I remember reading on that other site at some point about airline pilots and the ‘guard’ channel which is supposedly used for shitposts. Any pilot on here that can confirm? This about the discipline of airline pilots.
Seems like they went for a lambic style and barrel aged it quite a lot. Wonder what that tastes like. Overripe blue cheese tends to be a bit harsh on the ammonia.
I might be biased, but I would have gone for a chocolate stout. Blue cheese and chocolate go together.
Seems like one of those things you’d serve in a 200 ml portion size. Nevertheless, I’d try it for the sheer novelty. It can’t be any worse than those lambics they sell with added artificial (non-fermentable, that is) sweeteners.
They look unused. I never thought of re-use, but I would assume that if you’re just opening a bottlecap without much care for preserving the cap (like when they sort of get bent down the middle) you’d be deforming it beyond re-use. It needs to be able to form a uniform seal around the bottle opening when capped and any bend will prevent that.
Never thought of trying out some bottle caps I tried not to damage when opening because they were pretty though.
you’re fighting a losing battle. ‘having kids is a good thing’ is the only piece of propaganda that is distributed to probably every human. and probably the oldest one, too. it’s also a base instinct, sort of hard to override by reasoning, as anyone who’s ever been horny or hungry can probably attest. this is probably the best example on here related to the posted question.
I can suggest a mead with some fruit juice (i forget the name for that style). Honey, water, fruit juice and some spices and you should have a nice base. I’d think possibly currants or blue/blackberries might work well. Or cranberries, but add less, just enough for acidity and colour. Then the tannins you mention shouldn’t overpower the batch.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can caramelize some of that honey beforehand. Not a lot, just enough to bring some walnut/hazelnut flavour. Add some cinnamon maybe and I’m picturing a drinkable christmas cake.
Any sort of EU federal state I would agree is nigh impossible - as it stands currently there is some lack of overlap on freedom of movement without border checks (the Schengen area) and currency adoption (all members except Denmark are obligated to adopt the Euro at some point in time, but Sweden at least doesn’t seem to have any real intention of doing so) within EU member states.
On top of that, ‘muh freedumb, they want to take away our right to self-govern’ is used as a very efficient talking point for nationalist parties in all EU member states to shift public opinion against the EU (some possibly due to propaganda, others due to homegrown ideology). Any decision of importance within the EU has to be unanimous, so pretty sure there will be at least one state vetoing any motion to become a federal state.
Maybe once world peace is achieved, there can be an EU federal state, though even then I’d be skeptical.
For any brexit reversal, I understand the main issue would be that as a founding member, the UK had some perks (opt out of Schengen and the Euro) that would no longer be on the table for a new arrival. And there’s the matter of breach of trust for already leaving once and causing major headaches.
