Didn't have to. Kind of an obvious thing to point out, but OP didn't specify what type of pain he meant, so I figured I would, just in case.

Physical pain? Zero.

Now emotional pain? I'm not sure it would even be able to accomplish emotional pain. So much of our emotions are intertwined with chemical balances and releases. If a brain achieved consciousness, but had none of these chemicals at all......I don't know that'd even work.

I rather liked it. I mean he was just re-phrasing questions he's seen without having to bother with direct quotes and making sure the questions were articulate.

It's pretty important to get this info out there and make sure everyone and their 2nd cousin knows about it. If Microsoft can't make this absolutely infallible on a security front it will almost be laughable at how many people could get completely fucked over by this. Every hacker and country in the world are going to be poking at the security of this feature. It would be the holy grail of infosec penetration.

There's over 9,000 breweries in the US, and you'll find many aren't all hopped up ipas. Go do some googles searching, maybe take a Lil tour if they'll show you around, and just start trying to buy from the source when you find something you like. There's likely one near you.

I took it as Fry is drinking non American beer, because American beer tastes like water.

But really, outside of a couple large national beer chains that sell their low cost "bud, coors, Busch, natty" America has a shit ton of small breweries that make a large variety of beers that aren't that way. There's literally over 9,000 operating breweries in the US.

Went back and did some reading. It was an arcade game called punch out that came out around 1984. Vodka Drunkinski. No Mike Tyson.

Nes got the rights to make a console game but their "family friendly" mantra called for him to be renamed to not be alcohol related.

The NES release of Punch out in Japan had 10,000 gold cartridges given away as prizes and such in Japan a bit before launch. No Tyson.

Then Nintendo of America's founder and president went and watched a Mike Tyson boxing mach, a bit before he ever became World Champ, and was like "daaaaaaaaaamn. We need him in our game as the final champ".

They signed a 3 year deal to use his name and likeness for the now "Mike Tysons Punch-out" in exchange for $50,000. You could say it was a small amount, but no one knew how popular the game would be and it was risking that maybe he wouldn't ever even become champ and he was getting added into the game completely last minute.

So MTPO dropped in 1987, Tyson Became world champ in 1987 (cause he was a scary flipping beast in the late 80's), the game was a huge hot (obvs) and if you own the cartridge from 87 through 90 you get to have MT in it. Everything released after 1990 is no Tyson, including any digital downloads and wii version or switch or whatever. It has a fictional "Mr.Dream".

So you want Mike, you have to pirate it, or you have to own a cartridge from the first few release years.

So in the non US game version, Soda Popinski is named Vodka Dunkenski.

Survive round one and tyson gets a bit easier.

I still have this game on my still working NES from 1987. MTPO and Tecmo Bowl are still fantastic.

*edit. That's supposed to be "Drunkinski".

Containing it for a while seems to be super hard. It's really corrosive to most anything that can withstand the heat and pressure. Basically, they haven't managed to make plumbing that works for it. Liquid salt gets mad at shit all the time.

So lithium is OK, so long as it's cheap and gotten off the backs of chinese?

We haven't doubled at all over the past 15 years, though. That's completely false. Not in capacity or cycles.
