They (Ommegane) are also working to bring hops production back to NY.
After prohibition, hops pretty much died off in NY, but NY was the number one producer before hand.
Now it's imported, and often taste worse because of the travel that the crop has to endure.

I know several hop growers in NY. Pretty sure that @coliver is somehow involved in some. We have friends with a brewery in the Rochester area that grow their own as well.
Hops have already come back pretty hard and, in fact, NY requires that beer makers use a certain percentage of NY hops and it is causing beer production problems because NY can't make enough hops fast enough.

It's probably the same here and over at your place: The small breweries are great, everything else is just mass production...
And planting hops locally isn't that bad, could create some jobs and you won't have to import as much.

Oh it's good. Although NY agriculture is already so big that it's hard for it to grow. Anything grown just displaces something else.

Ommegane is local to the Rochester region, they have some really awesome beers. They also have a beer coming out that is some how in conjunction with Game of Thrones (I heard this on the news this morning)
Close, Cooperstown. We hit that brewery up every few months.

On the phone with tier 1 Comcast Business support, for problems not on their network. Traceroute stops responding either at their network edge, or somewhere along the line at AT&T. Can't process payments right now

Yep, we're growing hops on our family farm. Nightlothops.com

The rules regarding hops is going to make brewing in New York very difficult until supply matches demand. We've been inundated with calls and emails from pub and microbreweries looking for hops.
-
So what... You guys aren't allowed to grow enough? Or can you simply not grow them fast enough?

Well, that's good for you guys for the time being.

Can't grow them fast enough. Not enough farms have the skills, seeds, experience or excess space to meet the already existing demand.

As a farmer, it is good. As a state it is bad as businesses can't open or continue to produce.

I am not seeing this issue.

You know this feeling when you play that last RTS campaign mission (CC Generals here), survived the initial onslaught, built up your army of paladin and overlord tanks with bunkers, snipers, rocket launchers and a few more overlords with speaker towers and just want to save before you do something stupid? When you just smile because you just know you'll hit the GLA real hard, with nothing to worry about?
EXPECT WHEN YOU HIT LOAD INSTEAD OF SAVE?

Solution : Read twice, save once, backup twice.

@DustinB3403 The load/save dialog is a bit odd. When you double click an existing savegame, it actually loads that savegame. You need to mark one and click "save" on the bottom of the dialog.

That is what I would expect, double-click opens.
Just like on Windows by default. Double click opens the application / file / folder.

As a developer, you can never predict exactly how someone is thinking about this. Like us two, whole different views.
That's why we're seeing small armies of UI designers and even serious psychology studies about how to design an UI (at least in avionics). Why is there a red light? Warning? Drawing attention? Does red mean the same in the eastern hemisphere?

Red means land the plane NOW, before the plane decides to "land" its self.
