Between them, I find the flavor of the Zero more palatable. Regardless, I cannot drink any version of it because of the phosphoric acid. No Coca Cola for me anymore. Sometimes I make myself feel better by thinking I could drink Pepsi instead, but then I remember it is Pepsi and ughh Pepsi.

And the early 80's microcomputer race to the bottom. Didn't go well for any of the companies involved. It got prices as low as $99. The only survivors were Tandy -by making the switch to clone IBM PCs-, TI -which retreated completely from PCs- and a dying Commodore -that got a lifeline in the...

They only made Coke Zero because Diet Coke had been marketed so hard towards women that men refused to drink it. Not a problem until men started to be health conscious and Coca-Cola couldn't sell them their existing sugar free drink, so they made a new one and made it "manly".

There's a funny story behind the 4004. The chip was created for a contract with a Japanese calculator company. When the engineer sent to oversee the advances -Shima Masatoshi- arrived at Intel, he found they had done basically nothing in the last few months. He was very pissed and began yelling...

Not necessarily, technology development isn't linear nor steady. Right now we are at peak "gold rush" stage of the cycle. Investor money is subsidizing the development and the operation of the AI models. Outside of very specific applications, no real "killer app" use has materialized to justify...

These few weeks the same meme question has been circulating through Spanish language Reddit (and maybe Facebook). The meme basically asks the reader to choose in a thought experiment between a)$10,000,000 in cash, and b)restarting your life at 6 with your current knowledge. While a few people...

IMO, solo gaming is play pretend with extra steps.

Finding enough people interested im roleplaying at all and with enough overlapping free time can be very very hard.

These last two weeks I learned about scissor flats. Apartments that exist in more than one floor in the building in a spiral arrangement. One appartment starts down and moves up, and the other starts up and moved down. They have a lot of benefits as they allow windows to both sides of the...

At least you can coordinate to meet together. This stuff can be like herding cats.

Well, it's important.

Well, why do you think they became bards?

Half of Kpop is gibberish to the average listener anyway.

I've been learning how to bake with oats instead of wheat for this reason. My next step is trying to use it with yeast. I can also replace eggs, milk and butter, though not all at once.

I understood it more like he used it to make an analysis of common lyrics and metaphors in Kpop hits so that Soda Pop sounded deliberately formulaic and cliched.

I like to cook for my friends, so it's natural I ask for allergies and food restrictions after growing up with my Dad and one sibling having restrictions. And then the kid in my life got hit with lots of allergies. Thankfully nobody in my friend group is picky.

It'd be good if it wss my game they were shilling for. But it remains unwritten so far...

Keep around some cooked staples like rice and beans and fresh ingredients like panela cheese and avocado.
