Awesome, that's very helpful to know! I'll just keep an eye on it, the, from three days on. I suspect I'll bottle it before seven, but probably a few days past three, depending on how it's looking. I'm really hoping this basic recipe works out well, because it'd be fun to play with to see what other...

Re: Relax, Don't Worry, Have a Homebrew
So yesterday I popped by the brewing supply store and picked up some English ale yeast. It's all cooked up now and living in the boiler cupboard and I suppose in a few days we shall see if we have success. Noodle, I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on interpreting this part of the directio...

Re: The Race Relations/Diversity/Equality Thread
Oh I definitely agree that it's a lazy attempt. But it certainly is better than what I've seen more often, which is having breadth requirements and calling your school interdisciplinary, despite the fact that none of those breadth requirements intermingle in any capacity.

Re: The Race Relations/Diversity/Equality Thread
That really does sound like a poor attempt at interdisciplinary studies. That said, I'm impressed they actually attempted at something which could be interpreted as interdisciplinary, as opposed to what I usually see.

I used to do it in Toronto, and there's definitely groups in some of the cities not too far from here. The catch is we don't have an affordable way to get there. I think there's salsa and such here, but it's Lindy that I miss!

That reminds me a bit of the Flannery O'Connor I was reading recently. The kind of language being used by her characters was utterly foreign to me and you could see how they thought they were being polite and what have you while still being horrified at their attitudes and language.
