Time for a blind test where you either drink normal coffee or decaf without knowing which? Science demands it!

This has been happening to me even before I knew what a diuretic was. I would always be like, "damn, coffee is a lot like beer, gotta go all the time". Eventually connected the dots. Maybe my bladder is just more susceptible to it. Beer is even worse, though, because I consume more of it in one sitting than coffee. But I usually don't go to class after beer, so having to go all the time isn't that bad if the bathroom is a couple doors down.

I've never heard this before. I don't see what's different about blue moon compared to anything else. People I know think it's better/classier than most of the standard brands.

I guess it's because it's a wheat beer, so it doesn't really have high amounts of your typical manly man ingredients like hops and malts.

This is pretty funny: http://www.metrowize.com/beer-guide

Don't take it too seriously folks. Kinda goes in the order I mentioned. Personally, I'm not a fan of wheat beers; I just don't like the orangey apricot taste. Now hefeweizens on the other hand, still considered a wheat beer, taste much better to me, and instead of the ultra wheat taste, it's more of banana and spices, which give it the "bite" that traditional witbiers lack. As far as I know, these aren't considered "girly", but that's because nobody can pronounce it probably.

its similar in aus, we make fun of people for drinking girly drinks, but no one actually gives a ****

you get called a f@g for drinking a girly drink but you also get called a f@g for having a girlfriend

oh and i agree with ballin. i hate when people think they're so manly for drinking scotch and coke. its not even scotch!

 

[asianaussie]

cruisers are the best and anyone who disagrees is a pretentious lout or a bogan

i feel like i would become super addicted to classic fighter games if ever i gave them a chance

for the record, i spend way too much time in training mode on traditional fighters, so when you scale that using a me to pete 64 training mode scale, you will spend approximately four hundred years in training mode per character

especially since coke is often sweeter than fruit juice.

i wouldn't know though since i always drink diet. after all sugar is the devil (aspartame A-OK though!)

 

[KnitePhox]

(aspartame A-OK though!)

lol good one. i've always thought that cane sugar or fruit sugar are the "safest" as they occur more naturally than man-made aspartame(and/or other FAKE sweeteners) and thus easier to break down or process by one's body.

GOOGLE ASPARTAME ARTICLE

**** high fructose corn syrup too

 

[Sempiternity]

it's all about dat water up in here

GOOGLE ASPARTAME ARTICLE

Yeah but I'd still rather have aspartame than sugar cuz no calories! Give me sucralose over aspartame any day though (or better yet stevia or no sweeteners at all).

Also idk if I trust that article. Wikipedia appears to debunk the aspartate claims: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy#Safety_and_health_effects
(I skimmed both though so forgive me if I'm mistaken)

Also HFCS is basically the same as sugar health-wise. For more: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/re...t-it-is-and-what-it-aint-research-review.html

This makes me think that all traditional fighters are nothing other than flawless execution and little about opponent the opponents options. Hope, I'm wrong.

 

[asianaussie]

i can't tell if you're serious or not, and the Always Serious title doesn't help

context: i don't use 64 training mode at all, pete uses it very frequently, and i was quite obviously using hyperbole there

you are most definitely wrong, by the way

You came to this conclusion from aa saying that he spends more time in traditional fighters' training modes than in Smash?

 

[Olikus]

star king you allways had such cool avatars. When you gonna stop have this bad one, and get a new cool one?

 

[Channighan]

Whenever I tell him to. I had to ground him; he didn't eat his vegetables.

 

[M!nt]

He should go ahead and get his pony avatar since he has already been revealed

 

[TANK64]

when i worked at dunkin donuts and we were all out of regular iced coffee, we literally just used decaf instead and the people couldn't tell the difference.

so yeah unless your career in life is to test coffee like franklin, you ain't gonna know **** lol

lol yea xD. Most people's palate/observations are disturbingly useless in general. Like how are you not going to notice a decaf xD.

its similar in aus, we make fun of people for drinking girly drinks, but no one actually gives a ****

you get called a f@g for drinking a girly drink but you also get called a f@g for having a girlfriend

Yea, Aspartame and HFCS are def the devil also (devils everywhere!). You gotta drink the Coca-Cola-Classic made with cane sugar in the glass bottle ftw (pretty sure I've mentioned this before). Too bad Albertsons and Blockbuster just went out of business around me (where I used to get them) >___>. Guess I'll have to try Publix now...

