You need a decent chunk of money to renovate, except now you’re living far away from city life (which could be a plus or a minus).
Everybody knows 0s take more pixels to draw and are therefore heavier than 1s.
It’s just common-sense physics, folks.

Whining about it is like complaining that sidewalks use up valuable space alongside a road.

fubarx@lemmy.worldto Homebrewing - Beer, Mead, Wine, Cider@sopuli.xyz•I wanted to do this for few years...English1·1 day agoA friend of the family from Hungary used to bring out home-made palinka in small 7Up bottles to sneak them past customs. He said they would drink a few shots before and after every meal. Said that was how Hungarians became the highest per-capita meat-eating country in Europe.
I just remember it burning all the way down. The recipe I mentioned was more of a sweet liqueur and with lower risk of near-fatal distillation mishaps.
Will have to look into maceration. Thanks for the tip!
fubarx@lemmy.worldto Homebrewing - Beer, Mead, Wine, Cider@sopuli.xyz•I wanted to do this for few years...English0·1 day agoMy late-father once told me about a recipe he used when he was young, passed down to him by his old uncle.
Got a bunch of black plums (but he said any fruit could be used). Washed them, then put them whole in a big, glass jar with a screw top lid. The fruit was layered with sugar. Lots of sugar. Closed the lid and left it all out in the sun for a month. It fermented and turned into mush.
Brought it in and sifted out the solids. Left a lot of pulp. Mixed it with plain vodka and decanted it into smaller dark bottles with clip tops. Aged it for six months in the dark. After that, kept it in the freezer. 10+ years later, it still tasted amazing.
This post is inspiring me to try again. Thinking peach this time.

Is the hook at the end of the handle for hanging or stabbing? Maybe a little of both.
