- Comment on I made a killer wort :( 15 hours ago:
Hmm. My one time I had a completely stuck fermentation like this, I tried a bunch of stuff like messing with the pH and repitching. The only thing that eventually worked was starting something new and pouring the old batch on top of it at the peak of the ferment. It came out okay in the end. Only bothered because it was like $90 of orange blossom honey at stake.
- Comment on I made a killer wort :( 1 day ago:
The main ingredient in any brewing is patience. I hope you’ll give it time. It hasn’t ever happened to me but I have heard stories of worts that fermented this way. Think of a number of days you’d consider waiting for results, double it, and add a week. While you wait, buy a hydrometer.

It’s insanely broken and dangerous. If money was gravity they’d be black holes, disrupting everything in the galaxy. Someday we’ll all be gone, and all that’s left will be one self-important machine counting all the money in the world until its circuits burn out. The heat death of capitalism.

I’m not sure how to interpret your counterpoint. Can you clarify? It’s an unprofitable business model unless people pay and don’t use it?

The choice was well made. It’s only a shame you couldn’t have caused them more trouble.
- Comment on A US citizen was held for pickup by ICE even after proving he was born in the country 4 days ago:
We’ve been calling them fascists for quite a while, but merely being 100% correct, warning everyone constantly for a decade or more, peacefully protesting, voting every election, donating to elections, writing voteforward letters to increase turnout, watching the news, carefully disregarding propaganda, knowing the relevant history, standing up to close friends who fell for it, and boycotting all corporate media that enables the fascists was never going to be enough to stop fascism. What a fool I was for ever hoping so.
No, fascists have only ever been stopped in one manner.

I don’t actually disagree with anything you said, I was just being a bit cheeky

Context clues are enough for me, 4/7 times

Coldest take: if any common date format is difficult for you, you’re a little bit ridiculous

What a treat, and what a win for self-hosting. I wish they talked more about how they did it in the article.

If I saw a guy at the bus stop hitting himself in the head with a hammer I’d be kind of afraid.

“When”?

This is easily the most interesting thing anyone has said to me on the internet in ages.
Why cracked and not crushed? Does the powder mix and create a weird residue?

The people who enjoyed the joke just upvote and move on. But yes, we do have a lot of folks who do not embrace obliquity.

My kid and I finished this game late last year and it’s his all time fav. We love this!

I know you’ve got the experience advantage on me, so I’ll take that onboard. I bet it’s still an issue with mead making though. I would love to make a high ABV mead without having to fuss about step feeding.
- Comment on Should we boycott games with loot boxes? 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t been into FPS for several years, but if I was going to play anything current, I’d give The Forever Winter a look. It’s still being worked on, but the early access gameplay is really cool looking, and it’s bringing a lot of ideas to the table creatively.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller is only compatible with GameCube games, Nintendo says 2 weeks ago:
You just got done telling me they are reporting as fact something that is likely not so, and now you are scoffing at me for not having wasted my time. If there is any reason for this article to still be published or even discussed, it has eluded me.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller is only compatible with GameCube games, Nintendo says 2 weeks ago:
Oh, so it’s just ragebait and they’re reporting on nothing? I fell for it.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller is only compatible with GameCube games, Nintendo says 2 weeks ago:
It’s so stupid. I have literally plugged GC controllers into my Switch with an adapter hub, and they worked with non-GC games. This is deliberately worse.

Holy smokes. What’s this about “very high nitrogen demand”? Do you think it needs extra nutrients/DAP?

Sorry for that, it gets hard sometimes when I start accidentally living the examined life for a second

It’s Watchguard. Though looking at their site, it seems like there might be support that I wasn’t able to find last time I looked into this. Definitely want to dual boot at some point. I’ve got a Surface Book 3 though, and I know it needs special kernel stuff to get working properly, so I’d almost rather just wait until my boss retires and everyone’s out of a job to dive into Linux. Easier than finding spare time in my life. Living the dream

I want to move to Linux, but I need to be able to use the VPN service my work uses and I’m just not sure how to get it working on Linux. I should just dual boot.
