I am looking for some trips in Asia. But the plain tickets are pricy so it will have to wait until I have a good plan and probably some friend to do it with me.

For now I stick to countries where I don’t have to deal with stuff like visa… So EU and European economic area.

So I am interested in your trip as well.

You know how it’s said “Visit Russia before Russia visits you”. That is my main concern in that area.

But the problem in Spain at that time is the weather, it is just too damn hot for me to go there in summer.

So even though I haven’t seen full solar eclipse yet I am more inclined to go north.

I didn’t thought about going there even before current events…

Unfortunately it is net positive if you count in pensions.

I read economic research few years ago and the few years less for pension is more than enough to offset the healthcare.

It just lists the elements in a form of chemical formula with their estimated quantity in universe.

Macinka is an idiot.

That being said he plays important role to form the government and at least part of ANO voters expects some reaction that Babiš probably can’t deliver because of that.

It is just lose lose situation right now, do nothing against it - people will protest (and it will have bad outcome), try to confront him and he doesn’t form a government (and will go to prison).

I didn’t expect that the shitshow, everyone saw from far away after the elections, will get that bad that fast.

That’s quite nice in CZ. The laws are quite a bit more preferential for smaller breweries - same requirements but lower tax. In the end it’s not that hard to make brew pub or smaller brewery.

For sending beer (not taxed and for free), I don’t have good option. It is possible but has to be correctly marked on the package, in the EU I just don’t know.

It depends in what region. I know that in CZ they definitely get it through official government site that tracks closures, roadworks, traffic from monitoring cars and counting gates…

Yes it is quite common problem. It can be mitigated a bit by lowering the temperature.

It is fun and games until temperature controller on 2 m³ tank brakes and you have to clean foam everywhere.

To be clear they already lost a lot of support. They behave like bunch of kids and people would rather vote for Babiš than them.

Also the coalition ANO, SPD, Motoristé is supper fragile right now. They argue about their childish behaviour and everyone is bit pissed, I don’t give them much time.

Avatar is just playground for CGI without any deep or remembare story!

When I say that I just don’t exactly like this type of movie and I just don’t care about it more I got a bit laughed at.

I don’t remember that much, I think it is something about temperature - the -80°C freezers just freeze the culture much faster so you don’t kill the cells. You can mitigate it by using glycerol as antifreeze but it is bit more work.

With agar you store only the pure 1st gen of the yeasts so there is bit more work after you unfreeze them. So there is probably different method to freezing yeast cake.

When I messed with the yeast I used this playlist as instructions:

There is something about the storing of the yeasts (I think they can last years frozen).

How do you plan to freeze the yeast?

As I tried something like it few years ago I got that consumer freezers are a bit too leathal for yeast. I stored mine in tubes on agar in fridge and it was good after 4 months, but to get to that point was ~3 weeks of work.

With sugar free alternatives is bit of an problem with taste - steviol is bitter for example. It usually needs to have some combination of 2 or more artificial sweeteners and they can affect the taste. So you will probably need more experimentation with the recipe.

I can get most of the essential oils from local supplier that sells it even to normal people and you don’t need a business. I think they can ship EU wide and the smallest quantity is 30ml. https://fichema.cz/

I would do it if the ingredients would be cheaper.

It isn’t expensive per bottle (he mixes 100ml of flavouring that is good for 5000l) but the available quantities are just too big of an purchase and I don’t know how else I could use it for.

I think I tried something with the essential oils and food and because I needed only few drops the rest of the bottle still sits unused somewhere.

Good luck with brewing! It doesn’t take much to brew good beer but getting the consistency in the batches (if you want to brew same beer multiple times).

Looks a bit like the transporter from Dune

Every part of the plant except the “berry” (it isn’t berry) is toxic.

I want to try eating it but I heard that it isn’t that good.

I think that at this point they are more of a zombie company than anything else.

Nothing inovative or revolutionary and overpriced for normal people. Even professional teams don’t use their components. Only some posh people stuck with them just for the brand name and their business isn’t set up for it.

I would guess that it may already started to deflate a bit. The truth is that it will pop when the loans won’t be paid off so investors and banks starts to backtrack.

I am not worried about Nvidia but cloud providers. The datacenters built to support ai won’t have much use when the customers (OpenAI…) will fold.

I don’t care about what happens with OpenAI and other AI startups they probably don’t survive. Google, Microsoft, Meta… have enough money to lose so it will be bad for them but they will survive it. Hardware manufacturers see the writing on the wall and try to milk the bubble till it lasts so if they play it decently it won’t be big issue for them - they are probably the winners in this race whatever happens.
