Today I learned how to properly make Ethanol. I have had a lot of failures in the past. The trick is, to have a 1:2 of water and sugar. I hope it works out this time...

I learned how much easier GIMP is to use than MS Paint. It may just be that GIMP is far more advanced a program with a much wider variety of features, but anything I make using GIMP looks a thousand times better than anything I make in MS Paint. I can't seem to make anything non-pixely in Paint.
