Much less acidic than the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. Mostly, it breaks down into H2O and CO2. You know, carbonated water… Biggest effect is gas build up, causing you to burp and/or fart.

I have a 10 inch and it is louder than my 16 inch with the same can. To my ears anyway. Might be different on a meter.

On gas guns I have settled on 9-10 inch barrels and 16 on bolt guns.

There’s no meaningful metabolic difference between sucrose and hfcs. Sucrose is a disaccharide, consisting of glucose and fructose monosaccharides. HFCS is a mixture of glucose and fructose in roughly equal measure. Sucrose is readily broken down by the body into glucose and fructose. Whether it gets there via a disaccharide, or 2 monosaccharides, the metabolic impact is the same.

Manufacturers in the US use HFCS because we grow a ton of corn, which is federally subsidized; making it substantially cheaper than cane sugar, which is imported and subject to tariffs…

HFCS is also easier to work with, as it is liquid at room temp, making it easier to blend into liquids.

The only thing that removing HFCS from soft drinks does is make them more expensive, for no benefit.

That’s a terrible use of govt effort.

Is there an Expiration Date for the Cert?

And Coke was intended as a treat/snack/pause that refreshes.

Not a 2 gallon a day habit.

So bring back cane sugar... And let Americans drink what the market bears.

As Kennedy said, "If you want your Coke and your Big Mac, you should stilll be able to get them." It's his job to help people understand the consequences of abusing the food available to them. (I paraphrase...)

This is how responsibility works.

But getting the 'food manufacturers' to remove dangerous shit from food is also a priority. And reminding people to look at the ingredients list. The very term 'Food Manufacturers' is disgusting... Food should be grown, raised, harvested, etc. Not manufactured. Manufactured stuff is not food. It's Soylent Green

Should have been given a full time job of 6 figures to continue doing it. Keep the $200 per for a tip.

I quit drinking soda 15 years ago. If you have a 1 a day habit of you quit you’d lose 12 lbs in a year. Thats how much sugar those poison cans have.

I have a '3 Jarritos Lime' a month habit. I love that stuff. When I am grocery shopping, I buy three bottles. Mexican soda. Loads of sugar. Great flavor. Probably colored with shit from an antifreeze manufacturer. That's my 'soda habit.' Yup, it's a lot of sugar. But it's my treat and I am sticking to it. I am sure that's not what will kill me in the end...

I don't think they were started with noble intentions though. They were started with good emotional excuses with the end games already planned. We have seen this on repeat through all of our lifetimes.

Yeah, I get that real sugar is the lesser of the two evils, but it just seems like an oxymoron to think of soda as healthy. Fun fact, from a health perspective, beer is actually healthier than soda.

So, we’re making Coca Cola more expensive to produce, with no net benefit to the consumer. This is what winning looks like.

One million percent humidity zero check

Depends on what kind of elk hunting; guided on a giant private ranch, horse back on public land, or solo backpacking?

Personally, I’ve killed two with the good old 7 mag, both under 100 yards. Third was killed with a 300 win mag. I like the 30 Cal’s better with a good bonded bullet or a Partition if they shoot well in your gun. I just put together a 300 WSM with a 20” barrel and carbon stock just for this purpose for a backpack hunt this fall.

Good luck with your choice.

Sesame Street already picked up a deal with Netflix two months ago.

Public funding was never necessary, if a product is viable it will have commercial backing.

I would disagree... public funding started in the 1960's and much of it was aimed at providing educational content in rural areas and places where there was literally a wasteland of quality content. And in the beginning, Public Broadcasting was some amazing quality content.

But starting almost immediately in the 1970's, it was infiltrated by leftists who turned the whole thing into a propaganda outlet. They recognized from the get-go that control of childrens content and 'science' content would let them push their agendas and brainwash generations. The gays, the communists, the activist rejects from mainstream journalism found a home for their propaganda. And got really well paid for it.

As with many things (including USAID) it started with the noblest of intentions. And was hijacked by forces of evil. If USAID was digging wells, putting roofs on schools and distributing bags of food with USA on them... they'd be a national asset. But instead, they turned into a slush fund for leftist BS. AND a giant money laundering operation. So, kill it. Done. Just sad that it took so long to find someone willing to kill it. For decades now, USAID has done untold damage to the US's foreign AND domestic policy. You think LBP's like leftist Americans coming into their Muslim villages and using pointy-talky's to show the kids how to engage in anal sex? And if USAID was at all effective, with the amount of money spent on it, the third world would be a paradise of success, not a starving shithole. Still.

This is the problem with bureaucracies and 'do good/feel good' organizations. They attract the over-empathetic leftist fruitbats who think government can solve everything. And guess who they fund and vote for? And will steal, cheat, kill and riot to protect their sacred cow of government Nannyhood.
