Quarian breast milk is likely to be extremely sweet: The L-(+)-Lactose component of milk gives it a slightly sour taste (as it's more likely to ferment), while D-(+)-Lactose, A.K.A. milk sugar, gives it a sweet taste. Both are present in common breast milk, the levo one is just more common. I reckon the opposite is true for quarians.

But that's not the only thing...

Available in breast milk, is the essential amino acid L-Phenylalanine, the body converts this in Tyrosine, which is, in its turn, converted into all sorts of proteins and brain chemicals. (Like adrenaline)

However, its dextro counterpart, has a different function for humans. It prohibits the enzymes that naturally break down endorphin, resulting in an extreme sense of bliss, power, and prohibiting your pain receptors from sending their chemicals to your brain.

Nope, it's someone putting an unhealthy amount of thought into what a female alien character's breast milk would be like because the base structure of her DNA is fundamentally different to that of Earth animals and Humans. :barf:

If the ending to ME3 involves drinking from alien tits, I think you will probably hear more positive words about it.

I think (hope) it's a parody of an infamous post on the Bioware forums where somebody wrote out an enormously detailed analysis of what an alien girl's sweat tasted like.

Bioware mocked it in the third game where the alien girl basically says "It's sweat, what the gently caress is wrong with you?"

The Villages is the sprawling olds-only mecca of central FL. I've seen some real poo poo on some commercial service calls up there, I can't imagine what some of those piece of poo poo houses were put together like.

And yeah, 25MPH is speed racing and golf carts are street legal, geezers get plates and everything. You even see snowbirds with out of state tags on their golf carts.

My folks thought it seemed like a good place to retire and bought a home there. Sold it less than a year later because the place is full off assholes. Glen Beck and Sarah Palin spoke there multiple times during their stint. The houses are pretty well built, though, My dad is a stickler for that sort of thing.

Whole place is full of sinkholes, though. Houses disappearing and poo poo, and they try to cover it up.

Florida apparently has retirement communities that are full of sinkholes as well. It's like the planet is correcting the worse human offenses without letting us resort to outright murder.

nothin' wrong with a lady drinkin' alone in her room
True story- a friend of mine had to spend some time in Sarasota for work a few years ago. During the orientation thing, the speaker warned them not to walk anywhere unless absolutely necessary, simply because of the sheer amount of senile, half-blind 90+ year olds driving around. Old people hold so much sway around there that they probably wouldn't get their licenses taken away unless they actually managed to kill someone, and the amount of vehicle on pedestrian accidents is apparently huge. Florida sounds like such a nightmare.

You could probably make a decent living moving to Florida and brake-checking the elderly.

2 or 3 "ow my back" cases a year and you're set.

Probably be simpler to just mug them. Old people are constantly terrified so even the ones that aren't to infirm to fight back would probably be too scared to.

What you're describing is called, by some in the industry, as a "swoop and squat" - as in change lanes, brake check, "ow my back". For people in Florida, it has the side effect of getting you that sweet sweet opioid prescription so you can get hooked on the junk that's killing the half of the state that's not already knocking on deaths door.

Joke's on you, minimum insurance required to drive in Florida is only like $10K USD per accident at most. If you didn't have your own car insurance your medical expenses would probably be coming out of that too.

This of course assumes they're driving with valid insurance, big if.
