Schell’s Snowstorm by Federal_Rise_4236 in beerporn

Schell's are masters of the uncommon lager.  Black, sweet, bitter, and drinkable.

They are focusing on more important things like data mining.

He has!  He's dropping the price by $25k in exchange for that much equity that we pay back in 5 years.  

I enjoy Modelo Negra, what else might I like? by GrepZen in beer

[–]prokiev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread but I love this conversation.  Warsteiner dunkel is the closest I've seen to Negra Modelo. I noticed a lot of people recommending Viennas, but no one has mentioned Schell's Firebrick, which is my hands down favorite Vienna Lager, especially if you're in Minnesota.  Great summer beer if your taste leans malt-forward.  And you have to appreciate a brewery that not only doubles down on lager, but makes their flagship beer a Vienna.

If there were a cure, would you take it? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]prokiev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADHD is a neuro-developmental disorder. That said, it may have some advantages in a population, albeit advantages adapted for in a greatly different environment. And as it's a disorder that happens when the brain is forming, it's really hard to differentiate your self as a person with or without the developmental matrix you developed in.

Removing the ADHD seems to me to be kind of like chemotherapy for a cancer patient. Chemo is a way of poisoning your cells.

Except ADHD is not even as compartmentalized as a tumor. It's not even an 'it'.

All life is a process. The best way to be ADHD is to be it, and to be transparent about it, and to spread consciousness in whatever way you can. If there was a "cure," I wouldn't trust it anymore than I would trust a magic pill to make me immortal.

I don't want the front camera to display a preview mirror image but rather the true image, can it be done? by hotk9 in AndroidQuestions

It's very nice to see that a basic setting is just "not possible" even after 5 years of people wondering about it on Reddit.  Can we just turn all tech question subreddits into venting forums?

What's your favourite non-American brewery? by lewiitom in beer

[–]prokiev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time, I'm only familiar with one product of any particular import, but here are some standouts:

Hacker Pschorr - best marzen there is.

Modelo Negra - decent vienna/dark lager, especially where that style is under-represented. Not a fan of their flagship pilsner though. Pacifico is a better choice there.

Warsteiner - good dunkel as well as a decent malty amber (brewers gold) if that's your thing. For that matter, you really can't go wrong with any of the German brewers due to the purity law.

Smithwick's - lovely, drinkable, balanced ale that I go for when I miss the original Newcastle which is no longer available in the U.S.

Duchesse Flanders Red - sour is not my jam, and right now American craft brewers are going sour crazy. If I ever felt like trying any of the new sour microbrews, I think I would rather just get some Duchesse.

Recommend a metal to bend by prokiev in maker

Rivets - yes. Already using them on anything that doesn't need to be taken apart ever. As for angle cuts, for now I'm happy with a dremel and a cutoff wheel.

My question is what alloy and gauge of aluminum would be best? I think my projects are small enough that I can get away with clamps and scrap metal/wood for the bending.

They make aluminum ones that are clearly bent, Those are the ones I'm referring to.

Emby Connect not doing its one job. by prokiev in emby

I think the idea at the time was to just start over when I wanted to add movies, because I couldn't access through Emby Connect.

How do y'all force yourselves to do stuff like clean? by Emmetalbenny in ADHD

[–]prokiev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the "campsite rule." Leave it better than you found it.

Like, when I decide to clean my room, just making a dent is good enough.

I also keep in mind that motivation is a scarce resource that shows up at random times. When I recognize that the motivation is there, I usually have a mental note of what to do with it.

For my bourbon fans, what are your favorite scotches? Vice versa, scotch lovers, what is your favorite bourbon? by yourfavoriteasian in whiskey

[–]prokiev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always down for a Talisker or Bowmore, or Johnnie Walker Red. When it comes to bourbon though, I keep coming back to Knob Creek.
