I honestly blame corporations rather than the availability to idiots.
Back in the Wild West internet days, things existed simply because people thought they were funny or hilarious, now things only exist if they garner some clout or can generate ad revenue. I don't know how much of that is an inherently human trait, but I feel like society wasn't so super-focused on personal success and self-image/confidence as it has been the past maybe 8 years. Or it was and I never noticed until then.
Edit: thinking more about it, availability might be a contributing factor to this, so you're probably not wrong.
Nah, dude, he is just stupid. That's very on-brand for him. We are talking about a guy that suggested injecting bleach to kill the covid virus in 2020 and that was back when his dementia wasn't ravaging him as hard as it does now.
He is just a sociopath that faced zero consequences for his behavior throughout his whole life and now that his brain cannot keep up with the lies he constructed, it's becoming more and more obvious. The funny thing is that this interview was published by the White House, so even his bootlickers are so fed up with him that they don't really care to protect him anymore.
Didn't read the article, but the title is probably just your run-of-the-mill engagement bait and only tangentially related to the content. It's 2025 after all.
When was it decided that parents can do absolutely nothing wrong regarding their kids so that intrusive bullshit like this had to be introduced? Who in their right mind would upload their ID or face pic to some rando porn site to verify an age? It's like Internet Security 101 to not do that ever.
I had a sour taste in my mouth when signing Stop Killing Games because it required my full legal name and address even tho I understand that they need to verify my eligibility to vote and I trust them way more than I trust a for-profit porn site. It's just not something I usually do on principle.
You know who else curtails developer choice by setting arbitrary deadlines and pushing for aggressive monetization? Game publishers. Pretty sure the devs don't want their game to be universally hated for lootboxes and bugs.
The figure you've linked plots concentration by weight (wt.%), while the alcohol content of drinks is usually given in volume percent (v/v). Ethanol is less dense than water, so a 30% concentration by weight is a higher concentration by volume.
Imagine a 100g solution of 30wt.% alcohol. That means that 30g are ethanol and 70g are water. the 70g of water translate to 70ml volume (density 1g/ml) and the 30g of ethanol translate to 30/0.789 = 38.02ml. So in total, you would have 108.02ml of liquid and the concentration of ethanol by volume would be 38.02/108.02 = 35.2%.
Why it gets wacky at the end: Ethanol freezes at -114°C, water freezes at 0°C, but at specific concentrations, the eutectic composition, the solution freezes at a lower point than either of its constituents. The eutectic point is the lowest possible freezing point of a solution. The formula I gave is not applicable to eutectic solutions and is an approximation based on perfect solutions (which in reality don't really exist).
