Irrefutable Logic: Cliff Clavin on Why Beer Makes You Smarter - ManMadeDIY

Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

GitHub - basiliscos/syncspirit: continuous file synchronization program (BEP protocol implementation) · GitHub

syncspirit is a continuous file synchronization program, which synchronizes files between devices. It is built using the C++ rotor actor framework. It implements the BEP-protocol for files synchronization, or, simplistically speaking, it is a syncthing-compatible synchronization program at protocol level, which uses the syncthing infrastructure (for global discovery and relaying).

Despite being functional, syncspirit is less feature-rich than syncthing and is still in heavy development
