literally every day. I don't want to sequester myself in my room to play on my PC, and I don't want to monopolize the living room TV and have a big desktop tower looking ugly in the entertainment center, so the deck essentially gave me PC gaming back. I debated whether to buy it for months and months, and I shouldn't have. My goal was nothing more than to be able to play PC games and to unlock emulation on a small screen with real controllers. I just finished playthroughs of metal gear solid 2 and fallout new vegas, and I'm starting red dead redemption 2 today (if the damn download ever finishes). The only thing I'd caution a new purchaser about is springing for the big hard drive and/or being willing to install an aftermarket one. SD cards seems like a reasonable sol'n but reports are coming in that the deck is hard on them because it does a lot of writing to the card, and that an SSD is a worthwhile investment.

Ive been using something called Insomnia lately. It's a bit less fully-featured when it comes to things like env vars, but I love that I can copy any call from my browser's network tab as a curl command and just paste it right into insomnia

I wish I knew how dope it was so I could've bought it six months before I did

if you buy it and play games on it, regardless of what happens external to you, you didn't waste your money. I hesitated for like 3 months to buy mine and I was simply wrong. I'm having a blast with it and I wish I had gotten it sooner.

the finings will clarify for you (lol)

in all seriousness, you can't count on 12% to be where yeast dies due to alcohol. Some yeast tolerates up to 20%, and even strains that are marked to 12% could overperform a bit. What that means is, if you follow these directions, you very well could wake your yeast back up and end up building pressure in the bottles. This could cause them to explode and fling mead everywhere (hence, painting your ceiling). The only ways you can count on to be able to backsweeten without risk of reactivating the yeast culture are chemical (potassium metabisulfate and potassium sorbate) or pasteurizing before backsweetening. Since you said you don't want to go the chemical route, pasteurization is the best way to go.

I would absolutely not do this, it's a fast way to paint your ceiling.

alcoholo tolerance varies greatly species to species and if you're brewing so strong that yeast dies of alcohol exposure you're going to introduce tons of off flavors.

pasteurization then sweetening is your answer here if you don't want to use the standard potassium sorbate and potassium metabisulfate. Sometimes when I want to bottle carb something and then backsweeten it I'll just bottle carb it as per usual and serve it with simple syrup as well (if you fancy this is a lovely time to add fresh herbs too)

ooooh that could be useful. I was having a bit of trouble with that. I'll have to figure out a way to put together minecolonies, controllable and buildcraft/thermex. Ty!

The only thing I can think of for how they got to 77 is that the survey differentiates between meat, chicken and fish and the person making the graphic may have combined them into a single category. That would make more sense when trying to draw conclusions about dietary habits.
