is House of Cards worth checking out? Or is it essentially a spin off of Kevin Spacy's deplorable character from Horrible Bosses? -- nm - Jovian Mar 29, 11:01 6
- I have one episode left to watch...it has been superb. -- nm - Stephen Mar 29, 11:10
- It's very good. -- nm - Flavorize w/ Buffalo Wings Mar 29, 11:07
- No, nowhere near his character on Horrible Bosses. It is a great show IMO -- nm - amoxy Mar 29, 11:02 3
  - are they 1 hour or 1/2 hour episodes? -- nm - Jovian Mar 29, 11:05 2
    - Hour. But it is good acting and good writing. Political Intrigue -- nm - amoxy Mar 29, 11:07 1
      - yea, I think Ill check it out once the majority of shows end for the season -- nm - Jovian Mar 29, 11:15

NOOOO!!! It is too much! Facebook just changed things again! I can't take that on top of the new Gmail Compose! Too much!! - TWuG Mar 29, 10:56 7
- I tried out the new Compose and hated it as well. I switched back to the old version. I know I won't have a choice for much longer, though. -- nm - kelly Mar 29, 11:46 1
  - The Gmail team is allowing form to trump function which is the exact OPPOSITE of how design should work. - TWuG Mar 29, 11:51
- What changed? And didn't the Gmail compose change last year? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 29, 10:58 4
  - My Timeline has changed. And Compose debuted in October and looks be be forced to all very soon. -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 11:04 3
    - The Timeline changes pushes all Timeline posts to the right instead of staggered left and right. Much easier to follow. - TWuG Mar 29, 11:07 2
      - Hmm. Mines still staggered. I rarely go to peoples pages, I've hated the timeline change since it was instituted. - JaxSean Mar 29, 11:10 1
        
        The one thing that's worse is they've narrowed the whole thing so it takes up less horizontal space. There is as much empty space to the left and - TWuG Mar 29, 11:15

Ron Swanson break dancing -- (link) - Beaker Mar 29, 10:21
So I did some quick and dirty math... - znufrii Mar 29, 10:19 41
- that's 2 kegs a day, one keg, a couple growlers and a few six packs, the rent gets paid by the pub half selling burgers and/or pizza -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 29, 11:16 5
  - 25 gallons is 5 batches of homebrew. Not 2 commercial kegs. We never, ever did more than 3 batches in a day and it nearly killed us. - loosilu Mar 29, 11:27 4
    - But, with the proper commercial gear, it doesn't take much more to brew 500g as it does 5g - zeitgeist Mar 29, 11:32 3
      - at that point I would be in the position of things having officially gotten out of hand :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 11:39 1
        
        it wouldn't fit into the 2nd bathroom -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 29, 11:43
      - I know. that's where the $$$ and rent come it. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:32
- plus it's illegal. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 10:42 28
  - because no one's ever gotten the necessary licensing and approvals to start their own commercial craft brewery? -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 10:43 27
    - I stepped away, but just fyi, that costs tens of thousands of dollars and takes years. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:24 2
      - state by state, here its not so bad so we have 2 or 3 brew pubs in every town now, now its craft distilleries -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 29, 11:29 1
        
        Brew pubs are much larger scale than homebrew. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:30
    - Did your quick and dirty math consider whether you'd be allowed to brew beer commercially within your home? - TWuG Mar 29, 10:46 23
      - that's far too much detail for a quick and dirty calculation. - znufrii Mar 29, 10:52 22
        
        You cannot possibly make money brewing beer by hand in your home. Here is why. - loosilu Mar 29, 11:25
        
        Not "at least". If you haven't included rent then your "at least" won't cover your costs. :-) -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 10:54 20

        the whole point of a Q&D is to find out how ridiculous of an idea it is in the first place, without even needing to get to that point. -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 10:56 16
        
        If your assumptions are wrong or incomplete, quick and dirty math tells you nothing about how ridiculous the idea is. -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 11:10 15
        
        if it's ridiculous under the most generous of assumptions, it's not likely to get any less ridiculous if those assumptions are refined with an eye - znufrii Mar 29, 11:19 14
        
        I think the assumption that you need to do it full time (match current income) - TWuG Mar 29, 11:23 13
        
        I already do it as a hobby. - znufrii Mar 29, 11:25 12
        
        You could do it as a business. You probably just can't run it out of your home. - TWuG Mar 29, 11:31 6
        
        yeah, capital investments aren't even in the picture. - znufrii Mar 29, 11:35 4
        
        and if you lose one batch, whoops. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:36 3
        
        which reminds me, you have no AC in your house. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:37 2
        
        well, that too... :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 11:38 1
        
        that's another capital investment you will need. - loosilu Mar 29, 11:39
        
        this. you have to scale up and automate. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:32
        
        when we did the math, we figured out that our homebrew was not much cheaper than retail beer. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:26 4
        
        that's pretty much what it works out to for me currently as well -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 11:29 3
        
        therefore how do you make a profit? -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:30 2
        
        well, I wouldn't likely be buying my ingredients retail if I were doing it at that scale, would I? - znufrii Mar 29, 11:34 1
        
        that's not enough to make it worth while. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 11:34
        
        You guys need to watch Moonshiners. You just need a quiet place in the woods to make alcohol. -- nm - zork Mar 29, 10:55 1
        
        Now that would be a new era in znufrii-mocking -- nm - con_carne Mar 29, 11:07
- wait ... why would you sell beer and not consume it yourself? -- nm - JenBro Mar 29, 10:39 1
  - well, I can always make more for myself. -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 10:40
- And convince enough people to purchase your swill! -- nm - Mop on Macbook Air Mar 29, 10:39 1
  - that would be the "selling" part that I mentioned. -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 10:39
- Quick and dirty meth would be better -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 10:22 1
  - probably -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 10:27

- how the eff is this news and why are you posting this stupid shit? -- nm - CQ Mar 29, 10:19 12
  - FYWJO! you think I give a rats ass about Ika or sports? -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 10:30 3
    - um wait. CYWJO! there. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 10:31 2
      - Go ahead, feed into her wanna be celebrity. Sheep. :) -- nm - CQ Mar 29, 10:35 1
        
        I made it so you didn't have to click! -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 10:38
  - what's even better is, she was worried that it was already mentioned -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 29, 10:21
  - [deleted] 6
    - It's about as meaningless as my posts about my kids :) -- nm - CQ Mar 29, 10:21 5
      - if you ever stop posting about your kids i will stop posting boston.com Love Letters. -- nm - Diva Mar 29, 10:31 3
        
        Heh, deal -- nm - CQ Mar 29, 10:33 1
        
        :) -- nm - Diva Mar 29, 10:34
        
        You fight dirty! -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 10:33
