I'm looking to hire someone to do some slightly technical illustrations for How Comics Were Made. There are a few pieces of equipment and processes that have no great photographic or illustrative elements out there, but I can provide reference images and rough drawings. If you’re interested, send me links to your work? I’m not looking for blueprint-style perfection, but something that conveys the meaning and is accurate.

@nixCraft 16 KB but then it was upgraded to 64 KB by using the 1064 upgrade module. 😮 (from 600XL to 800XL) 😁

It's that time of the year 😋 Time for fresh hop beers.

Sprig & Fern's Monohoppily Fresh Hop Hazy singles out just one variety – fresh , hand-selected from Holmdale Farm in Wakefield and Mac Hops in Motueka.

😋 Lots of citrus, hoppy, bread/doughy and some bitterness + sweetness. Almost like marmalade on toast.

And linked to this album by the song 'Be My Baby' 😁 which Bonnet did better btw.

Not a big Bonnet fan - not the best Rainbow singer - but this is great. Amazing list of artists: Cozy Powell, Jon Lord, Mel Collins, Neil Murray, Micky Moody and more 🤘

A tasty surprise from 1UP: lots of dark/bitter chocolate, earthy coffee and a subtle sweetness. Def looks different than it tastes. 😁😋

It's easy to find the perfect music to pair with this 😁

🎶 "Well, life is too short, so love the one you got. 'Cause you might get run over, or you might get shot" 🎶 - Sublime

Lots of coffee. Short black style. Nice earthy flavours. Not a thick stout but super tasty.

Going to the bathroom @ Craftwork Brewery (Oamaru, New Zealand) is always exciting 😁 as the walk through the barrel room gives you a sneak peek of the amazing brews that are waiting to be bottled. 🤗🍻

Wondering if I should switch from Mozilla's VPN to Proton's VPN.

Mozilla works flawlessly on Android and Linux desktop, but was a bit of a pain to configure on the CLI.

Anyone have strong feelings about and their ?

(Not interested in any other providers, thanks. Yes, I understand the limits of what a VPN can do. No, I don't need to to work on Mac, Windows, or iOS. Yes, your joke reply is very funny. No, I don't want to run my own.)

@Edent why switch if it works flawlessly? 🤔 Happy with @protonmail VPN btw 👍 Does what it says on the label.

I decided to tell a brief little story of how I got my passion for tech. I'd also appreciate if each of you could read it and share it with others!

I got the idea from my good friend @jcrabapple who wrote something similar not long ago.

@cliffwade interesting post. 👍 The good old days of consoles like Atari 2600, Intellivision, Videopac etc. That got a lot of us hooked on tech.

From tripel to BA tripel is a tasty journey. Sacre Bleu is a masterpiece.

Luckily I was able to restock this one when visiting the brewery last week.

Tasting notes: https://untp.beer/9dad39d6e9

"Our classic Tripel, Good Lord, further barrel aged for 6 months, with another classic Wallonian Abbey yeast added for complexity.... It further transformed, a shade darker and stronger, less carbonated and more winey."

Drinking a Waredaca Brewing Company Geedie - Belgian Style Tripel Ale - 9%

Tripel and quads tend to be the only Belgian style beers I like, so I snagged this one when I saw it. This tripel is really good. Hitting the spot right now

Yesterday went from to as I didn't have any Baltics in the collection. 🤦‍♂️😆

This one gives you a big vanilla blast combined with dark chocolate and a subtle bitterness in the finish. Nice one: 3.75/5⭐ 🍻

  • Malts: American Ale, Munich, Brown, Dark Crystal, Light Choc, Dark Choc, Toffee
  • Hops: Green Bullet (for balance)
  • Extras: Vanilla, Oak Barrel chips infused with Makers Mark

A gifted brew.... Not something I would buy myself as sours need to be sour.... But A+ for the effort, the gesture is much appreciated, @eswoooo 🤗

Fruity & sweetness with a subtle level of sourness, but not as sweet as I was expecting.

"Garage Project and Duck Island bring you Ambrosia Ice Cream Sour. Creamy lactose, oats, wheat, sour cherries, raspberries, marshmallows and chocolate nibs all go into making a sweet tart ice cream sour....."

    Wow the and stats are lower than expected 😮

    "According to new analysis of data from the Health Survey:

    • 93 percent of us eat red meat
    • 2.89 percent do not eat red meat, but do eat seafood and poultry
    • 1.4 percent are pescatarians (no red meat or poultry, but do eat fish)
    • 2.04 percent are true vegetarians (no meat or seafood at all)
    • Only 0.74 percent are true vegans (no meat, seafood or animal-derived products such as dairy)"

    Van Moll did it again... A really nice Calvados barrel aged rye wine. Sweetness, caramelly, dried fruit with an oaky and subtle bitterness in the end.

    Flavours of the beer: artificial banana bubble gum with a bitter-ish kick.

    Flavour of the cakes: yummmmm

    I was today years old when I tasted how much better the premium balsamic vinegar is over what I can by at my local supermarket.

    I'm having a hard time not sipping it straight out of the bottle.

    I found a recommendation for this one online and it's excellent.

    The 5-year anniversary of Liberty's Prohibition Porter also ushers in a new era.

    You can see the difference between the first version from 2017 and the current one. Does it matter? No of course not!

    This 5th edition (in 2020 and 2021, the series was "on a break") is just as tasty: full-bodied chocolate, vanilla, almond and bitter-sweet at the end. This one is very close to the 2017 original.

    Another mega tasty brew from Wilderness Brewing (Christchurch, New Zealand). 🍻

    A Walk through the Blossoms is a Brandy Barrel Saison with second use Stonefruit.

    So fruity, lots of peach/apricot flavours combined with a subtle tart, oaky funkiness. Spring in a bottle.
