I don’t think it’s directly related to ABV/proof, but it can definitely taste that way. “Drier” drinks tend to not mask the alcohol as much, IMO. For example, the main difference between sweet and dry vermouth is how much sugar is in them, but they tend to be basically the same ABV.

For booze, dry is the opposite of sweet.

I’ve never seen a repo so reticent to tell you what it is.

My guess is it’s the journal software running the .org but everything also seems to be down half the time.

Yeah, couldn’t care less if Chrome is faster when it is controlled by Google and actively working against extensions.

Not to mention we crossed a performance line maybe 10 years ago where browser engines on modern processors are basically trivial. Once we started having 8+ threads and the browsers got smart enough to leverage them, I’d bet bandwidth (or memory if you have many tabs), is a way more typical bottleneck.

Depends on the players. Some want to play pretend. Some want to play XCOM with dice.

Hear hear. This has Ankh Morpork written all over it.
