Hell even on the issue of Cuba specifically, during his presidency Trump chose to undo the progress Obama had made. He has already made it worse

I kinda want to start describing sensible people as "hinged" now

You can usually remove predicted words if this starts happening. On mine, it's done by pressing and holding the prediction, then confirming. If you use the name Scott regularly anyway, it'll re-learn it without the incorrect association

Most of Iceland's energy usage is from geothermal sources, but only about a quarter of the electricity is. They do a lot of direct heating with it, literally just heating up a whole bunch of water and running that hot water through pipes to houses and pavements and such, rather than having electricity-powered heating elements everywhere. Most of their electricity production is from hydro though, so it's still very clean

If you like beer, it's probably cheaper and easier to get started with. The process is much less sensitive to air exposure, you can get kilos of malted barley dead cheap (at least where I am, but I would expect it to always be cheaper than grapes), and best of all you don't need to age it so you can try your work f as r quicker

I don't know what it's like in Sweden, but at least anecdotally here in the UK I really appreciate not seeing discarded plastic bags floating about in the wind nearly so often. People were up in arms about it when it came in, but it seems like it worked. Could've done without working at Subway at the time, though. Pricks ordering a shitty sandwich with every sauce and extra on it and then getting pissed at me because a plastic bag to go around the already-wrapped sandwich that they are going to immediately unwrap and eat increases the cost by 1% were a dishearteningly common occurrence.

Looks like someone had basically the same idea at the same time with another character, only the punchline was that "nobody" challenged the thing instead of Everett (forcefully) doing it

Old Nobody is the character of another comic from the same time period, by Clifton Meek. Meek apparently ghost-wrote a few Everett True comics as well. It seems like Nobody's gimmick started off with more or less the exact same first panel as Everett comics, but Nobody's thing would be that he would never actually challenge the problem because he's "nobody"

Russian invasion of Ukraine is becoming a Korea-Korea proxy war

Assuming 0.125%, it's very roughly 10% of the original total every three months for the first year

Not all instances/clients show those display names. I'm on kbin.earth and it doesn't, I just see the underlying account name. It sounds like you're seeing the same. But if I go look at Wheelchar's profile on lemmy.world, which is their instance, it shows both "WheelchairArtist" and "@WheelcharArtist"

Stein and Oliver both do, though that's certainly not going to make a difference in their actual chances

Shoutout to poleslav for telling me to ignore the thermometer and giving general encouragement. My distillation efficiency was absolutely terrible and I got the balance of juniper and hibiscus way off, so it's sweeter than I intended, but it's definitely pleasantly drinkable.

For those that can't read my handwriting, it was a super basic barley mash to make the base alcohol, then juniper, hibiscus, rose, and elderflower as botanicals.

 

Over a decade in the works and two since Time I, it is here. I've only had one listen so far, and not really enough to offer an actual review, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I think I'm going to be coming back to the guitar solo two third of the way through Storm quite a bit.

 

I'm particularly fond of heather ales and spruce beers. The only sahti (which has juniper) I've had was made by me, so I have no idea if I got it traditionally right, but I certainly enjoyed it. No disrespect to all you IPA lovers out there, but the hops-forward style isn't my thing, so for those of you that are in the same camp, where do you like to turn?
