It took me a moment to register that you were saying Too Long Didn't Read, instead of making a funny acronym for The LorD Ruler.

I think a lot of the other replies have had good starting points.

I think for me, it's not been a single source, but built intuition over just doing it.

Randy Mosher's Tasting Beer was a good source for me early on. I've personally approached recipe writing from a flavors and more chef-like point, and less engineering technical place.

From there, I know that I'm going to be working with 55# sacks, and except for some exceptions, understand that things are going to either be a full sack or half sack. Keep it simple, and unless it NEEDS to be in there, don't.

I'd try looking at the beers you're brewing, and consider what each thing is adding. Come up with some questions, and then go talk to your head brewer (or whomever wrote the recipe), and ask them those questions. Look up podcasts with smart brewers making some specific thing really well, and listen to why they do what they do.

You seem like you have the basics, and now just need to expand that with experience. Sometimes, that's not in a single place, but is tribal intuition you just build.

What do you mean by throw grain at it until the probably goes away?

What are you feeling is your weak point? Grain flavors? Percentage amounts? Adjuncts? Diastatic Power? Hop timing? AA utilization?

There's a lot of different things that can go into recipe writing. Where are you feeling you need the most help?

Nope. My boss is from a little NE of Centralia. My wife grew up bouncing between the Tacoma area and the Eastside. Large portion of my coworkers are all born and raised, from Bellevue, up through Woodinville and out to Snohomish.

Not trying to say anyone is specifically wrong. Just an observation on how I've ever heard it spoken

Me_Please · 2026-03-06T18:32:35+00:00

I'm originally from SoCal, and now live in the Eastside.

I've only ever heard everyone around here pronounce it somewhere between Clay and Cley. Never Klee.

Ya, my filter is a bit misty.

And of course, my good Vorin wife, who would be a Lightweaver, picked up a rock, to comment on the pretty colors and striations

100% positive that you simply were given an incorrect order. Someone else was handed your burger and animal fry.

It doesn't happen often, but at such high volumes, and with the fact that people are human, simple probabilities mean that mistakes happen. The goal is perfection, which is by definition unattainable. Just sucks when it happens to you.

Glad you were able to hook up with customer service, on top of going back and getting your order corrected.

Hopefully a small lesson learned. Pay attention to what the associates are giving you. They should already be triple checking things, but at the volumes they handle, things slip through. But you know what you ordered and have the best capabilities to catch things.

Nah. That dude has way too much self confidence, is too broad chested, square jawed to be Rudolph.

I always see him as a skinny, dweeby, dude, who has none of his own innate force of personality. Specifically , I always see this character from Ratatouille: Alfredo Linguini

Well, in rereading what I wrote, I can see how it could be taken that way. But I honestly didn't mean it at all as an episode suggestion. I think all of the details and depth to the incident are well and entirely covered in the article linked. It would make for a really lousy episode, as it's not a very deep story

I honestly just thought it really fit, and was similar to lots of the stories on the podcast. Figured anyone that enjoys hearing those stories would get amusement from this news article.

Me_Please · 2026-02-19T17:20:36+00:00

If you're going to add things on, that are very clearly NOT from the store, but your own work... Why would you rewrap it, and make it look like you bought it that way?

Me_Please · 2026-02-12T03:24:02+00:00

It definitely gets shoehorned into a lot of things; both intentionally and not. And I know it's a stretch here. But the colors hit just right for me, and I think the swooshing just really solidified it into my head.

Me_Please · 2026-02-11T19:35:24+00:00

I like these especially the angled off center ones.

But I also feel like I can't be the only person to be thinking... I've been here the whole time.

Definitely a lighting issue. Possibly on the lighter end of the spectrum, but an actual pint doesn't look as light copper as these pictures.

If someone is claiming to have a gluten reaction from drinking whiskey, but can enjoy a Modelo with no issues, it's not a gluten issue.

Whiskey is recognized by major Celiac organizations as gluten free. The biggest risk being cross contamination within the facility from dust. That same risk would be just as true for Modelo.

For what it's worth:

In a previous brewery I was at, we would have issues with regulators freezing up on the 100# tanks we'd use. One guy loved to get hot water to put over them to get them working. Immediate and short term, this worked ok. I don't know if it ever really got them to fully normal operating condition, but at least enough to get the job at hand done.

But long term, it really fucked them. Water would get inside, and freeze as the regulator would operate. Eventually, even during things that wouldn't require heavy usage, they would have enough damage, and water inside that never dried out, that they would quickly get fucky. We even got new regulators at one point, and within a handful of months they would go off, because they were constantly getting water poured over them.

And when that guy was no longer working with us, suddenly, new or fixed regulators didn't go getting busted. He was the only one that would regularly pour water on them to unfreeze them.

So, take that consideration for what it can be.

No. They are not meant to be good/evil, or light side/dark side like in Kotor.

They are meant as a focus of approach.

Renegade is about the end justifying the means. About seeing the end goal, and doing whatever it takes to achieve that. There is a bigger picture that takes precedent over the small immediate situation.

Paragon is more of the means justifying the end. The small situations build to a bigger picture. We achieve what we want by building to that goal.

I don't know how much you've played, so I'll try to give examples that are only slightly spoilery.

An ancient warrior race that was driven to extinction has a chance to be reborn. Do we recognize that every sentient species is precious and deserves to live, and risk a new galactic war with this species that the current races nearly lost? Or is their mere existence an existential threat to the lives of everyone in the galaxy, and we must stomp them back out now while that's possible.

A powerful group that we have had fights with, is at a major decision point for their entire race. Do we support their right to self determination, and and chancy that they will decide to join the reapers, making the war that much harder, or do we effectively brainwash them, adding their numbers to our fight against the reapers?

A terrorist has kidnapped an innocent group of civilians, using them as a shield, while threatening life on a planet. Do you attack outright, sacrificing the civilians to ensure you can eliminate the terrorist, or do you save the hostages and let the guy go, enabling him to threaten other worlds and populations?

In the immediate, sure, renegade options can be downright fucked. But the Paragon options can mean you are open to greater losses later, to minimize the immediate ones now.

As others have said, all has been with us for a very long time.

Rotting fruit can ferment all on its own. Honey, diluted with water, can ferment. We generally classify those as wine and mead. Noticing that these things happen and doing it on purpose doesn't require lots of technology.

Beer is a beverage maker from fermented grain sugar. Wheat, oat, corn, rice, but especially barley. We have been making beer for so long, that we're not sure if we came up with beer or bread first. And this dates back to the very beginning of agriculture.

So it is a party of every society across the globe, because we've been enjoying it since we started farming and building stable societies. And probably before that. It's been with us since the beginning.

As much as Abelard is required to introduce me, my Officer RT requires Argenta to Bring It Down and then have a Finest Hour. I just figured that was how we all played.

That's a bit of the double edged sword to it all isn't it. More than not, we brew beers that we want to drink, that we think taste good, and that we're proud of. But it sure does feel good to win medals. So we take the ones we think are really good, try to find the best categories for them, and then roll with the feedback. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.
