Poe is at best a troll. And her idiocy is increasingly becoming an embarrassing laughing stock amongst her peers... male and female.
So you're illogical on top of being stupid and ignorant? Not surprising.
If I were too young to buy 150 proof booze then I'd be too young to buy alcohol period... powdered or otherwise. So powdered alcohol would enjoy no advantage.
Kill yourself. Your biomass would be better spent feeding hungry bacteria.
I see, so all educated and knowledgable people are respectful and patient with idiots?
Is that your premise?
Seriously?
I'm not sure why people like you are so bad at forming rational thoughts. It could be a weakness in the education system. They don't seem to teach critical thinking or especially understand what it means.
Saying that "all people of knowledge must hold certain cultural tropes" is an obvious logical fallacy. There is nothing inherent in being educated or knowledgeable that would require anyone to be either respectful or tolerant of halfwits.
I love the non-falsifiable arguments from the AC trolls... the cowards are too afraid to use their fake forum names and too afraid to make anything but vague comments that can't be proven or disproven because they're so fucking non-specific that there's no way to logically evaluate them.
Useless to a fucking man.
And on top of that, half of you are sock puppets where in the same guy pretends to be multiple people by referring to his fucking own posts in the third person.
I think a good way of describing this to people would be "powdered water".
People are not getting that alcohol is a liquid like water. You can't powder it.
What you can do is absorb the water into an existing powder and if you don't want that to just be damp powder, you need to have the powder have a crystalline structure that can contain small amounts of water within the crystals.
But who would be dumb enough to think that was an efficient way to transport water? Obviously the more reasonable method is to put liquid water into some sort of container... such as we do.
This is a very odd product. And I fell like the people that think it would be a good idea are the same people that are worried about Dihydrogen Monoxide poisoning.
What I get moderated down for is calling people like you fucktards... and mostly because some people are just skittish squmish puritans that they can't handle fools getting their heads rhetorically knocked off and then hammered onto spikes on the castle battlements.
The thing is that you're stupid. And the only reason you've gotten this far in life with that absurd ego is because not enough people in your life have told you that you're stupid.
You could be one of those products of the self esteem campaigns where they just tell everyone they're special. I don't know you well enough to have a firm theory.
But the thing is that I'm doing you a favor. You're a retard. Take that to heart and perhaps you'll be a better person.

However, my point is that they CANNOT KNOW what will and will not work because fucking insane shit has worked on a regular basis.
Again, a bomb that a single plane could carry that could flatten a city all by itself.
Radar
Planes invisible to radar
Robotic drones
Laser cannons
magnetic cannons
etc etc etc. If I came to you in 1939 and told you that I had a plan to build a bomb that a single plane could carry that could flatten a city... would you take that seriously? Only nuclear physicists would have seen the potential there. Everyone else thought the bomb was magic.
When I told my brother that Raytheon was trying to sell laser cannons for weapons payloads on their drones, he thought I was full of shit. I showed him the pitch from Raytheon to the pentagon.
You don't know what is going to work and what won't. Crazy stuff has worked remarkably well when everyone said it was bonkers and it looked bonkers.
Not weapons but the point is the same thing. Insane things work if you throw enough brain power at it. You thread the needle. You have to do 1000 things right for it to work and one mistake means death... All they have to do is not make any mistakes.
I see you're still trying to conflate the one mistake I made on camel packs into arguing that my entire argument was wrong.
Dishonest at best, little one.
As to the many things I was proven wrong on... what was I proven wrong on besides the one off comment I made where I was too specific with the container type? I note you fuckers never get specific so it is impossible to prove you wrong because you never make falsifiable arguments.
As to my motivations, it has nothing to do with my personal interest in it. It has everything to do with retards getting excited because they think it will do things it can't do.
... Only it worked. They were able to build a bomb that could flatten a city that was small enough to be dropped by a single plane.
We take that for granted, but that was a pie in the sky concept at the time... at least from perspective of the non-physicists.
So today they're building lasers, magnetically accelerated cannons, autonomous hunter killer robots, etc...
Can you blame the pentagon for not being able to tell what will work from what won't?
I hate waste as much as the next guy, but how the hell are they to know half the time. F'ing radar invisible airplanes? Jet fighters that take off vertically?
A lot of it sounded crazy until it had already happened and was proven to work.
Just have a little sympathy for them. They can't really know sometimes. Neither can you. Any number of the dumb ideas there could have worked or could still work in the future.
As to camel packs, that was irrelevant to my point. You can use practically any kind of water bottle EXCEPT that one. Give me a flying fucking break.
you can use a flask... used for centuries for the transport of high proof booze... you can use any of the kinds of plastic that do not dissolve when in contact with alcohol and I cited at least one of them which is readily available in camping stores. Or you can just use the fucking bottle the fucking booze came in and wrap it in a sock in your pack. It will not break unless you're a complete fuckwit.
As to you saying I was proven wrong, was I proven wrong that powdered alcohol was stupid or was I proven wrong that you couldn't use a SPECIFIC type of plastic container? I'll cop to the latter but on the former you're completely fucking wrong because it is a stupid product. It takes up about 5 times more space AT LEAST and has to weigh multiples of what just alcohol would weigh. So why fucking bother with it?
if you have limited space and limited weight... then the last thing you would do is use something that takes up more space and weighs more.
As to your pathetic attempt to hang your idiotic position on my lack of civility, that came when people like you were too stupid to be worthy of it. It did not start that way. Act like a moron = get treated like a moron.
I like how all the people that say I'm wrong fail to point out what I am wrong about in a falsifiable way.
You're all such fucking cowards that you won't even risk saying enough to be proven wrong. You just make some vague insults and then skulk off. So I go out on a limb, explain my position, offer some logic for it, and you halfwits gainsay me without giving any reason for it.
And then you have the gall to say that I must be stupid because I told someone that didn't read my post to kill themselves.
And of course... the idiots doing it are mostly AC retards too cowardly to even use their fake forum names to diss people.
""But a packet of Palcohol is much harder to conceal" than liquid alcohol, the company making Palcohol says on its website. A packet of the substance measures 4 inches by 6 inches (10.2 centimeters by 15.2 cm), which is five times bigger than a 50-milliliter (1.7 ounces) bottle of liquid alcohol. "Alcohol in any format is subject to abuse if someone is determined to do so," the website says.""
You're wrong. And the fact that you're just sitting there popping off insults rather than directly contradicting any point is an admission of your own fear. You're just an intellectual coward that likes to throw out stupid insults and not expose himself to even the possibility that any of his points could be questioned by not actually making one in the first place.
When your arguments are this vague they don't really exist.
You're saying they referencing things or said things happened that contradicted things in ME1? Be specific please.

