On average, warmer air means more moisture. Yes, some areas will have less. But they're absolutely correct.

0.5% in the States? Yuck. Paranoid. Anyway not too expensive. Filtering out the yeast. Bubbling oxygen through the mix. Increased nucleation might do it too.

Regardless: huge markup.

At least here it can have 1.1% ABV without triggering regulations. Most of the sugars get metabolized by yeast into alcohol, then bacteria into vinegars. The better it's oxygenated, the more vinegars are made. You don't remove the alcohol, you convert it.

So 40g of sugar in a litre would become about 20g of alcohol, most of which becomes vinegar. The exact amount depends on time, temp, oxygen.

Kombucha has to be in the running for most marked up drink. Stupid cheap to make, even if kegging it. Same essential process as beer.

For me Valheim and The Long Dark. It’s just one more day’s hike to get to Pleasant Valley…

I do love my bike commute, though. Saves me five dollars on bus fare and gets some exercise in. ❤️ also guilt free lunch.

Lemmy leans tech and higher income, so yeah, I’d expect a higher proportion.

On the other hand, they may have a good savings buffer built up.

rbos , 10 months ago to Linux in I realized why I enjoy Linux so much and why I've stuck with it all these years (slight vent)...

I’ve worked with windows professionally for many years, and have experienced far far more stupid inexplicable frustration with windows bugs than with Linux ones. Windows bugs are intractably unfixable and require arcane workarounds more often than not.
