  1. I'm going to guess Enterprise C? Or whatever class of starship the C was?
  2. I've revised my review to be more specific by adding "if you don't like real Bud, skip this one".
  3. Beer Name: Athletic Brewing Upside Dawn, Athletic Brewing Run Wild Notes: This brand makes (I think) six different NA beers, and I've tried two. I want to try all six. What I think: The Upside Down is a pilsner, and it's pretty good. Not watery and very hoppy. Much more flavor than the Budweiser. However, the aftertaste isn't pleasant. Bitter. Run Wild is an IPA and it's very good. Nice flavor. I like it. Rating: Upside Dawn 🍺🍺 2 out of 5 Run Wild 🍺🍺🍺 3 out of 5
  4. Thank you for sharing those tips, @Doug.dryerlint17
  5. I was going to invest, but I found this bootleg version for $24.99. It's very refreshing!

  8. Next up is this one, which was a huge surprise. Beer Name: Budweiser Zero Notes: I scoffed at buying this, as it only comes in boxes of 12. I just assumed it would be terrible. Of note, I got this whole idea of trying NA beer from "Men's Health" magazine, and they actually rated this one best. What I think: This has been my favorite one so far. It tastes exactly like real Budweiser. Not watery at all. If you like a plain old American pilsner, get this one. My wife concurs with me and grabs one of these when we have pizza. She dislikes all of the others I've tried. If you are new to NA beer, you cannot go wrong with this one. (If you don't like American pilsner beers like Bud, skip this one). Rating: 🍺🍺🍺🍺 out of 5 (4)
  9. I think we have Beck's here too, and I will try it sometime. As far as a soda alternative, I've found the NA beer to be really refreshing and "different". I've even thought about showing up to a work zoom meeting with a tall frosty glass, but it would be hard to convince people it was non-alcoholic!
  10. Beer Name: Clausthaler Original NA Notes: Pale golden lager. Made in Germany What I think: It doesn't taste watered down at all. Very strong flavor, but more bitter than sweet. I'm no expert, but I'd call it "malty" and dry. I don't think I'd buy it again. Cool looking bottle, though. Rating: 🍺🍺 1/2 out of 5 steins. (2.5)
  11. Non-alcoholic beer. What's the point, right? I've been working from home exclusively for the last year now. I've given up soda. And I've gotten tired of plain water or iced tea at lunchtime, so I thought I'd give NA beer a shot. I'll post reviews of what I've tried so far here, and give them a 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 stein rating (out of 5). The basic review template: Beer Name: Notes: What I think: Rating:
  12. That one debtor that gets $100 per console is probably the straw that broke the camels back. There is simply no way to make money on this project. Debts are too large. Maybe those folks that bought the boxed software will have a valuable collector item in the future.
  13. Are you going to go? I'm having a lot of internal debate about whether to go to any more shows and swap meets (the next swap meet in Portland is March 5-6). While it is fun to see people and stuff, I really want to avoid buying anything. Plus it costs $10 to get in.
  14. I was just given a Samsung DVD/VHS combo unit that was "broken". Indeed, the DVD drive no longer works, but the VCR portion was just fine. I cleaned it up on the inside and it was good as new. Honestly, one of the nicest VHS units I've seen with a really nice crisp picture and auto-tracking that works perfectly. After the refurbishment, I gave it away on the local "Buy Nothing" group to a lady who had her wedding video on VHS but no VCR. Win-win.
  15. Alexander's Speak-n-Spell has floppy drives!
  16. What is the key combo used to kick (punt or field goal)?
  17. Oh man, that is wild. If only we knew at the time what was going to happen.
  18. If true, this is good news. I'm sure they wish they were at 100% for both and maybe this is why they changed gears on CEO.
  19. Yikes! Not to get stuck on price or anything. Perhaps it will be worth it. Who knows? As usual, wait and see is my attitude
  20. Take out the papers and the trash If you ain't got no spending cash....
  21. And here's an old-timey photo of the falls from 1918
