“Do no harm to the stockholders” would be the contemporary take.

I’ve got intelligible but that’s about it

Thanks! I’ll look into it!

Oh, that makes sense. I guess it be further research time. Thanks.

That’s ok. So do I.

Performing sufficiently for cheap production cost, they’d be a low RISC high reward investment.

I have a supposedly smart washing machine that came with the apartment. Setting it up in my locked down appliances network, it didn’t work with home-assistant, required cloud access and wanted me to open up ports in the firewall. Nope. No network connection for you. You are a regular dumb old washing machine.

It probably varies, but in principle yeah. Bread yeast main purpose is CO2 production and in winemaking gases are considered a side effect. Hence the refinement into different strains. Still, even 8% homemade wine is better than none.

There are also people doing all kinds of wild ferments with both wine and ciders from whatever yeasts happen to be in the air and battle it out and become dominant. Sort of you never know what you’ll end up with. I don’t know much about it but it seems like fun.

I think that wine yeasts are basically refined strains of the common bread yeast, saccharomyces cerevisiae. Actually a lot of traditional recipes for alcoholic beverages call for bread yeast, like beetroot sherry for example, because that’s what regular people had access to in the olden days.

It’s done by overriding the document.onrightclick and the selection start something function in the browser. Reset it and you’re done.

I know this because of a manufacturers website that does this. So incredibly annoying when the only reason anybody would want to copy from their webbo is for reference of their own products. In my case the product numbers to search for where to buy it.

Some time ago I had a fever dream confusing reality thing and when I woke up I had reason with myself that “no, I can’t run a program in my brain”. I couldn’t decide if it was a disappointment or a relief.

That’s true. Distillation is illegal here in Sweden, and honestly it’s too much of an effort for me personally anyway. So I’m thinking if I could build upon this into an interesting bitter brew of some sort, I could always mix it with vodka before bottling like when you make a liqueur.

I’d much appreciate any experience or recipes for herbs and methods if you’d like to share.

Thanks. That’s a bit discouraging that it will not dissipate.

But it just hit me now - maybe I could embrace the bitterness somehow instead. Like, figure out how to make a proper bitter, something related to a Fernet-Branca, but wine.

It’s a small batch, so maybe I’ll just save a couple of bottles and let them sit in some dark corner until I forget all about them and when I find them in some distant future it will be a surprise either way 🙃

I’ve been reading up on this. It seems when it comes excessive bitterness in food, there are a few strategies.

A couple of them are an obvious no go, like using fats or dairy. Then are plenty of advice to spice up to hide the bitterness, dunno if that is really appropriate either unless hot spicy chili wine becomes a thing.

A viable route might be that the bitter flavor can be reduced due to how human tastebuds perceive or prioritize by either making it more sweet or sour.

Finally, bitterness can come from alkaline pH, which I guess is why making it more sour might work, but both my chemistry (and biology) fu are shamefully weak. Interestingly one recommendation is to add baking soda to the overly bitter dish, but reading up on baking soda, it has a bitter taste itself due to being alkaline, so it sounds weird.

My plan now is to make a couple of testers with non fermentable sweetener and lemon juice, let them rest for a while and see if any of them seem worth it to try rescue the rest of the batch.

Any thoughts or comments?

They are very good for the economic elite and voted to power by idiots that think they’ll reap a fraction of the benefits of the economic elite. Also bigots and extremists love the right wing because everything in society will get worse so more people will be uphappy which will in turn feed more xenophobia and more extremism.

Treaties is maybe not the right word in English. NATO application for one, American military facilities in Sweden is another.

Swede here, in the revolving door of maybe NATO membership. I’d prefer the EU to have our own military union that is affiliated with NATO but isn’t devoted to American interests. Unfortunately it seems too late for such considerations with our right wing government signing treaties as fast as they can. Thanks, Putin.
