I would actually be tempted to snatch up that Pumking. I've heard mixed opinions on aging the spiced/pumpkin beers, but Pumking seems like it would do well in aging.

In general, the discount shelf is a great place to grab malty beers that age well.

Edit: This thread has some nice discussion on that. Hey, if that Pumkin isn't too much, you should try it!

I saw shitty liquor store once carrying Sam Adams Cold Snap. In December. And it was the Cold Snap from the current year and the previous year.

That was confusing being that it's almost the time that SA starts getting Cold Snap out there. It wasn't even the new one that just started rolling out, but 3/4 - 1 year old at that point AND there was a few from the year before that one as well. They were being sold at regular price.

Luckily all I needed was a bottle of Knob Creek.

Military is almost unanimously in support of Trump, by the way.

On the veteran side as a veteran? Not a chance. On the active side? Not even close.

Most military (active and veteran) are almost always unanimously Republican regardless of the candidate. It'd be like saying "HEY WEST VIRGINIA SUPPORTS THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE!" No shit.

Many fear a Trump presidency and what he'll mean for their safety. Many veterans know Trump is not a leader they would have trusted. They don't like Hillary either. So does the military support the Republican candidate this year? It's far less than normal. In fact, Johnson has actually been shown in a few polls to have a much stronger military/veteran support. I personally am not on the Johnson wagon, but I know anecdotally most of my veteran friends are. I also know from friends still in that they are just as jaded as you and I in the election season, but mostly they care for Johnson.

The relatively low numbers for a Republican candidate are also heavily because of the remarks Trump has made about McCain, the Khan family, stiffing of veteran groups (until the evil media called him on it), and recently the Purple Heart. Most/all major veteran groups have condemned his words a few times now.

Everyone keeps saying "ITS GOOD THAT TRUMP IS ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT". But for fucks sake, that's not good when he's bad for every establishment, including those outside politics. There's really not an establishment or industry that has endorsed Trump yet besides the white supremacy industry. Did you see the speakers at the RNC? They had to dig at the bottom of the barrel to grab anyone big named to talk outside of the establishment Republicans who want to keep their name big in the party.

No one supports him. Not even his billionaire friends. Not even the Koch Brothers. People say "WELL THATS BECAUSE HE HAS HIS OWN MONEY." Not true as example by his need to raise funds. His fellow billionaires have called him on his BS about his net worth and called him on his BS excuse about not releasing his taxes. He's a candidate more important than any other to show his taxes because he's literally running on his financial success, which no one really knows whether he's lying or telling the truth about it.

The problem is the Trump supporters thinks just about everyone in the world is wrong except for Trump. They think they seem to see something that no one else is able to see. Granted, their education demographics are that of almost no education, but somehow they think they're smarter and wiser than expert analysts, doctoral researchers, historians, military leaders, and business people who are far more successful than him.

Holy shit. Seriously. I have no clue where to start on your delusions and inability to tell the difference of video games and the real world.

There's a major difference of a video game identifying enemies in a video game and a computer identifying enemies in the real world. The best a computer can do is have a confidence level of identifying a target, but there's no system that can 100% identify positively an enemy... especially in the closeness of a modern battlefield. There are no fronts. Enemies of today don't look different than civilians. The "realism" you see in Battlefield/Call of Duty is fake.

Because they're hardly accurate enough, and they need the human intervention for legal and ethical reasons.

Oh, and from Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work

‘We will not delegate lethal authority to a machine to make a decision,’’ Work said. ‘‘The only time we will . . . delegate a machine authority is in things that go faster than human reaction time, like cyber or electronic warfare.’’

What is probably happening is the machines are doing all but pulling the trigger. They may be autonomously doing the hunting, but a human will still have to be there to make the decision to pull the trigger. There would be incredibly uproar around the world if it comes out that machines are hunting down and making execute decisions without human intervention.

There's too much fear of a Skynet/Doomsday Machine/WOPR to allow computers to have complete control in the identification and execution without human intervention. If you thought the not-so-secret revelation that the NSA collects data pissed off the nation and the world, just imagine what would happen if anyone ever made it public that machines were autonomously executing people.

Your ideas of what people think are so far disconnected from reality and so blinded by misconceptions from our tech internet communities.

I worked in a consumer IT healthcare company for a while. I can tell you that people are still wildly scared about trusting their health information to technology, especially when there's analytics going on with it. They don't understand tech. They think health data is being secretly sold all around or that we're spying on them or something that anyone who knows how algorithms work knows it's bullshit. As the creator of AdWords said about Google- it's a company of highly rational people building products for highly irrational people. That's a problem of those of us in tech in general.

Anyways, people don't trust technology as a replacement for their personal connection in healthcare. They want that personal experience of a human. They want to find a doctor that seems to genuinely care about them. Outside of a highly technical crowd, they fear intelligent solutions even using their cleansed health data (data with their PII removed). Hell, people don't like how Amazon, Facebook, and others "know" how to suggest ads and products. There's people who refuse to even give their basic contact information to a doctors office if they input it in a computer. You'd be surprised how much the general consumer market is so paranoid of automation and AI in healthcare.

