Can people who “enjoy” a Rum + Coke actually tell?

It’s a slight difference. Pepsi has 40.9g of sugar for a 375mL serving size, and Coke is 39.8g for the same.

That said, Coke is actually a very complex drink. Which is readily apparent from the various DIY recipes that are floated online. Mixed alcoholic drinks aren’t nearly as complicated as Coke. That “with a bit of flavour” part is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

The Caprica spinoff, you mean? It was really slow for most of the season, suddenly picked up at the end and got really good, and then it was canceled.

Case in point: another Battlestar Galactica reboot is apparently in the works.

IIRC, the original reason was to avoid people making custom parsing directives using comments. Then people did shit like "foo": "[!-- number=5 --]" instead.

CMV: Mono mix of Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” is better.

Some hackers DoS the code. This guy DoS’s the corporate process.

Just as an aside, I’ve noticed “moving the goalposts” is one of new favorite fallacies for people to slap around when they don’t know what they’re talking about.

My opinion has actually shifted as a matter of this debate. It used to be “hell no”. Now it’s “no, but maybe we can in the future if the science is done”. It’s pretty clear that there isn’t much research on this, and the few peer reviewed articles on the subject tend to mention exactly how little has been done. What is there suggests that maybe, possibly, with the right diet and supplements, it could be done in the future.

Don’t make your cat an experiment on this.

Nobody going to admit to being the pigeon? Because that’s me.

I did click it, and read the abstracts. Did you?

One of the abstracts asks if vegan diets can be safe without answering it; the rest of the article is behind a paywall. Another only studies owner reported palatability behaviors (did Fifi come running when the food dish is filled?) that had nothing to do with health. Another says the research on vegan diets is paltry. Another does do owner reported health information, though it isn’t really enough on its own to say vegan diets are healthy for cats.

So no, this does not show any kind of scientific consensus. The evidence is very limited. Perhaps vegan diets for cats will be vindicated in the future, but these studies are insufficient.

Nothing like that. I just offered to get some cheese for a pre-hookup snack.

It’s true. I once gave a woman cheese, and we were fucking within 10 minutes.

We also planned to hookup that night already, but it had to be the cheese.

Broadly, yes. They’re 12 year olds being pushed into unsafe diet and exercise plans, often with very high pressure coming from parents and coaches. The Olympic committee was right to raise the minimum competition age over the last few decades, but this shit still happens.

Tell that to the 12 year old gymnastics competitors I ran into once outside a venue when it was 40 degrees out. They have a very low body fat percentage.

That’s a sport that should probably die off, at least in anything like its current form, along with American Football.

Spreadsheets generally are a useful tool, no matter if it’s Excel, LibreOffice, or Google Sheets. There’s a sweet spot where the data isn’t so complicated that it justifies a full database and programming language.

There is a point, though, where you need to admit the dataset and your manipulations of it have gotten too big. If you were wondering who was excited about the Excel row limit going from 16k to 1M back in 2010, the answer is professors of Economics. This should tell you a lot.

You say that, but have you ever met a Sandhill Crane? They started coming back, and people think they’re wonderful and majestic. Then they get too close, and find out they’re feathery balls of pure hate with pointy beaks that will send you to the emergency room.

Appreciate Sandhills from a distance.

Can I get one of them invites?

If you were asleep for 17 years, you’d need a piss, too.

A password only 8 chars long can still be brute forced, salt or not.

Without salt, the attacker would make a guess, run the hash on the password, and compare it to the stored version.

With salt, the attacker would make a guess, combine it with the salt, and then run the hash and compare like before.

What salt does is prevent a shortcut. The attacker has a big list of passwords and their associated hash values. They grab the hash out of the leaked database, compare it to the list, and match it to the original plaintext. When the hashes have a salt, they would need to generate the list for every possible salt value. For a sufficiently long salt that’s unique to each password entry, that list would be infeasible to generate, and infeasible to store even if you could.

If your passwords were long and random enough, then it’s also infeasible to generate that list to cover everything. It really only works against dictionary words and variations (like “P4ssw0rD”).
