CannonFodder posted:Beer nerds will either go on about how Trappist beers are better because the yeast just shows up when the monks leave the wort out for a while to get fermenty, and the complete opposite where they will debate strains of hops. the Trappists pretty much all use single strain yeast. a lot of them share strains too, the one from Westmalle is very common you're thinking of lambic producers

You can't buy beer, only rent it. Until today! I'm proud to introduce beercoin, the only NFT that will commemorate the beer you drink forever.

Assigning the physical scarcity of beer with a digital scarcity is a true growth market and I see a lot of incredible profits on the horizon! Honestly the VC world has been so in love with any form of digital scarcity, the shimmering illusion of infinite wealth in the desert of their total lack of imagination. The blockchain is such a perfect place for them to repeatedly play their same old scam. Too bad digital scarcity is really hard to do in any meaningful way. A distributed ledger only works as far as everyone agrees that it matters, which the VC’s love since they’re really good at convincing people and especially the incredulous tech press that “this matters!!!”

I'm sure there's already some water cooler product that only dispenses water into a proprietary bottle that also requires a subscription. The water is of course magnetically balanced and is kept in a constant spinning state within the cooler. It requires a 20amp outlet and wifi.

I'm basing this on visiting countries where the tap water is not sanitised. There were refrigerator-sized vending machines that would fill a jug for you to take home and the text on them indicated they used ozone+uv to sterilise mains water.

shame on an IGA posted:oh hi I saw that at whole foods last week I've got an idea for an invention. What if, instead of buying bottles of water, we establish an elaborate system of tubes in every municipality, to carry water directly into people's homes. We could even have folks regularly inspect it at the source to make sure it's not going to kill anyone. Think it could work?

There are weirdos into alkaline and hydrogen infused water that buy hideously expensive machines to do it:  They make machines make machines that will dispense cold, hot still and sparkling water, here is one with a touch screen but they make more integrated solutions for high end homes:  This company said they were going to sell basically home Coke Freestyle machines where you could make anything from coffee to your own completely custom soda that they would charge you for each time you made a cup and the price would change depending on the beverage so your friend might come up with something for $.20 a cup or some influencer would sell theirs for $.80 a cup.  Keurig tried the Keurig Kold which was K-Cups for Soda that chilled the water, it flopped and it actually cost more money to make the soda at home than just buying it at the store:  There is the Bartesian, which is KCups for mixed cocktails:  So, yes, this is a market that exists.

Why though? Interest rates were due to be raised in 2020, but then Covid happened and that pushed that back a few years. They should have seen it coming.

The Lone Badger posted:...odd. Pure water should freeze more easily than impure water. Water that is completely free of impurities cannot freeze. Without a particle for the initial ice crystal to form on, the state change just doesn't happen. There are videos out there of pure water supercooled past freezing where it's liquid then someone drops something into it and the whole container turns into an ice block instantly Ofc spraying pure water on a windshield is a great way to introduce a bunch of impurities so yeah it just has to stay above zero C for that to work

There are videos out there of pure water supercooled past freezing where it's liquid then someone drops something into it and the whole container turns into an ice block instantly I had a memorable experience like this in a chemistry lab in university. I was working on a reaction that involved crystalizing something out of solution, and it didnt seem to be working. The instructor suggested I try scratching the glass slightly, and bam, instant beaker full of crystals. I guess the crystallization process doesn't work if the glass is too smooth and clean - a small scratch gave it a little rough spot which was all it took to get it going.
