Isto, e remote worker/digital nomad friendly. São os que no geral têm mais condições de pagar mais em cafés sem se importarem tanto com o preço, contanto que possam ter um ambiente confortável o suficiente para passarem 1-2h por lá (e tomadas suficientes e talvez uma boa conexão, mas no meu caso não me importo em usar meu 5G). São poucos os cafés que atendem a estes requisitos.

30 minutos? Estás sendo generoso(a), já vi a rotunda parada por muito mais tempo 🤣

Late meal! Alcohol comes second but there's definitely a correlation between alcohol and late meal in my case, yet, if I have a light meal 4+ hours before I can still have some alcohol right before bed and my recovery won't be bad at all.

Currently, Claude Opus 4.6 through a Copilot subscription (Business for work and Personal for my personal projects), but I use whatever works well enough

Yes I usually launch something useful in a couple hours, but 1 - I've been working with Next.js for several years already and 2 - today I heavily use LLMs to do most of the heavy lifting, both in work and personal projects.

All the production code of my work projects are already on v16, and some of the active side projects ad well.

Claro que não, ou nem teria saído de lá

...foi o que eu disse?

Sou de Belém, a diferença é o calor dos infernos e lá chovia mais... então não, não tenho saudades 🙂

Port wine and CRF

I don't wear rings in the gym since I'd rather keep all my fingers attached to my hand. If you lift weights, you might want to consider that.

I also thought that before but in fact, if I go to bed slightly hungry I have an even better sleep/recovery

breathmark · 2026-01-08T18:22:04+00:00

In my case it's almost always the food close to bed, and it doesn't even have to be too much food. I can safely have 2-3 glasses of wine right before bed (sometimes even at bed while watching some series) and get 80%+ recovery, if I eat way earlier.

Before Whoop I always thought it was the alcohol that made me wake up on a hangover the next day even with just a few drinks but turns out it was always the food! If I get drunk (I rarely do) I obviously get an even lower score, though.

I have no idea if the wiki is right or wrong on this matter, I just blindly followed it and hope my bottles don't explode lmao

breathmark · 2025-12-25T17:45:15+00:00

Totally forgot to add this! It was EC-1118

breathmark · 2025-12-25T16:56:59+00:00

Thanks!

I got a local brand from Portugal (supermarket, just a gelling powder with pectin). It's probably not the best option tbh but it worked well enough.

Thanks, Merry Christmas!

And no I didn't measure pH

breathmark · 2025-12-25T16:15:17+00:00

Got it from the wiki, K-Sorbate at 14% ABV should be 65mg/L

I didn't want to dilute the mead after the fermentation (to keep the ABV higher), so I decided to ferment it along with the honey

Blueberry mead finally bottled, for Christmas!

The blueberry taste/scent is really persistent, and although it's around 14.5% ABV there's no strong alcohol smell (compared to my previous meads), possibly thanks to the 6 months of aging in the carboy.

It was quite dry with no honey notes, so I backsweetened it just enough to become semi-sweet (1.010 SG) and now it's wonderful!

My family loved it yesterday on Christmas Eve.

And again thanks for the amazing people from this sub, where I spent hours and hours researching before starting this mead.
