Not wanting the job is a good thing. That’s how it should be…

…or wild kitchen yeast or whatever.

There is a lid in this photo, but I’ve opted to keep the container open for the first few days to encourage wild yeasts to settle in. Once the fermentation starts picking up I’ll transfer to another container. I’m following Sandor Katz’s fast and loose recipe from The Art of Fermentation…I expect to learn valuable lessons or reap unexpected rewards. Or maybe both.

“I WROTE A HIT PLAY! And I’m in love with you, you piece of shit.”

A backpack and some paracord can be an effective solution. Learn a few basic knots and find some spots you can attach to…you can have a secure bag on the bike and a comfortable bag off it.

This is what happens, Larry!

There’s one of these interchanges at the junction of Rt 59 and I-88 in Naperville, IL…historically a notorious junction. It was and is a bit strange to roll through intermittently, but anecdotally people in the area seem to think its improved traffic flow. It does catch unfamilar drivers off guard, tho, especially during off-peak hours when there isn’t much traffic to follow.

Not a dev nor a privacy/security expert, but if you’ve had issues with system updates breaking stuff, I’d steer clear of Fedora and roll with something a bit more stable and consistent, like Debian or Ubuntu LTS releases. The 6-month system upgrade cycle is pretty onerous with Fedora.

I was gifted that game and between my rapidly falling temperature and hunger and my poorly coordinated attempts at stunning baby rabbits, just gave up about 15 mins in. Is it worth it to give it another shot? I’ve tried twice now…

Alton Brown’s recipe is solid and fairly foolproof.

Ha. Yeah, I can dig that. I looked like I stepped out of a nuclear decontamination site the first time I mixed up lye, now I just put on sunglasses and lean back. Probably should find some middle ground there. 🤔

The only metal I use is an immersion blender and the cooling rack in the picture, and the cooling rack is just for the cure. Thanks for the heads up, though…I’ll keep an eye out for any weirdness.

Why’s that? Reactions with un reacted lye perhaps?

Looks a lot like my list.

Very normal. The Loaf is also a pretty common cat pose.

There could be three, four, seven, or twenty parties and you could vote for the candidate that best represented your ideals and they could stand a reasonable chance of being voted into office if we would just embrace ranked choice voting.

Kirk himself was mentioned in B-Boy Bouillabaisse from the epic 1989 album Paul’s Boutique.

I dig the styling and pricing of those REs, but my mechanic warned me that getting parts from India can be tricky or take a long time.

I was never able to get into Emergency and I, but Is Terrified is a fantastic record.

I made many batches of carrots and daikon back in the day. They were delicious.

It is crazy, but you still see cats out there on liter bikes in visors and flip flops. Totally nuts.

My problem was a fully reactionary sudden application of the front brake when I heard the squeal ahead of me. In a car, no prob. On a bike, bad idea. Locked the front tire and it was game over. Instead, I should have either progressively applied brake or just had an escape route in mind. Both are techniques that every course or vid or book will tell you, but its not until you build up that muscle memory that you’ll for sure properly apply the right technique at the right time.

Good luck and ride safe!
