Industrial ethanol? It is still just ethanol. It is not more poisonous because it is “industrial”.

By industrial alcohol, I meant ethanol intended for industrial purposes. And while it’s just as safe as alcohol intended for human consumption it’s usually much cheaper.

Finally, what is denatured alcohol even supposed to mean? Proteins can denature, but they are complex molecules. Alcohol cannot denature.

I looked in your profile and noticed some comments in German, so I guess this is how I find out “denatured alcohol” is a US centric term. In the United States denatured alcohol is a term for a high concentration ethanol mixed with enough methanol to make it poisonous (and maybe a few other things to make it even more unpalatable). It’s usually used for fuel or a solvent. Just throw “denatured alcohol” into the search engine of your choice and it should spit out a few examples.

A miserable little pile of grifters! But enough talk… have at you!

I dunno, as I understand it getting enough methanol to kill from bad distilling is possible, but really easy to avoid. Even the most amateur distiller could avoid it… and they would probably avoid it since corpses are lousy repeat customers.

No, my guess would be is that someone in the supply chain was doing some minor fraud by adding some industrial ethanol and water to the the whisky. Add a bucks worth of industrial ethanol to a gallon of whiskey and boom, now you have two gallons of whiskey. It’s gonna be mixed into drinks and sold to drunk tourists, and it probably tasted like crap to begin with, so who’s gonna notice a slightly shittier flavor? Except this time somebody screwed up and got some de-natured alcohol rather then pure ethanol.

So… I’m gonna guess she’s entangled with Gaetz various crimes in some way.

I’m guessing that while Trump picked him, the power('s) behind the throne quietly strongarmed him into withdrawing.

That’s true about most of the conspiracy crowd. If you look at their ramblings there’s a thick streak of envy running through them. They don’t want to stop the shadowy individuals they believe run the world, they’re angry that they’re not one of them.

The donvict-humpers supposedly “win”, and then get even MORE angry. Why so angry?

Because we’ve stolen their martyrdom from them by losing.

“People can’t know who we are and all the crimes we commit, it would be devastating!”

The Final Fantasy boss? I mean I’d vote for him, he’s made of elemental evil and has a dragon head for a willy.

Okay… so honest question: how long did it take for you to close the linked video?

In my case it was about 45 seconds. The weird hands/body language creeped me out and when combined with the synthetic voices I just couldn’t take it.

They chose corn. Which barely gets digested.

Corn gets digested. The “corn” you see in your poo after eating sweet corn is usually a empty hull, the good stuff has been digested and only the tough fibrous hull is left. Hard corns are upper-mid in their amount of calories per volume when compared to other grains.

What am I missing here, this is way too obviously strange to me, gotta be missing something.

The main reason of “why corn” is that corn is a staple food, meaning that in many regions of the world (including the US) it supplies a large amount of the calories a person eats to get through their day. This includes many areas where subsistence agriculture is common. As such in some countries a subsistence farmer may grow corn and most of what he eats throughout the year is that corn. Obviously, this is not a ideal diet and malnutrition becomes a common problem, like say anemia.

Also corn uses C4 photosynthesis, which is much more efficient than the C3 photosynthesis most crops use. Which means (depending on conditions) you can get more grain per acre.

Edit: I just noticed that I typed “substance” rather than “subsistence”… twice. Fixed now.

Yeah… two of the characters in the Chinese text are different, but the rest of the image is the same. I guess that explains it.

Whoever photoshopped it did a great job. I totally didn’t notice it had been altered from the version I thought it was.

Huh, I can’t read Chinese so I’m obviously taking others word for it, but several people in this Reddit thread and this language blog both said there were several problems with the Chinese text.

IIRC the English is apparently the original text and the Chinese is nonsensical Google translate output.

Oh, I’m sure a few Russian oligarchs and mobsters will win big.

That’s… computer generated. BeamNG maybe?

What do you want to bet it’ll still end up in US markets somehow?

I’ll have Youtube start bitching about… once a week or so, but that just means I have to clear my block lists and re-load them.

Yeah… but sometimes you’ve gotta accept that a band-aid is all you can do. While this doesn’t fix the underlying problems, if it works it’ll provide more water and low carbon energy, which is better than nothing.

I think it has something to do with making a online childrens library?
