It seems the only intended bigotry was accusing me of it. I just had a hard time understanding folks in India & why Microsoft went all the way there for help?

Skynet becomes self-aware at 12:24 p.m. Eastern time, June 13th & launches its missiles against targets in Russia.
It's funny how I managed to get an East German beer to come out more like a saison the first couple months in bottles? And to think I wasn't even trying?...

Less funny just more truth. In Hawaii for a week and all the menu's point out where Kona brewing is truly made compared to the local selection stating the island they are made on.

The title of this article reminded me of the old (I think it was) Erik Idle joke: 'Why is American beer like sex in a canoe?' ... 'Because it's f*c!ing close to water!'
The article itself if actually reasonable and fairly well written....

Hey! Only we can say cracker! Ima let you say "cracka" cause you my boy tho.
Geez, I even said it was an old joke!
You try and help give an old ailing thread the Lazarus treatment, and all folks do is complain that the joke's not an original!
Well actually he was implying that joke has already been used on hbt not that it was an old joke... Nah just kidding
Sorry I don't have a actual funny story to share to put my HBT karma back on par
Me neither, I got nothin' atm...
SWMBO sent me to do laundry and hang it three hours ago... Well, so happen that the laundry line is along the way to my beer shed... And I ain't done yet... 3 hours later... View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1434339142.900066.jpg
I know I'm several days behind, but....
I'm an amateur/hobby photographer. No photographer worth his salt keeps all of his files in one location. My "good" images are saved on at least three different drives - the main drive in my computer, a backup image of the main drive made 3x a week on a 1TB external drive, and a third external drive where really important documents are copied to once or twice a month - and this drive is kept at my desk at work, in case something would happen to my house, and only brought home when something new needs to be added.
External hard drives are cheap. Ridiculously cheap. Like $100 will buy you enough drive space for a couple thousand books. How is it Microsoft Tech Support's fault that you fail to have a basic file management and data security plan? "I'm an author and homebrewer" ===> "Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on our part"

Well...? Where is it made???

Because it's judgement that defeats us.
Even an old joke would be welcome about now.
Edit: Another post snuck in before I sent. Good.

It is a CBA (Craft Beer Alliance) brand which is mostly owned by A-B InBev. It may be entirely owned by them, but I'm not 100% sure.
The other breweries licensed to produce the Kona brand are all located on the mainland in Oregon, Washing and New Hampshire.
But the main brewery is on the big island.

For one, my external drive software in the computer wasn't working right. The back up routine wanted to dominate it & wouldn't clear files from the folder after downloading to the drive. They couldn't get it to boot in order to do anything else. Even they admitted to that. So as soon as I get the W7 disc with the software needed, I can download the rest of the hard drive in order to wipe the disc & get everything working right again, so I can do normal save routines. It was that google galaxy download that started all this. I was finally getting file associations to work again too. Just had trouble with back up & all that. And it does constitute an emergency, or we wouldn't call for help. We can't afford to loose our files. And they should have all kinds of boot routines, etc on disc that they all use, shouldn't they?

Well, I'm on permanent vacation, so not too many worries here. What gets me most is how computers often do not what we want, but only what we tell it. And the one guy ota the group that preferred Bud Light Lime over the few home brew samples I passed around. His brother promptly gave him a brain duster. I tried hard not to laugh at that one, but didn't succeed very well. But before leaving, he wanted to discount my yard work for a case of mixed beers for his 4th of July bbq last year. WTF???
Hey, at least you tried. This guy was a lil slow compared to his brother, but I guess there's no accounting for taste, or knowledge of same. It can be rather amusing at the same time, though...

It's not about beer, but this one time, on a homebrewing forum in a thread that never stayed on topic, this one guy was actually shocked that a huge company outsourced tech support to a foreign country. And then was even more shocked when the tech wasn't dazzled when he told them he's a homebrewer and author.
Just tried to get the point across as to why I said, thank you no, I don't wanna get erased... Then the guy went on to bottle some beer, get ready to secondary another, while all the time writing paper notes till the bloody thing gets fixed.

1st off they are "fries" not "chips", just like it is "soda" not "pop".
Anyhow, if it isnt gravy, I have been putting a homemade jalapeno mustard on my fries, which was donated by a friend.
but I digress!
Back to beer.
over the weekend talking to a guy at a cookout. He indicated he never liked Guinness. Gave the usual foolish its too "thick, dark, taste like motor oil".
However he raved about being able to find bass ale on tap!

Frankly, tech support probably hears "but I don't want to lose my [photos/games/emails/homemade pornos]..." so much all day that
they get jaded and it doesn't even register with them anymore.
Once I can figure out a way to clean out quart motor oil jugs to the point I'd feel comfortable drinking from them, I'm bottling a stout in those things, just so the presentation can match the perception.

To a Northern Irishman like myself fries are multiple servings of "fry" consisting bacon, sausage, black pudding, fried tomato, fried mushroom, fried egg, fried soda bread and fried potato bread. Served with a mug of tea and eaten at breakfast my fries are a lot more exciting than yours, hence deep fried potatoes are chips. [emoji12]
