    That's why I don't do PT.

F'ing Chinese are really starting to get under my skin.  I guess I shouldn't worry about various muzzie groups getting ahold of that information though, since it's probably safer on Chinese servers than it is at OPM/DoD.

Go to www.northernbrewer.com to get started. I've bought most of my equipment off of there, and they have great starter kits for wine and beer. I started making my own wine years back, and just got into beer brewing a little over a year ago. Luckily, most of the equipment transfers between the two. I would suggest having at least two fermentation vessels of 6 gallons each. Your beer batches will likely be 5 gallons, but you're going to want to have some headspace in there, especially for the first couple of days while fermentation is very active. The reason why I suggest having two vessels is because you're going to want to rack your beer from one vessel to the next in order to increase clarity. Some folks bottle directly from their primary fermentation vessel. You can do that with beer, but you'll end up with more sediment and perhaps bits of hoppy goodness in your bottles. If you intend on sharing, and sharing is caring, others might not want floaties in their beer. It's a great hobby, and once you get started you're going to end up purchasing much of this equipment anyway. It's cheaper in the long run to go ahead and get the kit, and get a 6 gallon carboy to go along with it if one is not included. The kits are around $100 last I checked. Most of that stuff will last you a lifetime, so it will pay for itself after you make a few batches. Don't be discouraged if you screw up your first few batches. Mistakes are going to happen, and it's the only way you'll really learn to do this well and efficiently. Wine is much easier to make, it just takes a while longer to ferment and bulk age, so the learning curve on making the good stuff isn't quite as steep as beer. I'm glad I started out making wine first because I was able to learn my sanitation routines in a relatively consequence-free environment, since the alcohol content of my wine is so high, my juice isn't as susceptible to bacteria (I don't at stabilizing agents to my wine). Are you looking to brew beer from kits of liquid malt extract/dry malt extract, or go all grain? I started out using LME to practice (which was good practice), but skipped to all grain because it's way cheaper than those kits which include all the ingredients.

If it's just the SF 86 then it shouldn't be more than what is on that paperwork though.  I wouldn't think that OPM tracks all that other stuff; at least not in the same place.

And this is why I don't want to be read on to crap I don't need to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just changed addresses so who knows. I'd much rather get my SSN compromised (like the VA did for me) than have my SF 86 out there. The type of people sifting through that information may very well be some bad people. Regardless of my address changing since my last one, that has all my close personal contacts, professional contacts, much of my military related history, and the clearances I have held. I just submitted my renewal last month, so hopefully they figured this out before then. Friggin idiots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha, I'm just trolling you Caster. This seems to be an emotional subject; blood in the water and all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  Disney is likely hedging their bets that there aren't a significant number of Star Wars novel readers who will be so incensed as to not watch this new release.  Pretty much, they don't care about you or your books; they gots Mickey money to generate!   You should go watch it though.  They'll likely have Jar Jar Binks in it, who was arguably the best character ever.  So, like Luke Skywalker once said, live long and prosper.  Let the force be ever in your favor.

I wouldn't classify my statement as being apathetic; more like hopeless. The leftist media is winning the hearts and minds of the masses due to distribution of misinformation to people too stupid or lazy to think logically. I do my part. I'll hold my nose and vote for whomever is less of a fascist and seeks to usurp the Constitution the least out of the two candidates who make it to the election. Or maybe that's how we got here in the first place? Apathetic though? Absolutely not. I'm just looking at things realistically. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So sorry for your loss. Cancer can take a terrible toll. My family has also been touched by cancer several times over this year, and the feeling of helplessness is only overshadowed by preparing for loss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All true, but I feel as if getting a Republican in there for the next SCOTUS nominee is only delaying the inevitable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last I heard, Charleston SC is the most shelled city in the Western Hemisphere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm sure that is true, however, my post is referring to the loudest voices in the media who have been manufacturing outrage in the wake of any shooting involving people who have different skin pigments than one another. My post accurately reflects their hypocritical viewpoints. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Black lives only matter when white people are involved. When black people kill black people, it is not news because it does not support the narrative. In fact, it's racist to even bring this up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I couldn't get the link to open. Will try again later. The use of jamming technology is illegal, and is enforced. Not too long ago there was a guy rolled up in Nashville for using a gps jammer. Life was not easy for him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like the one in Clarksville? I've never experienced wait times like the ones here. I've been there a few times and always end up waiting three hours, and the place is filled beyond capacity. I used to drive by here each day on the way to work. A long line is normally formed at least an hour before it opens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Question: Why does THP have a 240 on their boat? Answer: Because they weren't allowed to have a .50 cal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whaaa? My kids and I love that movie. If anything, I interpreted the plot to have a liberty-oriented subtext, as the plot centers around defeating an overbearing, militarized government which seeks to control the individual liberties of its citizens. Plus I do the Batman voice for my kids. Makes them crack up every time. Life is too short to be so serious 24/7. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
