Because it's a other thing to break and if the engine is expecting water and methanol to be injected and it fails to do so you will shoot engine parts out the side of your engine.

Right it's the alcohol-like burn of menthol from the mint that feels cooling and refreshing. The slight burn feels like its cleaning.

On one hand, he and wikileaks have exposed some wrongs.

On the other hand, they smugly appointed themselves as the arbiters of right and wrong, and I have a lot of questions concerning their connections to Russia. There's a lot of shades of gray in the world, and they seem to think they have found all the dividing lines.

Fair enough, I respect it.

Carrier pigeons

I think for some of the spying they needed to get a warrant from a judge but since it was a secret it was like a sort of secret Court. Those warrants were basically always rubber stamps and the judge said yes something like 99% of the time. I think he's saying that like from now on they will only do it 95% of the time. Maybe.

At least that's my understanding. Too lazy to look it up so I'll wait for somebody to correct me

And that video about van...

Sucks the world we live in. People don't give a fk as long as they are not affected monetarily.

Also we’ve been ingrained to associate mint with freshness, gum, literal breath mints, mouthwash, etc.

I can’t even eat mint food because I associate it with stuff you spit out.

Glutamic acid can also be found in high concentrations in all sorts of normal foods.

Carrots, mushrooms, and seaweed are all high in glutamic acid. Parmesan cheese is 1.6% by weight raw glutamic acid. Eggs are 10-11% glutamic acid.

Atlantic cod is 15 grams per 6 oz portion.

There were many people who survived the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, although most are dead now (and not necessarily of nuclear-related reasons).

And a lot of them are young . I hate to say it as an excuse but they almost, kinda, don't know any better besides "let's fuckin' kill the enemy" and they don't even know why.

I did wanna say that when the PRISM program was exposed, me and a few of my tech friends did become more privacy/security oriented. (Hence the name haha) And I think in general a lot of folk became more privacy focused.

They basically just imposed a load of legislation to make it actually legal, provided it was done under certain circumstances, and also by essentially spying on other allied country's people and sharing the information as part of the "Five Eyes". UK passed the "snoopers charter" and the US passed the "patriots act" and all of a sudden its now legal and they don't have to tell you anything about it.

Becouse there is the chemical balance tilted, so only bacteria that are needed to make alcohol out of it will live through that. Things that would usually take over and do the rotting can't live there. Things don't rot by themselves, there is fungus and bacteria doing it, and they need usual environment to live. There is ton of CO2 created in that process, that taxes O2 away, that's main cause of death of things in this kind of basement, including people.

Sometimes perception is reality

Nitrogen gas really likes being a gas. You have to put a lot of energy into breaking it apart. Like lightning strike levels of energy. Indeed lightning strikes are responsible for turning a significant amount of nitrogen into ammonia. But, lightning is not the main source of usable nitrogen. Aside from human production of ammonia for fertilizer, bacteria are main fixers of nitrogen.

There are a family of enzymes (Nitrogenase) that can be used to reduce the amount of energy required to turn nitrogen gas into something useable by plants. However, this enzyme breaks down in the presence of oxygen. Unlike nitrogen, oxygen gas isn't particularly happy being a gas all itself and will react with nitrogen compounds quite readily (fertilizer is known for being explosive, and the N in TNT stands for nitrogen). Plants are heavily involved with oxygen, either producing it during the day or consuming it at night. If plants tried to produce this enzyme for themselves it would rapidly break down in the presence of the oxygen being produced by photosynthesis.

As such, nitrogen fixation is left to the bacterial specialists.

Wow.

Awesome, thank you! So it still is probably going on but is deemed illegal?

Go after it? Both parties loved it, they voted to extend it a couple of times even.

And after being literally raised on ad after ad after ad talking about "minty fresh breath" - we now are conditioned to believe mint is, in fact, "refreshing" - whether it is to us personally or not.

I was aware of it when it first came out, then I had some family problems, saw that EU made decisions and after that I forgot about it like the forgetful person I am. Remembered it every now and then but never saw anything.

So, I have a bit of insight as I used to associate with some NSA agents.

As of 2021, the NSA is still fully capable of reading emails, accessing webcams, and monitoring cell communications. All without the users consent.

I am willing to bet there access is larger then what I've discovered/been told.

Product testing. Product testing. Product testing. Then more product testing.

These companies do lots and lots of tests with people, surveys, and all sorts of stuff before they ever ever put a product out on the shelf-- in other words, they tried a ton of stuff and the flavors you see out there are the ones that worked the best.

Mint tends to have a "refreshing" feel, flavor and smell, so is often used to indicate something being clean and fresh.

Lets just take an example. Would you want brownie flavored toothpaste? Probably not, you'd feel like it didn't clean because you just had a whole brownie and its full of chocolate and sugar, that doesn't feel like your mouth is clean. Or would you want banana flavored? Well some people HATE banana flavor, so no luck, you just lost a big audience and others may not want to have banana in their mouth for a few minutes every day, if they did they'd eat a banana.

As an aside, cinnamon used to be around a little bit but has fallen off. Bubble gum flavor (generally meant for kids) can still be found!

"On June 21, 2013, the United States Department of Justice unsealed charges against Snowden of two counts of violating the Espionage Act of 1917 and theft of government property,[7] following which the Department of State revoked his passport.[8] Two days later, he flew into Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport, where Russian authorities observed the canceled passport, and he was restricted to the airport terminal for over one month. Russia later granted Snowden the right of asylum with an initial visa for residence for one year, which was subsequently repeatedly extended. In October 2020, he was granted permanent residency in Russia.[9] In September 2022, Snowden was granted Russian citizenship by President Vladimir Putin.[10]"

"On September 2, 2020, a U.S. federal court ruled in United States v. Moalin that the U.S. intelligence's mass surveillance program exposed by Snowden was illegal and possibly unconstitutional.[24]"

Here's your answer OP ^

All these idiot Redditors not actually knowing the answer and saying whatever they want because... "cynicism is my personality trait"

Inb4 something being illegal and possibly unconstitutional doesn't actually mean anything.

Wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone by making them fill up with gas AND water.

Similarly, you can eliminate much of the nitric oxide and other damaging chemicals by mixing diesel with a bit of propane. Propane injection has been used by tuners for years to make their diesels go really fast.

https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/872095/

So why don't we do that? Well, because it is more convenient to replace diesel exhaust controls (the blue liquid) every 6 months than it is to add propane every fill-up, despite it being a better for the environment and better for the engine.
