Good times.

Yeah. Now that I'm doing it, it feels weird that I didn't think to start brewing earlier. I think part of it is my dislike for wine and beer.

Try looking up Joe's Ancient Orange Mead, sometimes called JAOM. It's stupidly easy, it's ready to drink quicker than most meads and is easy to drink.

Also: does your dislike of beer stem from the big breweries in America and the crap they churn out or does it extend to even good beers? Because if it's the former, you might consider trying a few good ones and then maybe picking up brewing from that. What you make it home is (almost always) loads better than pisswater lite beer.

I actually would like to maybe pick up making cider. I know where I can get the juice, pasteurized, but otherwise untouched so I can start making customized batches, but I've got too much to make right now to start on that. I've got two 5 gallon batches and 2 gallon batches of mead going plus I'll soon have another three batches of beer going for the playoffs and Super Bowl.

Why, what happens?

Never met a beer I liked, and I've given plenty of opportunities for beers to change my mind, both in the States and overseas (specifically Switzerland, Italy, and Northern Ireland). I figure if I can't enjoy beer in Ireland, then it's a lost cause.

I've forgotten how awful Excel 2003 is. I'm forced to use it in my new job and I can't find anything anymore. I'm so used to 2007 and up that going so far back is painfully complicated. It doesn't even have a lot of the functions I use all the time.

Why haven't they updated in the past 9 years?

Some corps have longer update cycles than others.

Also, sometimes the sys admins get a bit wary of potential compatibility issues.

So i'm re-watching a bunch of old saturday morning cartoons I used to watch as a kid on youtube just for nostalgia's sake.

Anyone else remember this?

Some of the managers have been upated, but basically they're cheap about tech.

so the hobbit. Three hours of running dwarves. Yay.

More entertaining than LOTR.

not for me. LotR seem to be a lot more coherent and structured plot wise.

well as i recall return of the king was filmed entirely in slow motion so that would make it easier for the audience to mull things over i suppose

Hobbit comes out here on Boxing Day.

Django Unchained comes out on the 26th of January.

Cloud Atlas... next year.

Well Theobromine covered the biology of it. Or at least I guess he did because that was never one of my favorite subjects.

So why ought we? I dunno. Why should we watch TV instead of, say, going outside for a jog as a form of entertainment/stress relief? Play computer games instead of read a book? And so on.

Meat is tasty and I enjoy eating it. There's no deep moral reason for it, any more than there's a moral reason I played three hours of Civ4 last night instead of reading a literary classic.

If you want to get all "vegans are morally superior to you backwards meat eaters " have fun but I'm not going to feel any less of a moral person when I eat a cheeseburger instead of a salad.

Cue nerd rage about how unrealistic WWZ is and how mankind would have totally kicked zombie asses if it happened IRL.

I think Spaceballs is the most realistic, hardest scifi movie ever made.

I am convinced that Lord Falcon is an epic level troll...

Yeah I'm pretty sure he is a troll, and they have taken the bait hook, line and sinker especially in that thread.

and copy of angling times

I sent him a few PMs to try to encourage him to find help when he posted his interest in suicide and he responded about as you'd expect a real person like him to. So either there's a troll putting in way more effort than necessary to look like someone scared, lonely, and angry... or he's just a scared, lonely, and angry.

Dishonored is at -50% on Steam at €25.

I love Fallout New Vegas and was entertained by Fallout 3, but Oblivion and the Eleder Scroll games bored me.

Should I buy it, Y/N ?

Its quite good. Little predictable but fun and silly.

I'm surprised that in a forum full of nerd that nobody else remembered that cameo.
