Just why do people think it's funny to make comments about not consuming alcohol?
I never see the point of having to drink to have fun or have friends around and have a laugh. Is it just part of the routine of going somewhere perhaps?
Ask any Doctor. Small amounts of alcohol does do damage sadly. But unless you're examining the blood or organs closly, you'd really not notice. If you get a hangover, that's your body's way to say you've caused damage.
Yes I am Autistic. But can't see how that effects my not liking Alcohol. My Autism simply means I can cut through all the social conventions that exists when a bottle appears on the table. I'm not going to pretend to laugh at people's jokes where alcohol is used as a prop on the vain hope it'll make them funny. I of course do have friends you might be surprised to know. You seem to imply you need alcohol to have friends which to me is an alien concept. I quite enjoy taking them home when they've got themselves into a half-conscious state. Going to a Pub to drink alcohol with massives of noise going on may be some people's idea of fun. But I really just want to talk to them in a quiet environment. If they feel they need to drink alcohol, ok let them. But I see no need whatsoever.
Take time in days for your body to repair itself after consuming alcohol. As you get older or suffer from other diseases, this time to repair takes longer and longer. Eventually the alcohol destroys more than the body can repair.
I'm 55+ and have never drunk more than a measure or two every year.
Just never liked the taste of beer or wine, to me they taste of alcohol and I don't like it. People said to me I'd grow to like it. But hey, why would I want to do that and socially drink just for the benefit of others?
I've got a 15 year old half drunk bottle of single malt Scotch on the shelf. It's been there over 12 years. I only keep it in case a guest asks for some.
When I see a drunk on TV or in the street and see people laughing at them, I really don't see what's so funny.
Wasn't Acetaldehyde shown to form in the saliva of Alcohol drinkers over a decade ago?
I expect to hear from the usual mixture of deniers and and 'I told you so' folks now. Oh how tedious...
So, let's wait until further studies are performed across the World and when they agree or disagree with this finding, we can make a decision then? A vain hope I know....
Companies don't really want to reply to customers unless that customer is performing a public review or statement. The Internet makes it far too easy to reply to a company for no real reason. (Oh my parcel arrived 10 minutes late or the packaging is dented). Sure, we'd like perfection. But we ain't going to get it.
We need a system rather like the eBay score system on a company that allows us to report a cockup by email. Then let them respond. It would have to be secure with people vouching for each other as genuine. It's the only way to make them listen. Make it a part of the Review process?
Companies only listen to high status reviewers on Twitter, YouTube or Facebook during their brief product launch. So let's hear about companies that don't want to talk to customers in the Review? We can make it better.
Once you become a manager you care more for other managers options than your customers or employees. So whatever their private view as soon as they hear another manager criticising a memo, it spreads like wildfire. I've worked in big and small industries over the last 40 years.
Standard practise in any business sadly.
Are there gender differences between men and women on the type of jobs they go for?
Of course there is! 200 years of cultural learning has put that into place and changing the PC side of it will take a _couple_ of generations to filter down.
Just give it time for the women to come out of School and University and get jobs.
If you don't want future 16 to 20 year olds to lose jobs in the warehouse and supermarket sectors, it's simple. Don't buy from these stores. If you must shop in a store, only use the manned cashiers, never use the self-service.
The main capacitors (usually around 600-1000uF) that smooth the output of the rectified Mains is only about 300-400V and if designed correctly will have discharge resistors across them to render them safe in milliseconds.

This is just ludicrous.
Again with the joke.

Pavlov Dogs syndrome perchance? :)

It will usually creep up on you one day.

Bizarre or what?

Did someone let reality escape?

Sample the output for a hundred years, once a second for example. Then see if the mean is 0.5? HAHA.
Heck we used to use common Zenor Diodes to generate noise. Hardly new.
It's Managers culture.

These reactors are still prototypes.Has any country managed to generate Plasma for 5 minutes let along 24 hours?
So, was the last bit sent a 1 or a 0? ;)
Another NASA management-like cockup.
I think I said this a few weeks ago on my Facebook.
You can only pack so much charge into a lithium before the slightest knock will set it off.
The note 4/5 batteries aren't even designed to last even 2 years. The result of trying to push a higher capacity into a small physical size.
They pushed the envelope too far in the Note 7.
Excellent.
Come back when you've made 2 metres....
There will be a mass of garbage collection....Slow, very slow.
It is because Scientists are more willing to report corruption that we're seeing issues in public.
Or did someone think they're not people with ordinary people issues?
So not the world's greatest, merely in the USA?
If I had to vote on the World's greatest fictional character it would have to be Sherlock Holmes.
The character is over 122 years old and has been published on every media known to mankind and in every country.
Hey paint ball them!
Then the police can track them on land if they use long staining paint?
Or is that too obvious?
Eh?

The fact that this web site doesn't tell you the price of the product, makes me wonder how affordable it is?
