    If a team can be out of the pennant race in March, it's the Ms.

    I have still never had a fresh Pliny. I had a friend who picked up a couple for others at the brewery last year and posted it on fb. By the time I could tell him I'd like one, too, he was already about 20-30 miles away.

    I am calling on our Cali friends to ensure this is corrected this round. I will cover all beer costs/shipping costs. Let's hit @woema with a fresh Pliny howitzer. He's one of us.

    Hint #4: The number of characters in my target's BA username is a Motzkin number.

    Out. Dang it!
    Actually not because of Motzkin, his previous hints excluded me. This one doesn’t.
    For what that’s worth to anyone.:wink:

    So, this was a super simple concept, but actually making the chart nearly killed my poor little 'puter. Over 1,000,000 cells in a spreadsheet to make this:
    [​IMG]

    Everyone's rDevs, summed over time, day by day. People who have a tendency to rate lower than the average will of course see their line dive down (lookin' at you, @BBThunderbolt), and people who have a tendency to rate higher will see the opposite (pretty sure that's you, @superspak), visibility will be drastically increased if you're consistently on one side of the average and you review a lot.

    I think I'm going to try and do a similar one with average rDev, but...my poor little 'puter! Maybe I should wait until I can get to my desktop.

    Hilarious opening scene. Great home defense strategy, keeping an electric hedge trimmer handy. Smart old bird. :rofl:

    That leaves a surprising number of people still in.

    I still check dates on Pliny bottles on the regular for you. However, it's getting harder and harder to find stuff that isn't a couple weeks old now that RR has expanded production. It used to be I'd get to Whole Foods right after the RR driver was there, and the bottles would be 1-2 days old. Now it's just not like that. :slight_frown: I'll keep looking though. If I end up going to the brewery for PtY in the next week or so, I'll see if I can pester them for a fresh bottle or 3. :slight_smile:
