I believe what you just described is called “normal working day”.

Some people are astounding idiots. And a lot of the beer business expects a hell of a lot of freebees, unlimited returns, massive discounts, bribes etc. Somewhat particularly when dealing with Bud and Coors.

Because once upon a time that’s how it all…

They already reduced volume on the rest of them. Because their entire catalog is cratering.

Seltzers haven’t so much gotten into the seasonal thing until very recently. They do do limited availability flavors, here till it’s gone kind of things. And frequently introduce new flavors, and discontinue old ones.

The whole product category is heavily seasonal though. The volume in spring and summer is vastly…

remains good for 9 months after production.

I called this. The signs were out there for over a year. The band wagon effect with hundreds of seltzers launching in the last 3 years. Major brands shifting to iterations targeted at other FMB niches. High ABV, the “lemonade seltzers” that are just diet hard lemonade. The attempt at the same for iced tea, hard sodas.…

It’s a very profitable marketing pitch.

They know it works poorly, they know stuff goes wrong. But it’s cheaper this way. The “disruption” tech and venture capital all prattle on about is nothing more fucking labor and ignoring regulations. 

so if you are eating veggies, give them some.

And if the skin is contaminated?

So normal? Cause excess inventory on the lot was the big, never gonna fix it back when "millennials just don't want cars" during a global recession. 

Uh. All that competition in the car business means the “incentive” is once production can ramp back up. Some one will do so for the sake of undercutting you.

If it’s between waiting on a GM at a high price. And buying a Ford now for less. What are people going to do?

I mean Ford just launched an economy truck. That…

There is something very off putting about that front end for sure.

It has existed for a couple hundred years.

Fair bit of the articles here are just drawn from press releases. 

So this appears to be entirely routine coffee substitute. But greenwashed to high hell and billed as something new.

Point worth making is coffee substitutes like chicory are mostly a thing because they’re significantly cheaper. Like a whole fuck ton cheaper. Charging fancy coffee prices for them would be really…

Apparently not without some work on Windows 10. I seem to remember the Homeworld games being sorta tricky to run. 

Sure I don’t see why “but PCs are hard” justification has to be any part of that. Since much of it just isn’t true, and hasn’t been for a long time.

DAO apparently has some squirly on modern systems, though there are plenty of unresolved bugs left from the original release. It ran fine last time I ran through it a few years back, so I think it was recent Windows and Directx changes or something wut done it. I was thinking of playing through it again because I got…

There’s also a reason I’ve never been much of a PC gamer. I just like things to work without any fuss.

So first and fore most, provided we are talking about games that came out after about 2005, and honestly most games from 2000. They tend to just work in Windows. It’s a little more hit and miss heading back into the 90's, and DOS games generally you want to use an emulator.

There is seldom a ton of work needed these…

DOSbox is the go to emulator for DOS games. There is a MacOS version.
