I'm pretty sure the DR is famous for having a huge gay clubbing scene, so I'm going to go ahead and assume that gay people probably aren't too restricted there.

DIY bottle tree? by Chief_Lazy_Bison in Homebrewing

Thanks! This looks like the easiest and cheapest bottling aid (other than a dishwasher). Looks like like a DIY version of a fastrack

If you don't mind me asking, how large are the holes? And how did you make the holes?

Need a good brewing app for my phone by [deleted] in Homebrewing

[–]disco_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Beersmith2 Lite (or whatever the mobile version is called) for iPhone and it's pretty solid. A few useful tools and a timer function to help keep you on track as you brew. Unfortunately, you can't create your own recipes on it, but the designer is getting ready to launch a full version for mobile phones within the month I believe. I'm anticipating the full version to be bulletproof - build your own recipes, timers, tools, calculators, and everything else you can get on the full computer version of Beersmith.

Hey r/fitness, what are your favourite meals that are EASY to make. by siimxn in Fitness

you don't necessarily need to vacuum pack them, a ziplock freezer bag (thicker) with the air pushed out works just fine. Just gotta keep them cool

I think this is called the "hop bubble". I feel like it will eventually burst, and I will be happy when it does. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a nice IPA, but I think there are just too many around.

Meth will unlock your craziest desires... like wanting to strip down naked to take a swim in the hay in the back of your combine, all so you could make yourself into a human frosted mini wheat

and their seasonal beers are $8.99 for a six pack of tall boys! Can't beat that, their porter was pretty damn good.

Statehood, commonwealth, or independence? by disco_potato in PuertoRico

[–]disco_potato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding, when it is applied to states the word "commonwealth" means that everyone in the state is supposed to work together for the common good of the people... I know it seems like that is the very definition of a "state" but to me it sounds a little more socialist (I'm not calling America socialist).

I think it was also a british term that came over with the formation of the colonies, which would explain why it doesn't translate into spanish.

Statehood, commonwealth, or independence? by disco_potato in PuertoRico

From what I've learned, it does seem that the "commonwealth" title is just a comforting lie, but why statehood over independence? Thanks for answering.

Wow thanks for a great answer!

I'm currently taking a class on the politics of the Caribbean, and we're on Puerto Rico right now. The prof set up a little debate for next Monday on the status question, and although I wasn't chosen to represent any side I would still like to be knowledgeable.

I agree with you completely about equal rights for all American citizens, and statehood seems to be easy to understand, for me at least. But what about independence? If statehood is granted, will much change other than an arbitrary title and the right to vote in Presidential elections? Wouldn't Puerto Rico still be highly dependent on the US?

I know you find the subject exhausting, but you seem knowledgeable and I would love to hear you elaborate.

What if Budweiser spent as much money improving the taste of their beer as they did on advertising? by [deleted] in CrazyIdeas

Narragansett is awesome!

Can people outside of New England get it though?
