The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

Also, those super sweet root beer beers are pretty bad too. Mostly b/c they are way too sweet.

Also because root beer is disgusting. Don't @ me.

This is a forum, not twitter. We gonna @ the fuck out of you

But I will say that, while I don't hate root beer, a little generally goes a long way.

 

[AshburnerX]

I love wintergreen in general, so I've always been a fan of Rootbeer and I love seeking out small makers of it.

 

[Dirona]

Root beer is best beer.
Fight me!

I'll grant root beer is the best soda/pop/sweet cool drink.

Best beer, well no.

Yeah, that'd be Stella Artois.

 

[GasBandit]

My favorite beer is "cold."

 

[Bubble181]

Eww, no.

I have 10 beers better than Stella in my fridge right now.

I was trolling for a stronger reaction than that!

Eh, Stella is't horrible. At least you didn't say Stella NA.

When I still lived in Colorado, all my friends and I agreed that Coors Original was, hands down, the worst beer. We compared its taste to "chilled, bottled, chapped-ass sweat."

I took part in throwing an all campus party.

Some asshat was complaining about the beer we were serving. My friend replied, "It's cold, it's free, and it is in your cup."

Well, just so long as it isn't Coors Original. I'd complain about free Coors Original, too

 

[sixpackshaker]

It was either Natural Light or Milwaukee's Best Light.

Then he deserved the dressing down. I wouldn't buy Natty Light for myself, but free and cold is nothing to complain about.

 

[drawn_inward]

Well, you Americans can just hop on a plane and go to New York/LA/Houston/Florida. It's kind of similar

Oh, I see. It costs you 300 bucks to get on a train and go to Nice or Cologne? Nice try my fine-feathered friend.

 

[Gruebeard]

My bartender occasionally offers me a free pint of Coors Light or Bud that has been accidentally poured or not otherwise needed. I turn them down.

I think I'd need to actually be paid to drink that stuff.

Stella, too.

Ain't nothin wrong with Coors Light or Bud, ya beer snob.

(As long as they're cold)

Since Belgistan has huge variety available, what are the beers in your fridge. Budweiser better not be one of them.[DOUBLEPOST=1499449090,1499449041][/DOUBLEPOST]

I agree!

 

[sixpackshaker]

Bud Light is what I drink when I am out and the bar does not have good beer. But it is too sweet.

I like telling my bartender, "My doctor says I need to drink more water. I'll take a Bud Light."

 

[fade]

As much as I like the US and being American, all that stuff people generally call "American" beer is just gross. Yeah, that includes Coors Light, Bud Light, etc. even if they're free. That's not to say there aren't some great American beers out there. Those just aren't them.

 

[blotsfan]

I love a cold bud light on a hot day. I don't want it to be too heavy.

Though I admit I usually betray my country and order a Blue light if it's available.

 

[GasBandit]

I actually like that light beer is so "watery." Makes it more thirst quenching, IMO. Goes good with dinner.

I know @DarkAudit is a fan. I am sure others on here are too.

So, looking through my house and I can't find a PC power cable for the life of me. But going into closets long untouched for years, I have found some other noteworthy artifacts.

This book is 20 years old you guys.

And this hentai game is even older.

Note the "Windows 95" designation.

...how can you not have a PC power cable? Those things breed when left alone!

I KNOW

I got a sinking feeling I threw them all out when I was getting rid of stuff a few years ago. But hey, my office at work is still buried in them, it's just annoying to have to go back there to get one.

 

[DarkAudit]

Hey, @GasBandit. Does A&M or other uni local to you do surplus sales? I got this i7-3770 Optiplex for just $50 at the Pitt surplus store (WVU doesn't do surplus sales to the public ). Maybe you could upgrade the station network on the cheap and look like even more of a god than usual.

 

[PatrThom]

Hey, Intel's stagnancy means Ivy Bridge is still competitive with today's Kaby Lake. Even a 3770 is nothing to sneeze at, and for $50, even *I* would probably snap up a couple of them (my kid is still using a Socket 939 AM2 4400+ and Minecraft could really benefit from something a bit more modern).

Heh, I'm trying to get AWAY from XP machines! Maybe I should start putting linux on the older ones. But maaaan that's a lot of woooork.

But that said, I don't actually know if A&M does do surplus sales. I've not heard of one, despite living here almost 18 years now.

The Optiplexes I saw were all Windows 7 machines. If the school has a time limit (i.e. University of Utah sends all PCs to surplus after 5 years, regardless of condition), the XP days are long since over.

Found like 30 reams of paper under a tarp in the garage.

Think I will build a fort!

 

[Celt Z]

Now we know what happened to @GasBandit 's missing paper.
