You can get permament drunk guy syndrome/brain damage (people who look drunk even when sober) from consuming too much in a short period (chugging like crazy), so that one party can potentially fuck you up more than periodical drinking. I think it was called alcoholic cerebellar degeneration. This is why I refuse to touch strong drinks like vodka and whenever I drink beer, I take a sip once per minute or two, not chug the can in 5 minutes, and never drink again in the next few days.

Consume your drugs responsibly, people.

Nah. Heat is a real issue on the space station. Maybe a 6 pack for the three Xonauts that were up there, but excess sweating and excess heat production is a real concern for the ISS, or really any spacecraft, they have heatsinks that stick into a vacuum, and that is the problem. The vacuum is only ≈3K, or -270.15° C, but a vacuum is not particularly receptive to heat dispersal. Up on the ISS or any other spacecraft, you really wouldn't want alcohol at all. It would absolutely cause you to burn too hot, causing excess heat to be introduced into the system.

Weed edibles should be a better option. Specifically NOT flower or concentrates since even a vape is going to be introducing, potentially, too much heat into the craft.

Actually, I wanna see some Xonauts do some Shrooms.

I'm not sure whether that's a hot take, and I know there are different levels of tolerance, but I think you might have a problem if you drink 20 beers in 2-3 days (assuming 4-6% alcohol). Or at least you will probably have, starting day 2

NASA once asked astronaut Sally Ride if 100 tampons would be enough for her week-long mission in space, but she later clarified that this number was excessive. While the engineers were concerned about potential needs, Ride humorously noted that a much smaller amount would suffice.

I mean, if you’re doing a full weekend of activities with friends those beers could be spaced out far enough that you’re never more than slightly buzzed (small cans, <5%ABV). But yeah, if it’s a regular thing, it’s not a great look.

27? 30. 37? 2.

37! my girlfriend sucked 37 dicks!

As a purist, we can agree that the only real series was TNG, this was the cornerstone, built on the hallowed but kind of silly ground made by the original series, but followed by DS9 when we grew up a little, and we can kinda accept Voyager was a thing that happened somewhere in the distance but we don't get too close.

There was nothing else. The franchise ended and we all moved on, happy for the good run. "ALL GOOD THINGS..."

NASA, with the tampons.

I prefer my backup plans to include "halt and catch fire"

The vacuum is only ≈3K, or -270.15° C, but a vacuum is not particularly receptive to heat dispersal.

This is true for all of the black parts of the sky.

It is not true for that big yellow ball that shines on the space station half of the time. That big yellow ball is as bright and hot as a hot desert day on the surface. Daylight can raise the vacuum temp up to +250 or +300 C. And it also means that the night time temps don't cool down all the way to 3K.

So the ISS is continuously exposed to these thermal cycles on the outside. As a heat load these should dwarf any marginal heat loads introduced by whatever recreational drugs. And the station has to have radiator capacity handle it all plus margin. Remember, too, that the ISS crew also has to do hard exercise 2 hours per day.

this kind of negativity doesn't help Star Wars, or any fandom.

I guess you missed the part where he quoted the exact part of your comment that he was replying to. Or do you just want to ignore that part so you don’t have to defend it?

Yeah I've spoken to enough young people who watched the prequels first that I no longer begrudge them their nostalgia.

I just don't share it, and that's ok. I'd rather define myself by what I enjoy than what I turn my nose up at.

Speaking of, have you heard the good word of Andor?? It's the best thing to happen to Star Wars since greebles!!!

Focus that energy on areas that are making people actually contentious and hateful towards each other like rampant capitalistic greed, subversion of democracy and internet grifters who manufacture hate for engagement. Talking shit about the shows we like and don't like is fun.

People have been debating their standards for media, entertainment and franchises for longer than we have written history. Literally, look up Roman graffiti. It's fine, it's fun even. If you're seeing malice and stress in these kinds of debates, you need to back away from it entirely for a bit. Just don't get involved, stay healthy.

Yeah if you crack open the first cold one at noon when it gets hot while you're helping with some outdoors work and finish your last one at 3 AM talking shit with your friends, you probably never get drunk with those amounts. If you drink it all over 4 hours per evening, different story.

Yeah at the slow paces outside you're more likely to get dehydrated than drunk.
