Can you elaborate or link to further reading?

I assumed methanol is the first to go because of its lower boiling point — 65 degrees compared to ethanol at 78

Dude ikr. You have to actively try to make methanol when you’re distilling, like only collecting the foreshots over and over.

And by that point I’d be super easy to tell it’s not regular alcohol because it will smell like nail polish remover and other volatile compounds.

TIL. Thanks.

In Canada, the drinking age is 19 everywhere except Quebec where it’s 18, so in Ottawa 18 year olds just go across the river to buy liquor.

Comstruction:

If you want to build the best building you gotta know every detail about how it’s made, which you can only get close to by hiring competent consultants (i.e.: architects, engineers, etc) Because if you’re not specific about what you want, you can bet your ass you’re getting the cheapest version.

I read that in Alabama (or maybe Mississippi, I can’t recall) you can drink alcohol while driving. You just can’t be above the blood alcohol concentration limit.

If only we could prod decision makers at the big software companies to actually support Linux…

Those fucks are way too greedy though. I mean AutoCAD hasn’t even got any significant feature updates in years let alone support for any platform other than Windows and they still charge insane prices for it just cause they can. And at the end of the day me and everyone at work are all stuck on shitty Windows.

That sounds awesome. I’ll try it out some time.

Do you know about Timberborn? That’s another one that looks cool.

That’s what sucks about Civ (and EU4, HOI4 and the like for that matter) — once you figure out how it works and you start winning it becomes boring in single player.

And then for multiplayer it’s hard to find someone committed to playing for long stretches of time consistently.

IMO games where losing is fun is where it’s at, like Crusader Kings, Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress.

Right? Even from a purely selfish perspective, this is unwarranted and wanton whereas if you go after a company you can make money.

The problem is that despite western countries granting independence to their former colonies, the world order and the global economy is still set up in a colonial way. The global south remains dependent on western support.

I can’t blame some New Caledonians for wanting to remain a part of France. An isolated region like that greatly benefits from the economic support that being part of a larger country provides, even if it comes at the cost of racism.

Plus the insane power consumption for such a marginally useful feature. Especially given that it’s on by default for everyone using google (as I understand)

It’s almost like the feature is not ready but they need to show off to their investors anyway. At the cost of user experience and the environment.

At least with ChatGPT you have to consciously go to their website and use, rather than being the first result of a fucking internet search.

My bad, Reddit is still owned by an American company but Tencent has a large stake in it since 2019, at least enough to influence the platform into complying with pro-CCP censorship and etc

Wow thank you for your super informative comment!

Yeah that’s possible too. It’s all speculation until the Netflix documentary comes out years later lol

It’s possible it was a initially pump and dump that turned into a Saudi funded venture. He’s a useful idiot from the Arabs’ perspective.

Thanks for pointing that out. It’s just so normal to think that way here that they’ve even corrupted me into framing climate change that way. It’s not a left wing topic; it’s a reality.

I just hope young people who are thinking of voting conservative here keep in mind that those assholes literally don’t believe in climate change and by extension science and facts. That alone should automatically disqualify conservatives from anyone’s consideration.

Though it’s only tangentially related to your inquiry, you should check out improvethenews.org

It’s basically what you are looking for but with news stories, though it’s primarily focused American news. It allows you to read the different narratives without actually visiting cancer news sites like Sky news.

This seems like further confirmation of that theory that I saw posted on here that the Saudi oil barons funded Elon’s purchase of Twitter for the sole purpose of destroying it. They want to silence online discussions of climate change and other left wing topics.

Combined with Reddit being owned by Tencent, Facebook being eternally evil, and TikTok being unconducive to any form of coherent dialogue, there are not many places for left wing discourse on the internet anymore.
