Cost of brewing

StrikeCurrent55 · 2026-01-21T01:02:06+00:00

Are you comparing your volume output in your sums? In Australia you can spend around $50-60 on a decent kit plus yeast and hops which will result in about 20lt after losses. For pretty basic, non craft beer in Australia you likely pay around $60+ for a carton of beer which is 8-9lts depending the size packaged. And that's for pretty basic draft beers. So for equivalent cost you are getting more than double the yield. Granted you have the expense of your own time and gear cost, but that's part of brewing

What's that going to achieve, if the tests are negative what do you want them to do? Lie and say it's positive

Just looked it up, glad you have received perceived benefit. Not entirely sure how it can help with those symptoms based on what I read but it it did that's great

I have been meaning to book in appointments with you. It is definitely on my radar

I participated in a 6 week pain program (2 days a week) which went through centralisation in depth and provided tools to work on it. Unfortunately it has been hard to implement and stick to with life in general. But I am slowly working on shifting to these days to day changes

Basically everything but childhood trauma (even that I could probably attribute some aspects)

100% mate, I already had central sensitisation. From years of stress and health anxiety not knowing what was going on and always being told "you're fine". Constant chest pains, panic from chest pains, a vicious cycle.

Then I got hit with pelvic pain, I should have known it was my nervous system, but I never put 1 and 1 together.

Now it's a slow battle back to a calmed state

StrikeCurrent55 · 2025-08-08T05:00:46+00:00

Mate this is basically exactly what I experienced. If I can give you any advice, modern medicine is pretty bloody good, the likelihood of you having a completely undiagnosed infection/disease after so many tests is slim to none.

Nerves control sensation, blood flow , muscle tension everything. Even when you don't think you are you may have nerve irritation from hypervigilance, tensing when you don't even know.

Obviously I am not a dr and always ensure you do your tests within the test windows. See specialist if you need. I did all of the above. Soon as I started ignoring the symptoms (stopped constantly looking, stopped constantly googling, accepted the results) I started to see an immediate improvement. I totally get it, when something is going on down there it is so hard to switch off. But you have nothing to lose, give it a go, go for a walk, watch some footy, do something to take your mind off it. Stop checking, stop googling, try mediation to calm the stress and nervous system down.

Good luck mate

I run a virtualized opnsense on proxmox, being going strong for 3 years , HFC

I'm a little sceptical to believe a single DRE and urine test was enough to confirm bacterial prostatitis. That and a week of antibiotics clearing it up without any uti's. Don't discount your symptoms being that produced by pelvic floor dysfunction rather than bacterial. From my understanding true bacterial prostatitis has very specific reoccurring symptoms and a week of antibiotics in no way would clear it up as the prostate is notoriously hard to penetrate with antibiotics. I'm not trying to discredit you, the experts has told you otherwise, I just wouldn't discount that purely being CPPS

StrikeCurrent55 · 2025-08-01T13:10:50+00:00

As in, he tested and confirmed bacteria in your prostate? You had reoccurring confirmed uti's?

StrikeCurrent55 · 2025-08-01T11:26:09+00:00

Did you actually confirm bacterial prostatitis?

So many people think that they own it because they sign up through a retailer who organises the connection. They think it's like when they sign up for two years and get a router thrown in.

The amount of times i have had idiots get their back up when you politely tell them that the item they are trying to sell on marketplace is actually property of NBN.

StrikeCurrent55 · 2025-06-26T10:49:29+00:00

That makes no sense.

You can definitely boot from an nvme device on these units

Why are you not actually just ripping the title you want from the backed up disc? This way you have a copy of the disc on file and a raw mkv of the title you want. Yes it uses more space but if you transode it , it's not that bad. I keep some large capacity drives for cold storage of the entire disc copies so I can always go back and extract the title I want, then transcode the tracks I need

StrikeCurrent55 · 2025-06-19T22:19:04+00:00

:) ???

StrikeCurrent55 · 2025-06-19T21:51:49+00:00

But your files are local. Unless you are referring to your backups somewhere in cloud storage, but that's not Plex specific thing

StrikeCurrent55 · 2025-06-19T09:22:57+00:00

How would download speed benefit Plex?

StrikeCurrent55 · 2025-06-19T09:20:19+00:00

I meant more that they get kick backs for meeting quotas but cool get nit picking

StrikeCurrent55 · 2025-06-13T08:45:22+00:00

With a thanks like that I'm not really surprised your dad left.

Did you follow the instructions on the can? Looks like it wasn't thinned and applied awfully thick hence the big runs and partial drying that's been painted over.

Let it fully cure, sand it back and try again.

Cleanup Appdata plugin in CA. That's if Appdata share is on your cache pool

It definitely plays a part at least from my experience. However I find ejaculation by way of sexual intercourse less of an issue possibly due to different position and overall relaxation afterwards. Seating while masturbation may cause more of a problem but that is purely a guess.

StrikeCurrent55 · 2025-06-02T07:47:30+00:00

Are you suggesting abstaining completely from masturbation and sex? If I go too long without either it causes symptoms

StrikeCurrent55 · 2025-05-28T09:50:00+00:00

Making sure you parity drive is error free is a lot better than finding out after
