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?

Whoa, I need to find some hi-res versions of these to print out and hang on my wall!

Where’s Mrs True when you need her?

They were all off their rocker on wizard oil

Man, just look at that facial expression. That’s a man in deep emotional pain.

Hey, wait, are these the same triplets he dove out of a window over in a previous comic? Didn’t realize there was continuity between these strips.

Did people really wear bandages around their necks for a sore throat back in the day, or is that just a comic strip way of visually conveying that info?

Also, damn, he knocked that guy right out of his suspenders.

That would be considered “vintage”. Antique today would indeed be from Everett’s time.

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.

I Iove that Lemmy is into a 100+ year old comic. What I’m curious about, is this a uniquely Lemmy phenomenon, or is this comic making the rounds on other corners of the Internet right now too?

It’s funnier that way.

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.

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.

Hey, we had one of those on the wall at home when I was a kid!
