I feel like we've entered a new era that is post-science, individualist and based in information blackout and obfuscation. Enter: the vibes theory of disease
@ryanqnorth@birdlord Ha - though honestly - I wonder if my answers would have been different 4 years ago? Living through a pandemic *might* have shaped my current feelings about other people mixing up their juices & vapors with my grub
If there's no lasting immunity to covid and no upper limit on infections and the CDC's central estimate is a 70% risk of long covid after 5 infections won't most people that don't die get long covid? Isn't this the brutal logic on the current path? What am I missing?
If you change "my students are so disengaged right now" to "my students are living through trauma, grief, chaos, and looking at a bleak future" does that make any kind of difference?
What's one extremely unpopular rule you'd enforce on the world that most people would hate at first, then would eventually accept and possibly thank you for later?
@ourboldhero Congrats! I don't recall the recipe exactly, but it was a base of Two Row, with about 15% Premium English Caramalt from Simpsons, and Spruce Tips from Forbes- https://t.co/SiNXi2pj4p
The yeast was cool - a unique strain cultured from an antique bread bowl

@ryanqnorth I find Wintergreen to be very interesting in this regard, because it's unique character is irrevocably associated with toilet bowl cleaner... Wintergreen is a delightful flavor to me, but to many others, it tastes the way they would imagine licking a toilet bowl would taste...
@MikeLounds I agree, high phenolic character can clash with hop bitterness - in this case, it's low phenols & high esters - I added sugar (Lyles Golden Syrup) and limited ferulic acid (all barley, single infusion) - so to me it tastes like peach & pine, with a hint of spice!
