Next time you happen to find yourself in the US, try some Founders Breakfast Stout (8%) or Bell's Expedition Stout (10%) (if you hang on to it for a year, it gets even better). Hopslam (10%) is one of my favs but only comes out in January, and has already disappeared from the shelves. Sirotan fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Mar 5, 2018 |

They really have made a product that can be managed from anywhere really easily. Its the reason they can and do charge so much more than anyone else.

You guys are forgetting about the world of sours. So many amazing beers at 7-8%+ ABV without crazy hops or booziness. I live in So Cal so am spoiled with good sour breweries like The Bruery, Modern Times, Almenac, and The Rare Barrel.

I just had a quadrupel from DuClaw today that was 13% and delicious. Oude Rode Ogen. Stone w00tstout is also pretty solid, as is Fat Head's Hippy Sippy Imperial Stout oh rly posted:You guys are forgetting about the world of sours.

MF_James posted:Golden Monkey is good if you are into the Belgian side of things. There are definitely a lot of high-ABV beers which are boozy and kinda crappy, just high ABV to have a big number, similar to how there are a bunch of overhopped IPAs just to have a big IBU number, but there are enough breweries that care about flavor who do it right that counting them out entirely is never a good idea. What's really fun is brewing your own heavy beers, it turns brewing in to a real challenge, but when you get it right it's so rewarding. A friend and made a mix a few years ago that I can't even categorize but ended up around 15%. It was sort of a stout, sort of a porter, heavy on the chocolate malts, and a bit boozy at bottling but that aged out very well. wolrah fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Mar 6, 2018 |

But once, I visited US and just wanted some beer to have by the time I get back home (  ) and the only thing they had in that store was budweiser. I had Bud Light before in my life, which was piss but drinkable, so surely Budweiser red cant be too bad. It was. The amount is irrelevant. It is the most awful thing that I ever tasted that wants to pass as beer. Never again.

Sours are great! The Kriek (= cherry) is pretty great if you like a fruity taste to your beer - it's still sour, though, not sweet. 10 years back, before the beer hype in the States, I used to urge American collegues to try some but they couldn't get their head around the idea of sour beer. Score extra points with beer hipsters and refer to them as Lambiek or Geuze, because that's what they're based on.

Beerchat: About 5 minutes by foot from my workplace is a nice pub having great selection of craft beers. Some time ago two of my very good friends started working there, and the owners are pretty great and chill people to hang out with. They have their own bitter, lager, pils and stout, while also serving pretty good selection from local microbreweries. Few days ago I was talked into drinking IPA with beet juice, it was... not awful I guess? Idk, I'm not a fan of IPAs while it's freezing cold outside. They also have two different brands of homemade scotch, which are decent. As for the actual content, I've lost all of the patience for the lack of basic troubleshooting skills by some of the coworkers. Today I was witnessing a coworker having issues with setting Office 365 email account in outlook. Using a local account, everything works perfect, but as soon as you try to set up outlook on domain account, it just says "Encrypted connection to MS Exchange is unavailable". I pointed him towards Support and Recovery Assistant for Office 365, but it didn't really help, it would set up a profile, but then throw out "Connection to MS Exchange is unavailable", and he kept spinning in circles. Granted, this seems like a peculiar problem, but it still took me less than 15 minutes of googling to solve it. If anyone runs into the same issue, there were changes in how windows credential manager works, the fix is to navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Protect\Providers\df9d8cd0-1501-11d1-8c7a-00c04fc297eb] and make a DWORD named ProtectionPolicy with a value of 1. Now, I probably shouldn't be mad at a coworker for wasting my time, and I normally wouldn't for an issue like this, if it wasn't for a problem that happened yesterday. A client called him, they are video production shop, and their render farm was unreachable over network. He was there for 4 hours, and was calling me every 15 minutes, while I was guiding him through basic steps. Check the switches. Check the cables. Disconnect everything from switches, connect one by one thing. Both switches in the main rack work fine. Rest of the network works fine. Eventually, I went there to help him. I take a look at the back of two racks with render machines, and all cables lead to a rack different than one in which above stated two switches are. I open it, and sure enough, there is a dead switch there. "I didn't see it". Yeah, well gently caress you, if you opened the bloody door, maybe you would have.

Just found out that we're giving out some desktop computers with 4GB of RAM. They're OptiPlex 9020's so not exactly brand new, but drat. Had a user call because she was getting out of memory errors with 15 Chrome tabs, Outlook, 4 PDFs, and 3 word documents. Might be a bit excessive on the Chrome there, but man, toss some RAM in those. I'd cry if I only had 4GB in my work machine.

Bit lame: as a contractor I'm not involved in the client's downing of tools and making fun prototypes week, instead staying home working on the backlog while the permies get a trip to Edinburgh. Not pissing me off: snow hitting in force during that week and stranding all the permies in Scotland for several days with no way home.

So I'm having a fun day. I'm working from home, but I also am having some problems with my basement sump pump, and I have people coming to visit, and a ton of furniture arrived this morning. I'm currently context switching between these three tasks all morning: 1) migrating some content between databases 2) using my shop vac to drain my sump well 3) assemble a piece of furniture The sump takes about 1/2 hour to fill, the migration commands take about 40 minutes, so I'm doing stations and switching between each. Hopefully there's no major database issues so my basement doesn't flood.

No, I was searching for ram options just after I posted that, and apparently Crucial makes a 2x16GB kit that works in the W550s, so I guess the 16GB max thing was from when the machine was released. Bob Morales posted:They're dual-core i7 not quad-core i7 like the old W series was, so you only get 2 RAM slots intead of 4 Yeah... Those 2x16 kits aren't even available in  , but you can buy single 16GB sticks for 80% of the price of a kit. Price gouging and RAM shortages ftw.

Pissing me off: lovely service we use lets us set password requirements for users but requires admin accounts follow their password policy: Must have at least 3 capitals, at least 3 lower case at least 3 symbols at least 3 numbers Must be between 15 and 19 characters long cannot be the same as any password used in the last 90 days Expires after 14 days, if you don't log in for 28 days your account is deactivated. So obviously I'm using keepass so just setup a generator and forget about everything else since I need to use this most days. Today I got a strange error: Someone has used @2*!QdiaD09MRv#31Ks in the last 90 days They confirmed, the 90 days of passwords not being used is actually company wide to prevent reusing passwords!  By attempting to change the password to this one I reset the history counter too!They then offered to lease me a fob for $49.99 a month.
