Hi all I wanted to share a short story from a cityslick that's been riding different 2 wheelers for all my life. What you probably experienced in your life as well once you turn 18 is the social peer pressure of getting a car. Like at every birthday party: "So when are you going for your car licence?" and I always kind of shrugged that off as something later as I was enjoying street cycling and mtb's. Then personal life and work kept me occupied and time went by fast and came to the conclusion having to haul a car around in the dense urban metro districts is kind of stupid. In rush hour every road is clogged with dusty fossil engines in stationary. And the drivers all look bummed out.

Anyway enjoy your favourite microtransport the future has just begun. E-bikes ftw!

P.S. who needs a 200mph engine when city limits are heavily enforced? No shame in a speed limiter.

I'm so glad the fermentation succeeded the sample tastes like apple cider with a sour kiss. The smell is extremely sweet. The alcohol kicks 🤙

I used the traditional honey mead ratios and added dried dates with yeast. Proper cleaning is the most important part.

The jar is filled with:

• 1/5th dark bastard sugar, stirred;
• 1/5th bread yeast and some sesame seeds;
• 1 date for aroma;
• clear water

Set for a month now 1 week left and it is bubbling on the surface so the reaction has set. Can I consume this to test the results or should it be refrigerated first? What kind of tools other than glass jars with valves should you have to make fermenting better?

For example if the Betelgeuze system had a planet, with a theoretical large telescope on that planet and looked back at earth. It would see life and civilizations from the 15th century a.d. (~500 light years distance)
