Fermented Tinal posted:The only sour beers worth drinking come from Belgium. You’re right about lambics but I disagree about country of origin. There are some amazing sour beers coming out of Australia at the moment, and I had a Sour Feijoa beer from 8Wired the other night that was unbelievably good. As a side note, I dislike it when people talk about incredibly subjective topics in such objective terms. If you don’t like the taste of something, no problem. It doesn’t mean it’s bad. Everybody is different and we all like different things. Thank gently caress for that, or we would all drive the same car, eat the same soylent, drink the same garbage.

The best beer I've ever had is a Rhubarb Gose from freigeist, which is from berlin. There's also a ton of solid sours and goses from the US. Fermented Tinal should listen to his own avatar text as, yeah, personal preferences are a thing.

I'm entitled to my opinion, and you're entitled to disagree with it. vOv As for my custom title, I still have no idea who it was that got mad at me for telling Dave he should do what he felt best for himself to do when his ex contacted him before she got married or engaged or whatever. E: The post that earned it, iirc was. "You know what you need to do, so I suggest you do that." or something along those lines.

If you whine about the over-variety of beer available now kindly vacate because things are so much better than they were even a decade ago. You can, with some experimentation, get a beer that suits you almost perfectly. Think beer X is a little too malty? There will be a beer Y that fits you. It's amazing. If you're a genre hopping whore like me it's even better. Beer is tremendous because of the sheer variety of flavors you can make with malt and hops.

I'm working my way through an Alberta beer advent calendar right now. It's pretty rad, every day is a different beer from Alberta. Today's beer was an imperial red from a brewery right here in town, it was pretty good. http://alberta.beer/joyful/ The only real stinker so far was the kolsch on the 9th. Something about it just tasted off.

That sucks.  Good opportunity to get a silicone one now. I kind of wish I had done that in the first place after seeing so many mechanics at work with them. Pretty smart and easily replaced if it gets cut or whatever.But, no, I went with titanium, so I don't think it'll ever get FUBAR'd to need replacement.

Fun fact: If you try to get a titanium ring engraved after purchase, when you get it back they generally will tell you, "It was getting scratched, so we polished it for you!" They have, in fact, thrown out your original ring and given you a new one, it's cheaper and easier.

Nah, that'd be easy. Pull out the hammer, demonstrate what you're going to do by putting something on the beside table and then dramatically miss it several times, and then say, "Close enough, now put your penis on that table." When we treat priapism, just pulling out a big loving needle and syringe and saying, "I'm going to stick this in your dick and take 60cc of blood out of it," often is enough to resolve the issue.

I have this nerd ring for my wedding ring. Talk about sharp edges, though I liked wearing it until i got a piece of glass in my finger and caused nerve damage. The nerve damage would be fine if it actually stayed numb, but feeling is coming back and its annoying. Next will be a silicone ring, maybe it won't bother the scars.

I mean they don't last forever when you're a blue collar worker, but I get 6 or 8 months easily before it gets replaced. Also I have large knuckles and skinny fingers, so I can get a ring that actually fits my finger.

When I was in the military they would show us pictures of the aftermath of rings getting caught on various things. Then a guy in my unit had his ring finger de gloved when he was jumping off the back of a fuel truck and it got caught on the ladder. I haven't worn any jewelry since and it just feels awkward to wear any now. I wear my wedding ring when we go out and stuff like that but it usually sits on my dresser.

Titanium really isn't that hard a material. Common Ti-6Al-4V is probably mid thirties Rockwell C, about the same as a lot of alloy steels, something like Inconel can be mid forties quite happily.

My ring was a perfect metaphor for my marriage. I asked for a smooth ring in white gold with a uniform design so I didn't have to orient it. What did I get? Yellow gold with deep, intricate grooves and 3 diamonds on one side. And it's not like I was shoving my opinion on her, she asked what I wanted and then did the exact opposite. So I spent 10 years spinning it to orient the diamonds on top, and cleaning dirt and grease out of all the grooves. As I grew to hate the woman who gave it to me, I grew to hate that ring. And when we got divorced I threw the loving thing in the ocean.
