This is one of the most chilling movies I’ve ever seen, and it’s basically just bureaucrats sitting around a table discussing policy. Is it still available on whatever streaming service HBO turned into, or did they axe it too?

We’re restarting three mile island for this?

I’ve never had any issues with it, but I haven’t brewed anything this year due to lack of free time, so maybe/hopefully just a bad batch from SafAle?

I’ve heard nannyberries are tasty, but I’ve only ever seen them unripe in the summer. Maybe some day…

Better than a cat-less man-child.

I actually switched to Ubuntu full-time way back in 2006 when I went back to school (anthro major), specifically to help me focus when using my computer and not get distracted by playing video games. Of course, nowadays with wine and proton on steam, that might not be as effective. But it worked well for me, never experienced any issues with word docs opening in libre office (or rather open office back then) or vice versa. There was once or twice where I had to use a computer in the lab in the library to run some niche program or another for an assignment, but not a big deal.

Better than Strange Brew?

god was just trying to get Judean citizenship this whole time, and we accidentally made a religion out of it. Whoopsie doodle.

This is what I get for not reading the Terms of Service…

Wow, that last article was really interesting. I’d always heard legends of the unionization attempts in the 90s, cool to have the context of a zine by and for field techs from that time. I’ll have to spend some time on my next day off going through the archives (ten ten-hour days in a row, but apparently still not enough to be considered a “professional” archaeologist, let alone get health insurance!)

Refractometers are one of the most misunderstood tools in home brewing. The two biggest mistakes are using the sg side of a dual brix/sg scale (the conversion is non-linear, and the scale will likely become increasingly off between the two the higher the gravity), and using one like a hydrometer, ie simply subtracting final from original gravity. Instead, only use the brix side of the scale, and use a calculator such as this one to determine the actual specific gravity/abv once fermentation begins: https://www.brewersfriend.com/refractometer-calculator/ (don’t worry too much about the Wort Correction Factor.) Do that, and your refractometer will be your best friend.

This dude’s train of thought is, “my constituents are fucking morons, they’ll eat this shit up!”

It’s no Halloween III.

The lawnmower scene in Dead Alive?

“meager benefits”, I wish. I have a specialized degree and nearly 15 years of experience in CRM, and I have absolutely none. No vacation, no sick leave, no health insurance, no retirement, nada. And essentially no chance of that changing without going back to school to get a master’s, and even then no guarantee. I hear legends from time to time of field techs trying to unionize back in the 90s and getting blacklisted, hopefully this time it takes off instead.

You mean the ones where all the comments say [deleted]?

So what if you travel, can you not stream from a hotel since it’s a different IP address?

I always assumed the two communities were the result of some mod-drama/schism, if that’s not the case, nuking one makes perfect sense to me. Unfortunately the lesser used and formerly mod-abandoned community has the better underlying name, but what can you do.

I use wX from f-droid. It uses data from the National Weather Service, so it might not be useful if you are located outside the US.
