Homesteading

OMG I love Two Hearted Ale!! It and DogFishHead's IPAs are my favorite widely available IPA microbrews.

You should come to Michigan, I'll take you to Bells. Take you up North, see the sights, see the lights! You'll have to bring me a spare tweed jacket though.

and Bell's just opened a new brewery in the UP

Y'all are killing me with the craft brews. I don't miss my liquor too much, but these IPAs . This is why I stay out of the drinking thread.

Oh yeah, Austin is one of the keen places for it. Lots of previously bad neighborhoods for them to fill with coffee shops and such. I seriously think it will lead to other large cities around to get worse. Possibly San Antonio.

As long as they don't ruin the city's beautiful queer underbelly.

Hasn't hurt Austin's community, so...

SATX is actually better about that stuff. Especially trans resources.

Well I'm just saying. Austin is more "known" for it, San Antonio has it but you don't hear about it. Well, at least I don't.

Yeah it's quieter, but it's very strong, very active, and quite large.

Big old battery!

That's kind of fascinating. Battery technology like that could be helpful to homes with alternative energy production. This is one possible answer to the old solar power at night question.

It all comes down to price and safety. I can rack 27m batteries at about $100 a pop - its not pretty but it would be hidden away.
