#founders KBS is a BA classic that’s always worth coming back to. Chocolate, coffee, oak barrel notes, very nice!

More than 9 inches of snow overnight and of course the plows come through 10 minutes AFTER I cleared the driveway! A second tour of duty mid-day to get one car out on the roads.
KBS = Keep Back Stupid?
Keep Back Straight?
Know Before Snow?
Nah, since #itsAlwaysStoutSeason its #Founders KBS
Coffee, chocolate, oak, bourbon - what more could you want? An excellent standard BA stout.
A Team of Female #Founders Is Launching #CloudSecurity Tech That Could Overhaul #AI Protection
Cloud “container” defenses have inconsistencies that can give attackers too much access. A new company, #Edera , is taking on that challenge and the problem of the male-dominated #startup world.

What German tech founders want from the election: ‘I care less about getting rid of bureaucracy than stopping war’.
As Germany heads to the polls on Sunday 23 February, homegrown founders are upping their political activism, hoping to have some sway on the election results.
Hey hey it’s #stouturday and we’ve got fresh snow and warm temps - until we go into deep freeze next week.
Warming up with a #founders KBS. Their OG #barrelAged #stout, a nice balance of chocolate, coffee, oak,and bourbon notes. Let it warm!
The Defense Tech Newcomers,
Venture capital executives like
#Joe #Lonsdale are well positioned to profit in the second Trump administration
A founder of the A.I.-powered data analytics giant #Palantir Technologies, he has more recently delivered billions of dollars to defense sector start-ups such as #Anduril and #Epirus and #Saronic.
Executives at these defense technology firms have been frustrated at the slow pace of the Pentagon’s shift away from traditional contractors like Lockheed Martin
to venture-capital-backed start-ups selling cutting-edge tools like A.I.-powered drones.
“Current regulatory regime still favors the legacy defense corporations and crowds out upstarts,”
Mr. Lonsdale, who donated more than $1 million to Mr. Trump’s affiliated political groups,
said in an email to The New York Times.
#Trae #Stephens, another defense-tech venture capitalist and donor to Mr. Trump, said that the open question will be if the president-elect can limit turnover in leadership at the Pentagon, which was a problem during his first term.
“You need to have enough stability that someone can come in and take a leadership position and drive to a better outcome,”
Mr. Stephens, who works at #Founders #Fund and is a founder of #Anduril, said in an interview last week.
#Harold #Hamm, the billionaire founder of the Oklahoma-based oil and gas giant Continental Resources, donated more than $4 million to political groups that supported Mr. Trump.
Most of it came after Mr. Hamm and other oil-industry executives attended an April dinner at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s Florida residence and club,
where he pressed the executives to contribute to his campaign, suggesting they would save far more than that in avoided taxes and legal fees after he repealed environmental regulations.
More recently, Mr. Hamm has been part of Mr. Trump’s transition team, which is pushing to
eliminate a ban on new natural-gas export terminals
and to abolish the Biden-era tax credit on electric vehicles
— meaning more continued demand for oil and gas, as Reuters first reported last week.
“The mineral wealth of the U.S. government is tremendous, but you have to develop that,” Mr. Hamm said in an interview last week with an industry trade publication, Hart Energy. “Certainly, Trump will do that.” Mr. Hamm declined a request to comment.
Dark by 6:25pm, 34 degrees overnight, broke down and turned on the heat, fall is here! What’s that flavor?
#Founders #KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa #stout
A 2021 bottle, big cinnamon with a bourbon bite, chocolate notes, and the vanilla still gets lost in a pleasant tingly finish.

“According to a May 4, 2022 announcement, #Anduril and the #Australian military are "entering into commercial negotiations for a $100 million, co-funded design, development and manufacturing program for extra large autonomous undersea vehicles (#XLAUV s) for the Royal Australian Navy". [0]

@beersofmastodon after my wife fixated on the nuttiness I figured it out - this is what #founders Stay in Stout was trying to be but failed at. Hazelnut flavors done right…
In a KBS state of mind, polishing off the 2021’s with Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa
The cinnamon is still very forward and brings the bourbon heat. Vanilla and coffee are more subdued but still present. Snappy and sweet.

At the cider tasting yesterday I would have loved to put #woodchuckCider Blueberry side-by-side with #founders KBS Bluberry BA imperial stout.
Comparing a day apart, I have to side with the #stout! A fruity blueberry lead, rich full-bodied chocolate and vanilla with a hint of coffee and more tart on the finish.
The cider was lighter, but y’all know where my tastes lie by now
#itsAlwaysStoutSeason #barrelAged #craftBeer @beersofmastodon
People keep talking about “the Fair”. Which, damn it, means summer is over. So blueberry season is nigh!
#founders KBS Blueberry is tasty tart and barrel notes lead, blueberry full body with a sweet bourbon snappy finish.

“That’s why—in the face of increasing threats to America’s #democratic institutions—I am calling for 3 bold #reforms to restore #trust & #accountability to the court & our #democracy.
“1st, I am calling for a #ConstitutionalAmendment called… #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw…. It would make clear there is no #immunity for #crimes a fmr president committed while in office. I share our #Founders’ belief that the president’s #power is limited, not #absolute. We are a nation of laws—not of #kings or #dictators.
86 degrees and humid, gave the dog a bath and now out in the sun letting her dry
Accompanied by a #Founders KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa BA #stout (2021)
Lots of cinnamon and a bourbon start, vanilla and cocoa expand as it warms. Mildly sweet with light carbonation.
This is why my friends look at me funny on hot days while they sip a Coors Light…

The Court’s opinion presents an absurd paradox that defeats the purpose of a constitutional #democracy governed by the rule of #law. It has little basis in the #Constitution or in the words of the #Founders. It is the outcome that most benefits the Court’s preferred presidential candidate, while allowing the justices to live w/themselves for defacing beyond recognition the Constitution & the concept of democratic self-determination.
83 degrees and 80% humidity isn’t quite Blueberry season, but close enough! After all #itsAlwaysStoutSeason
Pay a visit a #Founders KBS Blueberry barrel-aged imperial stout. Wonderful tart blueberry finish with vanilla, chocolate, bourbon and coffee notes in a rich sweet body. Tasty!
“For tech CEOs, the dystopia is the point: ‘What’s the common denominator of Elon Musk’s cybertruck Blade Runner pitch/dystopia and Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse pitch/dystopia? That the presumed user or owner of the #product is the protagonist!’”
“By attaching the new product to a popular speculation, especially one with built-in dramatic tension, the #founders can elevate a buggy, unproven, or partially conceived technology into the cultural firmament, even if only briefly. It’s a cheat code, a way of getting us to relate to a future that’s already been culturally #prototyped,”

US-based startup #founders and #VentureCapital people:
Want to attract industry veterans away from their FAANG jobs? You know, the ones who have seen some shit and know how to productize and scale?
It ain’t promises of an “innovative environment” or some exotic new equity scheme that’s going to do it.
Your number one priority is a gold-plated Cadillac health care plan.
