She’s had years to train up a successor, at this point it’s just blind power hungry arrogance.

I use malic acid to tune acidity, earl grey tea to play with tannins, and you can always cut up a few pounds of apples and throw them in there to get some of the flavors from the skins + flesh.

You can have local models, but the vast majority of people are going to farm that out to a 3rd party provider via API calls because it’s the easiest thing to do.

Remember I said “It all depends on how you implement it”.

It all depends on how you implement it. He describes the text from images as using machine learning, which implies using an external API to do that translation.

I might be mistaken, but I don’t think Sync Ultra is the same thing as the ad-free sync premium. Sync Ultra is a subscription because it adds functionality that requires cloud resources, not just removes ads.

I think even more broadly, they want to encourage the harassment of anyone who goes outside their definition of what is culturally acceptable.

At this point it’s like saying that water is wet.

“No such thing as bad publicity” comes to mind.

Are there any apples in there?

That’s how you know they’re starting to feel the pinch of people being fed up with them.

The clipper made the choice to include that portion, I just found it entirely unnecessary.

The 15+ seconds of quiet laughter was so unnecessary.

It’s more like realizing that you’re surrounded by fire, so you might as well pick a patch with a nice view.

The best time to make a change in your life was 10 years ago, the second best time is now.

Don’t base your happiness on your achievements as compared to others. Life isn’t deterministic, every person is working with a different set of skills and circumstances. Set your own goals based on what you want to do, and work toward that.

If you don’t know what you want to do, start trying new things.

Aileen Getty has not personally worked in the oil industry and has poured much of her fortune into philanthropic ventures related to the climate crisis.

Isn’t this what we want these rich people to be doing?

Your options to backsweeten are as follows;

1. Increase the alcohol content past the tolerance of the yeast. This will result in a beverage of 12% or higher ABV.

You can do this by starting with a higher initial gravity (this is my approach for sweet meads), or adding sugar until the fermentation stops restarting, or adding neutral spirits to bring the abv up, then backsweeten.

2. Ferment to dry, then add sulfites to prevent the yeast from reactivating, then backsweeten as desired.

Warning! This doesn’t always work, and it’s hard to predict how much sulfite is necessary, if you add too much it can negatively impact the flavor.

3. Ferment to dry, then use filters down to 1 micron to filter out the yeast, then backsweeten as desired.

4. Ferment to dry, then backsweeten just before consumption.

Most commercial producers filter and add sulfites.

100% recommend. It was a way easier switch than I expected, and I feel much more secure now.

I use Bitwarden.

They’re definitely different, just found it ironic.

This is a great point. I think especially men approach dating as a quantity game, when really it should be a quality game.
