I'm not assuming anyone will act in good faith. Developers should build whatever is profitable. If they build a whole building of new short term rentals, that will increase the amount of existing units that become available to long term rentals. It seems like you just don't like tourism in your area.

I totally agree. More housing would be built if we were to just fix our broken zoning regulations and building approval processes but everyone is obsessed with banning Airbnb.

Why would you want to ban short term rentals when you could instead build more housing supply? Short term rentals bring in tons of money not only to property owners, but to the local area at large. Housing isn't a zero sum game where in order to have short term rentals, long term rental supply must go down. Zoning laws make it impossible to build high density housing and approvals for large building projects are subject to the whims of the local planning board or city council rather than concrete laws and requirements. If we were to fix zoning regulations and improve approval processes, you could have plenty of housing supply for both short term rentals and long term, and the community would be better off.

Eliminate zoning and other regulations that make it impossible to build sufficient housing supply.

Yeah; why do I feel sad for this little thing? I wasn't expecting a dumb meme to make me feel something today.

Yeah like why did this make me feel so sad for him? I really wasn't expecting this dumb meme to make me feel something today.

Feel free to make whatever you'd like, but I see no reason mead posts can't go in homebrewing. I don't make mead, but still would find the posts interesting.

If it's brand new, I strongly recommend passivating first with citric acid. Soaking in citric acid removes free iron at the surface, then the chromium will react with oxygen in the air to form a protective shiny barrier. I didn't passivate my kettle first and got a small buildup of iron in the trub and some slight staining. It's not a big deal and the beer is totally fine, but I still would do it if I bought another one. I just let it soak in acid, then wipe it clean with a paper towel (while wearing gloves) and let it air dry. Citric acid also removes beer stone from kettles and is pretty cheap.

Some people also call them Jerry cans. Here's an example on Amazon. I think they were originally made for water storage. cube

Actually I'd suggest buying hop plants. They are more established than rhizomes, so you will get hops sooner! I bought mine from great lakes hops I think and I would recommend them. I currently grow teamaker hops.

I've been no chil brewing for about 5 batches now and have noticed no ill effects. In fact, I've made some of my best beers. The only thing I don't like is that cleaning the cube is a bit of a pain in the ass, and I don't have any surplus hot water to clean my pump and kettle with. I think I definitely end up using a lot less water overall though which makes me feel good. Water is cheap and plentiful where I am so that isn't a huge deal, though I do like the saved time during brew day. I'm trying to make my IPAs more bitter anyway so that part doesn't bother me.

I've made some very clear beers with no chill with no whirlflock/Irish moss. I don't notice much of a difference.
