Decidedly mixed and increasingly right-leaning but I’m pleasantly surprised at my own experience having voice chats with diverse people who agree on one thing but disagree on just about everything else.

Tbf the rockets seem to work. Not easy to fake that.

disingenuously points to the indecipherable ToS

The solution I’m most interested in is eliminating the friction to seed/early stage funding coming directly from interested user communities and even better would be to also draw as much of the labor pool as possible from the same group.

I think this eliminates most of the misalignments in stakeholder interest.

We already have equity crowdfunding in the states. We need more innovation in crowdfunding platforms.

I locked myself out almost a year ago. Been here since the drs sub migration. Great to see PPs dive in. Good to fuckin see ya fellas!

Research suggests otherwise.

An independent analysis of 15,000 EV batteries finds that most don't need to be replaced until they're well over a decade old.

You don’t seem to actually want to discuss the implications of that point. Take care.

Can you show me where I conceded your point? That was not my intention, as I do not concede your point. To the contrary, I assume the “typical” coffee contains far less than 400mg of caffeine.

I further do not concede that the drink was adequately labeled as caffeinated. Not because I know it wasnt, I don’t, but since the girl knew she couldn’t have caffeine it seems unlikely she would intentionally ignore information about caffeine content that was adequately marked.

It’s possible she was being generally unobservant, maybe even fair to assume it, but that just brings us back around to the only point I’ve tried to make. It’s reasonable to assume lemonade is not caffeinated since AFAIK it’s pretty much always uncaffeinated. So it doesn’t necessarily matter how many beverages at the self serve were caffeinated because who has ever heard of caffeinated lemonade?

There’s no calculation she should have been expected to assume re: caffeine to volume ratio of lemonade so it’s not a stretch that she wouldn’t think to check.

The fact that any amount would have been too much was just a compounding factor in a tragedy.

The average cup of coffee has about 95mg of caffeine (found it: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/caffeine/art-20049372). So each of these lemonades she drank was over 4 cups of coffee.

If she was able to miss the labeling, which is reasonable to assume - bc she would she ignore it on purpose? - then it would have been very easy for her to ingest an extreme amount of caffeine in a short period of time, which is what I assume happened.

You used the size of the lemonade to argue its caffeine content was not excessive given the lemonade was larger in volume than a comparable coffee beverage.

But the topic of this chain started with the girl not realizing the drink was caffeinated to begin with.

The context of my question was calling into doubt the relevance of caffeine to volume ratio in defining “excessive” when the underlying issue was accidental consumption due to (alleged) poor product labeling.

Given she had a heart condition, any amount seems to have been “excessive”.

How many people are confusing a large iced coffee with a shot of espresso as a caffeine free beverage?

That’s easy. Rinse, repeat.
