Of course there are jobs for brewers, but often not attractive at all - low pay, manual labor, shift work and the most important thing: super boring in middle of nowhere places without proper nature or big city lights :) spending work time most be fulfilling

As I am looking for work ("back to producing great beer, together with great people, getting a fair income"), I must say it seems the job market for brewers is empty across Europe. wonder if the same goes for US/CA, as I heard Brazil, West and East Asia, and the Pacific regions are still bumping?

Kein Bock, als ALG1-Empfänger 60 € für das Deutschlandticket vom sehr limitierten Einkommen raushauen zu müssen, aber trotzdem dem Arbeitsmarkt "mobil zur Verfügung" zu stehen. Das heißt, theoretisch jede Scheiß Fahrt zu Interviews, Kursen etc., einzeln auf dem Amt abzurechnen! Bürokratie!

New from 404 Media: the FBI was able to extract incoming Signal messages from a phone even though the app was deleted. Why? Because parts of messages were stored in the iPhone's internal notification database. Shows how secure chat data can come from unexpected places www.404media.co/fbi-extracts...