ME2 however was more complex than ME1 while not so transparently obsessed with the end game which ultimately was a complete insult to the players.
You can't have a stable society if everyone has such thin skin. If you have such thin skin then you have the police running around throwing people in jail for an unkind word or possibly just not making another person feel good.
And before you know it, the society turns into an endless series of witch trials officiated by a group of people that gain power by claiming other people are heretics or witches. And then everything turns to shit because not only are you not preventing harassment or bullying but you've given harassers and bullies the ability to throw people in jail simply because they're better at painting others as being heretics and witches.
The solution here is to raise the bar of what is and is not harassment to such a level that actual evidence can be seen and that the courts are not overwhelmed with minor infractions.
As to posting nude photos on the internet, it is a scummy thing to do and I don't approve of it. At the same time, I don't see the point in sending the police after people that do it... and even if you were to do such at thing, proving that X person did it is going to be complicated.
Lets say for example that the person complaining just got the password of the other person... then he or she took nude selfies and then put those nude selfies on the that person's facebook or whatever.
How can you say that X person did it when it is possible that they didn't even do it?
There is this perversion of due process that has become common lately where people just presume the plaintiff isn't lying their fucking ass off. And it is most common in sex/women's issues where people just ASSUME the girl isn't suckering everyone.
Now am I saying she always will? No... but you need proof that the guy did it or get the fuck out of court.
Policing that with any kind of competence is going to be almost impossible. And really society has better things to worry about than whether or not nude photos were posted on the internet.
Best advice... and again, I'd say this to my daughter... is don't get nude photos taken of yourself unless you're okay with your grandmother seeing them.
It is a choice. You want to be a naughty girl/guy and get photos taken of yourself? Pictures have then be taken.
if the pictures were taken without your consent that is another matter. I'm generally not going to give a fuck about pictures you took, gave to someone else, and then got leaked on the internet though. Life is too short. Stop wasting my time.
Nope. Nothing breaks immersion so much as being able to touch death with a level 1 character and not be killed.
The game world is taken more seriously now. I can reload if I kill myself but now everything in the game has to be watched carefully. And that increases immersion.

It makes no sense that an equal mass of ethanol would be absorbed by an equal mass of sugar.
If you understand the chemistry, 5 to 1 is actually very impressive. I would have thought it closer to 10 to 1.
And a volume of sugar 5 times larger than a volume of ethanol is going to weigh significantly more than that ethanol in the first place.
Pick up a bag of sugar. Is it 5 times lighter than a comparable bag of water? No it is not. It is lighter but not by much.
Cite your source please. I'd like to know why this guy is going a heavier and more volume consuming recipe than what he could be using.
