Fair enough. But... beware taxonomists.

Like, with wine - all the language around wine flavors and characteristics beyond the most basic can be demonstrated to be, well, hogwash. In a blind test, a given taster will often attribute highly different characteristics to the same wine on different tastings.

Taxonomies based on such, then, are not of practical value, as they are not dependable.

I use them--in beer--mainly so I know what the brewer was trying to do. Or at least I can narrow the range some.

This I will not argue with. My wife just found someone to send a dozen Timmerman's to us in the the US. No idea what she paid, I don't want to know.

The fact there is a gray market for beer is deeply amusing to me. Technically, two of them, I guess: stuff people import, and arguably the whole beer-trading thing with so much beer being so local.

My OSE group sort of told me that they are not into OSE? Specifically xp-for-gold, dangerous environments, simple character options. All things I love! I'm very disappointed. But then I read the one dnd playtest, and as my eyes glazed over in boredom, I vowed not to run that game again.

The two times I've had this, it was delicious. Hard to get where I live in the US.

If only it were possible for D&D designers to capture that kind of character with it's ______ class. But it's impossible with D&D mechanics :-(

::: Previous editions of D&D, Pathfinder 1e, A5e, a mountain or 3P stuff all apparently illusions blowing away in the wind ::::

Scenes from Tasha's Pizzeria of Everything
Act II, Scene V

Tasha's: Welcome to Tasha's Pizzeria of Everything! What would you like today?
Customer: Nothing. The previous pizzeria was better than this one.
Tasha's: Um, sorry?
Customer: Completely better in every way. Better crust, better sauce, I can't believe they closed.
Tasha's: This is a completely different pizzeria now.
Customer: Better prices, too. The menus were printed on better-quality cardstock.
Tasha's: That pizzeria is long gone, and it's not coming back. I can't do anything about that.
Customer: It even had better furniture too. It was just better in every way, lots of people say so.
Tasha's: Why are you telling me all of this?
Customer: Are you kidding? I'm telling everyone who will listen!

"exhaustion," indeed

I literally would prefer discussing politics at Thanksgiving dinner than beer with anyone.

You have complete control over the clarity and intent of your writing

I don't know who this "you" is but as someone who taught writing for a decade, I haven't met them.

As in really not liking beer, really liking politics with family, or really not liking sitting with people having a beer?
