  • This is an interesting one.

    It’s easy to acknowledge that trump is a huge douche. You also have to acknowledge that about half of the USA voting public supported him.

    It’s easy to make the “even one nazi at the bar” argument online but it’s kinda dumb in light of the huge number of supporters he had. Does that make the USA a nazi state? If so does that make the UN and nato? I think you would have a hard time assembling any group of folks as large as the community here without picking some of his supporters up. Is your local street/small town/college/whatever group nazi based because of that?

    It doesn’t help the political discussion at all to pretend a huge fraction of the population are beyond reason. Disagree with them all you want but they still exist and the world at large has to include them.

    That all being said, I 100% support this change. Skimming that community and his posts makes its pretty obvious its just a troll and possibly an alt. If it was an organic community that would be different. This proposal is an excellent way to deal with a troll.







  • I’ve been doing that style thing for years and it’s great. Have to say I disagree with his process a bit though. I don’t have the space or time to let it carbonate for a few days.

    I use a 1.5gal keg. Dump an inch or two of ice in the bottom and fill to about 1 gallon with water. My co2 regulator is set at 50psi. Connect co2 and shake for about a minute. You’ll hear it stop bubbling. Leave connected on counter for 15 minutes. Light shake every time you feel like it for those minutes. Disconnect the co2 and put the keg in the fridge. Usually I leave it for another 30 minutes or so before having some.

    No need to leave the co2 connected to serve with that pressure and space. You can be drinking the seltzer after that first minute if you want but it is better with that extra time. No patience for days.