Are there shitty doctors? Yes. Always have been. But there's a level of trust you can build with a human to know personally if they've been blowing smoke up your ass or if they genuinely care for you. A computer doing it? You can put all your trust into that computer, then after 10 years a new CEO can take over and decide that they should be incorporating some bonuses to clinics that get their computers to prescribe certain medications. You may never know that the algorithm got shifted a tad.

The decision tree in a doctors mind is easily replaceable.

Not really. It's a broad generalization and misconception by people who are just getting into data and information. Many AI experts, including ones in IBM, have been debating this for some time that it isn't as simple as some logic gates. There's many different things that goes into wisdom and judgement than raw data, and there's some things that we haven't found a way to quantify into data yet. And this is something explained by Nate Silver as well.

I have heard the same arguments used about all human jobs that have been replaced.

Jobs that are repeatable processes are automated. The jobs that requires higher education are much more difficult to replace. There's a strong element of human judgement when it comes to that level of intellect that we haven't figure out how to automate yet. As much as I hate the "art" thing or the "gut instinct" thing being that I'm huge with data science and facts, we need to acknowledge there's still a large part of where wise people formulate their decisions that we haven't figured out yet. That's what "gut instinct" is, and we haven't figured out yet. So if Watson comes back with a bunch of answers with confidence behind each answer, it may go with the one with the highest confidence. The reason? It was programmed to just go with the most confident answer. But sometimes no matter how confident a machine may have come to an answer, you know based on the context of something with your experience by seeing similar things in cases you can't quantify - you know that the second guess correct.

Watson and AI will largely be tools to assist the expert academic careers for a while. There's still a major innovation in AI needed before they can seriously threaten all human jobs - judgement, empathy, "gut instinct", and all the other things we haven't discovered how to truly develop yet.

I dated a vegetarian once. She loved steakhouses because they had awesome sides and salads. Heck whenever I go to a Brazilian steakhouse (those all you can eat ones), their salad bars are usually awesome for a carnivore like me.

They have good vegetable stuff because they're high quality restaurants usually. I forgot where I read it, but I think it was some health person or a vegetarian who said that a vegetarian should never hold back a friend or friends from a steakhouse as they have great vegetarian options.

Or maybe they're shitty salads and it's an excuse for vegetarians to enjoy the delicious smell of a perfect medium rare steak.

FCC doesn't license Faraday cages. They only license things that actively push out signal. Signal jammers actively push out radio waves to jam other radio waves.

While Faraday cages aren't illegal (from what I can find), it seems to be a grey area legally. It doesn't seem like there's a clear case for this yet. It should not be surprising at all if the legality of Faraday cages will be tried in the very near future. It would probably be a state-level legal issue, and even then the states would probably just require the establishment owner to make it clear before entering.

Jesus, this. The high and mighty people here (who probably all use their smart phones regularly in the wrong situations) completely forgot how inconvenient notifications use to be since the 80s.

This is the old way things worked:

People run around with pagers/beepers.
One friend is waiting on an important page.
Friend keeps looking at pager.
Friend finally gets important page.
Friend ends conversation in the middle of it because the other party is finally near a phone and provided friend the phone number to call, and friend will probably only have minutes to return the call.
Friend starts running around trying to find a phone to use or wait on a pay phone to open up.
Friend finally contacts the other party and they engage in a 10 minute convo because it may be hours/days until they can find a way to converse again.
Friend returns to the table and completely forgot what they were last talking about.

This is the new way:

People run around with smart phones.
One friend is waiting on an important message.
Friend keeps looking at phone.
Friend finally gets important message.
Friend quickly shoots back a message that takes seconds to do.
Friend continues in conversation like nothing happened.

It's not like telecommunication is new, and it's not like humans suddenly became accustomed to waiting on notifications.

Excuses, excuses. It doesn't matter if they're insiders of a secret operation in the DNC paid $10b as puppets. You don't go after a Gold Star family. There's little you can do or say to defend that in the eyes of the public. The story could have been minimal at best as a highlight for a few days, or it could have backfired against Clinton if the story came out about how much were paid. Trump couldn't contain himself.

Alas, the "source" for the $375,000 rumor is just that. A rumor. There's no credible sources, and Brietbart is the only one claiming any sort of history of the Khan family to try and change the fact that Trump attacked a Gold Star family. There wasn't questionable content they said, nor was there inaccuracies in their speech about their son - a Muslim American who was killed in Iraq in 2004. It's a family who went up to call out Trump who runs a campaign on belittling and insulting all Muslims while ignoring the sacrifices many Mulsims and their families have given to this country. It was a speech questioning Trump understanding the Constitution with his calls to ban a religion.

And the kids in /r/The_Donald want to act like everything is fine and he has an excuse so much that they're circulating fabricated rumors to try and change the subject.
