I see 4

USA. Been working 20 years. Every job has been 8 to 5, unpaid 1h lunch, 2x15min paid breaks. :(

I do care. It makes them happy, I want them to be happy, so transitively, yes.

That’s only the alcohol stuff, lol. I also do sourdough, yogurt, other natural sodas, and lacto pickles.

The key is to only get the red guts and avoid anything slightly white

Did that

definitely dont boil the juice either or youll get a carrot flavor

I did heat pasteurize, but not boil. Just 160/180F (I can’t remember exactly).

it’ll taste almost like cucumber

Eh, I’m not getting cucumber. Maybe? It’s mostly just SOUR with some watermelon notes.

a bit of back sweetening makes the watermelon flavor come back with a vengeance.

this is what I’m thinking

Success - Blond smash. Once again proves that 5 weeks in the bottle is a magic number. 4 weeks? Eh. 5 weeks? AMAZING.

Failure - Watermelon wine. It’s just sour. Not in a good way, at all. Tastes kinda like the rind, though there was no rind in it. Maybe backsweetening?

Waiting - choc hazelnut porter. choc comes thru, hazelnut not at all. Needs more aging time. I feel like darker beers need more time. It’s almost 3 months, gonna test it.

Fermenting - ginger bugged root beer. Made root beer syrup to make root beer soda. Was ok, needs work. Remaining half into a 1 gal fermenter. It was due 2 weeks ago, but it’s fine. It’ll need back sweetening and bottle carb, but that’ll be another drumroll 5 weeks.

On deck - It’s time for a holiday beer. Something spiced. IDK what. It takes 2 months, so it’ll be ready early December if I start now. Hmm…

Nothing so meme lord. Pure watermelon. It’s so sour, and not in a good way. It tastes like underripe watermelon rind. It probably didn’t need acid added and it should be back sweetened.

I need friends like you. I would have eaten so much I felt ill. Then helped clean. (I love cleaning, I know I’m weird.)

In reverse, I’d never throw a party like that because my anxiety is exactly afraid it’ll turn out like you said.

What issues?

Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s requiem. It’s an older game, GameCube era. I don’t like horror games and this one isn’t true horror. There are some good jump scares and body horror though. I had to stop after a certain scene because of the jump scares. The sanity system is really great.

I like answering with completely bullshit made up stories. Over the top, but still comprehensible. It’s obvious they’re fake, but there’s no hard proof of it.

I’ve also been through at least several primary care physicians because the ones I have seen are so short and don’t really take time to get to know you at all. They just pop in, ask you a handful of questions and leave, if your test results come back with anything abnormal, they say it’s nothing to worry about, they don’t want to take any extra time to help look into anything or diagnose you… like wtf?

Because we’re not people to them. They’re incentivized to treat us like cars. Repair as fast and as many as you can to get the most money.

Oh, thanks!

What’s beather? Web searching isn’t giving good results.

that YT link doesn’t need anything after the and-sign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGAqYNFQdZ4

emotion, anger and hate requires effort and as a very lazy person it seems like a whole lot of effort misspent

Not to me. Emotions just are. My parents taught me a lot of bigoted ways and those emotions just rise up. I had to argue with myself against those thought, after I moved out and grew up.

mmmmmm envious. I need an apple source.
