I'm not sure if it was the "heads" or what but the cocktail<br>was almost completely revolting and not something I would wish upon<br>my friends or enemies. 2/10 https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1742754978/#1:2:3 2025-03-24T09:32:29+00:00 2025-03-24T09:32:29+00:00 Just grab my attention someday and I'm happy to teach you! https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1742754978/#1:2 2025-03-24T08:35:34+00:00 2025-03-24T08:35:34+00:00 that would be cool but i don't know how to play backgammon. https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1720567555/#1:2:3:4:5 2025-03-23T18:43:03+00:00 2025-03-23T18:43:03+00:00 don'tcha know? the 'indie web' is content to be consumed!<br>come check out MY website all about ME with 3 blogposts!:<br>* new blog!<br>* big tech sucks!!!<br>* what I did today<br>read my 'about ME' page so you can contact me on d*scord https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1742754978/#1 2025-03-23T18:36:18+00:00 2025-03-23T18:36:18+00:00 Just a fun idea I had. We should collect a list of interested parties <br>for an April tournament, best of 10 (permitting use of doubling cube)<br>per match, maybe with a $5 buy-in per person <br><br>(winner gets 90% of funds, 10% of money goes toward paying VPS bill)<br><br>Playing for nothing is also fine but $5 feels like enough to stake <br>that the games would be a little more interesting but nothing to get<br>upset over. <br><br>Best of 10 may sound like a lot but incorporating the doubling cube,<br>1 game becomes 2 becomes 4 becomes 8 potentially very quickly... playing<br>with a small number of games per "match" gives RNG an advantage over <br>skill, which is something to be avoided https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1720567555/#1:2:3:4 2025-03-23T18:25:42+00:00 2025-03-23T18:25:42+00:00 it's funny how often we see comments like this on the site only for <br>the people who said it to disappear forever within days (not even<br>weeks) after saying it lol https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1712479885/#1:2:3 2025-03-23T18:24:06+00:00 2025-03-23T18:24:06+00:00 it also looks like shit not in tree mode btw :( https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1704728318/#1:34:35:36:37:38 2025-03-23T17:49:20+00:00 2025-03-23T17:49:20+00:00 Sampling jar #2 of the Trix cereal wine (72% ABV), mixing with cola.<br><br>The strongest flavors carrying through are corn with incidental <br>berry / lemon sweetness. But the heads and tails present hinder the <br>potential for tastiness. I feel like if it were to be distilled again,<br>aged hearts on oak would taste as a pretty tasty bourbon .. https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1704728318/#1:34:35:36:37 2025-03-22T21:24:40+00:00 2025-03-22T21:24:40+00:00 I got about ~4 liters out of my 18L 9% ABV Trix experiment.<br><br>700g of smashed and boiled Trix cereal with 3kg of sugar. <br>Fermented for 1 week, allowed to clear a bit before boiling<br><br>1st jar (1.5L) smells very fruity -- perhaps berries and citrus <br> ... but also very strong in alcohol<br>2nd jar (1.5L) is a bit more ambiguous. <br>3rd jar (~1L) is much more corny, but also weaker in alcohol. <br><br>I will likely incorporate this with my ~10L of "stripped" tomato paste<br>wash to make some kind of gin. The corn and berry notes should add a<br>nice complexity to the juniper, coriander, et al. https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1704728318/#1:34:35:36 2025-03-22T17:51:14+00:00 2025-03-22T17:51:14+00:00 The early part of the run has smelled very berry-like. Not what I was<br>expecting, though I never eat Trix cereal so I'm a poor judge.<br><br>As we approach the end of the run, the corn notes are starting to come<br>through. It's interesting how different smells and tastes come out at <br>different parts. https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1704728318/#1:34:35 2025-03-22T10:47:43+00:00 2025-03-22T10:47:43+00:00 Just started distilling the Trix cereal wine / beer! <br>I wonder how it'll turn out... https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1704728318/#1:34 2025-03-21T22:25:18+00:00 2025-03-21T22:25:18+00:00 Started 13 liters of apple cider a few hours ago... <br>airlocks beginning to show that fermentation has began<br><br>And tonight, I'll distill my "Trix Cereal" wine<br>(~18L water, 700g Trix cereal, 3kg sugar, yeast nutrient) <br>notes on smell and taste will come.... https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1709529769/#1:11 2025-03-21T22:23:45+00:00 2025-03-21T22:23:45+00:00 lukewarm english breakfast from lipton (bagged tea) https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1740850642/#1:3:5 2025-03-21T19:56:09+00:00 2025-03-21T19:56:09+00:00 I use MusicBrainz Picard to organize all my music in the form<br>~/Music/Insane Clown Posse/[1997] The Great Milenko/04 - Piggy Pie.mp3<br><br>and tinyMediaManager to sort shows and movies like<br>~/Videos/tv/Sorairo Utility(2025)/Season 1/Sorairo Utility - S01E06 - Special Round.mkv<br><br>using special software to consistently name/sort content saves a lot of<br>mental bandwidth, and has the bonus feature of being friendly with<br>media servers.

The world is pretty <br>interesting and the focus on character relations is done pretty well. <br><br>After I finish 4 I'm going to watch the Netflix series and start playing<br>Witcher 3 while I continue reading through the rest of the series. <br>These books feel like they could work really well as an anime or game<br>series as I read through them. It's not world-changing literature but<br>the entertainment level is pretty solid. I liked the references to<br>fairy tales in the first 2 books of short stories. <br><br>I don't think Witcher is as good as Lord of the Rings but it's better<br>than Game of Thrones. Fans of Dungeons and Dragons and classic RPG games<br>could probably really appreciate Witcher, and fans of fairy tales and<br>myth as well. https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1742320978/#1:2 2025-03-18T18:06:40+00:00 2025-03-18T18:06:40+00:00 Earlier this month, I read Dune 1-4. <br>I appreciate how each book goes in a different direction yet the<br>world of Dune still remains largely consistent with itself. <br><br>Dune #1 was probably the best but the sequels all take the concept<br>in interesting directions. I think the writing has aged pretty well. <br>But 3 return visits to Arrakis were enough for me.
