    I'll echo the sentiments of others in that darkly compact is a very welcome theme option. I think I'm mostly just happy to see a theme that isn't some mobile first trash.

    For years I thought Raspberry Beret by Prince was actually Raspberry Parade. I had only ever heard the song through tinny garbage store speakers so forget about hearing the verses of the song. All I knew was that there was this wacked out chick that held a raspberry parade she had found in a second hand store that may have been acquired by coming in through the out door.

    I just chalked it up to goofy 80s lyrics.

    A lot of the users on here just lurk and don't participate in discussions. That's how you get a community with 10 or 20 subscribers and only a couple of active members that actually contribute.

    Funny enough this follows on the other discussion regarding artic defense and is largely in line with my own thoughts on the matter. People slag off the senate for being an unelected body but I often appreciate the recommendations we get out the chamber of sober second thoughts.

    TIL: The faulty rivets on the Titanic meant it was doomed to sink. If they rivets were properly made it would have survived hitting the iceberg.

    Doing some searching online it seems the claim normally made is that all steel rivets wouldn't have prevented the sinking but could have slowed it enough to allow more passengers to be rescued.

    To provide a bit more context lower grade iron rivets were used because of supply shortages at the time. Higher quality steel rivets were still used for the midsection of the boat with iron rivets being used on the ends.

    Nice to see SimCity 3000 on there. I know 4 is more feature complete. Especially with all the mods available for it. But there's a certain atmosphere to 3000 that I just enjoy more.

    Fun fact SimCity 3000 wasn't even playable for a few years because the DRM was so invasive that Windows blocked it as a security threat.

    Potentially we could lose sovereignty over our own territorial waters if we're not proactive in artic defense. This is certainly a policy I can get behind.

    Wow. That keptinis article probably deserves it's own thread. My immediate thought is that the mash loafs could be put into a smoker and with that it opens up all kinds of choices for adding wood smoke or herbs depending on what you're going for.

    Nice. I know most here are used to how Reddit structures their content, or are on the federation bandwagon. Personally I'm just happy to see the internet get a little more decentralized.

    On a related note I should set up and play around with some old school forum software. It's been a few years since I've looked at it.

  • Help point a noobie in some interesting directions. I've got the basic Arduino starter kit and some other breadboard components at this time. Eventually I'd like to learn more about PLC control systems. I'm happy to dive into other interesting areas as well. Any recommendations for sites, books, Youtube channels or even related subject matter that'd be useful to get acquainted with would be much appreciated.

    That Skyfactory series is probably the most rewatchable one.

    I'd also give a nod to Project Ozone 2. Half the fun of that one is watching Etho trying to manage buggy or outright broken garbage mods.

  • Probably my favourite map for all the little details it contains. Apparently Puslinch lake had good bass fishing. Old Stage Rd was considered an old road even back then. I'd love to know more of the history behind that. Dundas St was shite past Woodstock. It even mentions good and bad inns. Every time I look at this map there's something new I discover.

    I'm a big fan of Dokuwiki. I use it to document and plan out my various hobbies and interests. Also listing future large projects and purchases. Installation is very simple.

    I've also got Wordpress going as a home digital cookbook.

    CSS isn't for nerds. Nerds are smart.

    Seriously it took them like 20 years to reimplement table based layouts in the form of grid. In between we were stuck playing the devils Tetris stacking boxes on top of each other and trying to float all that garbage to produce janky, buggy layouts that would crumble apart when resized.

  • As we gain experience as homebrewers over time we pick up little tips and tricks that make our brews better and overall make things easier for us when we're brewing. Here's a few that I've developed over the years. - Hang your siphon tubes and other lines on a hook to help with drying. - If you're dealing with a cloudy beer take a page from the wine makers and add some bentonite to help clear your beer. - When using turbo yeasts for sugar washes leave the lid partially open and stir daily for the first few days. This helps cut down on the turbo yeast off flavours that typically develop. - When using a lower end four week wine kit let it clarify for an extra two to four weeks. This is something all the higher end kits suggest. - We're not in the prohibition era. We have better yeast strains than bread yeasts for distillation. Just because your grandpappy had to do guerilla brewing in the backwoods doesn't mean you need to. - Pre mix bentonite with warm water in a pitcher before adding it to your fermenter. It mixes much better this way. - Wanna get laid? Share your fruit wines with the ladies. I find raspberry dragon fruit is a particularly good panty dropper. It might also help to be sociable and attractive. - Don't brew drunk. Some dumb mistakes I've seen online were clearly made by someone getting to high off their own supply. What small tips do you have to share?

    Certainly blows my collection of old junk out of the water.

    Has running Stable Diffusion had a big impact on the other stuff running? I'm thinking the Minecraft servers in particular.

    There's a new one over here that's for Minecraft and Minetest. I'll start posting on it for the Minetest stuff.

    I'm guessing the tankies are using Minecraft for fantasy political roleplay?

    Just because they're currently out of the 24hr news cycle doesn't mean they've disappeared or don't have an influence on current events. Actually I think half of them still regularly are the subject of articles. We still regularly see news stories regarding Taliban mismanagement of Afghanistan. Saudi financing of extremists and old prince bonesaw's antics have definitely had an impact on relations with other nations and is likely the reason for their reconciliation with Iran recently. I think I just read an article last week about deforestation in Brazil. Same with stories about microplastics and ongoing research into that.

    This picture is just an argument out of ignorance. Hardly surprising since it's just some feels guy cancer.

    In this case I think either the author can't explain their position because it's unacceptable and indefensible or they simply lack the critical thinking skills needed to fully explain their position. It's likely a mix of both.

    Keep in mind that this being a much smaller site your voice and opinion does have an impact. Your posts and votes will influence the culture of this site. Put in the effort to shape it into how you'd like it to be.

    An old fashioned alternative to the conventional wisdom of boiling the piss out of your wort. I've gotten a few interesting and complex beers out of going the raw ale route. I'm looking forward to experimenting more in the future.
