and then it gets trendy, and then prices go up, annnd...

The latter.

Oh, I like that term, “double culture filtration”.

It’s not solid maple, it’s constructed of multiple parts glued together.
