    Nah, I have spent too much time and money on them both to agree. Founders is good, but their stouts and 15 packs do a lot of work for their brand.

    The only thing I’ve had from Bell’s that stands out is two hearted and while it’s good, it’s unremarkable with current beer offerings. Most breweries have a beer that stacks up against two hearted in quality even if their distribution doesn’t stack up

    (Apart from the stouts already mentioned) Founders porter, harvest ale, blushing monk, double trouble, and all of the bastards are all outstanding.
    Very solid choice for a “one brewery for the rest of your life“ poll.

    The owner/founder Koch is originally from Cincinnati. In the early years of Boston Beer/Sam Adams, they didn’t own their own brewery and contracted out with others.

    In the 1990’s, he bought the old Hudepohl brewery where his dad used to work and it’s one of their three main breweries to this day.

    Boston Lager is a solid beer as are their seasonals. Not crazy about most of their more experimental/eclectic offerings or IPA’s but can’t go wrong with their core offerings for something so widely available.

    Is this user error or just something with Apple.

    I prefer to talk on the phone with my airpods, but obviously don't keep them in all day. Whenever my phone rings, and I try to put it my airpods while it's ringing, the call drops/it doesn't transfer to my airpods/otherwise doesn't work. I always have to end or ignore the call, connect my airpods, and call the person back.

    My life is such a tremendous struggle sometimes it's impressive I can persevere.

    Iirc putting in the AirPods does not accept or cancel the call. It simply transfers the audio to the AirPods. So sounds like something is messing up for you.

    That's the thing - when the phone is not ringing and I put in airpods, it automatically transfers the audio. When the phone rings, and I put in the airpods while it's ringing, then answer, the audio is still on the phone. When I press the audio button to try to transfer the audio to by now-in airpods, the audio still doesn't transfer.

    i live in london. Sent a manila envelope with like 20 pieces of mail for my mom to post in the us, as it's much cheaper to do that than send separately. My sister received one of the notes inside the envelope today (which had no return address or postage), but my mom still hasn't received the larger envelope. No sign of the other pieces yet (tracking shows envelope arriving to chicago on sunday)

    What happened? Big envelope tore/broke and some mail worker said fuck it and sent the others along?

    I've tracked packages from the USPS and they often stall at one location for several days where you think it's basically fucked and not going to get delivered. Then suddenly it will get delivered with no updates to the tracking

    Do we have a tech nerd thread on here somewhere?

    Basically, we've always used OneDrive at work to share files (thought about switching to Google Drive, but they won't). We have a lot of people that are contractors, so they don't have a company email, etc., but just need links to various documents, organized in folders. Well, new tech guy is like, "OneDrive has a vulnerability when you share that way...we should not be sharing outside the organization." This is a small non-profit, no big assets, in short, no one is going to hit us with ransomware or something similar. I suggest we just move to Google Drive (boss would be fine with this).

    What does new tech guy do? Sign us up for fucking SharePoint. Ready to murder this dude.

    But you hit the nail on the head. We aren't really "corporate", so why are we being pushed into a more secure, but less useful platform? There's nothing remotely sensitive in these folders or even up the folder tree.

    We use Google Drive as a $11b company. It seems to work fine. They are moving us to OneDrive in this merger we are going through now but everyone from our company is talking about missing Google Drive.
