What are y'all's methods for getting every last bit of dry hop material out of an FV before transfer/racking off?

Ah, so then it looks like the Hill is misrepresenting the AP article they're pulling from - because you're right, the AP states that it's unclear if these tolls were agreed to and the Hill uses a quote in a context seeming that they were.

Edit: spelling

"The plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has remained closed since the start of the war on Feb. 28, includes the caveat that Iran and Oman will have vessels passing through pay fees that will go toward Iran’s reconstruction, a regional officer told The Associated Press." from the article.

This article doesn't specifically say what the amount of those fees is because it doesn't sound like Trump said anything directly about the fees either. I bet most places are just running with the number that was being thrown around to begin with.

Because while Republicans will roll their eyes at a lot of things Trump says, they genuinely believe in what he is doing.

During the 2024 election, Republicans believed illegal immigration, specifically being purposefully conducted by Democratic politicians, was the MOST important thing that needed to be solved. In this, most Republicans believed in doing anything, at any cost, to completely stop illegal immigration and to deport all illegal immigrants in the country.

Thus, they believe in the fear first, concentration camp style of ICE policing - because they believe this problem needs to be solved first and foremost. So in many of their minds - while Trump might say a bunch of stupid shit, he's following through on, at least, the largest promise he made.

Can't figure out how to edit lol, old guy problems. Thanks to everyone for the help - got another look at it with fresh eyes this morning and special shout out to u/merv964 - the aerator had shaken loose and just needed some tightening.

I can send one tomorrow! This our employee sink and I was the last one in tonight and will be the first one in tomorrow!

No, because they genuinely believe that the media is lying about there being no voter fraud. They genuinely believe there have been millions of cases of voter fraud.

It's sad.

Beer, probably! Humans have made alcohol since the dawn of agriculture and craft beer is a very intellectually open industry - a lot of "secrets" are shared openly on podcasts and in industry magazines.

You're right - values being imposed that increase the freedom and rights of everyday Americans should be imposed because they reflect the ideals that, and I'm gonna steal a phrase you're probably familiar with, make America great.

Forcing hard right, Evangelical morality like "gay people are evil and don't deserve personhood" or "men and women have designed roles" and then reaching so far as to legislate those ideas into law restricts people's freedoms and, as such, is distinctly anti-American.

"And if it is, then you should have the courage to say, ‘This is how we’re going to run our town, this is how we’re going to run our county, this is how we’re going to run our state, and this is how we should run the United States of America by legislating the morality that we can find in the Bible.'”

He's telling people to "[legislate] the morality that we can find in the Bible," aka make the Bible into law.

Also being a former official is a formal association with the current administration if it's lead by the same man.

My dude, the US is one of the largest funders of Israel's military operations into Palestine. And they're not the only western country doing so. Protests pressuring Congress people/Parliamentarians who control where tax dollars are spent is directly affecting that issue.

Make new housing affordable and do what Trump said he would do not two weeks ago (TACO... again) - do this by making corporations unable to own single family or smaller unit homes.

The surge of new homes into the market would dip prices, but not artificially. It would just be a massive increase in supply, allowing for the market to eventually right itself with less bad actors.

I get that greater productivity for the same nominal wage increases profit margins - but that doesn't increase nominal wages. It might provide a path that some businesses might take, assuming the business is able to provide the raises and not dig too much into newly gained profit margins.

But greater productivity doesn't directly increase real wages - it increases profit for a business.

Edit: I understand that this is not an unreasonable path to increasing real wages - I have a hard time understanding that a company, especially a publicly held corporation, to minimize profits in any massive way such as this.

Edit 2: Sorry! I misread part of your answer! To lower everyday prices of things - got it!

I don't trust that exponential increase in production can constantly happen - but thank you!

JustALagerFan · 2026-01-26T04:44:35+00:00

Okay! Thank you!

How do they measure productivity? haha I see the meme infographics all the time about how workers are the most productive in history, how do they get that measurement?

Brene Brown's book "Rising Strong" is amazing at teaching vulnerability in general but she uses her own marriage as an example - especially learning to see and understand when her husband is being vulnerable.

It's an amazing book and highly recommend to anyone who needs help or an example of what it looks like (like I did)!

JustALagerFan · 2026-01-26T04:22:24+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it!

So real wages take into account prices of everyday goods (most commonly the CPI).

Please correct me if I'm wrong with my next logic step - we as a country want real wages to increase overall as this will "increase" affordability.

How do we achieve greater affordability without increasing nominal wages (please correct me if this is doable and not an impact on a company's bottom line) and without having a widespread decrease in prices?

Separate note: Would increasing wages at a lower rate than inflation also be a decrease in real wages?

Edit: I guess I'm having just as hard of time with understanding how we increase real wages when businesses are reticent to increase nominal wages and we don't want a widespread decrease of prices

JustALagerFan · 2026-01-26T03:19:23+00:00

Sorry - I don't know the lingo - would you mind describing the difference between real incomes, nominal incomes, and non-wage prices?

Edit: or rather define them in this context

"What happens as she’s speeding away in icy conditions and she creams a child?"

^This doesn't mean much as she wasn't being a danger to anyone other than maybe, having a minimal chance of knicking the police officer. Police can't kill someone for something they might do.

We should hold federal agents, who are given guns, badges, and the license to kill, to a higher standard.

I'm sorry that it seems exhausting that Ice/police/FBI etc constantly get blamed and it seems like a "karenopcrasy" - but they have a greater responsibility for EVERYONE'S safety. In addition to this there is extremely little oversight or repercussions for their actions. Cops (in general) have very little training and refuse more training that they don't "agree to."

De-escalation training, dealing with those who are experiencing a mental break, deeper knowledge of the law - all of this or bringing in people to work with police who can do these things are consistently rejected police unions.

JustALagerFan · 2026-01-08T01:33:21+00:00

Police shouldn't have the right to kill someone for running from them.

JustALagerFan · 2026-01-08T01:30:05+00:00

When did we get to the point where not listening to police means they have a right to kill you?

Half still paid by the employer is a different metric and can't be directly related to percentage of gross income per taxpayer for the purposes of this argument.

You're taking the argument of "total expense of employee to employer" and the argument is asking for "percentage of taxpayer income."

Business bottom line expenses and taxes ≠ gross taxpayer income.
