  • Yes. There are exceptions, but most American beer usually fall into ine of two categories:

    1. Water.
    2. Infused with a bunch of stuff that shouldn’t be anywhere near beer, in an effort to have it not taste like water.

    At least these are the common denominators for most well known beers.

    Exceptions, off the top of my head:
    Blue Moon
    Shiner Boch
    Some weird local brew I stumbled across in Galveston
    While it doesn’t hold a lot of flavor, I do enjoy Miller now and then.





  • “No, not that one, It’s GPLv3, which is evil”
    “Actually it’s BSD licensed”
    “Even worse!”
    “OK, how about this one, it hasn’t been maintained for 20 years and is still under GPLv2”
    “OK, fine”

    Spends several days trying to satisfy a broken dependency tree of a 20 year old light bulb









  • I’m curious whether keyboard layout matters. Around 15 years ago I came to the conclusion that I would be using a keyboard as part of both job and hobby for the rest of my life, and while typing didn’t cause any issues, I did notice some discomfort after really long days. This prompted me to try layouts with fewer awkward keystrokes, and this discomfort disappeared with Dvorak.

    And just for the record, I don’t buy the claim you hear some places that Dvorak allows you to type faster. That was never part of my equation anyway.




  • I considered it, but decided against it.

    Fun fact: There’s no flat surface around my house for doing it. Nor is it sheltered, and it usually rains sideways where I live. So my usual place to do these things is inside a 2km long mountain tunnel 5min drive from my house. There I can change oil, brakes, seasonal tyres, with no wind or precipitation, and temperature above freezing. In the middle of the tunnel there is a large excavated space on the side of the road where the snow plow turns around, so it’s not like I’m blocking traffic either.

    Those are usually connected to a light switch for connecting ceiling lights. Especially in older houses from when it was common to have many dim lights instead of few bright ones.

    Seeing as it’s grounded, that one is new-ish… before the 80’s, it would probably not have been grounded.

    Also, close to a window tells me that its primary use nowadays is for christmas lights.
