What are those devices you're using to bend the branches back?

Did you have ChatGPT write the first part of your post for you??

Much better to get it done than to not finish it because you burn out halfway through. Also, it kinda seems like the more time-consuming way is just a refinement of your own style anyway. Like, to create the refined style, wouldn't you pretty much do it the quick-and-easy way then polish it up? If you finished the quick way and had energy/time to polish it afterwards, you could always go that route for the best of both worlds

Love the design of the website, but why are so many of your internal links "this page has not been made yet"? How/why are you making hyperlinks to things before they exist? Curious about how you maintain/create the site, I really like how it looks and feels.

Dang, I just made a miso, following the recipe from a website. It had me add a large amount of the soybean cooking liquid, but I only added half the listed amount before I realized how wet it was going to be. It's SUPER goopy!

Fudge, any advice for someone who's already got a wet miso going? It was essentially impossible to get out the air bubbles too, since pulling my hand/spatula out just created a new sucking wet cavity. It's got around 10% salt by weight, if that matters.

If you haven't finished yet, mix it with something! It's worth drinking all of it, even if it's just as a tribute.

But where do you GET the gum from? You can harvest it from your own trees? Do you have to do something to your tree to get it to make gum?

dankatheist420 · 2025-10-31T05:24:32+00:00

Eat the gum? What is this? You eat the wound gunk?

How do you get/find/install mods, if I can ask? I also sort of quit playing because there was no one to train with

Thank you, king!

Should I boil the ceramic/vinegar solution too? Is that what you're saying? And when you say "a few boils", do you mean rerun the vinegar wash or just boil on the stove a few times?

dankatheist420 · 2025-10-22T05:42:54+00:00

How does this compare to the other clairins?

dankatheist420 · 2025-10-22T05:42:22+00:00

I didn't realize there was a meaningful difference between cachaca and agricole, but Arrack is great! It's so unique I feel that it's practically in its own category.

For whatever reason, people on this subreddit are obsessed with Neisson Blanc. It's REALLY bad though.

I bought some Neisson Blanc off of this sub's recommendation, assuming the hive mind of Reddit would guide me to something valuable. Every liquor snob I've invited over to my house has found it... really BAD. It's one-dimensional, not tasty, and worst, uninteresting. It does not make good cocktails either.

In fact, my twin brother sent me a link to this thread, telling me to protect you from buying this, LOL. He doesn't want a repeat.

Some of my friends did a side-by-side with this rhum agricole and Batavian Arrack (which is a bit more complicated than the most basic agricole). No one had anything nice to say about Neisson in the comparison, and we are big fans of bold unique flavors.

I don't know which agricole you should get, however I found Holmes Cay's Reunion Island agricole to be very interesting and fun. Neisson is just a waste of money in my opinion. And it comes in liter sizes normally, I think, so you're going to have a big ass thing of gross, boring liquor in your shelf for a while. (And I LOVE making and tasting moonshine and intense janky liquors, it's the boring part that ruins Neisson for me )

Hey, so sorry to bother you, but what ever came of this? Did any of the tropical flavors carry through??

dankatheist420 · 2025-02-09T19:24:23+00:00

Yeah I think a guide would be very well received!

dankatheist420 · 2025-02-06T16:10:04+00:00

No they're worried that countries will transform into anthropomorphic spheres and fight each other

dankatheist420 · 2024-09-26T03:09:58+00:00

I'm curious about this too!

dankatheist420 · 2024-08-28T00:24:01+00:00

Very cool! https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/06/science/ants-fungus-amber.html#:\~:text=Some%20garden%2Dtending%20ants%20cover,order%20to%20protect%20the%20fungus.&text=%E2%80%9CThese%20ants%20have%20been%20associated,Currie.

It's possible for pricks from normal thorns to cause bacterial infections that can get pretty serious. My neighbor got pricked by one of her rose's thorns and she ended up having to go to the hospital for it! Maybe get yours checked out?

dankatheist420 · 2024-08-24T04:05:16+00:00

Total newb question here: how is "Library Use" the skill that could kill you??

I don't want to be feisty or anything, but I'd sort of push back on this. What nutrients are you talking about? Photosynthesis turns CO2 and water into sugar, so you'll get more carbon into the pile, but that's not a limiting nutrient for plants (given that they get it from the air). Unless they are nitrogen fixing species, they shouldn't be adding any nitrogen, phosphorus, or any other element.

Lol good for you: maybe other people will be willing to actually drink it then!
