Honestly, depending on the particulars of how that type of thing fits into the bigger picture, that could unironically be good?

Physical protests are the most visible form of protest currently, but any way for immunocompromised people and others for whom it's not safe to be out in the crowd to still contribute is probably a good thing.

And I'm sure the internet is clever enough to come up with a way to amplify those voices effectively eventually.

Think of it like your flu shot you already get every year

I respect your grit, lol. I have 200mg caffeine pills but they don't play too nicely with my stomach, so I keep them as a backup. I usually mix soda water with Costco brand energy shots for a comparable amount of caffeine which doesn't cause issues for me for whatever reason.

Depending on how many variables/contexts there are in the lines, that could still be a combinatorial nightmare to record.

I think we more or less agree. The comparison to coffee is valid per volume, but that's not a mental math step you are likely to take if you're not thinking about it very hard.

I kind of get it, but I feel like even in a b2b context you shouldn't be allowed to charge a subscription for something as low level as the OS.

Now if Microsoft wants to offer paid support subscriptions for business customers (they might already do, I didn't look) that I would be fine with.

Of course, businesses would just pivot in the other direction and speed up the release cycle to every year or two, making smaller and smaller improvements. No system will be perfect. I just hope we get to a better solution than "constant vigilance" eventually, whatever it looks like.

OS-as-a-service needs to be made illegal, ffs

It's not entirely flavorless, it has a slightly bitter taste, but generally if you're at the point where you are noticing the taste you are either in severe trouble or you've done something like put a 100mg caffeine pill in plain water.

A "cup" of coffee is typically an 8 oz serving. You need to look at it per volume to make an accurate comparison.

In mg/fl oz:

Coca Cola is 2.8 (Diet Coke 3.8)
Mountain Dew is 4.5
McDonald's drip is 9.1
Red Bull is 9.5
Charged Lemonade is 13
Tim Hortons brewed coffee is 13.5
Chick-Fil-A brewed coffee is 13.6

So, this lemonade isn't actually that far away from comparable drip coffee, however, I am not sure whether the nutrition facts on the 30 oz charged lemonade is going to be inclusive of ice or not. Fountain drinks typically assume a "standard" amount of ice in their calorie projections, or you will see a calorie range on their menu to accommodate the spectrum of "no ice" - "extra ice"; if the 390mg of caffeine that they give for a large charged lemonade is for a 30 fl oz with no ice at all, then a standard amount of ice could bring it down into a more reasonable territory, but...

Yeah it's unfortunately not a very well known fact that drip coffee typically has a MUCH higher caffeine content than e.g. espresso drinks.

4g is 10x the safe daily limit, you are putting yourself in danger well before that.

I would expect it to have caffeine content comparable to soda or tea. This 30 oz drink has about as much caffeine as four 12 oz Red Bulls

edit: It's not even behind the counter?? At least drip coffee, which is one of the only beverages that can exceed the caffeine content at issue here, doesn't come sweet enough by default that it's tempting to have a refill.

Crawford said if Charged Lemonade is going to remain on the menu, it should be less accessible to customers. She said she thought that it should be behind the counter and that it shouldn’t be eligible for refills.
“By virtue of it being part of the Unlimited Sip Club, it’s suggesting to consumers that it’s safe to have more than one,” she said. “And that is a big problem because it’s not safe to have one, let alone more than one.”

I wish I knew it for a more legitimate reason, but ROSE Online burned 'bourgeois' into my brain permanently

Oh, lol, sorry for the sass in that case.

The most important thing I've learned from discussions around this conflict is that about 95% of the chucklefucks involved are not equipped to discuss it and should shut the fuck up, myself included

did you try reading the article?

If you’re sure you used butter at the correct temperature, you may have accidentally ‘warmed’ your butter by mixing it with an electric mixer for too long.

Many cookie recipes start by creaming together the butter and sugar – this is just to combine the ingredients.

If you do this for too long, your room temperature butter will get super warm – and then you’ll face problem 1. all over again.

As in a GeForce MX 130? That's from 2017, which is elderly by computer hardware standards, but I'm not aware of a specific reason why it wouldn't work. It supports DirectX 12, at least

Disappointing to see so many impulsive replies. READ THE ARTICLE folks, it's well-written.

The claim that Democrats are responsible for the House impasse reads to me like an AITA post. So, imagine that the Republicans claiming that the House inability to get any work done is the fault of the Democrats wrote in to AITA. What would the judgment be?
