Draught Beer

probably a Pale/IPA of some sort

ideally a hazy with Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic and/or Amarillo hops

definitely something from Cloudwater, Sureshot, Verdant, Deya, Track or Lerwig if I happen to be somewhere with it on tap.

Though often for those breweries, I’d take a can over an alternative draught

I’ve always liked the distinction between needing your job to survive and being okay if it disappeared for at least a few months

If you have enough to mean you can take your time to look for a good job if you ever lost your current one without having to change your lifestyle, that’s the minimum bound of “enough” IMO. Anything else involves compromise, so therefore is not “enough” by definition.

I’d say the idealised “enough” is when you can do whatever you decide to do without having to worry if you can afford it.

Both of these depend on the kind of lifestyle people lead and how much more they would do if they didn’t have to think about money. For some people that idealised “enough” is unachievable, because they’ve decided what they want to do is make more money.

People that end up chasing money for the sake of having more money will often do so in spite of any moral compass. And FWIW I don’t think there are a high percentage people out there that make “enough” by either of my definitions and that opens up all the exploitation that forces people into shitty jobs and situations they wouldn’t otherwise do

I kinda hate that this is a question that needed to be asked

Everything clever someone does with a camera is now gonna be met with: “is this just AI?”

I guess it was “is this photoshopped?” before, but that still implied someone did something clever

Of course, but that pretty much can only result in a world war

Do you really think he stops once the former Soviet countries are under his control?

If Trump gets elected, the modern world of relative peace ends and we’re thrown into chaos and suffering with possibly no easy way back to stability.

The rest of the world breathes a sigh of relief.

We kinda have a lot riding on the US remaining a relatively incorrupt democratic superpower.

Putin is very obviously angling to start a world war with the US as a useful-idiot ally if trump gets even a day in office again.

I’m a big fan of Tinariwen who are from Mali

Also: Toe from Japan

Also also: yin yin from the Netherlands

And in a similar vein: l’eclair from Switzerland

Also tbh, if you want a great selection of eclectic artists from all over the world, look up a playlist of artists playing on the West Holts stage of Glastonbury for any given year—when I’m at the festival it’s always my go to stage if I’m feeling like trying something new and it’s rarely disappointed me

Well I wasn’t expecting to get called out quite like this today

I think similarly to a regular flu jab, there’s probably not one for this variant yet.

Shattered pixel dungeon has been a mainstay on my phone for what feels like a decade now

Socialism doesn’t just seem like a good idea, it’s pretty much the only possible future that doesn’t end up with 99% of humanity suffering horribly.

The idea of everyone being able to work to make the means to survive has a rapidly approaching shelf life, most companies won’t employ humans over whatever tech is on the horizon as soon as it’s cheaper. The areas that remain habitable due to climate change will shrink

I do not know why this isn’t treated as a more pressing issue

Presidents will get to open a merch store that sells a few books after their presidencies now rather than the presidential libraries

Norway continuing to demonstrate how to run a country

That one was actually down to poorly insulated speakers and 2G phone signals dipping into the audible frequency range

Oh god AC97 era onboard audio was just bad, there was always weird glitchy sounds coming from interference elsewhere on the motherboard

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I think the PC speaker was literally a 1-bit speaker. Anything that sounded more detailed was PWM on that one bit

Problem is, they should realise this only creates a gap for a competitor or even worse (from the companies’ perspective) a viable open source project that they’ll never be able to compete on price with.

Even more odd is there being a Brit in charge of Amtrak

Isn’t there a single qualified American that cares about trains?

Not that they were a great company to begin with, but nice one Mike Ashley, killed off another brand basically

Bet there’s some stellar ales around there
