Quarantined how are you spending your time?

One of the nicest places we may want to buy a home is in Montana. It had a fresh air and very affordable housing. We stayed in an AirBnB there and the house was about 4 times the size of the one we sold in San Francisco for 1/5th the price.

You just added another reason :slight_smile: No sales tax either.

Low population density area is probably a good place to be right now.

I moved here in 2006 to volunteer for Americorps and expected to move somewhere else after my year of service was finished. Instead, I fell in love and have been here for 14 years now. Bought my first house (2 bedroom) at age 26 on a teacher’s salary. That’s unheard of in the US.

Let me know next time you’re around. I’ll deliver you a growler :slightly_smiling_face:

This is amazing!! :laughing: Feels like humans can always find a way to survive, make businesses and satisfy ourselves somehow no matter what difficulty we are facing at the very moment.

The key to buying a house young is working a lot during high school. I worked practically full time since 14 (along with school), and basically saved anything. I bought my house cash right out of high school. (Should probably note that I got it for way under the actual value of the home since it’s a “family house”.

You are a lucky man.
In München we have delivery services from Beverage stores.
I dont need to take, as this one is 5 minutes from our house.

This is one row from 5.
Enough stuff there.

These bottles come into fashion more and more here again.
This is an old type of plug.
Usually they got the normal taps.

But these bottles can be closed easily again.
And what a great “sound” when opened the first time.

Your stoneware bottle is nice!

My basement beer storage is really harmless Paul.
Only 3 boxes stored there. :joy:
(60 bottles a 1/2 liter)
Not hoarding beer, though its essential for me.

I’m not old enough to get a delivery. They’re all fully booked. Example.

In fact the people who are old enough struggle to get delivery, I have been doing their shopping until they could get a delivery.

Also I think @gAnkster has the superior solution, direct from brewery, it is healthier for you as its still alive, lots of Vit B nutrients from the still alive yeast. Real Ale vs something they killed before putting in a can and artificially added CO2. It has to be delivered as soon as barreled and stored in temperature controlled space and consumed in 2-6 weeks.

And dont forget those perfect antiviral mouthwashes with beer.
Its medicine!

There is a shortage of fresh yeast now.
Dry yeast is nowhere to be found.

How to create yeast at home?

Should I start experiments with beer? :rofl:

You just need yeast to start the process.

Bread: once its risen, take off a section of the dough and cover it and keep it to side, and then knead it into the next batch. Repeat, ideally daily.

Beer: The brewing process makes yeast, once its settled to the bottom of the first fermentation barrel, and you syphoned the beer to the 2nd fermentation pressure barrel, you can keep it and put some in the next barrel.

If you keep a continual bread or beer making process, you never need to buy yeast after the first sachet.

There was no sunflower oil available today.
We normally dont use.

But it was a ingredient for a special cake my wife made.
She took olive oil (very mild one with < 0.2% acid)
Perfect.
No more need of such sunflower oil.

Learning by doing and experimenting.

Many fantastic food creations were born by such experiments! :rofl:

Nah, its the shops who wait til they sold all their stock, then act, is the problem. People will hoard but they still have to pay for it, and the shop can refuse to sell more than 1-2 items, but then they’d make less money. They know when hoarding is happening. Then once they sold all their stock, they leap forward as the great heroes.

Here in UK it was busier than the busiest ever Christmas, and they didn’t notice til too late?

I don’t see why not a 2 item limit all the time? Why should someone need, say, 3 24-pack toilet roll in a trolley?
