Looking at it, I think it might be an one of those old mono LCD displays? The video makes it look like it’s a bunch of small individual ones rather than a large continuous display.

Oh those things are super cool, soviet era display technology had a great aesthetic. This YouTuber had some great videos on them

The industry is experiencing historic shrinkage post COVID due to unsustainable growth during COVID.

It’s not an easy transition. My partner works for DDG and I still don’t use it all the time. To their credit they are working to improve things but it’s a small team (comparatively). Their browser has some good features like app tracking protection just from having it installed and quick throwaway email support but isn’t quite up to Firefox’s standard (yet).

Sex hormones are powerful. Running through everybody's blood. Creating massive aggression, obsession and mental disturbance. What if we could remove their mental influence?

I’m talking about the fight/fuck/dominate hormones. Testosterone, estrogen. The reason why putting a pretty girl in an advertisement works so well. And it might explain a lot of aggression too....

You body begins to die a painful but probably mercifully quick death. Hormones are vital to your bodies continual survival and even if you targeted specific ones, you’d just be creating problems for yourself. Elimated dopamine? Congrats you’ve given yourself ADHD and a host of other personality problems. Melotonin? Oops no more sleep for you, enjoy your sudden weight gain and compromised immune system. We don’t take hormones, we are hormones.

Kinda weird to call a 1 nanometer hole a void but ok.

A shame, especially to be shut down a second time, the time splitters games defined my childhood.

That last bit goes for people too, it’s called Leukocoria can be am early sign of all sorts of eye disease. It’s a common way retinoblastoma (a thankfully relatively rare child eye cancer) gets caught - it shows up as a sort of white sheen in one eye in flash photos.

I’m on the East Sussex coast, no snow but the worst frost so far and a freezing fog.

Thanks buddy

Without any additional research beyond my homebrewing experience, it’s possible but very unlikely - almost everything would be against you. Brewing is a pretty fragile process and whilst homebrewing with wild yeast is possible, its a struggle to keep it alive long enough for it to reproduce to sufficient quantities to do it’s thing. And that’s if it can even get the alcohol content high enough and you don’t get any bacterial or mold contamination.

eyes ,

They can, to an extent, if you had lots time and a staffed lab. Crossbreeding yeast strains is kind of tough as most of the ones used in industrial fermentation (ie the stable, commonly used ones) don’t breed well with others and when they do crossbreed, the resulting new strain is often infertile itself. It’s possible, but difficult, unreliable and the resources required put it well beyond the scope of people who don’t own a brewing company.

I told myself I wouldn’t do it but I did the research: turns out there’s one company who claims to brew with “donor” yeast and that’s the company she’s talking about partnering with. As far as I can tell from everything I’ve found reporting on them these claims are unverified so everything below should be taken with a large amount of skepticism.

Their websites are pretty sparse with information (and unsurprisingly creepily neckbeardy) but looking at what’s available and been reported I’ve been able to piece together what I think is happening. They talk around it and try to couch it in scientific jargon, it sounds like they’re using it to produce lactic acid only, so no alcohol, which is then sterilised and filtered to death before being used as an additive.

All in all it seems that the steps they describe between “donor” and beer that would result in no actual yeasts from the “donor” in the beer at any point, or even any yeasts cultivated from the originals - Which would seem to be the ultimate intent, probably for food safety law complaince. And this all assumes that they aren’t just lieing about it.

The kind of yeast in question can’t produce alcohol as far as I can tell, only lactic acid. Edit: Lactobacillus not yeast

eyes ,

Also not all yeast strains convert sugar into alcohol, the strain in question in this case will only produce lactic acid.

eyes ,

Just to add technically I’m wrong, they’re using a Lactobacillus not a yeast.

eyes ,

Also just to add I did more reading and technically they’re using a Lactobacillus which is a bacteria and not a yeast. Which makes more sense as that’s what’s responsible for yeast infections, just to add to the yuck factor.

The ruse was a success - they’ve finally revealed their location, send in the retrieval team. Their fines will pay for a new library.

I think it would likely be used to add extra charges after the fact ie did you get caught? Then you must have also commited this crime on top of the others. Then again I might be ascribing logic where there is none.

This guy’s trying to trick us into working out - Get them!

Less competition for their farmers/Shortages mean higher grain prices.

This - wanted to add that it’s generally not a good idea to have radioactive elements not under under lock and key as they have a nasty habit of ending up in scrap yards and the like. Most nuclear accidents are from radiotherapy and x-ray machine sources not getting disposed of correctly and getting picked up by enterprising scrappers due to the high lead content of their housing.

Terrance Howard? The time cube guy is Otis Eugene “Gene” Ray and I’m pretty sure he would have been 80 at the time. Plus he’s white.

eyes ,

Hadn’t heard of that, he’s definitely being weird and wrong, but its not as schizophrenic as time cube.
