My preschooler is a swing sommelier. Hopping on each swing, being pushed for 5-20 minutes, then going to the next. Meticulously judging and grading them all to determine the best at each playground

2 hours of work, lots of dumb mistakes, but it's ready! I'm now running a double tap for my kegerator!
Sierra Nevada Celebration IPA and my homebrew holiday saison both ready to serve.

Friend convinced me to pick up Peak because it's $5 from the Steam Winter Sale.
This was the best $5 I've spent in a long time. Ended up laughing with him for 2 hours as we went back and forth trying to climb and sabotage each other.

Just finished my 9th gallon of lifetime blood donation.
I do this while acknowledging the hospitals get this blood for pennies versus how much they sell it, while I get some snacks. I do this not because it's fair, but because those people in the hospital have no other option and need it to survive.

Bar napkin math, I need just under 6 lb of specialty honey to back sweeten this very special #homebrew #mead I have made. The question I am asking myself is do I just double it and get a full gallon of said specialty honey, because rarely having too much specialty honey on hand is a problem.

I despise Christmas music (pretty much the whole Christmas season). But here are 3 Christmas albums I'll listen to that won't turn everyone else into a Grinch with me.

I’m doing a music challenge in December that’s basically the opposite of Whamageddon.
You listen “Last Christmas” a number of times equal to the date. So yesterday I listened to it once, today I’m listening to it twice, tomorrow will be 3 times… etc.
This some rules and it’s time we all admit it.

The lead singer of Gorillaz just came out as non-binary. Good for them, but I think it might also be a ploy to give the character more depth.

Kids think they could best me at tag inside the first. Little do they know I've been training for this my whole life. I memorized and mastered the second in 30 minutes with a medium Pizza Hut pizza and a 2 liter of Mountain Dew when I was 12. And I've only been getting better.

Told my kids that Santa's elves are the bad kids that are forced to work off their poor behavior. They were about to get a tour of the North Pole.

It's official, the Brewfather beer recipe app is trying to incorporate AI. And not just machine learning with their massive recipe library to help give ideas on recipe tweaks, but Gen AI powered by Open AI.
When this update goes live (with probably a nice price increase) I'm gone.

Homebrew is a term invented by big beer and wine to make you think the booze you make yourself is inferior to theirs.
Homebrew is a term invented by Big Game to discourage the average person from being a game designer.
Homebrew is only homebrew if it never leaves your home game, otherwise it's sparkling game design.

As a reminder this holiday season:
Only 3% of eligible blood donors donate
1/7 hospitalizations require blood
And December is one of the slowest months for donations while the need is constant
If able, please, give the gift of life this holiday season and schedule a donation.

I know these Terry's chocolate oranges are sold year round. But I only want them this time of year.
There's other food like this, regularly available but for some reason seasonal, right?

TTRPG discourse is at it again, so here's my evergreen take on ALL of them:
It's a personal preference that you're assigning mortality to. Just talk to your table and align. And if you play with others who prefer the other, give it a fair shot because preference can change.
Go forth and roll well.
