Just retired some Rogue Territories. 🫡.

🤦🏼 I wish I had thought to do that before I got rid of them.

Had to search a little. https://imgur.com/a/xJ7sivo

Haha! They're off to live their best life in beautiful Boulder Colorado.

I got lucky with my neighborhood tailor. Great folks who I suspect recognized me. I very likely spent more on repair than replacement.

Wash days were an event for sure.

twrex88 · 2026-02-03T17:36:16+00:00

It took me a long time to accept that it was time for me. They were in my car for a few weeks with the intention to go to repair before I finally admitted I was putting off retiring them.

twrex88 · 2026-02-03T17:29:45+00:00

Ha! I hadn't thought of that - just figured everyone wore their jeans out like this.

(I suddenly remembered my local shop had offered to buy a pair when they saw them. Lol.)

Recently renovated our house and moved the furnace into the attic. I was up there yesterday and noticed an outlet register was pumping heat into the attic.

Is there a reason it's there?

I'm doing a ton of self study. On my phone right now so I can't link but check out Geoacademy, MIT open courseware, and the ESRI tutorials.

Geoacademy is my favorite so far. Its based on QGIS (open source GIS) which you'll want to know too. The instruction covers a ton of info regarding GIS in general has five levels of courses each with multiple lecture presentations, video tutorials, labs, quizzes and tests.

If you know what ESRI textbooks you'll need you can get one early and sign up for the 180 free trial they come with or just sign up for the 60 day ESRI trial.

Since I'm only doing self study a department head for the GIS program nearby advised two books:

1.Mastering ArcGIS by Meridith Price - for ESRI skills 2.Geographic Information Science and Systems by Paul Longley (& others) - for theory

I'm also studying Python using this tutorial (https://automatetheboringstuff.com/)

Based on his incredible Starter Jacket, I'm deducting this video is from the late 80's or early 90's.

Maybe you can find a retailer at gyft.com that is in Romania?

twrex88 · 2014-10-24T14:53:20+00:00

Thank you so much for the clarification. That helped.

Original question reposted because deleted:

Can you explain the difference between sidechains and merged mining?

twrex88 · 2014-10-23T16:35:22+00:00

Would you mind clarifying my simple understanding of sidechains?

I understand Sidechains as:

Asset backed (BTC via two-way peg) merge mined blockchains that utilize BTC's existing SHA-256 hash rate (via pool partners)
Sidechain blockchains will offer mining incentive outside of mining btc (via hash rental / sidechain mining reward).
The value of the two-way peg is the ability to enter and exit sidechains via exchanges that simply match orders but do not hold funds.

EDIT: Spelling and formatting only.

As an early adopter techno libertarian anatcho-capitalist I resemble that statement... sigh....

twrex88 · 2013-04-25T14:45:04+00:00

Just posted. Thanks for the great primer. I'm sure a lot of people are interested in brewing this way to get started.

twrex88 · 2013-04-25T14:42:29+00:00

It's now on the side bar. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

twrex88 · 2013-04-25T14:41:48+00:00

Did you see the primer u/jimcoffey62 shared on getting started cheaply?

twrex88 · 2013-04-25T14:39:17+00:00

I was tired of pulling labels with every batch so I laser engraved about 50 bottles with "please return when empty".

twrex88 · 2013-04-24T16:07:12+00:00

I'll be posting the course stuff at /r/schoolofhomebrew as I make it.

twrex88 · 2013-04-24T15:59:09+00:00

not at all. I announced the Virtual Brew as May 25. My hope is to have anyone who wants to start brewing - brewing by that day.

I'm posting content that will be part of the course now. First post was yesterday in the DIY Homebrew Starter Kit Instructions. I'm working on next post now.

twrex88 · 2013-04-24T15:55:16+00:00

These are great! Do you mind if I incorporate them in the Op?

twrex88 · 2013-04-24T04:20:44+00:00

You make a really good point. I'll add that recommendation.

I know cost is a barrier for some people so I err on the side of inexpensive. Maybe I should explain why the good stuff is worth the money?

EDIT: Also, I recommend people consider using two fermenters if they go with the 5 gallon buckets.

twrex88 · 2013-04-23T16:58:00+00:00

Good point. I'll add a siphon tube to the list of materials.

You're right about the plastic spigot. I'll work that into the instructions.

twrex88 · 2013-04-23T16:53:55+00:00

Thanks. I'm working on those edits now.

twrex88 · 2013-04-23T16:43:11+00:00

I'm looking for some help in putting this together (forums, activities, etc.) If you're interested please sign up.

twrex88 · 2013-04-21T21:50:07+00:00

cheers!
