    I have to disagree with you that it’s not a form of payment. How many platforms offer a subscription model to go ad free? Ads are a revenue stream for any given platform. You either pay the platform with your money, or your time watching ads.

    If you disagree that you can’t pay for things with your time, then we will have to agree to disagree








  • No they can usually pass a continued resolution, which extends current funding levels for a specified amount of time. This usually gives them enough time to actually figure something out.

    Right now is different though. There is so much infighting in the GOP that the far right wingers are holding the House hostage. They put forth a bill today (or yesterday? ) that 20 of the GOP switched sides just to make it fail (not that it would have made it through the senate and Biden threaten veto at it anyway). Theyre wasting time, and it seems the extreme rights in the GOP aren’t cooperating because they want a shutdown.

    McCarthy has no control. He made too many concessions to become speaker, and now a vocal minority is essentially in control







  • Just because you drink them year round, doesnt mean most people do. They dont brew them in the summer because they cant sell them enough to make it profitable.

    You definitely have a point there about only having ipas at a brewery. IPA is the easiest beer to make, and the easiest beer to hide any imperfections. 1 of our 2 main breweries in town basically only does IPAs. Took them like 5 years until they did something that actually was good and not an IPA



  • I never had more time than living alone. Having a spouse and 2 kids is mayhem.

    The kids make the things you mentioned impossible. I’m up an hour before them to get the day going. Then it’s getting everyone together to get to work and daycare. Pick up kids from daycare after work, cook/have dinner, a little down time (like 30-60 minutes tops) which is spent with my kids, then it’s baths and bed time routine for both of them. At this point, it is somewhere between 8 and 9, depending on how bedtime went and you haven’t even cleaned up dinner or their lunch stuff. Now you can’t leave your kids alone in the house, so you can’t run any errands.

    If you have practice or activities after daycare, push everything back another hour or 2.

    It’s a lot to do, which is how I dont understand how single parents do it every single day. I can handle it for a week, but a lot of routine chores don’t happen. Things like a load of laundry goes in at 10p and I pass out and it sits wet until the next day.


  • Part of that is seasonal. You’re not going to get a stout in the summer, just like you’re not going to get an Oktoberfest in the spring or a Shandy in the winter. Like you said about IPAs, there are so many variations, they’ve become a year round beer. Other year round beers are things like lagers and ales. Comparing a seasonal style to a year round beer isn’t a fair comparison

    If you can’t find a stout on tap in the winter, you’re going to the wrong breweries
