Microsoft Authenticator saves the day. I was in the grocery store when I got the notification on my phone that someone was trying to sign in to my Microsoft account. I could tap Approve or Deny. I tapped Deny. I saw it again a couple of minutes later, and tapped Deny again.

Use 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) on every account that allows it. Don’t put it off any longer. Use this weekend to secure all your accounts, and start 2024 with better security.

annual Pumpkin ale is finally underway. Mash started at noon. Let's see if I can keep this batch to a respectful 5% .. been not adding enough water in previous batches.


Anyone have a good all-grain pumpkin lager recipe my searches have not presented any good results.

Basically 19 years ago today, this fuzzy friend was abandoned in our yard with her two brothers, eyes not quite open yet. While we found homes for her brothers, Arya stayed and is going strong.

Previous homebrew attempt, a Dunkel lager, fermented with a room temp lager yeast was enjoyed by all this past weekend.

Grain bill was that of a Dunkelweizen ale, so it measured out as an 8% ABV.. oops.

Just finished the latest batch. This will be an English Bitter. Going to dry hop with some Willamette pellet hops in about 2 weeks when I move this to a secondary fermenting vessel.
Created a yeast starter this time using WLP005 British Ale by White Labs
OG: 1.054

With the discussions around WotC and Hasbro's leaked OGL changes. Figured I'd toss this out there.

If anyone's looking for a new TTRPG to try out, Scion: Origin is currently free in pdf form: drivethrurpg.com/product/24676. In the interest of full disclosure,
my wife worked on it and is occasionally a developer for the line.


Is there anything binding that means McCarthy actually has to follow through with promises to get votes?

Remember, no matter how shitty your week is, Alex Jones is having a MUCH worse week. Like seriously much worse. Like a BILLION times worse.

LOL

Last day of 2022. Trying to make a proper Dunkel. Found out about 'room temp' lager yeast. WLP810 San Francisco Lager yeast from White Labs.

This place is to be beholden only to its users. That's you guys. I've picked up the slack keeping this place open for 5 years.

If I were to change the model now, it would be the same as 'selling' you folks.

You're not for sale.

If you haven't deleted the Twitter app from your phone, you definitely should.

It's siphoning up everything about you.

If you haven't been watching I can't recommend the new run of Quantum Leap on Paramount enough. That show is doing the original proud.

I know that we have right-of-center people who do NOT violate the rules. They're among my favorite people here. We agree that fascism is bad and we're fond of democracy. We're also willing to consider other people's points of view. It's awesome.

Donald Trump and his base are saying in every way possible that power in America is white, straight and male and all else are targets. That is not my America! We have to fight for minorities. We have to fight for equality for all. We have to fight for the future of our children. This isn't a game!
