I buy bob’s red mill muesli and eat it with milk. I don’t soak it or anything like that. I call it “horse food” but it is fast, nutritious, and satisfies the “breakfast cereal” craving.

I really enjoyed this article, although I love games with gameplay loops and bounce hard off of games with narrative. I wonder what the author would think of Hades?

That seems very reasonable to me.

I guess I feel the same way about that as I do about a steak. How do I know that the steak is the 16oz I ordered? Ultimately the most important part is if I found the experience satisfying enough to return, not whether the steak was within .5oz of its stated measurement.

My understanding is Belgian beer culture considers the aroma to be an important part of the experience. But I’ve never been, that’s all through osmosis.

Look, I get it. Beer is expensive, these days. Always has been. But I feel like these movements miss the forest for trees.

If we mandate beer volume then places that are “shorting” you will just raise the prices. Not to mention the tax on beer that would be required to pay for the inspection service. No one likes feeling like they got less than they paid for, but there’s solution is to take your business elsewhere.

Also, you know what really annoys me? When a bartender pulls a pint for me, and it’s up to the brim with no foam. Foam is part of the joy of a crisp beer. It adds aroma and anticipation. If I wanted to drink something with no foam I’d drink a soda. And in my heart of hearts (or stomach if stomachs?) I fear that’s where these arguments lead.

This also speaks to another point, when trying to lose weight: you must find new things to enjoy.

+1 for Serious Eats. I also like NYT cooking. I do not like Bon Appetit, I find most of their recipes to not turn out well.

I consider myself to be on the lower conscientiousness side of the spectrum. For others who are like me, what has worked best to improve myself in this area are these two things:

1) develop empathy and compassion for yourself. celebrate wins, and analyze losses.

2) make small, concrete steps to simplify your environment. as the above commentor mentioned, task completion is expensive. however, some things decrease the cost of task completion or increase your available energy. among these are: habits, good sleep, consistent exercise, a decluttered environment, proper nutrition.

together these form a virtious cycle, improving your capacity to make meaningful decisions by either increasing the energy you have available to you, or by decreasing energy drain from other areas.

finally, remember that some things are not worth thinking too much about.

I like Liftosaur, which appears to have an Android version on the Play store.

>I sympathize. I won't offer platitudes. I find those don't lessen grief.

The most meaningful thing someone ever said to me, after my daughter was stillborn full term, was: "There is nothing to say."

To add on, different yeasts also vary in their ability to metabolize carbohydrates. In general, a wine yeast will be less able to metabolize complicated carbohydrates than a beer yeast. Beer yeast tends to be more sensitive than wine to alcohol levels. More importantly, it's possible Rwanda lacks any serious brewer's yeast industry that is suitable. Kveik may be able to ferment at both 37C and up to 16% ABV but that's definitely an unusual trait in a yeast and I would not be surprised if they resulting wine was... funky.
