- Comment on Someone should digitally remake the Bourne movies and make everyone in the films Jason Bourne 1 week ago:
That would get me to watch them, I would watch TF out of “Bourne: Multiply The Fun”! I gave up after the 2nd film and the 50th cryptic dialogue about Treadstone, I realized I didn’t care any more what whoever did to turn him into a SuuperSekritAgent. WTF was it that made Bourne 3 to Infinity so dull? Skilled supporting actors, exotic locations, a semblance of a plot arc…
- Comment on Where should I start? Absolute newb with a kit 2 weeks ago:
Just go with the least expensive but still fresh stuff, just enough for one batch. Don’t let the brew shop sell you a ton of stuff you don’t need right away. Careful. :)
- Comment on Where should I start? Absolute newb with a kit 2 weeks ago:
This is a great idea. Use the kit ingedients to practice the PROCESS and test your existing equipment, even if it’s just a stock pot and strainers on your kitchen stove, that’s a great place to start. The main thing is sanitation. Got any brewing sanitizer?
- Comment on Where should I start? Absolute newb with a kit 2 weeks ago:
Hang on to the hops, aged or “cheesy” hops can be great for brewing certain styles, like lambics. They can add desirable flavors because they are aged. Just makes sure that they’re not moldy. The good oils/volatiles may still be in those cones!

I was just reading an 1829 recipe book to help me sleep and it has happens to have 30 ways to make raisin wine. Discard sleep mission, acquire raisin wine hyperfixation.
- Comment on Ancient Olmec rubber balls to be preserved with anoxia technology 1 month ago:
Fascinating. You know, they seem to be really up on this technology at the Steamship Arabia museum in Kansas City {midwest US}. They have anoxia rooms, in their research facilities, for preserving thousands of leather and other organics excavated from an low oxygen environment, i.e., the buried steamship Arabia The archivists also use chemical freezing to preserve artifacts that would crumble if exposed to ambient conditions, perhaps ethanol?

I downvoted your comments because I’m petty and it’s fun and it doesn’t matter very much. We started out all high minded and now we’re here, in the mud, slinging mud, like the Jacobins. So you win. Here’s a box of wheat starch for your 'do, live it up.

Yeah, I saw one that got so ugly, IIRC one admin stepped in to say “hi”. It was the split between the c/Risa mod and some commenters, leading the rise of c/TenForward. Was this a year and a half ago?!

I don’t know if this is even about Elon any more, it’s grown so much. Like a mushroom on a cow patty.

Wow, you’re calling me out too and I’m not even a mod any more. Keep that powdered wig high and lice-free, Robespierre.

Thanks for the context and for cross posting, this is turning into an interesting discussion across a wider variety of skill sets. Skill sets, as in the following: power users, people who don’t like mods and have done it before, people who have never modded but know exactly how it should be done, basic end users who are former mods.

Today I learned! I’m surprised, knowing what I know now, that I haven’t been banned from more sublemmys. Ah, well. The day is young.

Did you use juniper berries for the traditional flavor? Just curious
- Comment on I made a killer wort :( 6 months ago:
Don’t throw it out yet. Buy a hydrometer and look into your temperature control. Your other equipment sounds expensive, a hydrometer is far cheaper than your other stuff or throwing out a wort. (I had to learn the hard way that ferm temperature is everything, regardless of the cost or quantity of my yeast.)

Was the craft beer fest good? What did they have?

Nice! Hope you have a wonderful time with all the beer they have to offer.

“Peach’s Revenge” lambic just started her year long aging process in a 5 gallon glass carboy. She turned into a multi fruit blend when I ran out of peaches, shhh, don’t tell her.
- Comment on What's brewing? April 2025 6 months ago:
Do you like Belgian lambics? I’m a bit obsessed with brewing them, since they are hard to find for purchase where I live. Very limited selection when you do find them.

Hey Dave, I like how our little niche communities are all connected to each other, it’s like a prairie dog town. You can pop your head up anywhere and meet other little dogs! Glad you popped up here! IMHO, this instance is the most welcoming, when you’re new to an interest group/niche, shitizens reach out and explain how federation works, lore, etc. Big hearts.

You got a point, it is difficult to sort out the bots from the tankies when it comes to international political content here or on lemmy.world. I don’t want to yell at tankies any more, they are real humans who are literally earning their bread.

Word. Powerful message I’d like to see pinned everywhere at this time of year. Might help a user to put off doing something drastic for another day. Of course, I’d give such a message a Christian spin and ruin it. XD
