* [https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/33979 DRINK ALCOHOL GODDAMNIT]. If you drink juuuust the right amount of alcohol, you can research new technologies faster. However, if you drink too much alcohol, you research new technologies slower. As a scientist, instead of slurring, you start shouting out phrases from the pool below. Some of these phrases signify good blood alcohol levels, some of them signify pretty damn unhealthy blood alcohol levels.

Ballmer Phrases: The Good Sayings (indication that you've drank enough alcohol to get that sweet tech boost)

* Hey guys, what if we rolled out a bluespace wiring system so mice can't destroy the powergrid anymore?
* Hear me out here. What if, and this is just a theory, we made R&D controllable from our PDAs?
* I'm thinking we should roll out a git repository for our research under the AGPLv3 license so that we can share it among the other stations freely.
* I dunno about you guys, but IDs and PDAs being separate is clunky as fuck. Maybe we should merge them into a chip in our arms? That way they can't be stolen easily.
* Why the fuck aren't we just making every pair of shoes into galoshes? We have the technology.

Windows ME Phrases: The Bad Sayings (indication that you've drank too much alcohol, please don't do RnD)

* Yo man, what if, we like, uh, put a webserver that's automatically turned on with default admin passwords into every PDA?
* So like, you know how we separate our codebase from the master copy that runs on our consumer boxes? What if we merged the two and undid the separation between codebase and server?
* Dude, radical idea: H.O.N.K mechs but with no bananium required.
* Best idea ever: Disposal pipes instead of hallways.
