couple of things, 1 CO2 is denser than oxygen and can kill people if it settles on them. To ferment means to exist in an oxygen free environment so keep the buckets as full and as shut as possible, make sure to pitch the yeast at around 40 degrees C, and invest in yeast nutrient. Also while the internet is full of elaborate gas valve set ups, a simple hole with a folded piece of paper towel does the job just fine.

cleaning is what I plan to do as soon as I stop being too tired to sit upright for more than 10 minutes at a time. I'm guessing by tomorrow. Though ironically I am dreaming about cleaning up already.

1. most people including myself are probably bi but conditioned by society to be strait 2. network tv is garbage and the people who watch it are worse off than the most demented gamer/otaku 3. the united states is an uncultured hive of barbarians and the only reason we are as powerful as we are is because Europe decided to self destruct 100 years ago 4. I liked godfather 3 5. I love fallout 4 to be continued or not as my attention span demands.

you sleep a lot, like a whole lot, like off and on for 24+ hours. I also managed to burn through the better part of 300 dollars which is just now starting to hit me as I contemplate just how it is that I ended up spending that much money on food, booze, and entertainment. All that said it was worth it. I did all manner of shit that I have never done before. smoked cigars, a hookah, tried alligator, and hiked a 1/2 mile stretch of sea wall. There was also more mundane shit like dancing in a rave, getting trashed, and gorging on various meats and foods of varying quality, most of which I would have again. Made about 6-7 new contacts, most of which I remember from last year but failed to get info from due to sheer intoxication.

I used to, now I mostly watch scishow, and pbs spacetime, also Kurzgesagt when they happen to produce an episode... like this one

I wasn't referring to IPA's when I was insulting our national standers, I was instead referring to the bland bread water like slop that most people actually drink, shit like budlight, natural ice, and bush beer. I IPA's are fine I just don't like them, too bitter. As it happens I am enjoying a Sam Adams porch rocker right now, it was the most refreshing looking thing in the fridge.

Giuliano is actually my real name. I got perma banned when the mods realized it wasn't just a nickname I came up with. Nautius Maximus is a nickname, one I got when I joined barfleet http://www.ubs-shameless.net/ , since that happened around the same time I signed up here I figured I'd use that as my new screen name.

No that's probably me, unless there was another guy running around in a toga that I am failing to recall. And yeah, this has been, is, and will continue to be one of the craziest weeks of my life. and that is saying a lot considering my yearly parties usually end up being 4 day long benders.

I think we should all remember what the U in UFO stands for, it does not stand for, "Its dem aliens come to probe mai anus!" which by the way I think is a repressed homosexual fantasy that ignorant rednecks have hence the abduction stories.

Not I, as a matter of fact I find people that do disgusting and I loath using public restrooms for that precise cause.

Good is very subjective, I'd say we produce a few decent beers. then again I hate IPA's with a inflamed passion and that is the quintessential american beer variety. Still when I'm out and able to splurge I go for imports. That said most people drink pisswater light and nasty ice where I live. I'm partial to Guinness myself, Peroni in the summer time because its more refreshing. Of course I prefer wine, and scotch. usually in that order.

Actually the theory of evolution by natural selection is pretty plausible, hence why the entire scientific discipline and most of the rest of the planet apart from Saudi Arabia and Kansas accept it as fact. I'd explain how it works but I'm not being paid to do so.

I use it in tater sauce, its not so bad with relish... and all the spices I add to make it palatable. last time I actually added a bit of sriracha to it, came out pretty good on my fish'n chips.

He was kind of famous for having this wall that Reagan wanted him to bring down.

by tsathoggua, don't tell me you are one of those, phantom history, middle ages never happened, caesar was jesus, people! The idea that all historians are part of a cover up is about as likely as aliens having created a race of psychotic hairless apes... oh wait you believe that too.

My ideals being based on scripts that may be mistranslated is irrelevant, they are my ideals because they are rational positions, not because they are ancient. They could have been invented last week for all I care. That's the difference between philosophy and religion, religion requires divine mandate, philosophy is just a function of ideas being good enough to pass scrutiny. Also you believe aliens created humanity, that's a damn sight more crazy than adhering to epicureanism, with a smattering of other philosophical precepts.

prepared for battle

To be fair a lot of that was paraphrased from Tyson, Dawkins, and Hitchens. This is really just another form of creationism, replacing gods with aliens doesn't really change the inherent flaws in the position.

Jesus tap dancing Christ, I make an off hand comment about how prohibition ruined american beer by forcing people to drink hard low quality illegally obtained alcohol, driving most historical brewery's out of business, and re-branding things like apples, grapes, and cherries as things to be consumed in a non fermented state and everyone starts freaking out. I was going to explain that bit yesterday but I was too tired to be bothered. Also yes I used the wrong spelling of palate, like I said, I was tired. I should mention it is recovering thanks to the popularity of craft beer, but its hardly what it was before prohibition, same goes for cider and wine. About the only thing that survived to pre prohibition standard was Bourbon because the people that made it never stopped making it, they just did so illegally.

Reality isn't a scify movie, and if aliens created us I would expect them to have done a better job, I mean the recurrent laryngeal nerve? why would anyone run a wire from our throats down into our chest then back up to our head? Then there is the little matter of what is going on downstairs, reproductive organs that double as waste removal? Or the fact that we breath and eat out of the same hole, guaranteeing some number of us will choke to death. Oh and we are self important psychotic hairless apes half a chromosome away from a chimpanzee who react to novelty which physical violence and spend most of our resources devising means to kill one another over tribal god concepts and resources. That last bit, is why the aliens will never visit us. We're too primitive and crazy.

My eyes are red, my flesh tired, but my will to press on unabated Just to give you an idea I got utterly wasted on tinychat last Wednesday, slept it off Thursday, went to Rogue_Alphonse[/member] place and partied with him Sasha Star[/member] and @Railroadengine until Sunday, went back home with Rogue and Sasha, partied Sunday, then partied with the two of them and Bouvre[/member] Monday, before finally saying good bye to everyone yesterday and sleeping for the rest of that and most of today, and here is the fun part folks. Tomorrow I'm going back to Rogue and Sasha's place to pregame party before heading to Nauticon, the 21+ drinking, anime, scify, and generic geekdom con located in province town MA, for the entire weekend. A weekend in which I will imbibe every alcoholic substance known to civilized man since the 16th century. I did not plan a good 70% of this. I mean yeah, I go to Nauticon every year to party and get utterly wrecked but all the rest of it was just a happy accident.

you mean crackpots? yeah I have noticed that. It makes sense, if you can believe one absurd conspiracy theory, why not believe all of them? Even ones that contradict each other.

you aren't missing much, unless its really cold, or really high end beer, like imported or craft stuff. Most beer consumed in the united states is terrible. You can thank prohibition for ruining our national pallet.

I love how people can go from, "I see strange lights in the sky that I can't explain" to "its the aliens that created mankind because I flunked evolutionary biology class" You admitted you have no fucking idea what they are, I would put a lot of money on an astronomer, or meteorologist, or even an amateur star gazer being able to tell you, and no, they won't confirm your argument from ignorance.
