Tell me about it.

I sure hope I do.

Thumbs up where?

Will do, Captain Obvious.

The key phrase was "...compared to...". It might be misleading, but we're talking in context to other more commonly available soft drinks in liters, not in relation to all available beverages. (For instance: you aren't as likely to consume a liter of beer in an open environment because that would cause pronounced intoxication, or consuming a beverage with natural sugars as opposed to HFCs would trigger a physiological shut-off response well before you get to a liter worth.) For the most part, cola sodas dominate the market and have the added detriment of caffeine which adds health problems on top of the usual for HFC related ones. Drinking a liter of cola soda boosts the consumed caffeine amounts into coffee territory which add risk to those with pulmonary and cardiovascular issues.

If anything, Sprite or Starry are of the few things I think you can down with fewer long term health issues compared to Coke, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, or the like. I don’t even really consider it a soda (although it is) because it doesn’t have cola and caffeine.

No, but I did down a liter of beer on one or two occasions.

Works for me. in all seriousness, you gotta be Westpark to be drinking a liter of anything at once.

I don’t think it would occur to me to eat a banana with sprite. Seems like it would be really sweet.

These newer units are a real pain.

Nah, it’s not you. I think it’s an automatic FB setting to keep friends from creeping on other friends. It just occurred to me I haven’t checked my permissions.

I just realized I can’t see all of your Buddy friends. Might need to check my own settings.

Also, I thought Kat Eyes was a Kat alt.

In the poorly lit, smoky corner of a seedy bar somewhere , that dude is bombing his stand up set and loving it.

This birthday thread… is ironious.

I wouldn’t want to get fucked by Ed either if I needed meds to recover.

That sounds like a failing hydraulic line or pump on your steering.

The controls are touchy. Boom out can be nerve wracking.

Happy Birthday , dude.

Why do you hate driving reach forklifts?

The news isn't suggesting we're going to war. No one is, in fact.

No, Ghosty, we are not going to war.

I'm thinking, no.

That wasn't much help, Gemini.

Besides all that, it doesn't really change the core dynamic. Disney is going to continue doing what Disney does and it's not going to listen to a lame duck district council. Like I asked, who's eating crow here? I guess the council members can say "I told you so" as WDE metaphorically rips their balls off and force feeds said balls to them.
