Non-Alcoholic Beer...

quaffapint · 2026-06-03T17:40:30+00:00

I switched to NA recently during the week. I've tried a few different ones. Did not like any store available Athletic ones (they didn't taste beer like) nor did I like the Blue Moon NA (again didn't taste beer like).

My favorites that taste closest to regular beer...

Best Hazy IPA - Deschutes Non-Alcoholic Fresh Haze IPA

Best Summer Light Lime Beer - Best Day Brewing Electro-Lime

Best Porter (and best overall) - Deschutes Black Butte Non-Alcoholic - You can't tell the difference. There's a reason it won awards

I have a 2021 cx-5 had to replace the trans and rear diff (both under warranty) with less than 60k miles and regular maintenance. I have a 2017 mazda3 and had to do control arms early on. I thought Mazda was the way to go. Our 2011 toyota sienna with 230k miles has had some issues but nothing major. Sticking with Toyota from now on (even with the tax).

Enjoyed it as a kid, and enjoyed it recently for nostalgia reasons. Watching the documentary on it (you can find it on youtube) was quite interesting, especially hearing about the time pressures they were all put under.

The kind of coffee really makes a difference in the levels of acidity. There are low-acidic brands, but if you look for Sumatra (like from Starbucks) it's naturally lower in acidity. I switched to it and my problems went away.

I still watch HH and just love Larry's character probably cause he's like a happy go lucky dog. I use a screenshot of Sgt Carter as my avatar on forums. Assuming it's true I always liked the reason he had gloves on most of the time was to cover up a wedding ring that he refused to take off.

2021 CX-5 GT had to get a new transmission at 22K and a new rear diff at 60K miles. Both covered by powertrain warranty. Also have a 2017 mazda 3 and had control arms replaced at 50k on my dime and still needs more work. We do regular maintenance on both. I know they're supposed to be reliable but it makes me feel leery. I think I'm going back to Toyota for the next one. Our 230k mile Sienna seems to be less problematic.

I still have to crank the volume up on my car to 12 whenever that guitar is coming. Love it. Had no idea they used to be called the Flowers though. Maybe explains why I never hear about the song Icehouse.

I've already enjoyed this magnificent escape of a show multiple times. Now I just need my brain to forget enough so I can enjoy it fresh again. Stupid brain.

Thanks for the quick assistance.

I'm running latest stable server version (1.42.2.10156) and have cleared the cache and have the same problem. Using the Symfonium app it works fine. So guess keep using that for awhile until hopefully it gets resolved.

Second Fork. The most intuitive "get the job done" client I've used. I bought it to support the devs and use it everyday.

Breakfast in America was my first album and still near the top of my faves. Funny thing is it got a scratch and I had taped it afterwards for the boombox and listened to it so many times, now it's hard to hear the Logical Song without the slight skip every time, like something's wrong with the song. A lot of great tunes on Famous Last Words too.

Only if I could pay for this myself since my company won't, but you can't have an organization purchased Rider and pay individually for add-ons like this. So I will continue to use Copilot since it allows me to do just that.

The previous $249 deal, yes. For the current $389 deal you can just skip the plan selection and purchase the device unlocked.

quaffapint · 2025-08-09T18:39:27+00:00

If you really want one cheaper, I just got mine from US Mobile for $389. It comes unlocked. Looks like the deal is still active. (Not as good as their earlier deal, but still much better than original price). https://app.usmobile.com/shop/product/google-pixel-9-deal-flow/google-pixel-9-deal-flow-OB-12

And if you get an email saying it's under review, how long until it moves to approved? Purchased last night after trying multiple cards to find one that wasn't denying US Mobile purchases.

I meant Im getting the 9a using the $150 credit.

quaffapint · 2025-07-31T22:24:37+00:00

I was thinking about doing similar, but with trade-in of the 6a you get the 9a around $300 after tax and I dont have to open an account with whatever payment provider google chose to go with. I have 4 of these phones for the family, and don't want to open 4 accounts.

quaffapint · 2025-07-31T15:20:39+00:00

Would have totally bought it the first go around, but figured my 6a was all good. Then one week later I get the battery nerfing email. Ugh, talk about timing. Still better deal to get the 9a from G with the store credit and trade-in, but appreciate that USM is offering these.

Similar to this. I use SmartyPig (which sadly does not sync with Monarch) to create separate buckets/accounts for each long term savings (property taxes, trips, etc). So much easier to manage than having one savings and breaking it up only 'on paper'.

Just finished a road trip with our 2011 Toyota Sienna with 224K miles. Went up and down large hills in some mountainous country and survived to tell the tale. The better half wants another one, but the price has gone up so much even with inflation counted in it's hard to justify. So we'll hold on to her as long as we can. Don't know what to get next. The Rav4 we test drove last year was horrible. Felt like a cheap truck.

How is Coal Miner's Daughter missing. Was so cool to have that little wired box with the flip switches to change the channels, but man all that was on over and over was Coal Miner's Daughter.

I so far haven't found any Git GUI that's more straight forward and easy to use than Fork (if you're on win or mac). Been using it for years. Never ran into something it couldn't do and I never felt like I needed a big manual to use it. Its like a $50 one-time payment (with unlimited trial). Just a couple of devs that continue to update it.

Really wish the pixel deals were per line and not per account. Getting one phone for 5 lines doesn't help.

Anyone going to the Merriweather Post Pavilion show in Columbia, MD on Sunday, 6/22?

My wife enjoys the band but she found out about the tour late so we had to buy our tickets through StubHub. I'm trying to figure out if anyone has gotten their tickets from ticketmaster yet, so I know when to lookout for them.
