Midnight

It was only a gallon. The disappointment is mostly that I won't have a really weird drink this year.

I've heard cider can be made with unripe apples. Might be worth a shot.

I've got my continuous brew of kombucha going for my daily consumption.

On the more interesting side, I've got some spruce tip mead going which I'm hoping turns out well. There was a little bit of a scare where I was concerned it could be infected, but it seems fine.

Sadly, I was doing an experiment with sea lovage spiced mead which succumbed to mold and needed to be dumped. Something to retry next year.

This year's berry harvest is basically FUBAR. Global warming did a number on it so now there's near zero salmonberries and the ones which did appear are partially desiccated or only half ripe. So no salmonberry wine this year, probably even not enough for jam :(

Blueberries are way too early, but they're tasting fine at least. I'll probably try a blueberry wine or mead. Encountered a few hiccups last year because of their acidity, but I'm better equipped this year so hopefully that turns out well and I can bottle some stuff for the winter.

He has fortunately lost. Though I'm sure this same idea will be floated in the future by some AIs-are-gods type.

The US wasn't conducting a genocidal war in Afghanistan. The Russian government is explicitly attempting to erase Ukraine as an entity and anyone who calls themselves Ukrainian with it.

The Raccoon for Lemmy app has some weird bugs, one of them is marking draft posts NSFW without telling you. The post should be fixed now.

They went for a catchy headline which doesn't quite fit, but I'm a sucker for musing on ecology.

Marine mammals are stuck between a rock and a hard place currently. Theres highly pathenogenic avian influenza killing those that predate on seas birds and toxic algal blooms killing those that eat fish or bivalves.

I don't think this is about making autistic people go away or find a "cure". Even if we eliminated all BPA magically, people are still going to be born with autism.

As the study explains, its probably only one element of how autism develops, but understanding how environmental toxins effect human development is important.

That's not typically possible. The study shows how BPA acts like human hormones. It might be impossible to target it without also effecting the normal hormones or receptors.

Ngl I kinda want zeplin public transit.

neither party when elected do anything meaningful to secure the border or deport illegals.

It might shock you to learn the best way to prevent immigration is to make the countries experiencing outflows more stable and liveable, but I'm gonna take a wild guess you don't like foreign aid.

maintain demographics

There sure was a lot of hand wringing before you wrote down what your actual problem with immigration was.

Pray tell what is the ideal demographic make up if the United States?
