One of the greatest quotes ever was from Polish Mercenary RafaĆ Gan-Ganowicz when asked what it felt like to kill a human. "I don't know, I've only killed communists."
As a homebrewer I second that comment. Real IPA is very tasty. Most of the "Craft-Brewed" stuff in the stores is just a vastly over-hopped English mild. No balance to it at all, not enough starting gravity to justify the hops and they usually use the WRONG hops.
No. Which is one of the big reasons for the creation of American-style Pilsner beer. It travels better and is lighter flavor and texture that is perfect for America's much warmer temperatures.
"American style" pilsner was created by German immigrants and is different from the true German versions largely due to the type of barley that is grown in the US. The industrial brewery bull crap pumped out today in St.Lewis, Boulder, and Milwaukee likely tastes nothing like the real thing.The abortion made in most American breweries now days is created primarily from rice, corn syrup, and malt extracts. None of those are considered "real" beer ingredients in most other places in the world. Why do they use it? It's cheap. It's no different than any other processed food sold in the US. It ok though....put a Harley label on it, and the people but it right up.
#2. I am an iron worker. I use algebra daily. I guess thats just like my teacher said, some of you will use this, the rest of you will have someone else do the hard part for you.

Rough guess, that chopper is about 100 feet or so up. At that height, the effect will be about the same as jumping off an 8-storey building onto concrete. Kim du Toit
#2 Consider algebra the dipping your toe in the pool if you can handle something more intense. #1 I need that on back of a Tshirt. I need to figure out how to do that.
I hosted a Japanese student named Yu. I cannot count the times that I got corrected when I would say something like "Yu is going to" do this or that over the year she was with us. It was either "No I am not" or "You ARE...". In the latter case, I love being righteously indignant. Another oddity: Japanese point using their middle fingers. That took some work to break.
20, Do not forget.

Yet another meme hating on IPA. A real traditional IPA is good stuff. Nevermind that some hipster craft brewers go nutso screwing with it.

I have not found that real traditional IPA.

DeleteEvery one I’ve had has tasted like slightly alcoholic grapefruit juice.
DeleteThat being said, will it survive a trip around the Horn in a leaky wooden sailing ship and still taste like anything like beer?

DeleteYou can't handle my IPA
DeleteSorry no

ReplyDeleteI'm a Software developer.
DeleteAlgebra, use it almost every day at work.
Calculus, not nearly as often, but it still has its place.
Trig, I give the illusion of using it, but honestly I don't remember the theorems. I call the functions and do hand waving.
Geometry, that's part of the problem domain.
I’m a lineman and use algebra every day.
DeleteI'm an engineer, I use it daily.

I was an electrician. Algebra wasn't a daily use skill, like the Pythagorean theorem is, but still useful.
