SING IT. I am so sick of the hoptastic crap out there. It's often boring hops and it's always too much of them. Can we send all these people to the India Pale Planet so I can get a decently balanced beer back here?

Clearly, we need a new major. We won't call it "fashion," since that obviously means something other than "designing clothes for large sectors of the population." Maybe put it in the Engineering School?

Clearly, perceptions may vary. I've always found it sweeter, as do my Icelandic friends, many of whom don't eat it because they find it too sweet. It's higher in calories for whatever reason. The rest like the skyr.is flavors, many of which aren't available in the KEA skyr. Eh. Skyr.is and KEA are marketed as

I'm up for it. Kumis for all!

Two brands, one venerable company. Skyr.is is way sweeter, a little thinner, and aimed at a younger, hipper consumer. MS/KEA skyr is older.

Well, at least it isn't because they're distracting ...

Now we have to make kumis popular. I just wonder whether industrially-produced whey is too acidic for beer or wine yeast to grow in. It seems like it's the pH that makes this stuff hard to get rid of.

Agreed. Hate the public proposals. So not okay.

Greenland purposely so named to bring more settlers. So says the saga.

Nope. Old school MS Skyr all the way. :)

Never. I have this job because I am a) pedantic and b) still socially awkward.

But the occasional unselfconscious street-corner smooch can be cute. At least, I kind of liked it when a random girl driving past yelled "YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE!" I aspire to being one half of that adorable octogenarian couple you sometimes see strolling around town.

Successful funny. I'm simply constitutionally unable to do my pedantic word-related thing. Seriously, I regularly derail perfectly good conversations with etymological asides. It's a sickness. I really should leave that shit in the classroom.

If you can't tell the difference between Scotch and rubbing alcohol, you are not a Scotch drinker.

And yet - sundresses and leggings (or whatever) aren't the same even if they reveal the same anatomical details. Compare how the upper thigh is somehow not as arresting below a pair of shorts and above the rest of a bare leg as it is peeping out above a stocking or OTK sock. —Or is that just me?

Classic confusion between noun and verb: Scotch, the drink, vs. scotch, "to put an end to."

Oh, and you're thinking skry.

Pretend the y is the i in "it" or "in." There you go.

Now I'm imagining Greek-yoghurt-caused climate change.

Yup. That's because it's actually a cheese. And whey is a byproduct, though probably not evil super acid whey.
