I've got a pineapple habanero cider in its last week before I bottle it right now.

Used apple juice as the base for primary, infused habanero into pineapple juice and added into secondary fermentation. It's pretty spicy, I'm going to back sweeten with pineapple concentrate I think and then pasteurize.

The lights we have definitely require the app and an account to get them to do anything other than solid white.

Thanks I will look into those products as well as Home Assistant. I've yet to pull the trigger on installing HA, I don't have a lot of devices that have made me want to use it yet. We only have a couple Google speakers and Chromecasts.

Apparently it's to detect nearby devices so that you don't have to pair the traditional way.

The other thing that bothers me about these lights is they have a built in microphone that listens for music playing and can adjust the lights to match the music. I haven't looked myself but some users on Reddit have posted about the amount of network activity with Govee cloud and Google Analytics being very high.

If I can isolate them from accessing the internet and connect through Home Assistant locally then I may keep them.. These are sort of a trial run for future permanent Christmas/Occasion lights on the outside of the house.

You can actually start collecting CPP at 60 and OAS at 65.

Typically they still have performance issues though? I haven't played on consoles since Xbox 360, other than the odd Nintendo game. I spent thousands of dollars on 360 and PS3 games and hardware and have none of it now. But my entire PC library is still playable.

This was my first time using them and just their clear finish. It was actually my first time clear coating anything so I don't have much of an opinion but it seemed to go on easy, very minimal brush strokes left behind but the ones I can see are likely due to my lack of experience.

Yeah the joint just didn't get as tight as I would've liked in a couple spots. But after planing and sanding, staining and varathane it's not really noticeable.

I do plan on doing a top rail so we can hang things off as decoration. It's extremely solid though as is.

There were actually a couple spots where I had small cracks afterwards. I could have had a few more clamps on honestly.

Have you read The Expanse? How does it compare?

I think it's debated a lot but from what I remember it's because the sky is a big empty space, the Eagles are sentient and do what they want, the nazgul patrol the sky and dead kings sense the ring. Sauron has an eye that is ever watching. It would've been too dangerous and risky to lose the ring for the Eagles while the enemy still lived.

I use an android device and my NAS is a Synology ds923. Jellyfin wasn't nearly as smooth an experience for me as Plex was. I'm willing to switch to FOSS but it doesn't seem as good yet..

The dude abides 😎

My wife and I love white Russians. Lately we've been making our own coffee syrup, Havana 7 year rum and 10% cream. It's also very good.

I find the price has also doubled.

What exactly is he talking about? Which law prohibits the specific 'free speech' he is referring to?

You took it too far bro

Do you have an offsite backup? Or do you only backup specifics? Like 10-20% of that?

Which distro do you use?

Do you typically believe everything you read in meme form?
