Besides this....Heineken is not the best beer we offer, despite it being a large company.

Something I learned after my time in Australia - the most popular foreign beers sold in the US are typically not even close to the best beers in their home country.

I still love how so many are all Whooooo Molson Canadian! And I try not to mention many Canadians avoid it, because, well, yeah.  It's not that great. 😛

Yeah, no Aussie I know drinks Foster's.

 

But I think that's pretty universal... people keep the good (at least to their own tastes) stuff for themselves and export the stuff they wouldn't touch with a barge pole.

Do they even make Foster's for local consumption anymore?

(I don't drink, so have no idea)

I was in Europe, but I learned the same thing.

Holy mackerel this random post is still going! 👏

Random: You hear about the guy that got a toy horse stuck in his throat? They took him to the doctor he’s in stable condition.

Gah. Got invited to our company’s additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing) strategy offsite meeting. 
 

In San Francisco. 
 

With only half day meetings so we can conveniently fly in that morning, have afternoon meetings, spend the night, then have morning meetings, and fly back home that afternoon.

 

It’s gutting. I love printing. But. Have an all day offsite meeting. Makes the travel so much less of a hassle.

Happy first day of spring!

Technically, it's at 5:28 or something tonight, but yah 20 of March is 1st day of spring.

 

Also it's my cousin's bday. She is the same age as me, so she is kinda of my closest cousin.

 

Local comic con was held over the weekend. I didn't go as I'm not that much into the comic side of the hobby but daughter is into cos-play & her homemade costume got her "Best in Show" so happy for her about that. She is becoming a pro at this, as last year at a Boise comic-con, she got like 2nd or 3rd place.

 Very convenient... If your flight is two hours or less:rolleyes:

 

 

 When I was doing Rocky Horror, I once drove fourteen hours down to West Virginia, spent about fourteen hours there, and then drove fourteen hours back home again...
