Not sure if you're serious, but I'll respond under the assumption that you are. Caps are for emphasis, and are not me yelling at you.

It should go without saying that if someone is too intoxicated to remember an event, they're also too intoxicated to consent.

Alderwood, too.

Not at all silly! And your energy idea is pretty much correct, at least conceptually. Enzymes attach to the molecules they affect at "binding sites", which have a distinct physical shape and electron configuration. Ethanol, which chemically is H-CH2-CH2-OH, "fits" better (meaning the energy configuration is lower…

I don't know for sure, but I can't imagine this is the case anymore - there's an alternative antidote now that doesn't have the intoxicating effect ethanol does.

It's really interesting, right? Antifreeze's toxic ingredient (ethylene glycol) and drinking alcohol (ethanol) are *really* similar chemically, and there's only one enzyme that the body processes them with - Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH). The enzyme prefers ethanol, so as long as you keep literally all of the ADH in…

Either would work - the ethanol is the important part (as you mention in the original comment), so the only difference is that it would take more vodka.

And have you seen cat island?

I thought the same thing! I was seriously wondering if that was computer animation or something.

Probably, though celsius is considered a "derived", rather than basic, metric unit. The metric unit of temperature is Kelvin, where zero is actually absolute zero.

Read them so many times, still crack up every time.

Nothing wrong with this, but unless you fail to pay off a credit card balance at the end of the month, there's no interest that way either.

I live in a city with an extensive, fairly reliable public transportation system, so I also have a "Bus Home" button that searches Google Maps for public transit directions home.

This is exactly what I have on my phone - a "Go Home" button. Useful when somewhere new, or if you followed someone somewhere but are going home from there. Things like that.

Yeah, it wouldn't be the same order of magnitude of egregiousness, true.

It's absurd that the man the annual "Best DH" award is named after isn't in the hall of fame. Akin to not having Cy Young in.

Keep your eyes open for when they play the Nationals - we might get a Colon-Fister matchup.

The number of people that think 50/50 is synonymous with "dichotomous" drives me absolutely insane.
