Replying to the actual comment would have been a start too. Damn decaf coffee. Evil stuff.

Sweet. I wonder if I can spam everyone on this list with just one reply.

"Political headwinds" is putting it mildly.

Yo dawg, I heard you like galaxies....

It's good practice to replace all the batteries at the same time regardless. If one is dying, they probably all are. Discharge rates will be different, so not all batteries will be fully dead. If you replace one fire detector, replace them all.

Safety equipment is best managed equally and a little bit of waste is acceptable. (Waste being: replacing a not dead battery in this case.) Consistent processes, no matter how simple, are important. Use the almost dead batteries for something else if you want, but not safety equipment.

Growlers come in 32oz and 64oz bottles. My old grocery store in NC used to sell them.

Cold brew coffee is probably the most logical to sell in volume, and it's available as well.

Fatty liver or rotten teeth... Tough choice.

Not a nutritional expert or anything, but I'll take some guesses.

Generally, it depends on how you spread out your activities, if you are going to be active. If you aren't going to be active, it doesn't matter when or how you eat them.

Still, high fructose corn syrup needs to be broken down by the liver before it can be used by your body. It doesn't seem that it would get quickly used as an energy source, active or not. Spreading out the load over the day might be better for your liver and give you more opportunities to burn that energy. That is just speculation though.

If you eat a whole bag, then immediately run 10 miles, you are just going to vomit most of it out. Sounds like a win to me! (Doctor recommended. For realsies. /s)

I just had a capacitor bite me for the first time and I have been working with electronics for years. I was just fixing a simple power brick and the primary filter cap (120v @ 1500uF) was holding a nasty charge. (The DC side caps had their magic smoke released already.)

It actually hurt! I have been shocked many times, but nothing was ever like that.

You paid for a Reddit account? I was on there for 11 years and I don't recall an option to pay for an account. (I probably just ignored it.. Was it an ad-free thing?)

Both Buddhism and Taoism have some really good aspects. I would say they are philosophies and not religions and probably not in the context of a "faith" for this post. (If someone else wants to consider Buddhism a religion, you go right ahead. I won't argue but assume I silently disagree.)

I am absolutely atheist, but still having some guiding principles is still important. If a concept sounds good and seems like it has good intentions I'll just add it to my collection, discarding any pointless rituals or "magic".

Doing good things makes me feel good and I like feeling good. I say that it's ok borrow from any ideology that has well intentioned principles.

I'll add the disclaimer that the term "good" is subjective and I still had to learn what "good" means to me over the years. Buddhism and Taoism have always been aligned with the way I perceive life and are decent enough to extrapolate what the word "good" should mean.

Am I dual faith? No. If we ever get in a deep discussion about core ideals, there are going to be similar concepts I share with many religions, though.
