Vaughn is drinking a Foreteller by There Does Not Exist (Untappd)

Surprisingly roasty. I'm usually pretty meh about black lagers but this one has nice flavor and a little more body.

I am drinking Foreteller by There Does Not Exist at Untappd at Home in .

Name: Foreteller
Brewery: There Does Not Exist
Style: Lager – Dark
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 5.1%
IBU: 0
Brewer’s Notes: Foreteller is a black lager brewed with soft water, German malt & hops, time, and our beloved, all seeing lager yeast. A base of pilsner malt sets the stage for a sprinkling of various highly kilned, and roasted, specialty malts. The combination of these raw materials yield a beer that is black in color, with tinges of ruby red around the edges of your glass, and flavors + aromas of baking chocolate, smoke, and a hint of cola. Just like a premonition, these all vanish quickly, and yield to a dry finish that keeps your face in your glass.

Untappd.

Vaughn is drinking a Guinness Draught by Guinness (Untappd)

Vaughn checked-in on Untappd

I am drinking Guinness Draught by Guinness at The Duke of Edinburgh in Cupertino.

Name: Guinness Draught
Brewery: Guinness
Style: Stout – Irish Dry
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 4.2%
IBU: 45
Brewer’s Notes: Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm. Settle. Breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward.

Unmistakeably GUINNESS, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between.

Pure beauty. Pure GUINNESS.

Guinness Draught is sold in kegs, widget cans, and bottles. The ABV varies from 4.1 to 4.3%.

Guinness Extra Cold is the exact same beer only served through a super cooler at 3.5 °C

Untappd.

Folks remembering #AaronSwartz today – remember that he was moving publicly-funded research out from behind a paywall.

Then remember the only reason the case went forward is because federal prosecutors, specifically Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann, wanted to make an example of him.

“Theft is theft, and it doesn’t matter if you use a crowbar or a computer” were Heymann’s words at the time.

Notice how federal prosecutors aren’t bullying Sam Altman for the wholesale theft of content network-wide, to build a machine that spews bullshit and further destroys our ability to determine the truth?

It’s because he’s doing it for private profit, while Aaron worked for the public good.

Never let yourself be tricked into believing the legal system is a justice system.
