yeah but no creepy shit so

i despise secret santa. so this should be fun. i'm all the way in, sorry ladies but that's all i got.

i beat this mf in demons souls last night. pain.in.the.ass.

i stand corrected. it's illegal in the same way that homebrewing beer/mead was illegal before 1979. not sure how strictly it's regulated though. you can legally buy distilling equipment and ingredients all over the internet and in local homebrew shops. i'd wager if you had a home still in your basement for personal use and the feds found out, they'd likely look the other way.

i don't think distillation is illegal if you're only doing it for your own personal use. but i'm not familiar with freeze distillation so i'm gonna stop right there.

i reworked the recipe to dump the beans and remove as many carbs as possible, since i'm on a FUCKING DIET and i'm trying really hard to eat <20 grams of carbs a day. ended up making a batch that clocked in at ~150 grams in 2 gallons of chili. assuming a person eats a pound of chili for a meal (yeah that's a lot, fuck you), that's around 10 grams per meal. YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT.

that's a nice pick-up! i've eyeballed that catalyst fermenter for small batch stuff at home. add a sampling port and temp control, and you've got yourself an awesome little piece of kit. my only concern was introducing atmosphere into the fermenter when you slap on a fresh mason jar and open the valve. it should be super-easy to clean and maintain. just make sure you don't scratch that acrylic on the inside during cleaning, or you'll have a hard time keeping the scratch from housing bacteria.

what fermenter did you get? a nice fermenter is the last big purchase i have left before i fire up my brew schedule. carboys are ok and they're dirt cheap by comparison, but they're a pain in the ass for transfers and cleaning.

wife is excited about that one. i only ever played thru re2, but she's done pretty much all of them over the years. she won't do re7 in vr though, too scary for her. it's pretty brutal, ngl.

so demon's souls is fucking amazing in 1440p60. i avoided the souls franchise until now because i didn't want to dedicate that much effort to a video game, but this looked beautiful and it was out on launch day. it was either this or godfall, which looks like it's gonna be a shiny turd. i spent the first 3 or 4 hours cussing and reconsidering my life choices. then shit started to click, and now i'm hooked. the ps5 controller is just stupid immersive. the maps and visuals are so pretty. and this is just a launch day game? i can't wait for what's coming in the next year+.

been doing this keto diet for a month now. this morning i was down to 199, from 217 back on oct 12. the plan was to knock off 10% of my total weight, which would be around 195. but now i'm thinking, i can probably push that out to 15%...or maybe even 20%. wtf is this? it's like a weird addiction. i hate dieting with a passion, but now i want to keep going. i'm becoming that which i despise -- a health nut. ewwwwwwwww

my eyes aren't compatible with resolutions that high. reason #392 why ps5 is better for me.

weighed in on sunday. thought i finally broke 200. turns out it was just dehydration from drinking on saturday. back up to 201 today. does it count? i want to say it still counts but ...

just th box from forrest gump. that shit hit hard when i was 14.

you're allowed to say it. you've seen kids. you know how they can be.

kids are dumb tho

you're obviously not a dude.

my mom called it goulash, but it was chili with noodles. that pic is ... something else. maybe that's actual goulash? i was almost willing to overlook the celery as a chili ingredient, but there's some weird shit going on in that pot. i'll still add noodles if there's any chili left a few days later. but then it also gets a pile of cheddar cheese, and that's called chili mac. and it's damn good.

that's a ... nice pot of chili, packard. is that ketchup?

my chili has beans. but at the request of family coming over, i made a pot without beans for the first time ever over the weekend. took a bit of re-working to get the flavor profile back into my happy zone, but it turned out pretty good. might try it again next time too.

can vouch for this. it's a northern thing. but iirc, the noodles are added after the fact, like as a leftover addition. something something, subsistence diet.

on top of a filled bowl, sure. on the ingredient list? absofuckinglutely not.

fire won't hurt cement. can't speak for the selves and their contents, but these are minor details. ~~~ i was supposed to be prepping the hop garden all day yesterday for today's opening, since we got shut down for indoor service for the next month+ due to state mitigations. well, rather than work outside in the garden, i spent all afternoon and evening trying to clear a clogged sewer main at the house. i didn't want to spend a small fortune on getting a plumber on a sunday, so i thought it would be a good idea to spend that money on my own drain auger at harbor freight. $250 later, i'm cranking away inside that clean-out, and i just can't get that cheap flimsy auger to cut thru whatever is plugging up the main. then it grabbed hard and that cable flipped inside the drum and coiled back on itself, and knotted right the fuck up. ended up calling in a plumber anyways. long story short, 8 hours and $400 into this project, i have a clean main again. and this morning the truck battery was dead. still haven't got shit done in the garden, so i get to work on all of that tonight while we're supposed to be open. that'll be fun. at least it will be warmer than last night, and i won't be covered in sewer sludge and liquid shit and mangled lady time plugs.

But which one is Tyler Durden and which is the narrator?

Got one of these in the mail today
