I have been home brewing for a few years and looked it up out of curiosity. Fucking hell the taxes and regulations are oppressive if I wanted to try selling anything. Then there is distilling that I would probably not even be given permission to do and the vast majority of the cost of your end product is gone to alcohol tax and VAT.
Also all the ingredients I use? Illegal if I wanted to sell any product made with foraged berries. So I couldn’t even sell jam.

If you can do it faster you still make ten hours, but if it’s slower you still only make 10 hours.
So cut as many corners as you can probably get away with. What a great incentive…

I only did 1 of those and managed to get a house by my late 20s a few years ago.

Greentexts are a lot cheaper though. Kinda like self medicating with alcohol.

Glad I didn’t go to uni. Wish I did an apprenticeship sooner.

I should play it again, had a few expansions since I last played.

Yes, and also that it was the time to push harder. Go ahead, make then have to pay people to moderate their platform. See how long that lasts. Even encourage extreme shitposting and upvoting shit content to sabotage the site.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 2 days ago:
Realistic in the sense that its easy and won’t do anything I guess.
Although what does not playing your games even achieve? It has a larger cost on you than it does on Sony. Playing games you already bought doesn’t even benefit them.
Surely more effective and easier would be to keep playing the games you already have and just to indefinitely refuse to ever buy another Sony product. You don’t lose anything you already had that way and they take a massive hit on future sales.

Didn’t a lot of mods just open up again after by choice too? If more of them took a firm stance then perhaps reddit wouldn’t have been able to replace them all so easily.
I don’t know if there will ever be a better opportunity to have a large anti-reddit movement though, wouldn’t be surprised if they have worked to prevent it since then.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 3 days ago:
Oh yeah like the API hissy fits that shown just how weak reddit protests really are.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 3 days ago:
Wouldn’t even be surprised if Sony organised this it’s so pathetic. Let’s people vent for a week and then all over I guess. Why would they even bother changing?
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 3 days ago:
Lol, a single week? So pathetic. I am sure that will show them…
You voted with your wallet for this when you bought into their bullshit.

Some gamers. I am still chillin playing factorio with my player hosted servers and no DRM because the devs are based.

UK Aldi, not sure I have ever seen bronze cut used as a selling point on pasta, probably out of my price range.

Yes, but if you are single who would you do it with

I haven’t heard of her so I guess I can start with my guess of what the 1800s was like.
Napoleonic wars leaving millions dead.
People pushed into overcrowded towns and cities, fuelling disease outbreaks like cholera.
Potato famine and British government approach of “lol don’t care” resulting in over a million dead.

Walking, cycling and making jam are all things I do on my own tough
- Comment on Anon tries dating apps 3 days ago:
Ohh a group of my friends has someone like that. Although everyone has been getting increasingly distant from her as she won’t turn up to anything that isn’t fancy enough for her, and there is an increasing feeling that she only ever messages us when she doesn’t have anything else she would rather do going on - we hear from her much more when she is unemployed and single.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 3 days ago:
TIL the cheapest pasta in Aldi is decent quality.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 3 days ago:
You stir your pasta?

Not true. Some sell games from their own sites too. Like Vintage Story and Factorio.
- Comment on Britain ‘Does Not Have Enough Water’ for Planned AI Data Centre Boom 1 week ago:
Only in some areas, no restrictions where I live fortunately. Just dumped a couple hundred litres on some crops I am growing.
- Comment on Britain ‘Does Not Have Enough Water’ for Planned AI Data Centre Boom 1 week ago:
Surely they could, just need a bigger heat exchanger. Or even place them near the sea and use that as a heat exchanger. Evaporative cooling also isn’t going to work as well in the UK where humidity is high.
But IIRC a lot of this water use stuff is kinda sketchy calculations. Building them takes a lot of water due to all the concrete but it is a one off cost and just as bad as building any other large building.

So are regular fans then, the blades are inside a mesh
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Just like their hoovers then.
Used to have to use one and I just don’t understand the bagless appeal. I like having a bag to contain all this awful dust. Felt like I needed to wash every time I emptied it and they fill up so fast in comparison too.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
And what kind of fan could you get with that money… Pretty sure I could get an industrial one that exchanges most of the air in my house in minutes or even seconds.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Regular fans dont have exposed blades either, there is a mesh over it.
- Comment on this absolute bullshit from reddit 1 week ago:
Probably should look into that actually.

Plenty of people choose GOG too.
