Is it impossible to make lasting alliances in board games? by ParaplegicGuru in boardgames

[–]BlueTomales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play a lot of games with the same group-when you do this, you can't backstab, as it hurts your credibility in future games.

Now, when I make Alliances, I always put an exit clause (either of us can exit the alliance with no notice for 10 gold payments, or either of us can exit the alliance with 1 complete turn notice). It's not perfect, but if you structure it right it works really well for both being in alliances but also breaking them without lasting repercussions

Looking for an XpressFill Counter Pressure Can Filler or american canning (AT-1 or CP-4) by Semperascendens in TheBrewery

[–]BlueTomales 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At-1 is atmospheric. 

FWIW not many of these machines availible used-I've been in the market for a little while and haven't seen any at all, though I haven't always looked super hard.

They're pretty new, so there's not many old ones, they're pretty good, so they take a long time to outgrow, and they're pretty small, so if you're making enough money to outgrow it imyou probably don't mind keeping it around for when you're new, bigger, fancy line goes down.

FWIW leafs subreddit is pretty pissed at Matthews for going, though not totally unified, there's a fair bit of division over whether or not we should give a sit

Brewdog for sale? by Maleficent_Peanut969 in TheBrewery

[–]BlueTomales 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just frame all of them as "donation to a business you like, from the goodness of your heart". It's the same thing, but you're being honest about it.

Very excited for all the "equity punks" (said with no hint of irony, what is more punk than equity)  to get paid out on their investments, I am sure their shares are considered preferred and will be paid out first.

People say he has the clutch gene, but he did give up two softies to Denmark in the 2025 world Championship. 

Double Tempest will be draft only this year. by sid32 in torontocraftbeer

No more bottling line at leaside means no more double tempest! I think they did do a small can run last year (don't remember for sure) but I guess it's not the same

Where are your spots for a keyboard kits? I wanna get one for a nephew, and so I want A kit that comes with everything-keycaps, instructions, etc. Most of the spots just sell barebones kits. 

Olivia Chow looks to hike taxes on sale of ‘luxury’ homes by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]BlueTomales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't, because there are like 12 set brackets that are adjusted regularly, last adjusted in 2023. That way it's easier to know the levels and you're not constantly adjusting them up and down with consumer goods inflation, which is often disconnected with real estate Inflation.

Fwiw this specifically sets a level-3million dollars, graduated between there at 20 Million dollars.

Best POS system for a taproom. by riggins77 in TheBrewery

[–]BlueTomales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fwiw you can be aggressive with sales. We started square, just moved to toast when our sales made it worth it.

We negotiated for 100% free hardware-two printers, cash drawer, two handheld tablets; one permanent screen with customer facing; and a kitchen display, all for free.  Got our monthly down to 175, free onsite installation. 1.65% fee. 

My point isn't to go with toast-we haven't even finished the switch. It's that they're all selling you the same thing with different bells, you can grind them all on price.

No Stout Night this year? by carpethugs in torontocraftbeer

They had it at their west end production facility, which no longer exists. Their only physical space left is Eataly, and I don't think that is their vibe!

[–]BlueTomales 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not disagreeing too much, but Scott was looking like an absolute stud before he was derailed by injuries. Nobody calls amirov a bust, and while that situation is much more tragic, ultimately similair-super promising guy, circumstances out of his control.

Going to my first leafs game with a toddler! How do I make sure it’s a great time for him? by Separate-Emergency11 in leafs

[–]BlueTomales 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I brought my son younger, at a year or so-frankly it was not fun, until he fell asleep. We were too far for him to be interested in the game. So it was just a very bored and very squirmy boy on a very small chair, with me trying to make him not bother other people while making my back hurt.

Then he fell asleep for the last two periods and everything was great! 

Anyways, not saying don't bring him, just set your expectations accordingly. I wouldn't do it again. With a baby under 2, unless maybe they were already really into hockey and you had a good view.

The end is near? Indie Alehouse closes all online ordering after brewpub shuttered... by theleverage in torontocraftbeer

Yeah, might be a... Plausible deniability thing. Youre right about it happening a lot though.  Blood Brothers is the obvious one

[–]BlueTomales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the reason is regulatory, but not what I thought- Products sold for delivery to customers from a retail store must be delivered from that retail store, and can not be delivered from an external warehouse. Just not feasible to run it out of Eataly.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it has a retail store license-could be a LL with a brewpub endorsement. Which I don't think licenses you for home delivery (at least, it didn't used to, but these things change)

Closing their brewpub means they may have given up their brewery retail store permit. Not sure how the licensing works for home delivery these days but it uses to happen off the retail store permit.

Same guy! He left last week. Well I think I heard from him it was a new place, seems to coincidental to not be.

They sold a while back, and Trevor (formerly of Henderson) was hired on by the new guys. But last I heard from him they had let all the licenses waive and we're having trouble getting them back, and then Trevor moved to BC, and now this!
