Proton have just announced they're moving to a nonprofit structure if that makes a difference to you; it sure does to me.

Awesome! I found https://stormthecastle.com/mead via the sidebar of the old meadmaking subreddit and still go back to reference the tutorials and recipes occasionally. Seems like the only community on Lemmy is https://sopuli.xyz/c/homebrewing (or [email protected] I guess, thanks bot), but it's a big one.

This was one of my favourite recipes posted on the old orange site (luckily it was crossposted to imgur): https://imgur.com/gallery/neon-knights-indigo-mead-D0IAs

I really enjoyed learning to homebrew, and my family and friends really enjoyed drinking the mead I've made. You can homebrew all sorts of stuff, too - beer and wine of course, but also kombucha and ginger ale (edit: and cider! Thanks /u/cyberpunk007). I'm looking at professional kit for my next batch which is going to be a few hundred dollars at least of steel, but my first fermentation tubs were something like $35.

My only up-front recommendation would be to get a conical fermenter as it minimises loss when racking/bottling.

Man, most bands start as a group of friends playing together for fun. Yes, sucking isn't fun - the fun comes from surmounting those obstacles and seeing yourself improve. I sucked at Dark Souls when I first picked it up, but I wanted to be good, so I sat down and practiced parrying against basic enemies until I could get it consistently. I suck at guitar too, it hurts my fingers and makes my hands cramp and it wasn't worth it to me to push through that to get good.

You know what I did about it? I sold my guitar on craigslist and moved on. I didn't go on the internet and whine about it, nor did I get impudent with people who took the time to offer me advice - really rather good advice, in this thread. Your attitude sucks. Adjust that, and then either sit down and practice or find a new hobby. Nobody gives a shit that being bad makes you sad.

"For fun" and "funny" are different things, though. I've turned down loads of offers to run marathons from friends who do it for fun.

Boss Bitch

Don't you hate it when you reach for a napkin but then your hand gets stuck to the dispenser and you watch in horror as the sides of the dispenser morph into tentacles that reach out and mercilessly beat you into bloody mush - or they would, if it were a full-sized mimic, but instead the angry lil guy can only pitter-pat against your wrist and you're all like

Nyawww, lil napkin mimic, so angry and vish! But bro I kinda need my hands back now

So you pat and stroke the napkin mimic until it calms down and even lets you take a napkin like you wanted?

Tell you what: you go host that instance, with no pearl-clutching. Don't worry about any knocks at the door, or federal agents abseiling through your windows. You don't clutch no pearls, right?

Same here. But also, who cares? Nobody worth listening to is going to judge you for the phone you have.

As to the question, a light touch with a rotary tool might get it off without damaging the case itself too much. Or, do you have a laser etcher, or a machine shop with one nearby?

there will be chaos and so many rubber ducks in random places.

I now have you tagged as James Veich.
