The only pure fruit extracts I know of are lemon and lime and I don't think those are sweetened and see them at lots of stores.

It sounds like mixing it all together should be fine, its not like its chemistry where a failed mixture could kill you.

Saw this thing a while ago, it's interesting looking at how many counting systems there are in use on Earth

... then it makes the point that Klingon is effectively a really basic clone of the Anglophone number system just with different words, so it's much less exotic than real Earth systems. So Klingons only use base 10, and have a word for thousands and a word for millions, etc etc. Not to mention that even English is a mishmash of base 10, base 12 and base 20 (score) systems here and there. So the lucky ancient Klingons went "ok so it's base 10 with thousands, millions and billions etc, nice neat system, no caveats needed", which shows the actual paucity of flavor in most of our sci fi stuff.

I've still got them and sig images turned off for all y'all, so nyah.

Is it because of my old avatar? The one that caused so many complaints that the Toad himself descended to smite it?

I've had images turned off since before you were even on the site

I was thinking it should be fairly easy to do a decentish selfmade arizona ice tea that is much less sweeter, since one of them half liter bottles has about as much sugar as a 33cl can of coke:

Get some very neutral green tea or whatever, brew that.
Get those lemon granulates for sour/sweetness, brew that in another container.
Now this is the hard part, where can you get fruit extracts that aren't siroop (sweetened)?

Mix them together in the right proportions. Add water if needed. Should be allright shouldn't it?

Lemon like this? It uses real lemon, and would probably be decent with tea.

Almost, but it was a puppy.

This makes me oddly sad. How come? I can't imagine you have an overly restrictive data cap or internet that struggles to load them...

Because many of them are incredibly annoying and disruptive and I didn't see the point considering the previous forum on the old host didn't even have the capability for images (either sig images or avatars).

There was a whole big discussion once we migrated over as to whether or not image capability should be enabled. Enablers ended up winning the democratic majority, but there was enough of a split that Toady agreed that a compromise of being able to opt out should be included.


Also, they do still load in if you're checking the forum without logging in to your account, since image deactivation is a profile setting. I've done that a couple times.

...I've since decided to not do that any more, because my opinion of a few forumites suffered a notable drop after I saw what they were packing their avatars and sigs with on every post...

[Yoink]

I see. So it is as I feared. 😞

Idea I had the other day: a VR device that's compatible with a rowing machine.   
So you can be getting whatever normal workout you're after on the machine, but what you're seeing is, say, the dank belly of an ancient galley or similar boat, with virtual shouts and chants (or cracks of a whip) driving you on until you really feel the burn. Also, admire the medieval scenery passing by outside between reps!

Obviously it wouldn't be much of a game or terribly interactive, but it could be pretty novel. I dunno, this is just a vague, barebones idea at this point.
