  • Start the little devils running boxes of punch cards, then make them sneak into the lab at night to write their own punch card software for games and secret messages. How else are we going to get them ready for the real world?

  • Before we even say what company, I know I'm not betting a single penny that they're not.

  • By then we'll have had every iota of fun imaginable, and some fun that yet remains unimaginable. You'll have to nihilism harder to bum me out.

  • "Life finds a way" is a threat, people just forgot that part. Life itself is unstoppable.

  • I guess you've got a type, eh?

  • I don't think it's racist to talk about the practical necessity of parenthood for the species to continue, it's just that a lot of racist people talk about it a lot with a specific outcome in mind.

  • It is remarkable that there are still people with whom their goodwill is not entirely spent. They really had us in the early years.

  • I don't mind that as much as the boomer thing of adding ellipses at the end of every text. Especially extra strength ellipses........ Horrid writing style

    Edit: I wrote an 8-dot ellipses and Lemmy truncated it to three. I just love that.

  • It's true about buying bottles in volume. I eventually just ordered boxes of bottled beer from Ocado to avoid having to haul them home myself.

  • I had to give away my prized glass when I moved from the states to the UK, I miss them. Definitely going to get more when I can finally put down roots. Plastic is certainly doable, it just isn't as pleasing.

  • I did that batch in a 54 litre demijohn. There was so much! You can be sure I tried ice distilling some of it, but it was such a lot of work. Tasty though.

  • It does get expensive fast. My first attempt at mead was a 5 gallon batch (sack mead, targeting like 18%) with all orange blossom honey. I don't even remember what it cost, but I totally failed.

    Luckily I was able to salvage it by dumping it onto another ferment in progress, turning it into a cyser made with cosmic crisp apple juice. It was just rocket fuel in the end, though.

  • More like Crack Rock

  • I want to get back into mead making. Crazy how fake most honey is, how do you manage? Do you just have to know a beekeeper?

  • He's a perennially uncomfortable weird sonofabitch

  • This was a fun read, thanks.

    It could be some people digest capsaicin more than others. I've had my fair share of the (I want to say) second highest types of spicy. Your ghost peppers, your birds eyes, Thai red chillis, etc. Hardly anything over a million scoville. I get the afterburn from some of it. But one time, I got a Nashville chicken sandwich from a hole in the wall place that popped up during COVID. It was so hot I was running around the room for half an hour, and for the first time in my life, I felt the spice in my urethra when I peed afterwards. I'll never forget it.

  • The bad faith of the right has been blatantly obvious for decades at least. There was no good faith argument for the war in Iraq, after all. It was just.. what they wanted to do, so they lied.
