You’re right about Newcastle. It was changed and brewed by Lagunitas for a while there. Everyone hated it. Imports from the UK started again a couple of months ago. It’s owned by Heineken, so you might be able to contact a distributor to find or request it. Sales were really slumping before the change so it might not have a super long life span with import costs. And yeah, people having more options have probably kept this one at bay for you. Same with Smithwicks. They are good beers but would need better sales to really become available to you.

What (h)gave it away?

The lack of humor, mostly

Are these beers no longer made or just not being imported? I’ve not seen many breweries give up on a reasonably popular beer for novelty. They just add to the lineup. Genuine curiosity on this one, if you have the names of any of the beers, I’ll check Untappd to see if it’s available to me.

No one in the US confuses pizza pockets for pizza. Pizza pockets are pizza flavored snacks. They took off because we had an entire generation if not generation and a half of latchkey kids who were coming home from school to an empty house.

We did however create Chicago style, New York style, California style and my favorite, Connecticut style pizzas that seem to be enjoyed the world over to my knowledge.

I love the staunch tradition that goes into German and Belgian beers. As well, the tradition in French wines and champagne. The makers and growers should be damned proud of their heritage because they nailed some shit. I think laws protecting or defining them are goofy and have kept tradition at the cost of experimenting. I love to see people in the UK buying backyard smokers and doing Texas style BBQ. I love that Guinness has remained true to itself and popular and don’t care for the Gonster myself but I love that they’re putting it out there. It’s just food. It’s okay to be playful in my opinion.

Are you German? The reason the US has been kicking ass in microbrews is because we don’t have beer purity laws. We can do some crazy shit. I absolutely hate sours. A lot of people enjoy them, I’m not going to complain about them being made. Because there are thirty other breweries in my town. Some breweries keep things tame and you always know what you’re going to get when you go there. Some have weekly small batch releases (those can get crazy) and if you’re adventurous, a fun place to try new things. Those breweries honestly brew for their own pleasure. If people like something, they’re happy but they’re making crazy things to try new profiles to expand the breadth of more mainstream beers.

If your imported beers aren’t available you might look to tariffs over the microbrew scene.

Oh, LazyLibrarian. I guess no one else could figure out how it works. I still try after updates… Nope. If it works, I just don’t understand it.

Fuck her and then say you’re trans. Only way to win.

Have you tried just explaining when you use jargon? If you don’t understand the term enough to explain it, I get it. That’s how I am with the laws of thermodynamics. But, no reason to be hostile about knowing the term and not the definition.

How did you install Jellyfin? Just like on a Windows/Mac/Linux machine? Docker?

The other device, is it on the same network and/or subnetwork as the Jellyfin install? It will not do remote connections out of the box.

Colbert Report version of Stephen Colbert would not be okay with this.

That drove me nuts almost instantly. Even watching it as a kid. I wanted the masks just not the commercial

After having some issues with TrueNAS killing containers after updates, I went to Unraid and have never been happier. TrueNAS file sharing permissions also never did make sense to me. I got them to work but never quite grok’d them. Unraid performs exactly like I’d expect. I hand rolled a NAS using Ubuntu way back in the day and didn’t have the desire to tinker on the NAS side of things too much.

On Unraid, I roll a larger xfs array for all of my media and large storage, then I have a two disk ZFS array for my more important documents and pictures. That gets archived up to the xfs array and my cache nvme drives have their own ZFS pool. I don’t gain a ton by doing this, it was just fun to set up and I feel reasonably secure with my personal data.

I also run a smaller, lower powered machine with Proxmox and I run Home Assistant on it. Mostly because of tinkering with hardware support in Home Assistant, I didn’t want it messing with my NAS needing restarts and such. But, Unraid is my workhorse. Day in, day out, it does exactly what I suspect with no surprises. I’ve had drives go bad and need replaced. I’ve had the whole machine just die and had to build a new machine. Unraid did exactly what I expected and needed every step of the way. The docker support is fantastic and super stable. Running multiples of the exact same container by duplicating and with only different port settings works great. I can’t say that for my independent docker installs without a bunch of tinkering on things I couldn’t seem to find enough about when I ran into issues.

I tinker on the things I enjoy. I do not enjoy having an unusable server. The anxiety is actually pretty insane for me. I would pay for Unraid many times over to get this combination of factors.

I’m all for sympathetic treatment. But, isn’t this how they promote accountability for others? Maybe this is the only way they learn anything. Otherwise, the next time a fascist is promising to hurt people they don’t like, they’re just going to trust them and vote then in again. And then we’re in a cycle. We’ve been building to it for decades now. What breaks that cycle? How do we get through to them? We can be better than them by not hunting them down and actively wanting harm. And by making sure they don’t starve to death as they lose everything. Some lessons need costs. I don’t know for certain that this is the way but compassion seems to come without memory.

I don’t know why the headline isn’t “Ain’t That a Peach: Bowser Loses Yet Another Kingdom”

It just needs time to fade away. I have reintroduced a bunch of stuff into my regular rotation that was overplayed all to shit. One of the benefits to being old. But, the biggest hit can still leave me cold. Second biggest is usually great. Run Around is still a banger, I feel. Hook maybe lesser these days. Same with BNL. Alcohol is fun as hell. In a 90’s frat boy vibe kind of way, admittedly.

Wow, there were two sides given by the OP but you somehow found a way to be wrong about both of them.

The FAQ is all about solving problems using chrome. It was probably the default browser at the time the code was written (is my uneducated guess). Unless it uses Chrome’s screen sharing, I wouldn’t think Chrome is needed. But, I just glanced at things, so don’t take that as gospel.
