I went straight to the source, I did a brewery tour and ate/drank at the Stiegl beer garden. still, not a good pilsner. they do have some other good beers, just not the pilsner. I do recommend the brewery tour though.

people just don’t realize that there are other beer options out there than macro brews, or hops.

narrow view. hefeweizen, dunkel, pilsner, bock, oktoberfest, schwarzbier. those are just some varieties of German beer styles. then you move over to Belgium and they get kind of nuts on their styles, witbier, dubbel, tripel, and then you get really wild with a gueuze, and that’s just a small representation of beer…

I own a bar, we have 12 taps, once a quarter I have to go in and drop my owners card on the table and tell my bar manager he only gets 3 taps for hoppy beers, which I think is generous. you want to rotate a few can cases of hoppy monstrosities, you go ahead, but I need certain things on tap, and if he had his way,…

hooray intolerance!

I am genuinely curious what reddit P&L looks like so I can have a real informed opinion on this subject. coming at me with feelings doesn’t do a lot. it comes as a shock to many, but the point of a business is to make money, it is not to give away things for free, or worse, at a loss.

it’s completely reasonable if that’s close to how much it costs to run the business.

I keep seeing people saying that reddit is charging too much. it seems like you are learned and have a complete cost analysis, including profit lines for reddit, can you please share that with the class so we might have an informed opinion?

please outline for me the cost to operate reddit so I can agree with you that the money they are charging for using their API is inappropriate?

a company in business to make money???!

yeah, cause people who aren’t ‘approved’ want to have their voice not heard, so they see that once or twice and move on.

consumption of media is different now.

bots suck, if they die because of this, good riddance.

nah, any business that builds their business model on another business not changing their own model needs to have a plan for what happens when that business does change the model.

nothing unique there.

yeah, Elon is a smart dude, but in the context which this information is presented doesn’t really smell right.

I think that was Pitch Black.

pretty sure it was the bridge jump in the opening race sequence of second one that set the tone of: this is no longer a reality based movie series, accept the implausible and have some fun.

tip, don’t tip, the consumer is always going to pay for that person to do the work.

I had a huge problem with that scene. like, all the operators are going to leave the room? no one even monitoring his condition? no alarm added to the ‘mind flayer’ so it doesn’t go above their max setting? nothing to report elevated conditions on the person being ‘conditioned’ to make sure they aren’t in serious…
