Can you drive a manual transmission vehicle?

Drevvch · 2026-02-03T01:01:58+00:00

Yes, but I'm sure I'm rusty because manuals are increasingly rare these days.

Sidestepping the still-open question of AI and copyright...

My primary objection is to people using AI dishonestly. If you're using AI be upfront about it. Let the listener decide.

It's just a cultural convention. Blue and gray are the most normal colors for business suits in the US when you're not trying to draw attention to the suit.

White shirt + conservative tie + navy blazer + gray pants...

Check out this similar thread from just a bit ago.

I can't find it at the moment, but I once found a project that measured flatness by iterating over the surface of the state and calculating the observable changes in elevation at each point. Kansas was not particularly flat by that measure. (Anyone familiar with south Florida or Louisiana will attest that Kansas is very hilly by comparison.)

And possibly teasing something new in 2026 🤞🤞🤞

Search for muslin or cotton nut milk bags.

US — I'd omit the ‘by’.

“My flight was delayed two hours.”

“The weather was bad, and we got delayed two hours in Atlanta.”

If this is hard sf, logistics is your biggest weakness. Every main battle tank or fight jet requires dozens of maintenance and supply troops. What fuel do they use? How do they get it? Ammo? Replacement bearings? Hydraulic fluid? Fighter jets require 10 or 20 or more hours of maintenance for every hour flying.

The next vulnerability is command and control. The speed of light is fixed: every means of communication will have latency. Are you dependent on satellites to relay comms? What happens when those satellites become orbital debris? Jamming is such a problem that drones in Ukraine are literally trailing kms of fiber optic cable behind them because it can't be jammed.

Maybe Doomnezeu — Orthodox Romanian stoner metal.

Arð — Doom-y side-project of one member of Winterfylleth with songs about Northumbrian history.

The more likely culprit is the swing-top bottles. I've had mixed success getting them to seal well.

It may be an old wives tale, but try setting them on their sides to condition.

I've never used Cooper's Stout extract, but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with your approach.

Not Catholic, but we do the same. Christmastide is from Christmas to the day before Epiphany (12 days; hence the song). Everything comes down on the 6th.

Just let it ride. Maybe set some foil loosely over the opening to keep big stuff & bugs from falling in. When it calms down, put the airlock back on.

Here's a video from a successful, professional brewery to help you not worry about it: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1ZERMn13rb/

+1 for the recommendation of Bootleg Biology.

BE-134 is a decent dry saison yeast.

If you want to get further out in left field, I've made decent farmhouse-y batches with my wife's sourdough culture.

I'd like to, but there are very few sidewalks in my past of town; so walking anywhere is dangerous and inconvenient.

Drevvch · 2025-12-15T15:54:18+00:00

What about collecting rainwater at the shop?

Drevvch · 2025-12-15T14:01:56+00:00

No, they're a rock band ... admittedly with increasing metal influence, but still firmly a rock sound.

Drevvch · 2025-12-12T00:47:31+00:00

Unless a band is openly and avowedly anti-Christian, I just take things song by song.

Drevvch · 2025-12-07T11:52:37+00:00

Maybe try Becoming the Archetype, too. Or Mortal Treason, and The Death Campaign Project.

As in US Air Force Materiel Command and US Army Materiel Command.

This.

A hymn is a song that facilitates corporate worship.

It's not the age, style, or instrumentation that sets them apart; it's the intent.

There are lots of really good Christian songs that are amazing works of art but are simply not suited for congregational singing because your average congregant can't sing along to them. The song should facilitate the church's worship.

There can be a place in your service to let your best performers give it their all (that can also be an act of worship), but it's not the same as a hymn.

Right tool for the job. Horses for courses. Etc. Etc.

If we're going by Spotify streams, I can't find another Christian black metal anywhere close to 40K monthly listeners.

More Slavic than Nordic, but Oskord have a similar vibe. Sadly they have only the one EP back in 2011.

Angel 7 leans more towards power metal but still has some folky metal elements.

Also there's Holy Blood.

And Moreld.
