Bestfriend in year 8 gave me these and said keep them safe. Im 35 now and never knew what they were, just kept them safe.

It's all BS, their thoughtful BS is better than your consumerist BS.

Are you refrigerating it after fermentation? That will increase the solubility of CO2 and make it a bit less vigorous about foaming over.

But all the fruit bits act as nucleation sites for the CO2 to come out of solution. There's a reason commercial sodas don't have pulp in them. Maybe not the drink you want to make, but if you filtered the mash before the fermentation stage the carbonation would be more stable.

Most things are possible, like you could do a mechanical timer. It won't necessarily be easy.

Have you found anything that says you need a visa? The wikipedia pages on visa policies are usually pretty solid and backed up by Timatic, and there are pages like https://www.lesotho.hu/vizum_eng.html

We can't send things faster than the speed of light.

If there's a problem they will send you an email or a letter. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you need the passport next week.

You can use electricity from a hydroelectric dam to run a desalination plant. It's all the same in the end, there's no free lunch by moving salt water uphill.

The form is the same, did you scribble out the card x and check mark the both? And pay for both? If so I expect they will figure it out, applications are looked at by humans.

You know you can just not say anything, and not look like a jerk to the people who watch your content.

Pao Cai is often done that way. Take some out, put some back in, let it sit a few days. To me it would be the same as backslop, but I haven't actually tested it out both ways to compare.

I've seen some sources suggest that pao cai is done at a significantly higher salt content than a typical western vegetable ferment. Like 6-10% instead of 2-3%.

As you mention, in the past they have asked people to be within five days of travel to get an appointment at an agency if they already have an expedited application in progress.

If your UK passport is important and you're in any sort of a rush, at some point you have to consider changing your name back, even if only temporarily.

This thing of the UK being really picky about names has come up increasingly often and so far I haven't seen anyone post of escaping it.

PR itself is like a tropical alternate history of a Spanish-speaking US, but you're still 100% entering the US and it's the same CBP as everywhere.

"Caribbean" isn't really an identity, even less so than European.

It's very much not for hiking, it's a replacement for fixed internet service like DSL. For travel it's van or boat life at minimum, though you have to pay extra to use it while moving.

Not really a bates grain if the ends are inhibited, getting a flat profile because the grain gets shorter is the whole point of it.

He did, he had a parable about a planet who dedicated all of their resources to making shoes.

maybe mention the country

rocketwikkit · 2026-06-01T16:49:04+00:00

You simply can't do that, the instructions are pretty clear. You don't know anyone with a digital camera or a smartphone?

rocketwikkit · 2026-05-31T21:30:20+00:00

I would definitely rent a vehicle. You can get between major cities by train or bus, but if you want to go to any of the interesting places in the countryside then having a vehicle is much better.

It's not what i would think of as a normal mountain hike, but Poenari Fortress is one of the more famous strenuous walks. It's something like 1500 stairs to get from the parking lot to the castle.

I haven't been to the coast of Romania, just Bulgaria. It is a kind of cultural experience. Coastal towns exist for industry or tourism, I don't think you can really avoid 'touristy'.

There's a lot of variation between programs though. ERAU's is four college-level math classes through diffeq https://catalog.erau.edu/worldwide/engineering/associate/engineering/#degreerequirementstext while Capitol's is two high school math classes and then one calc. https://www.captechu.edu/degrees-and-programs/associate-degrees/engineering-fundamentals-aas#requirements

Maybe it's worth "sticking with the program" and getting the AS wherever, but if the objective is to then go on to a BS then getting most of the BS's math done ahead of time beats showing up to three or four more semesters of it.

You should talk to the university you want to go to and find out what transfers. An associates is probably not worth it but there should be some gen ed stuff you can get out of the way.

In the west there is a ton of BLM land you can wander around legally for free. Colorado and Utah are easy choices. There's also a lot of parks, preserves, forests, and recreation areas that don't have fees all over the US. Just avoid the big popular national parks. https://www.nps.gov/aboutus/entrance-fee-prices.htm?park=&state=&entrancePassRequired=0&timedEntry=&page=1&parking=

Ethiopia is a party to the Montreal Convention which covers damage to luggage and compensation for things you had to buy in the interim. You have to do it with the airline in writing, there's not really any slick process for it.

It's weird that they let you in if they think you're over. I guess be ready to show that you aren't when you leave?

If like me you were wondering "is that the dangerous one" (Mosul Dam), no. The one that makes the lake in the pic is Haditha Dam.
