SoylentNews hack explores the seedy underworld of "flavor tripping". See this thread.
Before I started, I used a tongue scraper to clean my tongue. There was some anecdotal talk somewhere of that helping absorption. Probably a good idea anyway.
The effect didn't last very long... about 15 minutes, which is on the short end of the expected 15 minute to 2 hours duration. However there seemed to be a bit of a residual aftereffect where the lemon would still taste a little sweeter... just sour as well. It's hard to tell, and that's a good thing!
Unfortunately, I forgot I had homemade lemon curd and lime curd in the fridge. That would have been perfect to try slathered on a ginger snap.
For roughly $1.50 per attempt per person, I'd say flavor tripping is well worth it.
Neat Trick!

Uncertain Propulsion Breakthroughs?
Further into the article, they really trash the recent peer-reviewed paper for having several flaws.
Overview
Technical
(1) The experimental methods and resulting data indicate a possible new force-producing effect, but not yet satisfying the threshold of “extraordinary evidence for extraordinary claims” – especially since this is a measurement of small effects.
(2) The propulsion physics explanations offered, which already assume that the measured force is real, are not sound.
(3) Experiments have been conducted on other anomalous forces, whose fidelity and implications merit comparable scrutiny, specifically Jim Woodward’s “Mach Effect Thruster.”
Implications
(1) If either the EmDrive or Mach Effect Thrusters are indeed genuine, then new physics is being discovered – the ramifications of which cannot be assessed until after those effects are sufficiently modeled. Even if it turns out that the effects are of minor utility, having new experimental approaches to explore unfinished physics would be valuable.
(2) Even if genuine, it is premature to assess the potential utility of these devices. Existing data only addresses some of the characteristics necessary to compare with other technologies. At this point, it is best to withhold judgment, either pro or con.
Pitfalls to Avoid
(1) The earlier repeated tactic, to attempt fast and cheap experimental tests, has turned out to be neither fast nor cheap. It’s been at least 14 years since the EmDrive first emerged (2002) and despite numerous tests, we still lack a definitive conclusion.
(2) In much the same way that thermal and chamber effects are obscuring the force measurements, our ability to reach accurate conclusions is impeded by our natural human behavior of jumping to conclusions, confirmation biases, sensationalism, and pedantic reflexes. This is part of the reality that also needs understanding so that we can separate those influences from the underlying physics.

OK, I've really done it this time...
One of the things that Turgid jr. got for Christmas was a new Android tablet. It's useless.
Mrs Turgid suggested buying some kind of Amazon kids tablet, and I looked them up on line and they didn't look all that great, certainly not for playing Pokemon Go.
So I asked some of the guys at work about tablets for children. They said you can set up an unprivileged user account in Android and lock it down pretty well so that it's mostly safe for supervised use.
With that in mind I went online and ordered a 10" Acer tablet (Acer Iconia One 10) and lo and behold Acer have removed the ability to create multiple user accounts.
It's my own stupid fault for not unpacking it and trying it out as soon as I bought it. I could have sent it back...
To be honest, it never occurred to me that a manufacturer would remove the ability to have multiple user accounts. It just seems crazy...
Needless to say, this creates a tricky situation. How do you explain to a 7-year-old that Santa Claus is an idiot?
Can I root the machine and put something sane on it?

The God Kek demands many more human sacrifices, otherwise Trump will continue to discard all of his campaign promises. Sacrifice children for the glory of Kek and the success of Trump.
Update: The child sacrifices have satisfied Kek, and Trump will continue his policy of draining the swamp.
