This Really Annoys Me Pet Peeve Thread

[Schlenkerla]

Attenuation describes how much of the wort has fermented. The difference between the 2 numbers on a wort of a known OG and FG is not the same as the difference between the two numbers.

With these published numbers, one would question the lab's ability to create a reliable test case, repeatability and the observed measurements.

I already know that.

Assume FG0 is the baseline fermented wort. FG1 is the 2nd comparative wort sample.

%Dif; (FG0 - FG1)/FG0

This is percent difference.

From what I understand a lab analysis of attenuation is different than a forced ferment. A forced ferment is a more controlled fermentation process for comparative analysis to your current fermentation process and your ability to control all the variables.

My God, you two, stop it!

Do you realize the irony of never ending off-topic bickering in a thread about things that are annoying?

It should be legal to run those people off the road and beat them to within an inch of their lives.

Micromanaging bosses

Lima beans - something about those little effers... They're up to something...

Yeah, can't that dude wear a bigger cross. I think it would help him sell them pillows. Should have had some ****** with big honkers pushing them pillows

BTW it just works.

I'd like to call their service department to tell them the stuff inside must be broken cause it's not working for me. Defective patented fill....

This is their spokesman in Greece. LOL

When the password on my TWC/Netflix/HBO Go account is cached for so long I get used to not having to key it in, then one day it forces me to, I have to recall it (and I don't) - so hey, simple enough - just reset it, right?

Then I have to go to every tablet, laptop, game console and Roku in the house and reset it there too. Then the cycle begins anew.

Funny.... I'm a left-lane driver for the primary reason that there's so many slow drivers hanging out in the right lane. If some butthole gets behind me though I always get over right away. And anyway, hell, no one really needs to go more than 9 over. I hope and pray that those who pass me will get a ticket because they deserve it. In 25 years and about half a million miles I've never gotten a ticket or into an accident for going 9 over. But maybe I should quit driving so slow in the left lane and try going 10 or 11 over instead. If other guys can do it then why shouldn't I, right. But assuming my prayers are answered as often as they are, they probably all get tickets.

You realize that you should get back over into the right lane whenever you're not actively passing, right?

The problem with left-lane drivers like you is that typically when someone DOES come up behind you on the road, the typical left-lane driver doesn't notice them until they've been on their rear end for 1/4 mile or more. And if they were using cruise control they've had to cancel the cruise control, etc.

When I'm on a 2-lane freeway I'll do my best to be in the right lane when I'm not actively passing. And if there's a faster car coming up on my left I'll wait until they go by to make my next pass rather than hold them up.

against the law to hold up traffic in the left lane, here in the Commonwealth

also if you signal, by lights or horn for someone to move out of the left lane, law says they have to, when it's safe to do so.

I wish we had that. Too many Minnesota passive-aggressives camping in the left lane to "teach us all to not drive too fast."

On the Autobahn that's a ticket if you don't merge right into the nearest available slot. Driving fast on the Autobahn is a German birthright.

God damn it, thats why you keep fooking passing me. The prolem Is I can't find my bottle opener and I fergit the speed limit.... and take my foot off the gas....only to remember i have gas.

BTFW - I'm drinking a good citric coconut gose.


I don't remember if I'm drunk or feeling stoopid. Maybe I should eat them chicken-bean tacos? **** I can eat breakfast tacos. Where's my beer???

These flashlight guys. Jeez. They are nuts. I want work to buy us new flashlights, so I'm looking up some. Wow.

These fetish guys got a flashlight for everything. Car flashlight. House flashlight. Carry flashlight. They got one for hunting, one for fishing, one for camping. They got one for walking around the neighborhood. A different one for walking around a different neighborhood. A backup flashlight. A day time flashlight. (Yes!) A bug out flashlight. A stash away flashlight. An up their ass flashlight. A flashlight for if they have to check someone's pupils, because that's what they're going to be doing. Seriously. That's what kind of stuff they say. "You need a flashlight that has low light settings. Optometrists, EMTs and doctors use these to check pupils without blinding their patients. We're going to need that when we're doing triage to determine if a person is as badly hurt as they say or if they're on some substance." That's what some clown on YouTube was saying. Then he was going on about retinal hemorrhaging and what all he can tell by using his first aid flashlight (of course) when... Mofo! You ain't none of that.

And these tacitcool guys. Man, if you think a flashlight is going to blind, stun, disable or otherwise thwart off a stone cold crip high on crack when he comes to roll your ass, you should just throw your money, and that stupid flashlight, on the ground. Maybe that will distract him while you run away. What are they thinking? Criminals never saw a flashlight? They gonna think you a wizard because you can shine light? Oh, it "disrupts the neurological signals and confuses the sensory perception of the"... STFU!

And quit it with this holding a flashlight under your gun in this cross wrist position. What are you doing? Everybody do it now. Make like you're holding a gun in one hand. Or really hold a gun. Whatever. Does it already have a flashlight on it? If not, these mall ninjas have a few suggestions for that. Now, put your other hand like you're holding a flashlight backwards under your gun hand so one wrist is resting on the other. Just go watch a cop show. You'll see it. What's that doing? It's sure as **** is not confusing anyone on where to shoot. Aim for the light! Chances are, this capris commando is holding it right in front of his big fat head. Yeah. Way to illuminate the target there, chief.

And no, your flashlight is not a kubotan or striking weapon. And no, I am not going to let you hit me in the head with a D cell Mag Light so you can prove it is. I'm gonna do my best not to let you hit me with anything. If you ain't a black belt now, that flashlight ain't gonna make you one. While you're fumbling around with that $100 flashlight, I'm gonna be running down the street laughing at you while you're standing there adjusting your beam setting.

Look. It's a flashlight. It's for seeing in the dark. The Pelican 1920 looks like something I can get work to pay for. Winner!

A few years ago I discovered head lights (no, not car headlights or the ones in women's shirts. Oh wait, those are "high beams") As an electrician they were a great asset. I didn't have to try and hold it in the crook (?) of my neck or look like I was auditioning for a porno. When my first one eventually died (high power, low power, off) I tried to find another. Okay, now we have red lights (high, low, red, off). Kind of a PITA because I had to go through all the settings before it would turn off. When I went on line, holy schist! Trying to find a simple (high, low, off) flashlight was like trying to find the holy grail. Red lights, flashing lights (hey look I'm a disco ball), green lights (for following a blood trail?). Fourteen modes! 1000 lumens! iPhone apps! Turn your flashlight on, even when you're not home! See what your flashlight is doing while you're away! One stupid flashlight trick, your doctors don't want you to know about! Jeez what's the problem?
Okay, I'm done for now....

Whenever you see "An open letter to" just substitute "A self-indulgent rant about." Makes the thing make much more sense.
