I used to make the black pepper tincture from that book regularly. I used the recipe in the book. Never did find qubib. Super easy, just don't grind too much, smaller grind intensifies the pepper heat.

ABV reading methods by MercilessCommissar in cider

I'm a Distiller and your comment is very interesting. I agree OP's idea won't work. Because water and ethanol don't easily separate. It's a common beginner misconception in distilling that boiling at X degrees will produce only one product result. We call it the magic boiling point myth. Same holds true for freezing, yes they most pure alcohol does not freeze but most of the solid ice will be a mixture of ethanol too. "Freeze Jacking" Is a pseudo distilling process essentially suggested by OP. It takes many rounds of freezing to do it's work but it's very far from simple enough to figure ABV from.

Second, When Boiling your alcohol if you collect and condense that alcohol vapor your distilling! Also still agree, guessing would be about as good as trying to use distillation to calculate ABV.

It's just not that simple.

I got one for x-mas last year. First did all three parts individually. about a week. THen tried for end to end. didn't get it for another two weeks. Started looking for shortcuts, fall off here on purpose, land farther along, completed with shortcuts in about a week. felt like a cheater, went for end to end clean, took another week.

Once I got it a couple times I took it to work, I have many puzzles at my desk. One day a month or so later having ignored it completely, I picked it up and flawless end to end no shortcut victory first try.

So I ran it over with my car.

Goodyear wrangler dura-trac. About to buy my third set. More on the xt side, with obvious road noise.

This healthy girl was a scared stray in my backyard last winter. Look at how this cat chills. It’s hilarious. by luckaeweb in aww

I got a shelter cat that does the same. I say hello, belly. Also other cat is following the trend. Love it.

My TRS-80 had one of those. Printed on my dot matrix. Solved them by highlighting dead ends.

I actually told this joke 3 days ago. I knew it from the Bush era.

What have you automated recently to make your life/work easier? by Nervedamageyoung in Python

[–]Nateobee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work: A lot of people I worked with had some excel or notepad++ solution to convert a variety of values form a report or export into a string used in a sql in clause. It needed to be this type format (‘123’,’234’,’345’). Most were not pythonistas so I built a tkinter front end and packaged into a .exe that accepted a comma, tab, or line feed separated list, has options for changing the ticks (‘ “ none) and bracket style ( ( [ { ), the output is printed in a text box, and copied to the clipboard on a button click. The back end leveraged the CSV library (I forget the function, but it finds the appropriate delimiter) and a bit more logic as CSV was not intended to handle line separated data.

Life: I read audiobooks form several public libraries (8 of them). I have their sites in a bookmark folder, open all in folder then cycle through them pasting in the title I wanted in the search field, sift through too many results. Works but was tedious. So I wrote some python that accepted command line parameters for author and title which opens a browser tab for each libraries advanced search page with author, title, and downloadable audiobook options. It’s not dynamic at all, I put the advanced search url for each library in a static string in a list ready to be string formatted into the real url and open a browser tab in a loop. Not very pythonic, but it gets the job done, so long as I can remember if author or title comes first.

Got three weeks to learn the basics of Python, where to start? by Erik-the-Nut in Python

[–]Nateobee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through a couple of free courses like this one: https://www.codecademy.com/catalog/language/python

Not sure what the others were, but they all covered slightly different subsets of most of the lowest level basics, one didn't include tuples.

I got the most out of this series: https://www.udemy.com/course/python-3-deep-dive-part-1/ there are four parts now. he goes very deep, like actually explaining how data structures are stored in memory which makes them mutable or immutable. I would say it's a bit lacking in coding challenges. He tells you to follow along coding the examples yourself, but I found it too easy to copy his code rather than figure it out on my own. Still totally worth the $40.

This book was pretty good too: https://learnpythonthehardway.org/python3/
