Not sure if they’re aware, but the Balmer Peak occurs at a fairly specific BAC/intoxication level, and output quality drops off significantly after that point.

I'm pretty certain it also depends on the type of alcohol being drunk. If you're sipping expensive whiskey you start to decide that 8 GB of RAM is a lot.

Olde Fortran Malt Liquor would be a better fit for my joke. It's ok that you didn't get it.

I don't know why you're trying to imply the "blackjack and hookers" Futurama joke that we see all the time in response to stories like this is some kind of xenophobic statement.

Trying that hard to be offended all the time must be exhausting.

Seems like a good fit for the Linux community really. They're not exactly known for being buttoned down.
