5lb is plenty imo. ive been on the same 5lb fill for about a year, apparently enough to carbonate a bunch of 2L bottles and about 40 gallons of beer (across several kegs in a keezer). 5lb is also pretty convenient in terms of being easy to store/carry (eg it can fit under the sink)

if you just want to carbonate any liquid then here you go:

- 5lb co2 tank (105ish or less new/filled, then 15ish to refill)
- good regulator (65)
- tubing+ball lock (9)
- 'carbonater' adapter (15) to hook it up to 2L bottles

under $200 for a complete system, or way less if you go used for the co2 tank which is the majority of the cost

someone asked r/stocks why tesla is worth $280/share despite never making money and all the responses were Elon Musk cargo culting about how he's a genius and we'll all be driving them in 10 years and it's the future so you should buy now

I thought you guys were all rich? hmm?

(a 5lb bottle of CO2 is about 6" in diameter and 16" tall)

if you can't spend 30 minutes in a store without getting your beer fix you're probably an alcoholic and shopping for more alcohol that you'll drunk drive home where you'll spend the night drinking alone
that's not my question, my question is what kind of alcoholic buys lone star at whole foods, how do they fit in their marketing plans, and how can we put the blame on the tech industry where it rightfully belogs

whole foods' line would be that it's wrong for the state to restrict alcohol sales in any way, because it's run by a randroid

i mean don't get me wrong they're not the most evil company that capitalism has ever produced

but they sell literal snake oil in a significant portion of the store and they most definitely are a union busting company

yea tho their orientation deffo says that THEY WILL NEVER DRUGTEST

what was amazing was when i had my first friday payday afternoon off in nola as a middlingly affluent young professional and i walked into the whole foods uptown and was absolutely taken aback at how many well put together women had been in there for at least half an hour buying overpriced produce before hitting the cheese section where i had made a beeline for in order to impress the elfin pixie cut theater major i was hookin up with and how differently these office women dressed to my tiny hipster lady

it was eye opening let me tell you

The first video, posted shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday evening, depicts company security meeting with Schaefer in an office setting. The security officer then takes possession of Schaefer's company laptop and other devices.
"I just got fired," said Schaefer. "Or suspended."
In the second video, Schaefer, now in his car and pulling out of the company parking lot, laments that he is out of a job and "homeless"
“Companies don’t really value entrepreneurship or the ability to create something," Schaefer said. "They want you to be there and work there, right, but they don’t let you do your own thing, even though you might have your own ambitions and dreams. I guess the only way is to do it is to not work somewhere.”

real estate is a weird business. i swear it's second only to hip hop when it comes to conspicuous consumption.

like you can be a workaday realtor, nothing near the level of john galt's properties, but you still have to put on aspirational airs. cant show up in a sensible car, people will think you're not doing well and therefore can't pump money out of them (i really don't understand this aspect of it). you would think being practical and in touch with working people would be desirable but for some reason people want to see some nouveau riche bullshit.

i can't even imagine what its like when youre selling 1m+ properties to foreign investors, although being a smug prick with a fatal case of dunning-krueger probably helps

if you have a balcony you can just put astroturf on your own balcony area, along with few potted plants and chairs so you can chill outside on a good day

i can't deal with gk's voice. something about the smacking, the pauses, and the way he enunciates just generates incredible hatred in me.


As best I can tell what happened is the following:

there was an anti-harassment panel planned.

gamergate people went nuts and demanded their own panel

sxsw gave in and let them have a panel

the anti-harassment panel was subjected to so much harassment and threats that sxsw canceled the panel citing safety and worrying that it would spill over into the rest of the concert and get in the way of their brand engagement opportunities

someone had the ability to rub two brain cells together and went ahead and canceled the GG panel too because you loving know who was behind the threats in the first place and it would look awful to let them have a panel after they bullied the others off.

GG idiots are probably going bonkers over this but I don't give enough of a poo poo to check.

SXSW makes you upvote and downvote panels and so the online harassment comments thread was entirely death threats and rape threats and doxxing, SXSW refused to remove any of it because "it's a discussion between two legitimate viewpoints free speech" as you see a panel where everyone agreed would be "boring"

quote:

Media organisation BuzzFeed has said it will pull out of the festival entirely unless both the panels are reinstated. In a letter sent to Forrest by Ze Frank, the president of Buzzfeed Motion Pictures, the organisation said that: “BuzzFeed has participated deeply in SXSW for years, and our staffers are scheduled to speak on or moderate a half-dozen panels at SXSW 2016.

“We will feel compelled to withdraw them if the conference can’t find a way to do what those other targets of harassment do every day — to carry on important conversations in the face of harassment. We hope you can support the principle of free speech and engage a vital issue facing us and other constituents on the event.”

The SXSW festival will go head on 11-20 March in Austin, Texas, without the panels.

which is why they are going to start panicking if tech media companies yank participation over it - that free press is the reason 90% of the dumbass startups come to sxsw.

Vox media is withdrawing as well now
