Good interview and inspiring listen to how he use open source tools in particular Krita in his daily work and release the art under Creative common license.

About three years ago I tasted a fine bottle of Brewdog (Scotland) vs. Weihenstephan (Bavaria) India Pale Weizen.
That was a real taste bomb! Wheatbeer sweetness with hoppy bitterness! Perfect collaboration!

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode because I'm familiar with Franziskaner and Erdinger beers. We have a store here in Miami, FL called Total Wine which carries a wide variety of alcoholic drinks as well as non-alcoholic beverages for using in cocktails.
Total Wine is my go-to place for getting German beers like Fraziskaner and Erdinger, as well as a variety of Warsteiner beers. To me, Warsteiner seems to be the most mass-produced beer, and the first one I've ever tried of the German beers, as it's the only one I've found in one of the supermarkets here (usually the pilsner). Total Wine will carry a variety pack of Warsteiner that includes the pilsner, the Dunkel, and the "Brewer's Gold," all of which are pretty good.
However, I find Erdinger and Franziskaner to taste much better, and you both nailed it on the head with Fraziskaner. I've only had Erdinger Dunkel because I do like the darker beers, and I find it to be my favorite of the two. Very eager to try this Erdinger that was reviewed, so I'll be paying Total Wine a visit soon.
BTW, I also chuckled when you poured the Erdinger and described it. Just from the sound I knew what you were getting!

Thanks gents - great show!
Some comments:
- Franziskaner is definitely a Hefeweizenbier.
- Did you chill them? They should be drunk from the fridge (or if draft they are served chilled). Great for a summer evening in the Biergarten!
In my opinion, all german weizenbiers of this type are hefeweizen. Based on my experience in Germany (my wife is German and comes from the south), if you ask for a Weizenbier, you will get a helleshefeweizen beer. Often you will get beer from a local brewery, and not from the big brewers. That beer doesn't make it to the UK (sadly).
There are actually three types of hefeweizen:
- Dunkel (dark)
- Helles (light - what you have both drunk)
- Krystall - this is Helleshefeweizen with the yeast and wheat proteins filtered out. Often drunk with a slice of lemon in the top.
I agree with your comment about not mixing it- I have had many great evenings treating these as a session beer!
Looking forward to the next episode!

Coming from the northeastern part of Germany from the beginning, that means former GDR, I believed I hated beer because we only had Pilsner- and Lager-styled and they all aren't in my taste in any way - just disgusting and repulsive bitter. But then after the reunification someone from the southern part of Germany introduced me to Hefeweizen, and wow, beer CAN taste good.
Erdinger is good, but when you sometime get the chance, you should test Schöfferhofer, Störterbecker or the dark variant of Franziskaner.
And, don't believe, they all come from Bavaria! Two of those I named aren't from the home of Oktoberfest.

Thanks for the episod on the gpg/ssh key configuration.
It could help many people to get a clean picture of each configuration when putting them side by side as Archer72 did.

This episode was such a beautiful trip down memory lane. Your poetry captured that strange feeling of nostalgia in a tech-driven world perfectly. Both grounding and thought-provoking!

Oh wow... I'd sure love a black mirror for home too. That sounds cool.
And your kids? For sure they should become dentists. Don't you think?
What's that AGI kurfuffle you're talking about? Is that the Alternate Galaxy Immigration movement that I have been hearing about a lot? (it seems it will blow away All Immigration somewhere in the future)

Thanks for this episode! Really enjoyed it. For someone who is somewhat burnt out with technology, it was refreshing to hear your tech-influenced poetry. Looking forward to hearing more!

Great show and I hope it extends to a series. Each of these poems deserved it's own show. I found myself re-listening, and pausing to have time to contemplate the meaning of each.
Keep 'em coming.

What are you talking about? I just went to my dentist and wanted to share my story because I was so happy with how he handled my teeth!
Reach out in private, and I'll happily share his contact information (warning though: he's not cheap! but that's obviously also testimony of how great he is)

Hi Ahuka,
Great show as your usual, with nice explanations of the science involved.
No use the Force, Luke. But then again no jokes like "Hey Darth Vader, nice suit. It must have cost you an arm and a leg" ;-)

I really like this little story, both since it is pretty funny, and highlights the absurdity of this whole thing. I think putting all of this in a different context that isn't beyond most people is a really good tool to point out just how stupid all of this is. We all know not everyone isn't as tech literate, and it infuriates me somewhat seeing that being taken advantage of...

Stop press: the decision on hashtag#chatcontrol has been removed from the agenda of the ministers of home affairs next week.
It is safe to assume that the file will be revisited later. So don't stop keeping your eye on this issue!
Would like to share this open letter by a bunch of people smarter (and a lot politer) than me...
