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?

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?

As a Minnesotan I’d like to point out that Walz really isn’t a progressive, however, like Biden, he’s repeatedly shown a willingness to welcome everyone to the table, and (generally) not stand in the way of progressive legislation, even when he personally doesn’t agree, so definitely not the worst choice. But I say double down on minority women, nominate lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan instead, let’s get the first native woman in the White House!

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.

we’ve been weakening in that regard over the last decade

That’s the thing, we really haven’t. 2016 got a lot of press because Trump lost by the narrowest margin since Bush vs Gore, but if you look at the actual vote totals, Trump didn’t do any better than the last 4 Republicans, slightly worse than Romney and Bush in 2004, in fact. The only reason it was as close as it was was due to the terrible turnout by Dems for Hillary in 2016. 2020 results were back in line with the norm, with Biden winning by 7+ points. So don’t believe the media’s click bait hype, Minnesota is not and never was in play. (Of course, that doesn’t mean we don’t need to vote, and don’t forget the down ballot races, which are arguably more important. And have you all voted in your primary yet? Early voting is open, election day is August 13th)

Better than Strange Brew?

Wait, so he’s admitting hunter’s laptop is a hoax? Or is his ephedrine addled brain having trouble keeping track of all of the lies?

The fuck is the “laptop from hell”?

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.

It’s no Halloween III.

The lawnmower scene in Dead Alive?

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 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.

Xcrement

This is intentional, it’s to give the edibles time to kick in.

Isn’t it two thirds, or 67 seats? Not that that’s any more likely to happen.

I wonder what the flaw was that prevented Leonard Maltin from giving this the full three stars?

I had to do that recently, ended up being easier to just temporarily change the password to something short on a pc, then change it back after.

This ruling is regarding the upcoming primaries, (although I have to imagine it would apply to the general election as well assuming he gets the nomination) so it would deny him any delegates he would have otherwise won in CO. If enough other blue states barred him from running in their primaries, it could, hypothetically, result in someone else getting enough delegates to win the nomination at the convention, although I have no idea how likely that would be.
