    Welcome to TEST! I couldn't tell you what the Discord process is nowadays, it's been too long for me to remember. I'd say message an officer would be a likely place to start.

    There are always solutions to the alcohol problem. Don't let a oil company brewer ruin your day, make your own. You can also let your son make some root beer at the same time, so he can be "just like dad". You can play a game of catch, then sit around with him having a brew, telling stories...

    Very sad information in that article. It means that brewers have forgotten the age old way of carbonating beer, and turned it into a petroleum product at the same time.

    Roadmap: where did the Cutty Blue go?

    Hey, I kind of like that solution. And my wife accidentally found a solution for you a couple weeks ago. It turns out HEB has a non-alcoholic Heineken beer in stores. Total alcohol is 0%. I mean technically that makes whatever is in the bottle flavored fizzy water, but at least it looks...

    Oh gawd... Please no. I met a Canada Goose once while doing some work on a pond. It approached me honking away like an NDP candidate, then tried to embrace me while simultaneously trying to drill my head off... which was also just like an NDP candidate. I would like to report that I won that...

    Warm welcome to newest TEST member

    So, I read the article... noticed the guy was wearing his parachute so would have suffered only minor injuries and some discomfort and maybe a lot of fear... Then I read 3 replies... still just a little amused... Then ... PIG SNORT.

    It's funny, we have a similar background. I was taking chemistry with a strong interest in biochem which was a emerging industry, but an accident involving misplaced hydrochloric acid changed my career path. After I got out of the hospital, I was going to lose the entire year because I had to...

    Salish Sea is what I was looking for. My father had a bit of a business for a time after he retired, taking groups on 3 day hiking, biking or boating tours in the area. By boating I mean even kayaks. It depended on the skill of the group, but it was one of the best ways to see the whales...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I think betacoronavirus strains have our attention now. The MERS and SARS variants though they were more likely fatal seemed to have transmission issues, there have probably been other betacoronavirus variants in the mix over the years that just managed to infect a few people before dying off...

    You get to retire some day. My family mostly lives in the vicinity of Cowichan Bay, I forgot the new name of the straight that separates the island from the mainland, it changed recently to a more appropriate name. Salt Spring Island is a little to the north. I once took a rowboat out...

    Raspberry Pi 4B expansion board question?

    Looking at this picture, I'm wondering where the grow pods are. This is a good substrate if it can be preserved, and not allowed to crush the growing seedlings. The same thing happens with other systems. They look like this...

    I was a military brat, so we moved too often for me to feel like I'm home. In my mind, my home is still the Ottawa Valley, that's where I raised my kids. But my family lives in Nova Scotia and B.C. In B.C., the epicenter is a little to the left of Vancouver. Most beautiful place on the...

    Markets looking like recovery?

    "Preserve freedom, it's perishable". That just popped into my head when I read your post. It's from a bumper sticker dating from the 80's and 90's.

    You are correct, the virus is a new mutation of a virus family that has been around for a while. It's related to the betacoronavirus strains that caused both the MERS and SARS outbreaks in humans previously.
