    Show us your SWMBO...

    Not exactly a SWMBO yet because it hasn't been too long, so I still get my way much of the time, but here's the gf Bit of a club rat if you couldn't tell, and me being a homebody, I never have problems setting aside time to bottle.

    *sigh* Divorce advice please?

    I have a close friend that recently was charged with a pretty serious crime, the kind that can get you multiple years in prison. He didn't have much of a case, so he took a plea deal. His sentencing hearing is actually next month and he will be going to jail. The recommended sentence is 3-5...

    5 Minutes of Heaven

    +1 on Unknown. Liam Neeson badassness plus January Jones hotness is a recipe for success.

    First Date

    In all honesty though, here's the best thing you can do. Have her next first date be a double date with you and your wife. You'll both get a firsthand look at how she interacts with a new guy and that should help you give her some relevant advice.

    First Date

    I can't believe everyone is giving this guy advice without asking for the most important piece of info. We definitely need to know what all three people involved look like. Obviously pictures are a must. If this guy is a 5 or 6 and his wife is an 8 or 9, I say don't do it even if the roommate...

    I got a bike today.

    Most states also give you your motorcycle liscense when you present the certificate for the MSF at the DMV. It's way easier than taking the riding test at the DMV itself.

    Story about turning brewers yeast into multicellular organisms

    Good story, but the results are highly debated. It is not completely known whether yeast were once multicellular and their genome may have retained many of those genes in unexpressed loci. So it may just be that this sample, instead of evolving to have an entirely new...

    What's your craving of the day?

    Smoking ribs and a brisket right now for the brother's birthday dinner tonight.

    How to handle a previously mistreated dog

    I have a German Shepherd that I adopted 2 years ago. He was extremely timid at first but given the proper care, routine, and discipline(calm but assertive) he adjusted quickly and is honestly the best dog I've owned. The previous posts are giving a lot of good advice, but if I could add...

    Showed up a day late

    One less day spent in Sacramento isn't necessarily a bad thing either.

    Newcastle Winter IPA

    I had it a couple weeks ago and wasn't really impressed. I thought the werewolf was better to be honest. The IPA didn't have much bitterness and really none of the citrusy aroma I've come to expect from American IPAs. Obviously it's a brittish IPA, so maybe it's true to style but just not to...

    Idiots at Rogue...

    Why not just order the kit your wife actually wants, then brew two batches. Or if you really want that $40 bucks back, then order the new kit and arrange to return the old kit upon its arrival. The good thing is if you order the kit you really want in the next hour or so, you can be confident...

    The [Horribly Unpopular] Soccer Thread

    Does anybody know why the MLS conference semifinals were a 2 game series with aggregate score winning, but the conference finals were just one game? It doesn't make much sense to me, especially since the MLS cup is two more weekends away. I'm a Galaxy fan, so I'm glad they're in the final...

    Vegas Beer destinations?

    A lot of people are recommending Hofbrauhaus, and I won't deter you from going there, but just realize that they only serve their own beer. So it's really only around 4 selections. Plus the prices are really high. The best bargain is to buy the beer by the liter, but it's still around 16...

    chemists: please help!

    Nice. Feel free to shoot any O-chem questions my way in a PM. I got As in Ochem I and II as well as Biochem, and it was only a few semesters ago so most of it's still fresh.

    chemists: please help!

    A 4C ring with an OH on one C and a methyl(CH3) group on a different C. If the constituents are on adjacent corners then it's one isomer. Move the constituents to opposite corners and it's another isomer.

    chemists: please help!

    You can only have one degree of unsaturation, so since you'll be using a ring in each isomer, then you can't use any double bonds. Think cyclic alcohols, and cyclic ethers. Cyclopentanol for example. Then a four C ring attached to -CH2-OH Then 4C ring-O-CH3. And two more would be an alcohol...

    Vegas Beer destinations?

    If you don't mind taking a 10 minute cab ride then go to The Yardhouse. More than 100 beers on tap. It's about 4 miles south of Mandalay Bay on Las Vegas Blvd., inside a shopping center called Townsquare.

    Big Ol' Pumpkin Head

    How did you split up the priming sugar? Did you weigh it, or go by volume? Maybe one of the half batches got a little more?

    About ready to quit brewing, help...

    You said the overcarbed beer has no flavor, but have you noticed any off flavors? Any flavors or scents that you would describe as sour or funky?
