Even better example: syrup water vs. pure syrup, or juice vs. juice concentrate. I guess something like zest vs. eating a lemon peel as well.

byond never disappoints

Maybe I'm being obtuse here but what's the big deal with /datum and why is it amazing that someone just simply assigned it as their client's parent?

[itisnotlogical]

Lemons are actually alright. I couldn't eat a lot of them, but the aftertaste is pleasant if you can survive the initial sourness.

[TD1]

One lemon is my limit. I once ate one like an orange, and by the end it was getting unpleasant.

And the after taste is the best bit

datum is the supertype for literally everything in byond

except clients

Today I learned it takes about three and a half hours of near constant whistling before my throat starts to (mildly, but still) cramp.

I don't think I was fully cognizant those things could cramp.

But now I know, and my throat muscles feel a bit sore.

[TempAcc]

Frumple confirmed for creepy street whistler.

[Frumple]

If I had been whistling on florida streets for three and a half hours, I wouldn't have a cramped throat, my corpse would be in the morgue.

Driving a fair bit today, was all.

F.lux helps a lot with the reading, heh. Or an equivalent if you've got a tablet... I've actually been doing most of my reading these days on kindle (browser or otherwise net obtained, of course, cause I ain't payin' for books when I've several lifetimes and growing worth of stuff that's free). Decent contrast on the text also helps rather substantially (darkling's a decent example, save the actual typing box). The generally default black on white is complete and utter shit for prolonged reading, tbh.

Though a lot of things try to fix it by just inverting... it's better (significantly so), but ideally there's basically no white on your screen, and few bright colors in general. You want contrast, but not glare. I like a light-ish grey on a dark background myself. Usually something like a dark blue rather than a straight black. Much easier to read, heh.

Eh, I use f.lux. My issues aren't with any of that, really, although I don't think using a computer screen right before bed will ever be good for me. It's also the distractions, and something I can't really put my finger on. I really like reading paper books, web pages just don't do it for me.

Have you tried an ereader?  Not a tablet, but an ereader with an eInk screen that is only built for reading.  It's very much like reading on paper for me.  I download ebooks and fanfiction into Calibre then export it to my ereader, and it's very nice to have my library in my pocket.

Show I was watching didn't seem to know that Child Labor isn't illegal in the United States and Canada...

It is regulated.

Kind of a big difference.

No, its much more effective to use bogeymen than be realistic.

[saigo]

But once you reach Legendary Fighter and Weapon user, bogeymen stop being a threat, but real things like freezing rivers and crossbows are still deadly.

[Eric Blank]

And children, it turns out.

No, do you know what's funny? I had to remove ki blasts from the DBZ mod because, like crossbows, they are equally deadly to everyone, regardless of attributes or skill level. I have units that can, by their own strength, punch someone flying 30 meters away that get sucker-shot from behind in the head and die immediately.
