- You are not much fun. 2. You have never been to a good party. 3. Humanity owes its existence to alcohol. Beer and wine were the only safe drinks before water purification.
Alcohol also creates reproduction.
You also will vomit when too much alcohol is consumed. Even if you are passed out.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Ask me how much alcohol and different drugs, including rarely known ones like 25l-nbome I've used. Medical field and drugs have always fascinated me, hence my excessive reading on it and the potential dangers associated with them. What I said isn't also some hard-coded event that will most definitely happen, it's actually mostly down to genetics where some will deal with said substances better than others. Look up super-hangover gene (forgot what was it called ironically)
You all seem to be ignoring the "potentially" word from my original comment.

One of my favorite things about Lemmy ~ Star Trek references can occur anywhere, at any given moment.
I have a personal metric system for rating social networking platforms based on the percentage of Trekkies/Trekkers.
But have you searched for "communities containing tenforward" yet?

Don't agencies have some kind of de minimis threshold for just running out to the store and buying basic stuff? I thought that's why the DOGE freeze of government credit cards a few months ago was causing labs to cancel experiments and employees paying out of pocket to feed horses and working dogs.
So the military does have a strict procurement process for rocket fuel, but they generally refuel their civilian vehicles (vans and such) with a government credit card at normal gas stations.
At least that's how I understand it.
It depends. What area is the vehicle operating in, what resources are available in the area, both from internal department, intra department, and external/public....
There's a lot of factors to consider.
I won't pretend to know what factors got them to that point, but bluntly, it doesn't really matter. Some set of circumstances created the conditions where such a question needed to be asked.

I remember watching the X-files sometimes in the noughties and Mulder came up with a deduction; "it must've been two men...nobody drinks two six-packs alone" and I just cracked up.
12-pack was like a medium for the night, 24 a heavier. Plus bars usually. (Finn here.)
12 pack, sure... but 2 six-packs is different, ain't it?

Amazing, did you beat her? Did you win?
Only if I can include other various phallic shaped objects in the contest.

"halt" might be difficult in orbit.
This implies that catching fire is easy while in orbit with minimal, if any, atmosphere.
Interesting take.

Perhaps the store was out of 12-packs.
Also at that time, in like early 90's (in the tv show), I don't think 12-pack was that common

I'm not sure whether that's a hot take, and I know there are different levels of tolerance, but I think you might have a problem if you drink 20 beers in 2-3 days (assuming 4-6% alcohol). Or at least you will probably have, starting day 2
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Assuming 12oz beers at 5% ABV, that you're a man at the global average weight of 180lbs, and have a healthy liver, if you paced yourself to 1 beer every 1.5 hours over the course of your 16 waking hours per day, your BAC would never exceed 0.02, you'd have 5-10 minutes between beers with a BAC of 0, and you'd drink about 12 beers in a day.
Most people would not be noticeably intoxicated by this and probably wouldn't experience any kind of hangover. They might wind up a bit dehydrated if that's the only thing they drink. It's also definitely not advisable to do that over any extended period of time.

You start with 100 bottles of beer on the wall...
What happens if one were to fall...
-
Generally most consider a "beer" 355ml (12oz us) give or take.
No...?
A bottle in germany is 0.5liters, in italy it's quite 50/50 between 0.33 and 0.66 liters.
-
Where can you get beer by the 2 liter?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]In Hungary and Croatia for example

Well then someones got some cleaning to do.

It's not that hard. You just have to lose a little bit of speed, enough for re-entry, and there's your fire.

This is for stuff going on a literal space ship. I'm sure procurement was super strict on there.
Imagine getting some defective stuff (or even worse, stuff contaminated with bacteria or something like that).
I don't think they'd just let some intern tun over to the local walmart and grab supplies from there for supplies for the space shuttle.

Why ask the manufacturer about the average consumption when you can ask the person in question about the real consumption?
Tbh, the story was reported by Ride on a talk show for laughs. It's not exactly a well-documented incidence.
Likely, the package they ordered had 100pcs in them (because it's meant for commercial clients) and they asked her something like "We got 100 here, how many do you need?"
It's of course fun to insinuate that NASA engineers have never been close to women and thus have no idea how tampons work, but it's more likely that this was just played up for laughs at a talk show.
