Anchor was inspirational for me as a beginning brewer in the early 80s. I'm glad to hear it's being revived.

More exciting news re Windows 11, Recall™, and even Arm.

With apologies to Willy the Shake: What's in a name? Four beers, by any other name, would taste as sweet. 4Brew

This strikes me as key, especially for folks prone to addictive behavior, genetically or otherwise. As my grandfather said about quitting smoking, "You gotta make your mind up." He put an unopened cig pack in front of himself at his work, and it just sat there. Moderate use requires one...

"Serious" is a somewhat flexible term. The fact that MS now includes Arm64 in the Windows big tent confirms that "serious" computing is already possible with Arm -- even though not the blistering performance of high end x86-64 Intel and AMD machines (or Apple M[0-9] silicon). Surprisingly, my...

What would Frank Zappa (or Nanook of the North) have to say about MS "spyware"? I think you've nailed it, @balrog . One presumes that, as with web browsing history, there will be a "clear" function. (this operation cannot be reversed). After all, they say, "You are in control with Recall."

This was my main rationale for retiring earlier than planned. Not a choice for most (including Bracc, it seems). I feel very fortunate. Years ago I got a call from a friend whose husband had just retired. As they were preparing for their big post-retirement world travel, he became grievously...

You bet! You can do almost anything with a kit that you can do all-grain except mashing, of course. Also can't subtract the hops and adjuncts/specialty malts. But you can add, and you can choose the yeast and manage fermentation, etc. Go for it!

^this!^ Super slow or inadequate carbonation (with hefty brews) was one of my biggest frustrations with bottle conditioning. Flat beer ain't really beer. Kegging eliminates this concern.

A tangent: a guy I used to sing with claimed that some beers are better drunk from the bottle, and others from a glass. No argument with anyone's perceptions, just saying it's subjective AF. Maybe less so for BJCP trainees and the like. For me, two of the "same" beers (two bottles from a...

From an NTSB document: Hybrid electric vehicles generate very little noise when operating under battery power, making them hard for pedestrians to detect. In December 2016, NHTSA issued a final rule establishing FMVSS 141, which sets minimum sound requirements for hybrid and electric vehicles...

Leaving aside the existing spaceship sounds, Dodge is doing exactly this. Seems crazy (to me). Not that I want pedestrians to get hit, of course.

fwiw, I haven't seen dry yeast for sale in a cooler. But that's where I put it when I get home.

This just in from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine: EVs are more dangerous to pedestrians.

I would've said this until a move to a one level house eliminated my excellent basement storage zone for beer (and wine). But I have no opinion about quality differences, at least now that I have good oxygen avoidance going in my kegging. And a couple of hefty bottled batches will do okay stored...

I take it these globules visible at bottling time, and that you used Kleenex to filter during bottling. But I may be misunderstanding. This is pretty strange, as yeast generally settles to the bottom -- makes me suspect there was something unexpected in the fermenter with your beer. Residue...

Um, all my (CMB brand) beer disconnects are black, and all my gas disconnects are pale grey. Could you be using a gas disconnect on your beer post? They're similar but not identical.

As you probably know, @stealthfixr , Ford is giving free NACS adapters to its Mach E and F-150 Lightning customers. Perhaps not as quickly as hoped.

I agree with @whoaru99. It could be that the probe doesn't stick down into the flow, and is measuring the semi-dead space above the T.
