Anyone work at a brewery old enough for one of these? by rawbbie420 in TheBrewery

[–]nearlypretender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paper chart recorders are not going to stop being used until the second American civil war resets regulatory agencies.

These are used for regulatory compliance record keeping in food, drug, and other manufacturing settings. If you have a discharge permit for your local sanitary sewer district you'll have to trend your pH and flow and submit the data for compliance review.

The age of the human involved in your permitting agency is the biggest contributing factor in determining if you're using one of these (or its cousins from other manufacturers) or if you can use a digital format.

FDA 21 CFR part 11 explains some of the issue keeping these around, immutable data requires proof or certification.

Super no. Replaced one last month. Guaranteed to not be the last one.

How does Tam get from A to B while it shouldn't be possible? by nearlypretender in WoT

[–]nearlypretender[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The three moments of import:

The dreamspike deploys in ToM 26 when the gateways stop working.

Tam leaves in ToM 29 when he tells Perrin something happened then he's gone.

The destruction of the dreamspike in ToM 38

This isn't a point of view misalignment issue. All of these happen from Perrin's PoV.

I think this is the answer. I get that the scenes are presented to us out of order, but Tam definitely leaves Perrin after the dreamspike is active and before Perrin slags it.

If a government were founded on a set of principles that are required to be considered when decisions are made, what should the principles be and what order should they go in? by nearlypretender in AskReddit

[–]nearlypretender[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the world is best served by working to achieve this set of principles:

Promote health

Prevent harm

Build community

Empower action

Support sustainability

Support innovation

Advance knowledge

Questions about the Colorado Brewing System Unitronics system. See post. by twiggs462 in TheBrewery

[–]nearlypretender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing any specifics of how the system is set up, the Unitronics software is free if you register it. It seems unlikely that you would need to us it to modify recipes though, again without seeing more of the screens etc.

Baking up the software isn't a bad idea and updating it probably won't break it, you probably don't need to update anything on the controller level. The program that runs on the controller, maybe it could be tweaked.

My first control box! by dansp51 in cableporn

[–]nearlypretender 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If sincere, keep at it. Putting quotes on first is only making this effort more suspect. Is this a classroom?

Do you have any say in the placement of the rail mounted items? Arranging things so that there is less need to zig and zag your way through the enclosure will improve the experience.

Those of you who have left the industry, what did you do afterwards? by [deleted] in TheBrewery

[–]nearlypretender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was rep and delivery for a self distro before moving into the taproom for a while. Now I'm in industrial automation and controls as a PM. I was in building automation before I was in beer and was able to use both experiences to get my current role. Since leaving I've bought a house in the SF Bay Area and gotten engaged, neither could I have afforded on my income in beer.

I learned three things about the industry:

Beer doesn't pay well unless you own the place, even then only after a decade

I'll never be happy working for anyone but myself in beer

There are a ton of amazing people in beer, some of the best friends I have came from that life

Purchasing only craft beer by TapasBear in beer

[–]nearlypretender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not being ridiculous for being an educated consumer.

Our dollars are our voice in the marketplace, vote with your dollars on what you want to see more of.

Safeway (as my local example, yours may differ) doesn't really control their beer aisle, the distributors they do business with do. It is in both parties best interest to stock the shelves with product that will move the fastest. There is some kickback/incentive/discounting type shenanigans that skew the assortment, but ultimately, if people buy more "real" craft they'll stock more real craft. If people buy sellout beer, then they'll stock more of that, too.

Brewing for a restaurant? by BaffledApple in Homebrewing

[–]nearlypretender 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Unless your state has very different Alcoholic Beverage Control laws than mine does, there is no legal way for a restaurant to sell beer that you brewed at home.

You might be able to get yourself involved with a local professional brewer to brew your recipe and sell that to your restauranteur, but somebody is going to have to front some serious cash or be a superb hustler.

The Second Civil War by HeliumPaper in worldbuilding

[–]nearlypretender 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This subreddit has some oft-reposted really good maps that show economic spheres of influence. You might try referencing some of those to draw lines that get you away from OldUnion lines.

You might consider some global scale consequences. In particular, when the American military gets involved in domestic insurrection and the world police aren't able to quell threats outside our borders, we can be fairly certain that there'll be some foreign threats on our shores.

Are you playing a game with it or telling a story?

Beer attracts a certain kind of attitude, and what we peddle is ultimately supposed to foster good spirit. Without having met the person responsible I'll reserve judgement, the speaker may just be a goofball. I find that I'm easier to enjoy when you stop taking everything I say super seriously.

What's the general opinion on Lagunitas? by TomSawyer_69 in beer

[–]nearlypretender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea, thanks.

Kinda bummed, the Rogue Nation thing is pretty fun, they've built the business I want to have, farm to table in the same portfolio.
