  • I you make your own, there is no risk for blindness. Blindness comes from methanol, not ethanol. If you use a yeast based process to produce the alcohol and then distill it, there is no way to accidentally produce methanol in that process. The cases where people get blind or die from moonshine stems from when the feds replaced moonshine with methanol to be able to make that claim and disrupt the business of organized crime during the prohibition. There are still cases now and then where people try to make drinkable alcohol from some industrial base and don’t know how to.

    TLDR: Don’t buy, make.




  • This is a sure sign that the NSA have been reading everything encrypted with standard cryptos for quite some time but they see that the opposition (China in this case) is showing signs of catching up. Can’t have that, even if it means losing capability for themselves. They have other ways in so the drop in capability is not as big as one would think.

    I personally wouldn’t trust anything but one time cryptos to be safe and I don’t trust any algorithm from that source to be safe. It certainly should be and it is very much in their and our interest to make sure that it is, but the possibility that they are trying to eat the cake and pull a fast one is frighteningly far from zero. It would be monumentally stupid to try because shit like that always gets out and that would jeopardize every system in the world. Stupid isn’t exactly in short supply these days.







  • His whole look is very not butch. That beard is very well groomed and his hair is immaculate. His skin also looks very cared for. I do believe his dear papa may have been a lumberjack.

    Nothing wrong with that of course, but I think he would be a lot happier if he just embraced it, poor thing.


  • Yeah, there’s no umlaut in Bifrost. Umlauts may look very 70s - 80s heavy metal cool and it arguably worked for Motörhead, but not for anyone else, sorry. No, Mötley Crüe is not a valid counterexample.

    Btw, “ö” is pronounced like the “i” in “girl”. Now pronounce the words above out loud and you’ll realize how you look to half of Europe. (Much less actually, but why let facts ruin a perfectly good argument.) Ø is pretty much the same letter and is pronounced similarly, except maybe in Danish, but Danish sounds eerily similar to goats choking on their second helping of shrooms, so there’s just no way to know which sound is meant to be “Ø”. Or any other letter, but I digress.

    Bifrost is actually pronounced like “Bifröst” in several Swedish dialects, but that too is severely uncool so my point still stands. If I were to make a comparison, those dialects are about as sexy as, say, a Yorkshire, a Cockney or any US dialect. You don’t want to sound like that, now do you? Of course not.

    It is the only time when I can really pump up the jam and go nuts. You can’t do it at home because your neighbors will murder you if you are loud enough. It is also unfair to lay all the dB’s on the same people all the time. That said, I only use the kind of volume that makes it hard to see straight during the morning commute. It is annoying for the closest 400 cars, but not as annoying as if I fall asleep and plow right into you. Yes, I have already OD’d on coffee to the point of seeing god in the rear view mirror by that time, but I am still fully capable of falling spontaneously asleep, thank you very much. So think before you get too annoyed in the future. That obnoxiously loud asshole may just have saved your life by playing bagpipe music at a volume that makes the clouds shift above her car. You’re welcome.

    Edit: ohhh, that wasn’t very popular at all, was it? Some folks even took it seriously. To be fair, I actually started sort of seriously, but the post got away from me. Hate when that happens. I like loud music and the only time you can ramp it up a bit is in the car. That much is serious. The rest was an attempt at humour, but I see I failed. Again.

    I actually play loud music to sing along with as voice training as I spend maybe 2h in the car every day on average. Whitney’s got nothing on me, lemme tell you. She is dead after all.
