  • Nah, dude, he is just stupid. That’s very on-brand for him. We are talking about a guy that suggested injecting bleach to kill the covid virus in 2020 and that was back when his dementia wasn’t ravaging him as hard as it does now.

    He is just a sociopath that faced zero consequences for his behavior throughout his whole life and now that his brain cannot keep up with the lies he constructed, it’s becoming more and more obvious. The funny thing is that this interview was published by the White House, so even his bootlickers are so fed up with him that they don’t really care to protect him anymore.














  • The figure you’ve linked plots concentration by weight (wt.%), while the alcohol content of drinks is usually given in volume percent (v/v). Ethanol is less dense than water, so a 30% concentration by weight is a higher concentration by volume.

    Imagine a 100g solution of 30wt.% alcohol. That means that 30g are ethanol and 70g are water. the 70g of water translate to 70ml volume (density 1g/ml) and the 30g of ethanol translate to 30/0.789 = 38.02ml. So in total, you would have 108.02ml of liquid and the concentration of ethanol by volume would be 38.02/108.02 = 35.2%.

    Why it gets wacky at the end: Ethanol freezes at -114°C, water freezes at 0°C, but at specific concentrations, the eutectic composition, the solution freezes at a lower point than either of its constituents. The eutectic point is the lowest possible freezing point of a solution. The formula I gave is not applicable to eutectic solutions and is an approximation based on perfect solutions (which in reality don’t really exist).





  • tl;dr Around -21°C (-9°F). Realistically probably a tad lower than that.

    Formula for freezing point depression is:

    ΔTf = i * Kf * m

    ΔTf = freezing point depression in absolute degrees (C or K)

    i = van 't Hoff factor, the number of particles the solutes splits into, ethanol does not split, so 1

    Kf = freezing point suppression constant, for water 1.86°C * kg / mol

    m = molality of the solution (aka how much you add), looked it up and it’s 11.42 mol for 40% ethanol/water mixture

    1 * 1.86 * 11.42 = 21.2412°C
    

    In reality, Jägermeister is not a pure water/ethanol mixture and all that other stuff in there drops the freezing point by a bit as well. Ethanol is the biggest contributor tho. So maybe add 1° or 2° to this.


    Is Jägermeister really that green in the US?



  • Here is a scenario that actually happened, you’ll be the judge:

    Person A is someone who, to their own admission, wanted to be friends. I know them over persons B and C, long-time friends of mine, A is very close to C. I invite A to a BBQ at my place that B and C are attending as well, they leave me on read, but tell C they’ll come, so when speaking to C shortly before the BBQ, I get told that A is coming as well. A then asks, last minute, if they can come too even tho I already know they planned to come. I brush it off as bad communication.

    Next month, pretty much the same situation. I invite A, this time telling them that they should drop a yes/no so I can plan for food. Get left on read again. At the day before the BBQ, I ask again if they’ll come, they say no. Next day, A asks if they could come despite saying no, okay well whatever. Anyway B and C arrive first and they know that A is coming too. They were told a week ago, I had no idea. Got me pissed, so I text A and ask what the fuck their deal is and now suddenly I am the clingy bad guy. B remains neutral, C takes the side of A telling me, it was my fault that it didn’t work out and that A was simply trying to surprise me.

    Anyway, I am not friends with C anymore either. Fuck that shit.
