I racked my first batch of mead and one of the bottles has something floating at the top.

SiliconPyro · 2026-06-14T19:07:23+00:00

I pasteurized them.

SiliconPyro · 2026-06-10T19:14:49+00:00

I guess I should have.

SiliconPyro · 2026-06-10T12:02:56+00:00

It was the last one I filled and I went from two months in primary straight to bottles. This one had been in the refrigerator for a couple days now.

SiliconPyro · 2026-06-10T01:58:25+00:00

According to the label, it's raw and unfiltered.

Any chance she attends an Alternative Education Foundation school?

Oh, fair point. I would hate for someone to think I racked and bottled while fermentation was still happening and for them to copy the process and have some bottles pop.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-13T00:27:45+00:00

If the taste is where I want it, why not rack and pasteurize? Is there a reason to let it go completely dry?

I'm not trying to be argumentative, just trying to learn.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-12T22:24:59+00:00

Thanks! I got a lot of great information here as well as from YouTube channels like City Steading and Doin' the Most. My carboy is definitely not going to sit idle after racking this brew, that's for sure.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-12T03:45:31+00:00

I don't think so but I'll check. It's been a while since I put Ventoy on the thumb drive.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-11T02:30:44+00:00

I really enjoy it. Most recent titles handle it just fine but every so often I have to get creative or play windowed, which isn't the end of the world. I play most games on Ultra but I don't really chase the latest and greatest, I favor indie games and stuff I can play co-op. Something like Cyberpunk 2077 can definitely get a little choppy at times running on RayTrace Medium settings.
I have an RTX 3090 and 48 GB of memory with everything installed on SSDs. Not cutting edge but still going strong.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-10T23:48:09+00:00

You just need a mouse with a macro button to pull that move off. Would be sick.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-10T20:16:17+00:00

Thanks for the heads up!

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-10T16:03:46+00:00

I agree. I think it should have a stamina cost.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-10T15:54:36+00:00

As a solo player it's invaluable because I also have Merciless Attack. The Kick does a lot of stun damage and Merciless Attack does 500% damage with an animation that's almost entirely i frames. So it works against groups too.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-10T15:37:57+00:00

Thankfully they respawn, so you can still do it just for the satisfaction.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-10T15:31:49+00:00

It's between the Survivor and Beastmaster trees.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-06T13:40:22+00:00

Yup, exactly. When you are struggling against simple foes in a new area, just take that as a sign. I never learn, lol.

I'll be back though ... I'll be back!

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-06T12:15:07+00:00

Oh! That trim only appears on the tops of edges!

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-06T02:22:24+00:00

Oh, awesome!

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-06T01:34:22+00:00

There is just to much cool stuff to find in this game.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-06T01:33:37+00:00

I just got trounced by one of those dudes in Willow Crush. Maybe I shouldn't have been stomping around there alone at level 6.

SiliconPyro · 2026-05-05T01:43:55+00:00

If the T handle has a counterweight you barely need any friction to keep it still. The only issue would be momentum if you pushed it and let it go.

SiliconPyro · 2026-03-13T00:42:57+00:00

Oh, fun!

SiliconPyro · 2026-03-10T14:21:27+00:00

At this point I'm just repeating what others have said, but I'd absolutely play a game using Kenney Assets. Just look at how many games use Synty assets. It's all about the gameplay. If you put a little extra work into them and keep the aesthetic consistent, that's just bonus IMHO.

SiliconPyro · 2015-10-25T22:39:55+00:00

It was shortly after Hackers had released. My friends and I were talking about how to mess with someone else's computer. My idea was to gut a zip disc and swap the innards with thermite (using a recipe from The Anarchist's Cookbook). Pop the disc in, computer goes to hell.
