I just noticed the Pi symbol in the bottom right of every Reddit page, what are some other cool Reddit Easter eggs? by stucknmovein AskReddit

With enough practice, you can beat that game with one life in about 25-28 minutes. My friends and I in college used to use Contra as a "delivery timer." If the driver arrived with our food before we finished the game, he received an extra big tip.

My GF described it as skyrim with lego. I found that to be strangely accurate.

The 360 version is basically beta 1.6, so most of the current features are intact other than brewing and enchanting.

On the positive side, this only affects the "imgurians" who browse the gallery. Regular linked images uploaded by redditors aren't included...

Do we have anything like Seattle's Bathtub Gin here? by detroitdoesntsuckbadin Portland

[–]hopstar 0 points1 point ago

Just brewpubs and beer? There's a ton of fancy cocktail bars in town. I'm not a cocktail person, but I'll try and get the GF to chime in with a list of places that she and her friends enjoy.

I hadn't planned on it, but I was just gifted two suite level tickets about 10 minutes ago, so now I'm going!

Facebook stock sinks 11 percent, below IPO price by francohabin technology

[–]hopstar 2 points3 points ago

I guess it depends on your friend base and interests. I have a handful of active family members (mostly my sister, her husband, and a bunch of 20-30 year old cousins), a dozen or so "real friends", 40-50 people in a circle dedicated to home brewing and other beer stuff (most of whom I know IRL), and a circle full of interesting people I don't know like scientists, a few geeky celebrities like Wil Wheaton, and a bunch of photographers.

I don't post much, but I like scrolling through the feed for news and photographic inspiration, and the Instant Upload feature saved about 600 photos when my phone died a few months ago. The interface has also improved greatly since the release, and is much cleaner and more intuitive than FB, so I have a feeling it'll just take time for more people to try it out until it hits a critical mass.

Long history? Other than the Bad Luck Brian AMA (FWIW, I agreed with his decision), what else has he censored?

What did you brew this weekend? Week 7 by Mjap52in Homebrewing

[–]hopstar 0 points1 point ago

We brewed a no-boil Berliner Weisse which will get split into a couple different carboys for secondary aging on fruit. Both carboys were bubbling happily by the following morning. Assuming it flocs out and slows down by Wednesday we'll rack/transfer.

We also transferred our Banana Split Weizen into secondary on top of 1.5lbs of strawberries, 1oz of cocoa nibs, 1/2 of a vanilla bean, and .5oz citra hops. I drank the gravity sample and it's right where we want it in terms of creamy body, abv, and banana ester flavor.

Coming up this week we have two projects:

  • A 10 gallon batch of cider which will then be split and infused with ginger (5 gallons), hops (2.5 gallons), with the last 2.5 gallons left unadulterated.

  • A 6 gallon batch of single malt, single hop IPA brewed with 100% Golden Promise and Citra hops.

Can you tell I'm gearing up for hot weather drinking?

flopped terribly

I wouldn't call growing to 170 million users in less than a year "flopping terribly."

Homebrewing tip for fruit brews. Forget the extracts, forget the whole fruits... by MDWilliams03in Homebrewing

[–]hopstar 0 points1 point ago

If you want to use puree instead of fruit I'd recommend Oregon Fruit Products instead. Most of the local breweries swear by their product, and its about 30% cheaper than Vintner's Harvest. Oh, and it also comes in smaller 8-15oz cans, so you don't have to worry about using an entire 49oz can in one shot.

What did option C say before it was shopped?

Why would we want to kill 9Gag? Best case scenario, they move on to another site and continue posting stupid shit. Worst case scenario, they migrate here and start posting stupid shit. I'd prefer they stay where they are.

So you let your kid play with this and also photographed it? You must be a special kind of parent. by insideabagin WTF

Judging by the exposed power strip and other assorted hazards scattered around the room, I feel like the nature of this toy is the least of the kid's worries.

I wonder if that's the same company that makes Glandular Disorder Frozen Yogurt.

It's my cake day IRL, heres a pic of my chihuahua driving while my weiner takes a break from sticking his head out the window..sfw by InRealLife904in pics

Having loose animals in the car is usually a bad idea because they become furry projectiles in the event of an accident, but having two dogs in your lap while driving is a horrible idea.

Advice on scooter purchase? 2005 Honda Metropolitan. by Nelliain scooters

[–]hopstar 0 points1 point ago

It's not so much about the top speed, it's that 4 strokes are slower to accelerate than 2 strokes, so you may feel a bit slow off the line. I would definitely take it for a spin; Honda's are solid machines and this seems like a pretty good deal.

What is the deal with the punch top cans? by hornytoad69in beer

[–]hopstar 1 point2 points ago

I'm actually in Portland, but $8.99/6pk is the going rate for most "mainstream" craft 6pks from the likes of Deschutes, Widmer, Sierra Nevada, etc (assuming they're not on sale), so $10 isn't too out of line.

However, when I'm in the mood for something like a pils or light lager I generally plan on having a few and sharing with friends, so I usually go with stuff that offers a better bang for the buck like Bitburger (4 pint cans for $5), Bayern Pilsner (often on sale for $6.99/6pk) or 12pks of Session for $10-11.

My son had a meltdown over Soul Calibur V. Is it worth it ONLY with armor pack? by ICanSayItHerein truegaming

[–]hopstar 1 point2 points ago

I made the mistake of buying it when they added PS3 Move support (2011?), but I traded it in shortly after when I realized the same thing that lidster pointed out. It was a fun game, but there's no way in hell I'm paying another $50 to unlock a handful of courses just to complete Tour mode.
