Sausage on bread with tomato sauce seems to be the standard Australian fare.

The Wiki article seems to be generally accurate except for the part where Vegemite is described as a "popular breakfast food".

I drank an energy drink with 200 mg of caffine and then I drank a frappucino, if I drink another energy drink of 200 mg of caffine am I going to start having caffine pisionig issues?

Yes, I see it has already taken its toll on your mental faculties, your spelling ability has degraded quite a bit.

If you have a low tolerance and a weight of around 150lb, then you are already caffeine intoxicated. If your stomach feels a tiny bit queasy, you're sweating a bit more, are slightly more restless than you're pretty much definitely suffering already. If you have that second drink, you're guaranteed to be in the 'intoxication' zone.

On the other hand, if you have a high tolerance, you can probably get to around 600-700mg of caffeine before you start really feeling it.

Besides the possible headache and gastrointestinal disturbance, this intoxication should have no bad effects. If you regularly get to this state you will end up building a tolerance as well as general dependency on caffeine.

A chiropractor is to Chiropractic what a neurologist to Neurology.

Are stars in close binary orbits more prone to dangerous flares than stars without a stellar companion?

 

[cardgame]

I would assume so, but to be honest I have no clue.

Why is OT so freaking popular?

 

[Takhisis]

That question does not have an answer.

Why is OT so freaking popular?

Because it is Off Topic and just about anything goes here... hence the name is very appropriate; even if you veer off topic in a discussion, that's generally fine provided it's a constructive discussion of sorts.

Current events, thoughts, experiences, and of course, what OT is infamous for: insanity and politics. Which of those is more popular, I do not know. I think they mix more often than not.

The diversity of potential issues naturally attracts many people... or at least tons of spectators who watch the big dogs here tear eachother's throats out over simple disagreements.

Why is OT so freaking popular?

Most of us are sad, boring, lonely people with nothing better to do. As for me, this place is my only escape from the drudgery of work and family.

Why do Germans and Austrians have an obsession with asparagus (spargel)?

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Because OT has:

1. Fun political debate
2. Awesome people

Which I do not get enough of without it.

 

[Dachs]

1. is an oxymoron :3

 

[Shekwan]

What is a "ky-row-practer"?

People who want to make their back fetish their career.

Why is OT so freaking popular?

It allows people to unleash their pent up douchebaggery on strangers.

At least thats how I use it.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

I remember seeing a while ago a gif or a vid of a radar or computer enhanced image of planes going in and out of an airport and avoiding an approaching storm cell at the same time.

Where is it?

 

[Karalysia]

It allows people to unleash their pent up douchebaggery on strangers.

Oh god yes. This.
