Wow thanks for that tip! I wasn't aware of :term before but that's great. I have always used :!sh or ^z.


I never thought of it that way but IPA's always taste off to me.

That sounds contradictory to what I've heard about IPAs: that they were created because the normal beers the British had at the time wouldn't survive the journey to India, so they added a lot more hops and called it India Pale Ale. Based on that, I'd expect them to age better, not worse, than other kinds, but I'm not a beer person and this is just secondhand knowledge that I've never bothered to verify.


The amount of hops in the beers from that story were about as bitter as a common blonde ale.

The modern IPA is nothing like that anymore. Also its the aroma compounds of hops that breaks down so fast, not the bittering aspects.This is why you can store a Russian imperial stout (high hop bitterness, low hop aroma, very high abv) but not normally a double/triple IPA (high hop bitterness, high hop aroma, high abv) and defiantly not age a normal IPA or session IPA (high hop aroma, low abv).

*Some overly malty double and triple IPAs will age into a nice barley wine if given enough time.


The hops are somewhat antibacterial, so they can help against contamination, but the hop flavors break down over time, and light and oxidation are what "skunk" a beer.


Technical debt has to be paid one way or the other.


I was just on a solo visit to London for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised that there is a Fawlty Towers play [1] and a dinner show! [2]

I, sadly, did not partake in either option. I shall return.

I guess Apple does not think that 2024 will be the Year of the Linux Desktop.


I don't think Apple minds.


The number of expect scripts I find in production that are used to automate ssh password authentication is ridiculous.


I've been using them for a little over a year for a daily medication. The price is less than half what the local pharmacies are charging - and that's without insurance.


If you want to get licensed I found HamStudy's[1] learning method the most efficient use of my time and was able to breeze through Technician and General class. Their "Find a Session"[2] page makes it easy and inexpensive to take the test(s) remotely too.
