Larry Kudlow’s wife convinced him that beer is made out of poor people because it was the only way to get him to stop weeping during the Obama administration

Yeah, not a beer expert, but I wondered where *that* came from…
This stuff is completely imaginary. Biden has not proposed any limit on Americans’ meat consumption.
What happened: 1) The Daily Mail ran an article that dishonestly connected Biden’s climate plan with a not-at-all-about-Biden study. 2) Others on the right just ran with this. pic.twitter.com/VRB52TPmUj

Nah, man. Kudlow’s a deep thinker, he’s on to something. No idea what it could be though. But maybe I found a clue.
Your Beer Attracts Fruit Flies on Purpose
‘ … ‘wild fermentation’ that lets microbes spontaneously colonize the batch to achieve a more local flavor, and Verstrepen’s research helps explain how that happens. “You could catch a few flies in your vineyard, put it in your grape juice, and make a very unique wine,” said Verstrepen. ‘

@Jay: Biden tyranny will stop us regular guys from letting fruit flies fall into out beer at the vegan BBQs? I dunno. I’m still trying to figure it out.
BeautifulPlumage
@jl: NOOOOOOOOO!
STOP THAT!
Variations in beer flavors are from the yeast, and in the case of certain styles (lambics are one) specific bacteria. Plus, beer is not wine. Yes, both are fermented, but beer fermentation these days are highly controlled. Even the classic “open fermentation” kind.
BeautifulPlumage
@BeautifulPlumage: missed the edit window, but the variations in beer flavors, of course, are affected by the types of barley and other grains, the hops, and other plant-based additions.

Since open thread and I missed out on a couple of great discussions:
The Cold Equations, that inspired Stowaway, was haunting until I learned how that space missions always budget extra for fuel, air recycling and other consumables in case of off-nominal conditions not involving stowaways. Maybe space flights in the future will be zero-margin if the Musks, Bransons and Bezoi get their way.
scott (the other one)’s comment about the 1% of the 1% saving time got a hilarious treatment in the 1960s Dutch or Belgian novel “Where Were You Last Pluterday?” whose main character learns the very rich save so much more time than hoi polloi they get an extra day between Saturday and Sunday.
Reading way too much science fiction and fantasy back in the day prepared me well for these times.

@Jay: An Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scot walk into a pub, and each order a pint. The barkeep sets their drinks before them, and ach, a fly lands in each of them. The Englishman grimaces, pushes the pint away and orders another. The Irishman sighs, plucks the fly from his ale, flicks it away, and starts drinking his pint. The Scot picks the fly from his order, and shakes it over his glass, barking “Spit it out, y’ wee bugger, spit it out!”

Does seem to be a strange virus upon the land, that isn’t medical/scientific/physical health related, only mental, that bores into people’s heads and makes them exceedingly, fucking, stupid, in ways that should get them committed, except they long ago defunded a lot of the mental health concepts of assistance so that the disease of racism and blatant stupidity could run wild. Many have taken the vaccine, many have refused, thus proving that they are infected with the disease.

in the deer fly family up here, we have deer flies, a bit over 1/4 in length, that rip a chunk of flesh off your bones, with which to get enough protein, to make eggs and carry on the species, they are mostly black,
Horseflies, which are roughly a half inch, black and tan, tiger striped, same M/O, bigger bite,
Elk Flies at 3/4 of an inch, same M/O,
Moose flies, at an inch or over, same M/O
No see ums, at 6 can dance on a pin head, same M/O,
Blackflies, which are at least visible, same M/O,
Then 19 domestic and 4 imported species of mosquitoes.

@Jay: Good lord, before there was Foxconn, surely the shit standard for bad deals for the public was Tumbler Ridge. Too much wrong with it to go into right now, but I do wonder: those trying to salvage the town have said that it attracts residents looking for lower rents; where are these people coming from?! The place is very easy to find on a road atlas map without using the indexes, which tells you how easily it stands out (Pop. est. 1, 987 in 2016).