 

[Olikus]

You're stricht. But allso fair at the same time.

 

[The Star King]

You're right. Battlecow's taste in avatars is so much worse than mine

I feel like he conned me into giving him my supercool avatar. o well. I'll change soon.

[ballin4life]

tank it's like you didn't even read my links about why aspartame / HFCS hate is overblown

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

how is it overblown? it's an unnecessary ingredient that only makes things less healthy.

 

[Battlecow]

Yoooooooo

Europe is good at this game

Olikus is the broiest bro ever for buying me $200,000 Oslo pizza and bringing me water while I sat in his house and played other people online, plus he's good at smash

I'm bout to hit that summer kaillera **** for six hours a day so WATCH OUT my afternoon peeps!

 

[Combo Blaze]

Hope to play you a bunch of times online. c:

 

[Battlecow]

It's gonna be 2gud

U going to FC?

 

[Pimp Daddy Supreme]

Yoooooooo

Europe is good at this game

you are just one huge contradiction

 

[Battlecow]

I was gonna talk a bunch of **** but they were all so nice... King funk even offered to have my children after I upB'd Bear on a platform. That's what I call hospitality.

 

[SSBPete]

i swear the only character anyone uses in europe is captain falcon

 

[asianaussie]

i thought europe had lame foxes, or something

and i've link ditto'd dandan \o/

 

[Combo Blaze]

It's gonna be 2gud

U going to FC?

Maaaaaaaaaaaybe. Still not sure, got stuff I gotta get done.

 

[The Star King]

Yeah from what I've heard Europe has way too many Foxes and Links apparently

 

[The Star King]

Welcome back Battlecow

 

[Olikus]

battlecow is a really cool dude. Hope you had fun playing europeans. More americans should do like him and visit us =D

 

[ballin4life]

So is sugar then. Did you read the links? Somehow I kinda doubt it ...

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

nope, didn't. sorry.

also, i need help. finally calibrated my controller and it works! but another problem. i am getting **** connection to galaxy, but i live in orlando and have a great connection (40 mbp/s download, 10 mbp/s upload)

but i'm getting 5 to 6 frames of delay.

no one else using this network, nothing downloading, video card is fine, processor is fine, no viruses, no other programs running.

i have literally no clue how to fix this. anyone?

 

[KnitePhox]

Nice bcow.


Aspartame doesn't need to be added, the taste isn't even naturally occuring enough to warrant how much food its put in. Can't same the same about sugar....GGS BALLIN.

Open command prompt.

type the following: ping 69.172.242.150

look at the average time in ms

if it's in between 67 and 83 ms, you'll get 5 frames
if it's in between 84 and 99 ms, you'll get 6 frames

 

[TANK64]

Gonna have to agree with Phoxy. Sugar tastes better

Interesting read though (just read it lol), but doesn't debunk all the articles I've read over the years claiming the exact opposite. Aspartame/phenylalanine is ****ing toxic lol, besides besides being a blatant carcinogen (blah blah who cares). And HFCS, dude that's a metabolism nightmare. I hope you're joking. I'm trying to keep my insulin levels on lock . Raw sugar/Raw honey ftw.

eating sugar can't be good for your insulin levels ... also sugar is a carcinogen too. but yeah HFCS is usually 55% fructose 42% glucose where sugar is 50% fructose 50% glucose. So not much difference between the two. That's why I said if you ate 1000 cal of HFCS it'd probably be worse than sugar due to the extra fructose but for small amounts it is negligible.

to be clear aspartame seems to be the worst of the common sweeteners. but my point overall is that these kinds of things are not important enough to trip out about.

 

[TANK64]

Ehh you're right. They all have the same basic downfalls. I hardly even eat fruit anymore... But manufacturers really need to stop putting Aspartame and Sugar into every god damn thing though. That's the real "culprit" IMO. People's sugar intakes are way too high, and they don't even realize it.

I'm just gonna start living on a multivitamins and protein shakes (with water obv xD )

 

[Sempiternity]

i think i'm gonna do this

 

[ballin4life]

fruit is awesome cuz it got dem antioxidants that prevent cancer. especially berries. gotta counteract all those carcinogens right?


lol beer diet. sounds horrible also gotta get dat BROtein in yo diet
