Hashcat is likely the best option, once you have the hash. The newest version of Hashcat has support for PKZIP Hashes, which allows very quick recovery of passwords from .zip archives that use the pkzip encryption. They actually used this to guess all passwords up to 15 characters in under 15 hours.
If @suspended encrypted this file with a tool that uses PKZIP, then they might be in luck.

I don't recall the exact numbers, but I believe the ethanol content was in the 12-16% range (plus the pound of sugar).
I was fine with that level, until I saw all the results quoting the 20% ethanol level as being tested to effectively kill bacteria and prevent growth. It's not logically sound, but my thought process is "Well, the minimum level that's been tested to kill bacteria is 20%, therefore anything less is unsafe."
I know that's not cogent.

minor germaphobiafear of dying alone from foodborne illnessesmeager understanding of kitchen safety limits me to in-fridge quick pickling. I want to ferment and age things. I even have a 6-month batch of aged eggnog in my fridge that I'm afraid to sample (what if there's salmonella in it?).How do these ducks not all go rotten? How do people regularly age game out in cool areas and not just die all the time from spoilage?
How can I be sure my eggnog is not teeming with hostile bacteria before drinking it?

Comment on Kaddish for David Berman in ~music
whisper LinkThis seems presumptuous of Berman's faith — pinning meaning to his lyrics where authorial intent may not match. Though, maybe his lyrics are so resonant because listeners can ascribe many meanings...This seems presumptuous of Berman's faith — pinning meaning to his lyrics where authorial intent may not match. Though, maybe his lyrics are so resonant because listeners can ascribe many meanings to them. I know this can be said of all lyrics, but I think it's particularly the case with the cryptic, highly allusional form that Berman's writing takes. Either way, it's a moving elegy to Berman's death and the death of faith in modern American Judaism.
The quoted passage from Leonard Cohen was particularly interesting, as I was unaware he had been so enmeshed in the culture wars circumscribing modern Judaism.

You should shop this as an essay to a major publication. Your writing is compelling, and it's the sort of writing that enlightens people. If you got this in front of several million people, it could help sway opinions.
