PeterL: danielpbarron I guess it depends on how you do it, I never did beer, but I made mead, and it was much cheaper than buying an equivalent volume, about an hour of work and
a few weeks of waiting
danielpbarron: pretty sure it costs more to make beer than to buy it; my brother does that and it's
a whole lot of work for not

a replacement eerom-8u that worx, as opposed to the first one they sent me.
gernika: asciilifeform: fyi I made
a trip to eetools HQ today and came back home with

a young woman and her husband from moving in THE SAME HOUSE and living

a poorly specified process ?

a BitBet to bet on who will win BB in auction. << bwahaha

a crucial element. there's
a (or two) lists of addresses bitbet was to use, signed by me. got them ?
