Johnny Aztec posted:Wasn't most of the " BREWING YOUR OWN STUFF WILL KILL YOUUUUUU" poo poo partly propaganda, but derived from the moonshiners that would use whatever poo poo they could scrap together, so you'd be introducing alot of poo poo like lead and other unwanted chemicals into the mix? You have to be a real idiot moonshiner to blind or kill yourself; dangerous bootleg liquor was much more commonly the result of adulteration by distributors or deliberate denaturing of alcohol with methanol. It's still distinct from beer brewing, where even a real idiot brewer can't produce something which is both unreasonably dangerous to drink and palatable enough for you to drink dangerous amounts. It's one of the little magics of fruit/grain fermentation that pretty much every failure results in something more undrinkable than dangerous. Since it's still the funny pictures thread, some bootlegging:

Phanatic posted:Methanol isn’t a direct fermentation product, it comes from the breakdown of pectin. So if your sugar source doesn’t contain pectin, methanol isn’t a concern. Historically a lot of shiners used corn, so methanol was produced. If you’re using wheat or rye or, say, molasses, no pectin and no methanol. Interesting! I didn't know that. That still does include grapes and a lot of other fruit (I guess if you're making brandy or something). Personally, I'm still not going to trust Joe Q Rando's moonshine anyway, but maybe that's baseless... Also, while reading up on it, I found https://www.methanolmoonshine.com.au/ which has to be about the dumbest name they could have picked...

Lived with a guy who made a homemade still out of a big copper pot, but he used lead solder for the joints instead of silver (saving a few dollars on silver after spending like $100 on the copper pot and tubing) so I didn't drink any of the shine. It was dyed blue because he filtered it with aquarium activated carbon. He works at Google now. https://twitter.com/boozemunkee/status/1400043004333858817?s=20

Random amateurs learning by doing to make a quick buck is probably a good way to repeatedly make the same dumb mistakes. My great grandpa was quite deaf. We happened by his house once when most of his windows were blown out. We found him as usual in his chair reading a book unaware that his DIY still had blown up his basement.

Back when I worked at a liquor store people would buy it thinking that Johnny Walker Red was quality scotch. We would try to explain to them that Red Label is not quality sipping scotch, and it isn't even overpriced decent scotch like the rest of their products, it's just bad. But it was the cheapest one, so people always bought it. Fools.

"Duck poo poo" is the proper English name for that kind of tea ("Da Shi Xiang" Dancong oolong, lit. Duck poo poo Aroma) because the guy who cultivated it purposely gave it a silly name. It tastes very good, nice and sweet, and it's kind of expensive.https://pathofcha.com/blogs/all-about-tea/the-story-behind-the-honey-sweet-duck-poo poo-aroma-oolong posted:THE STORY OF DUCK poo poo OOLONG Heath has a new favorite as of 06:09 on Jun 4, 2021 |

Ban any and all public displays of anything resembling a traffic light from buildings, billboards, signs, cars, ban trucks from openly transporting traffic signals, mandate that any and all displays visible from roads are visually distinct from anything that a machine learning scanner would confuse for a traffic light? Or maybe just tell Musk to gently caress off and not do public roads tests for a potentially dangerous beta build of his product that's being pushed to consumer vehicles without trained drivers to deal with issues that arise.

I think the door is on the other side, as it appears to be a single seater. It might also be one of those where you basically sit on the engine.

zedprime posted:Intent is considered in communication so if you are hauling stoplights or have designs for your company that are coincidentally stoplights you're probably fine. If you create a Tesla fucker on the side of your box truck for no reason but to gently caress Teslas the laws probably going to be a little less kind. It's possible for an accident to be both your and Musk's fault if you're purposefully antagonizing. I just really wanted a painted van with the rear doors painted with a Wizard fighting a skinny, three eyed Beholder shooting colored beams. Maybe don't publicly beta test a product that some blood emerald robber baron cosplaying Tony Stark bought out so he could finance his escape from this planet so he never has to interact with another person again. These things confuse so many thing with road safety signals that it's bat-poo poo they're even pushing this. You can try to push it as "well you're trying to gently caress with teslas" but they confuse even regular tractor trailer brake lights with signals or just straight up don't see something that's even a similar shade of blue to the sky. None of these features should be pushed for a "beta test" in public as if it were the latest Android build or a video game. But Musk is a capitalist with a cult so he can save money actually doing responsible development by getting dipshit nerds to risk their property and the lives of others.

I guess yeah it must be a cut down 126, so conceivably you might also crawl in through the rear hatch if they couldn't get the door to fit after cutting half the front off.

Older model 126 has the engine lid open only. Later models had a hatchback (with the engine moved under the cargo area) If this is the older model, the only way in is through that chopped down window. The other side seems to also have the back passenger window intact, which does not open. E: yeah, looks like the older model. The newer one has bigger air vents on the side as they don't exist on the engine lid any more. gbut has a new favorite as of 15:01 on Jun 4, 2021 |
