When the CTO decided that he wouldn’t do anything about my work getting sabotaged by a busy-body from another department. As soon as I had signed a new contract, I handed in my notice and told our head of HR (who was very understanding but ultimately powerless) all the reasons why I quit. They didn‘t even try to make me a better offer. I don‘t think I did anything wrong, in fact the CTO had awarded me the company’s “tech employee of the year” award just 3 months earlier.

Middle of the road: pay your employees in ping pong tables, increase monthly ping pong table quota.

Couldn’t he have just started a blog, like a normal person?

The ironic thing is, we have a quasi-official definition of what “woke” means from one of DeSantis’ goons:

The governor’s general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.” He added that DeSantis doesn’t believe there are systemic injustices in the country, reports Florida Politics.

Which Nazis abroad do you mean exactly?

I strictly only drink afterwards. During brewing, I want to keep a sharp mind so that I don’t mess anything up, and just stick to the plan.

After everything is done and cleaned up, I’ll happily have a few beers and a pizza.

All Zionists are religious nationalists.

Ever heard of Socialist Zionism? The most important branch of Zionism in the first half of the 20th Century, decidedly leftist, decidedly socialist with some collectivist elements (kibbutzim for example), often areligious while remaining culturally Jewish, and a fairly strong advocacy of Jewish-Arab cooperation in its base, at least in the 1920s and 1930s.

Weyermann is selling a liquid malt extract made from smoked malt with a touch of roasted malt for colour that they call “Bamberg Rauch”. If you can find it, you could use it as your base.

You didn’t sell the recovery tool, you sold the warm and fuzzy feeling that somebody was looking out for them.

Address, phone number, credit card and all.

Oh wow. As someone who used to work in Fintech and who built a PCI-DSS compliant system got it successfully certified, it would be a shame if somebody reported that company for violations that could get them to lose their PCI-DSS certification. I mean, do they just bribe their PCI-DSS auditor to overlook this, or have they just managed to hide this blatant issue so far?

Sounds like you escaped a violent theocratic cult.

Making alcohol-free or low-alcohol beer that tastes good is actually really hard and is still actively being researched. Because of reasons, it’s even harder at homebrew scale.

The main methods are:

• biological method, aka arrested fermentation: low OG wort, ferment only briefly, then chill down hard to stop fermentation. Similar to what @plactagonic@sopuli.xyz described. You can further reduce the amount of alcohol produced by selecting a maltose-negative yeast, such as Saccharomycodes ludwigii or a maltose-negative Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, such as Lallemand LalBrew LoNa, which has only been released recently.
• physical method, aka dealcoholization: brew a normal strength wort, let it finish fermenting, then remove the alcohol through vacuum distillation or non-porous membrane distillation.

Each of the methods have their drawbacks. If you use a maltose-negative strain, you need to be able to pasteurize your beer, otherwise infections are inevitable. This is the reason why LalBrew LoNa is currently not sold to home brewers, as Lallemand does not think that home brewers will be able to reliable pasteurize and use the yeast correctly. The beer will also taste worty and sweeter than regular beer. Dealcoholization on the other hand is basically impossible to do at home. It also leaves behind a thin-tasting beer with unsatisfactory mouthfeel. Recent research has shown that the best tasting non-alcohol/low-alcohol beer can be produced by blending two beers made with these two methods.

Ah, yes, we can see it with all the communities running their own Mastodon servers and extracting the maximum of wealth from their users. /s

Remind me what was the lawful order in “I’m going to put a bullet in your head”?

The video also shows how the police officer told him that he’s gonna get a bullet in the head.

The tax bands for alcohol contents in beer have changed recently. Basically, these adjustment in ABV help breweries actually make money again. Too many breweries have already folded this year, so this is actually a good thing. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reform-of-the-alcohol-duty-system/reform-of-alcohol-duty-rates-and-reliefs

Also, British beer culture has favoured lower-alcohol beers in the 3-4% ABV range for quite some time now.

Edit: also… it’s just the alcohol content that is getting lowered, the beer itself will remain as flavourful as before. And there’s another aspect: the category of non-alcohol and low-alcohol beers has become incredibly more popular in the UK in the last 2 years or so.

I’m really not creative at all about naming my beers. But then it’s not hard to distinguish my beers as I don’t brew as often as I used to. So I can refer to my beers as “the 2022 Czech Dark Lager”, “the 2021 10° Vienna Lager”, “that Saphir-hopped German Pilsner” and “last year’s osmička” (osmička is a Czech term for a beer with 8°P original gravity).

Have you checked what’s even available to you? In practice, you will be limited by which hop rhizomes are even sold in the Swedish market.

Here in Germany, I could buy Cascade, Centennial, Comet, Ariana, Callista, Tango, Chinook, Polaris (all of these are probably interesting enough for IPAs and Pale Ales), all the typical German varieties, both landrace and older breeds, and some English ones as well.

All lawyers are part of the deep state, obviously, no exceptions. /s
