I was going to make a John Bolton joke but apparently he has been vocal about war with Venezuela being a bad idea 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you end up with a shelf-stable product that way? If so, why do you reckon no one brews that way commercially?

Combine them, an urban bourbon

It’s not just sterilizing it though, right? It’s precipitating proteins and isomerizing alpha acids. Even if people were superstitious or thoughtless, you would think today a cost-cutting brewery would eliminate the boil if feasible.

It’s a pretty significant expense. Presumably beer that has to travel or last for a while pretty much has to be boiled right? Else they would have saved the money

I haven’t seen much of his work but Travesties was really fun

No! I will look for it

Niche reference but in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Poirot’s neighbor Caroline Shepard (the narrator’s sister) brings him medlar jelly. I think it’s meant to be quintessentially English, but old-fashioned.

And it didn’t break the bank

That was the original joke

Yeah. When you beat the Patriots that one guy ate horse shit for some reason. Still a joyous occasion.

No shame in losing to the Bears though. They’re 8-3 and, more importantly, they’re the Bears.

One of my favorite articles (although as I reread it, maybe not pertinent to RDR2)

I don’t know the data but my suspicion is that cars are cheaper than horses on a per-mile basis and we ended up taking that surplus mostly in the form of more miles rather than money saved

If this is about Nature publishing garbage, the warning sign was when they kept publishing papers from Ranga Dias after having to retract his previous paper for troubling reasons

This is very similar to what @proptermalone.bsky.social did with soda
