They might put a million satellites into orbit, but they're certainly not going to be orbital data centers. At least not as we currently understand data centers. The idea that space is cold and therefore a great place to put data centers that get hot is the idea of a stoned moron talking out of their ass. Space is a vacuum, you know what else is a vacuum, the part of your portable coffee mug that keeps your beverage warm or cold for ages, because vacuum is a crazy good insulator. Just because space is cold doesn't mean the heat from an orbital data center can dissipate into it. This dumb idea is never going to happen unless data canter technology improves to the point where they aren't environmental disasters anymore.

So is lemmy or mastodon selling shirts yet? if not, why not?

This requirement will kick in the moment the system suspects suspicious activity. At that point, reCAPTCHA will forgo the old image puzzles and require you to scan a QR code with your smartphone to prove you’re human.

How is this going to work if you're browsing the internet on your phone??

why is this thing not called Steam Engine?

So... these people just hang out at the library all day every day?

This seems like a good place to put this meme I made a couple months ago

Apparently that reddit post itself was generated with AI. Using AI to bash AI is an interesting flex.

unless you pitched a shit load of infecting bugs (like your dog barfed into the fermentor or something) there's no way an infection would show up so dramatically after just 16 hours. Sounds like your yeast is just really happy and filling your headspace up with foam.

Wait, they didn't all want to impeach her after like the first week?

it was likely so humans could make booze

I don't even have to close my eyes to do this

I knew some armchair researcher was going to post this crap. Toxic to ruminants does not equal toxic to humans. All parts of the Poderosa pine from the needles to the inner bark were/are a staple food of native Americans. Isocupressic acid is not toxic to humans.

Instructions about things to not do is as equally helpful as instructions about things to do.

I wouldn't use warheads as their cores are chalky and it'd probably mess with your fermentation pH.

Maybe make Mountain Dew (aka moonshine) out of Mountain Dew?

Damn, you could have probably just bought bulk blue raspberry syrup too.

That's fine. The old advice for racking off the yeast is because that's what the big professional brewers/winemakers do. The difference being yeast sitting on the bottom of 5 gallons of beer/wine vs yeast sitting on the bottom of 100,000 bbls. The massive weight crushes the yeast and then lets some undesirable flavors into the beverage. At the homebrew scale this just doesn't happen.

The only thing to be wary of without racking off the yeast is that it's easy to stir a bunch of the sediment back up if your racking cane moves around during bottling.

I've always heard this drink called Tepache.

My understanding of Chicha is that it is a corn/maize based fermented beverage and the starches in the corn are traditionally converted to sugars by chewing the corn and spitting it out, human saliva contains amylase enzymes which converts the starch. Modern versions of the beverage can be made with malted corn if you don't wanna drink fermented spit.

I brewed a bock and some wild yeast saison last month (combined mash, separate boils). I mashed way too hot and underpitched the lager yeast so the bock is kinda stuck with way too high a FG. The saison has been slowly plugging away as the yeast is (likely) diastaticus so it should at least eventually finish...

next time add some pectinase to the ferment. You can try adding some to this wine now if you want, it works better during primary as the yeast keeps it stirred up in suspension, but it can still work post ferment.
