You’re using the same logic my dad uses to rail against going to Mars. He says there is no worthwhile reason to go there when more pressing matters on earth are in abundance.

Just like you, he is missing the forest for the trees, angrily ignorant to the fact that the knowledge you gained from trying to achieve a seemingly worthless achievement is the actual value, not in the achievement itself.

The achievement is just a convenient goal to make the science more exciting to the general public so as to garner more financial support from both private and government sources. Each of the steps needed to gain that achievement may not have gained as much funding as they do now if they were presented separately from that final goal.

Why?

Interesting, thanks for answering me. I didn’t know about this.

Can you explain how port forwarding is used for torrenting and how it works with other VPNs?

No, coffee is burnt coffee milk. We need actual raw coffee milk.

Most people are born into their religion, so they didn’t choose it either. It’s also not easy to change your religion when everyone around you and your culture is based around that religion. So your logic is simply based on dumb ignorance of the world.

That means you logic made no sense, as well.

With all the trouble Americans have caused the world, I can’t wait for you to advocate treating Americans as a mental illness, as well

I remember a story where their magic system uses up mana in the air, so you cannot use too many magic in one area without needing to wait for it to recover slowly.

Your edit only said that it IS better than smoking, so how does your original comment supposed to make sense?

Where does it imply that he’s an extrovert?

Part of the reason it shard to change the system is because of resistance from the waiters who make a lot of money from tips, so yes, not tipping does help change the system.

Wait, your cat can talk?

I didn’t say you did. I thought my first sentence made that clear. I was just adding to the conversation, not trying to accuse you of anything. Just comparing what you did right with what I’ve seen from some Linux users, especially when it comes to talking to new users or people who were planning to switch to Linux.

You don’t, but plenty of Linux users says it’s the wrong OS. In fact, I’ve seen plenty that says you shouldn’t choose many of the most popular distros such as Linux Mint and Pop_OS. It always makes me wonder if these people aren’t just trying to sabotage Linux desktop adoption among newbies by making it more confusing than it needs to be. Just say the pros and cons of such and such distro and just let people make their own choice instead of trying to push their favourite distro over more popular ones.

So the guy won’t have to complain about downvotes.

Rule of thumb. If you refuse to use sarcasm or joke tags, don’t complain when people take what you write seriously. It’s a gamble you have to take.

In the same paper abstracts, they also mention how bitterness itself suppresses sweetness, so by suppressing bitterness with salt, you also make any sweet notes in the coffee stand out better. This might be another reason why salt makes it more palatable.

I don’t think salt modified the acidity, though. What they do is activate the salty receptors which share nerve pathways with bitter receptors, so you detect less of the bitterness in the coffee.

Edit: I can’t find any reputable sources for the sharing nerve pathways part, but a couple of paper abstracts I found do show that saltiness suppresses our ability to detect bitterness.

I think the top part does need context.
