You know when you say a word over and over and over again until it sounds weird and completely detached from its original meaning?

It’s my first time trying to make ice-cider. It took 5 days for it to start bubbling, and I’m worried that some other bacteria started before the yeast culture could thrive. I’ve never seen that much foam before.

Get yourself a hobby that makes you blush. Remember your arm guards, kids!

There is absolutely no shame in boxed, store-brand apple juice - especially if you're making cider! Happy experimenting!

Sometimes you write cool code you're super proud of! ... but you can't test it because @cloudflare.social has decided your requests are shit ☹️ Yes, I'm aware 525 error means "host server SSL handshake" but works in Firefox perfectly fine and this is blatant discrimination against script kiddies

Error in Client.php line 71: Cloudflare is being a dick, and has determined your requests are not "legitimate".
