So this popped up today because a friend of mine (red) commented on this horseshit. I know none of these people except for red, and I'm dark blue. Yeah, I fed into it...



I mean, black and brown can't be serious. I feel like I'm being trolled harder then I've ever been trolled before. People can't be this dumb... Can they?

This isn't why but yes it does have fairly low mobility in the environment.

In the context of DU munitions, the residue settles within 100m of the impact site because of it's weight. Mobility after landing is something separate and I should have been more specific, sorry.

Same people who really want to drink raw milk all the time. It's mostly because pasteurization destroys some of the vitamins in foods due to the heat. The extra little bit of vitamins are obviously worth the chance of horrible sickness!

Not saying that mass-produced beer shouldn't be pasteurized as part of industry standards, but beer is a different case from milk in that it's typically acidic/alcoholic enough to prevent most bacteria.

I've had duplicate accounts add me twice recently. Still can't figure out what the point of the 'scam' is.

I had this happen with a co-worker (Bob); he and his wife were going through a pretty ugly divorce -- one party made a second account of Bob asking everyone to delete the other (I have no idea who had custody of whose accounts, so I don't know who it was), and it was also apparent that they were trying to look for evidence of infidelity (or Bob was incredibly creepy), as one of the Bobs began to hit on: relatives who were attractive, but didn't share the same last name; co-workers; and married women.

I can't believe they would put chemicals like corn syrup and *gasp* GMOS in the literal poison I drink every night! :rolleyes:

My favorite quote from there is this: "Propylene Glycol is controversial, and is said to may be potentially harmful to your health."

It's just the most watered-down warning ever. "I've heard once before that there's a possibility that this could cause some non-specific harm to somebody under some kind of circumstance presumably!"

No, because good guys with guns are easily identified from the bad ones with guns. Your reticule turns green if you hover over them.

Every single one of them is lovely, in part because they use food additives in place of actual fresh ingredients. They use them for the same reason that many junk food companies do, and that is because it is cheap at the cost of taste. They are the frozen dinners of beers.

I'm not talking about any and all possible food additives ever used in all foods, this is about beer specifically. They are only included to water it down. They give the Bud/Miller/Coors companies a fatter bottom line, for no net positive on the consumer's end. It's not about health, it's about quality. Food additives as a whole are not necessarily evil. But they most definitely interfere with the chemical process of beer. There is an extremely noticeable objective difference between cheap beer full of food additives and anything a craft brewer can come up with.

There are about four basic ingredients to beer: malted barley, yeast, hops, and water. When you brew a beer, you heat the barley in water to mash it. This process produces the sugars. When you pitch in yeast, it eats the sugars and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide. When you add other sugars it changes the taste. Just like HFCS and imitation sugar taste like poo poo compared to real sugar, adding them to beer to speed up the process makes the beer taste like poo poo. But it's even worse, since we're talking about the actual chemical processes of producing beer, not just making a cheap alternative to sugar to sweeten foods. Corn and rice make beer cheaper, but taste far crappier.

Every blind test taste of products that have sugar and HFCS varients has resulted in almost everyone not being able to tell the difference. Same with impact it has on the body. If you think HFCS tastes noticeably different than cane sugar its likely just in your head.

I can tell the difference between HFCS and Cane Sugar in soft drinks, but I generally prefer the HFCS ones probably just because I am used to them.

I've had this happen exactly one time and it kind of confuses me. Maybe this is my moment in the autistic sun or whatever but I just told the guy flat out 'you're cluttering up my feed with bullshit and we're not really friends or anything, bye' and that was that.
