  • Also, sour patch kids have a weird ingredient in the coating that most electrolyte stuff doesn’t have. Potassiumsomething something, irrc?

    Probably you’re referring to tartaric acid, potassium bitartrate. It’s added to candy to stabilize invert sugars, keeping them from crystallizing. You can buy it in powder form, usually called cream of tartar.

    I don’t know what it does for hydration, but I suppose it would help top up potassium levels.













  • It’s a shame 'cause SC2 had some genuinely awesome ideas, like the Allied Commander mode. Probably the best casual online gameplay of any RTS, which frankly every other RTS ever made should copy.

    Unfortunately every other RTS only tries to copy the sweaty multiplayer 1v1 experience. Like playing guitar hero on expert mode on your mouse and keyboard while also doing strategy at the same time.

    Even more unfortunately no one seems to be able to execute even that part half as well as Blizzard did.






  • Reddit would become just another instance with no API control

    Being that large of an instance gives a lot of api control all by itself. Theoretically Chrome is just another browser and member of WHATWG. in practice, if they implement something it immediately becomes a de facto standard. Reddit would be the same.

    I wouldn’t bet on Huffman’s exit doing anything of consequence either. Reddit is now under the control of investors who want a return. One way or another, monetisation of users will increase.
