The problem that there are many homeless outweighs the problem that somebody wants to have a holiday home. Soliving the homeless problem by not solving the holiday home problem is valid.

I've drafted multiple responses to this but I find this comment so nonsensical that I get lost in my own anger trying to formulate a coherent sentence.

Sir/madam, you have broken me.

Even after trumpism is defeated, there's a lot of trust for the US people to rebuild with their allies.

If the people are so willing to vote in dictator idiot maniacs, then how can other countries trust those same people to not do it again?

It's the same for European countries at the moment as well. The UK is fairly less trusted right now because they vote idiots like Farage, Hungary is snubbed because Orban is a Russian колбаса sucker - so on and so on.

Those generations that vote these people in will still live a few more decades and as such any goodwill towards them is diminished.

For he insulation layer, I've seen people use sponges. Do you recommend anything else?

Beer brewing is kinda of doing this for me right now.

I'm getting excited each time I see the colour when I bottle it and then after a couple of weeks when it's drinking time I'm like a kid of Christmas day to see how it tastes.

From a grown up perspective there's legs to this as well. I can start off cheap, see how to improve, and slowly gather more equipment to do it better and better.

Haha thanks for the congratulations! Now time to sit and wait. Anticipating the first sip :D

It's on the list, but not something I've researched much yet. Do you recommend?

Did you add them raw or boiled them down or something? And what was your best flavour?

What exactly are Americans getting for the tax they pay in now?

Surely chocolate teapot is th classic. Although that tastes good - I'd wager Trump does not.

Even some small word saying something better than 'it could have been worse'. It really cements how pathetic our country has become.

This is all my knee jerk reaction however. I'll l probably say something more sensible tomorrow.

I also concede that we have no other choice. We shot ourselves in the foot with Brexit thinking the US might be reliable and now look where we are.

I'm just annoyed at our whole ridiculous situation right now.

Personally I'd like it if ministers showed some backbone.

Great tips thank you!

Thanks for the tip. Our ideas of cheap are different though haha

P.s. just attached the sediment pic in a comment. Image upload is acting flakey today.

Thanks.

I have glass bottles but was sick when it was bottling time and it was just easier to use the plastic ones. They're basically my emergency bottles.

As for the temp, it seems that with this kit it needs to be on the cooler side (18-21c). The room I was doing it in is fairly cool but not that cool and it creeped up to 23c for probably about 10 of the initial 24 hours unfortunately. When I noticed I got the wet towels out which helped a lot.

After that it says to keep is between 15-21 on the online instructions, and 14-18 on the physical ones. I avged about 16c throughout the brew phase so got that okay.

With the warmer weather coming, I'm concerned I won't be able to keep this cool enough without some extra stuff (was thinking an old freezer unit for insulation, and some kind of wet blanket or ice pack rotation).

It's almost as if neither of the parties that will win through FPTP (first past the post) care about the people, and care more for satisfying the rich.

Due to FPTP, I can only vote labour as for my views they're the slightly lesser of two terrible parties.

At the same time, neither of the parties that benefit from FPTP will think about changing it and even if they did most of the population would fall for the propaganda machine anyway (see Brexit and decades of awful Tory government / the nonsense that the right are spewing out but gaining popularity)
