  • After a certain point, I’d imagine that there are diminishing effects. The difference between 100ug and 200ug is huge, but the difference between 1100ug and 1200ug isn’t anywhere near as big. After a certain point, it all just becomes a trip. But the size of the trip is entirely up to your mindset and individual brain chemistry; I know people who have found or lost religion on 300ug, and others who said 1500 was just a nice smooth trip.

    To be clear, it would be a mind-bogglingly large trip. But I doubt it would have any more of an effect than a much smaller (but still very large) dose.




  • Or just a small industry where everyone knows everyone else. I personally know probably 3/4 of all the hiring managers in my area for my field. Hell, two of them are in my weekly board game group. I could literally text someone for work right now and be hired before my DoorDash driver arrives with my dinner.

    But during COVID, the entire industry was dry as a bone, and we lost a lot of good workers to other industries. As with everything, it entirely depends on the nature of the work.


  • It 100% depends on the number of cubes used to blend the frozen marg, versus the number of cubes used to put the drink on the rocks. It also depends on the method of preparation.

    A standard marg glass has a volume of 9 fluid ounces, and a 1 inch cube of ice has a volume of ~.55 fluid ounces of water. So assuming you use five cubes for a drink on the rocks, your drink is about 30% water before you even add your liquor. (Though to be clear, this isn’t likely to reflect reality, as bars tend to use commercial ice makers that create hollow ice cubes.) So as long as your frozen marg is less than 30% slush by volume, the frozen marg will be stronger. And the exact liquor:slush ratio really just depends on how thick you like your frozen drink; More ice means a stiffer/more frozen drink.

    If the frozen marg is made using a commercial frozen marg machine, the frozen marg will almost certainly be stronger; The marg machine doesn’t actually add any ice to the drink; It just freezes the water that is already present in the liquor and mixers. To be clear, the mixers (like pre-made marg mix) have a lot of water in them. But conceivably the frozen drink would be using that same mixer too, so there shouldn’t be any difference in the actual liquid ABV. No extra water being added to produce the ice means the resulting drink is stronger. But the refrigeration required for that doesn’t efficiently scale to smaller sizes, so at-home machines usually require adding ice to the mixture and then blending to break the ice into slush.



  • The issue is that Disney’s army of lawyers will claim that any Snow White is based on theirs, not the original fairy tale. And they’ll be able to win it in court, purely by turning the legal fight into a battle of attrition for the defense.

    Imagine I make a Mickey Mouse cartoon, based on the original Steamboat Willie character, which is in the public domain. Disney will sue me and claim it is actually based on the modern character. And now it’s up to me to prove in court that it is not infringing on their modern character. And that becomes difficult when the line between the old character and the modern one is so blurred.
