American, but I enjoy beer and have tried hundreds. I tend to like sweeter or richer Belgian and German ales the most. Things like König Ludwig, Tripel Karmeliet, Augustiner, Weihenstephaner, Ayinger, Paulaner, and St. Bernardus will always top my list.

If you like those, here are some US recommendations that are also damn good. Note, some of these are quite regional.

• Tröeg’s - Mad Elf
• Fat Heads - Alpenglow
• Boulevard - Bourbon Barrel Quad
• Royal Docks - VLAD
• Dark Horse - Scotty Karate
• Descutes - The Abyss
• Fat Heads - Goggle Fogger
• Sierra Nevada - Kellerweiss
• Terrestrial - Blue Dream
• Thirsty Dog - Irish Setter Red
• Penn Brewery - Penn Weizen
• Ommegang - Manhattan Shine
• Sibling Revelry - Lavender Wit
• Ithaca - Apricot Wheat

Also, shoutout to almost anything by Unibroue - They’re from Montreal, but hey that’s not Europe.

What were some of the things that nibbled away at ya?

Probably Grontar: The Frutang, circa 2003.

Darmok and Jalad, at Tangara?

Wood Science must be a rather strange field.

1 mL of pure water weighs exactly 1 g at 20 °C and 1 atm pressure :) It’s a defined standard, useful for calibrating other things.

1 mL. Studying chemistry has made that extremely useful and now other units seem ridiculous.

If we’re talking about geology or oceanography though, cubic meters are fine.

I don’t know a lot of card games, but I thought the row system was neat in Gwent (i.e. frontline, middle, backline).

I also like the aura enchantments in Magic: The Gathering. They tend to change up the battlefield in interesting ways.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

You honestly read the article and still felt that way?

When the walls slouched

This is every cancer victim news story (at least in the US), just with gorilla-related stuff substituted in.

But what if I love paying 1 million dollars to license outdated software? 🤡

Because the real asshole money hoarders don’t make a big income and store their funds as wealth and are living off interest.

Still, this would be a step in the right direction and as others said, some places do it.

This, or throwing knives.

Or double health with remote mines.

Remember how you could all run out of ammo and the deathmatch would devolve into a slappy fight?

Egad, I read about that but forgot. Now that you mention, I’m sure that’s how the idea popped in my head. How awful 😞 Now I almost feel bad for joking about it.

The audience HAS to actively listen to it? Like no talking over it and no interrupting with other noise?

I like this. Finally some peace and quiet.
