    Sadly, MS Still sucks

    I put your other thread, for this year, in this Chit Chat forum, also. Good luck with the effort, the definition of worthwhile.

    What book is on your nightstand? Readers!

    Am about 2/3's through it, was a Christmas present from one of my sons. There's a lot here, plus its 600ish pages, but generally presented in an interesting way. My take-away, as it almost always is with these kinds of histories, is how horribly brutal and war-like western civilization has...

    Prose, Music & Beer

    I've posted about using our hobby to do good before, This autumn and winter, I think a lot of us are feeling a little isolated and in need of some community. Since September, I've organized an every-other-month online event featuring some spoken word and music, and I've distributed beer...

    The "Dear" , "Sincerely" thread

    @jschein So sorry to hear about your brother's death. Thanks for your work at the hospital, I saw an article in the Guardian yesterday that 3,000 healthcare workers in the US have died due to the pandemic, its a literal tragedy. No need to apologize for being in a horrible situation. I'm in...

    Covid Sucks

    I've stopped going to the grocery store at this point. My local store has online ordering and delivery and it works pretty well. This summer, we moved my father in law in with us and then had family dinners outside on our back porch, with our adult children and their spouses, great memories...

    That's scary. You still have symptoms this many months later?

    Hey HBTers - 1 Month Planned Absence Turned Into 3 Months

    Hi HBT friends, I had planned a one month absence from HBT back in mid August, but that turned into three months when we had a death in our household - my FIL died peacefully in his sleep, about three months after we moved him in with us, after my MIL died in May. In any case, the general tumult...

    Sense of Impending Dread and Doom

    Yes, nice bottle openers. They look pretty much like the photo, maybe the finish isn't rubbed to quite as nice a sheen LOL.

    Sense of Impending Dread and Doom

    So, from the etsy website, here is a photo of the handmade, hardwood openers I ordered as gifts for judges at the Chicago Cup: We're doing a limited entry/style competition, with judging in judges homes and partnering via zoom/facetime/phone. Limited backroom operations. Medal round panel...

    Sense of Impending Dread and Doom

    I bought some cool judge gifts for an upcoming competition, handmade from a guy on Etsy. Asked him to ship them via UPS (which for my locale seldom fails me). Got notification this morning that he shipped them USPS. Two weeks ago, I went five days without a scrap of paper being delivered to...

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    Huh, this conversation is making me look around now. I was just at the Walgreens near us (Roosevelt and Canal for Chicago-ites) and they have two charging stations in their parking lot.

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    If folks want to get back on topic . . . . The limiting factor for us in purchasing an electric car is that we live in a multi-unit building in Chicago and our parking area has no charging. I'm not aware of any quick charging public options.

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    It seems like you shouldn't have to say this, but telling moderators to go **** themselves is unwise if you enjoy posting here LOL. People continue to amaze, everyday . . . .

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    Jesus H. on Toast, how many posts does another moderator have to delete before you stop posting political posts here? The next political post earns the poster a vacation from HBT. Not joking.

    Brewing book ideas?

    I like two of Randy Mother's books - Radical Brewing and Tasting Beer. I also enjoyed Garret Oliver's The Brewmaster's Table.
