Sometimes I think about the future of self driving cars and how everyone I talk to about that future is like “okay but in an emergency we’ll be able to take back manual control, right?” and I usually placate them by saying, yeah, that’s totally how it’ll happen, but actually we’re already seeing the opposite. Cars with “self driving” features like steering and breaking that kick in and take control from the driver if the driver is about to rear end someone or is in a dangerous situation because the truth is computers can think faster and have better reflexes than us and I think about this going into the future and how if the self-driving cars are able to share their data with each other and learn from the driving experiences of every car on the road soon we’ll have cars that are so massively experienced at driving and avoiding accidents and making microsecond decisions and partial degree turns of the wheels and being so damn precise that automobile accidents will be almost unheard of and that’s when we’ll develop the most wasteful hilarious extreme sport in history where a single human driver will go up against an arena of ultra smart self driving cars and just by driving around recklessly try to coral them into crashing into each other and I tell you I would watch that sport all day.
Many breweries and distilleries have chosen to make the Dripping Springs area of Texas their home and you can now add Family Business Beer Company to that list! What’s making this one stand out to many Austinites, is the big Hollywood names behind it.
For the last 13 seasons, fans of the CW TV show, Supernatural have known Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester but now he can add something else to his resume. Brewery owner.
Jensen tells us he and his fellow actor and wife, Danneel, had been fans of home brewing for many years. It was an exceptionally good batch that made him think this could be a reality.
“That just kind of led to one night, like hey, were actually making some decent brew,” explained Jensen. “Why don’t we try to do something crazy and open a brewery.”
A fifth generation Texan, Jensen had visited the hill country numerous times.
With its beautiful landscape, breweries and wineries, Dripping Springs was the perfect fit.
“When we took a look at the landscape here and what was happening with Austin and its just a young vibrant progressive town that a lot of these craft man style industries are really flourishing here and we thought it would be a great idea to chase that dream,” said Jensen.
A dream that is now a reality.
Family Business Beer Company has been under construction since 2016. So far, 35 different beers have been experimented with but they hope to have six or seven as their regular staples.
“New York Times does not use Rita Moreno’s name, instead calls her “a guest.” Rita Moreno is one of 12 EGOTs in history – she has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.”
President Barack Obama presents the 2009 National Medal of Arts to Rita Moreno during a ceremony February 25, 2010 in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C.
Moreno was given the award “for her remarkable achievements on stage and screen. Her performances have served as touchstones to millions of Americans for whom she reflects their own passions, troubles, and joys.”

we opened at 11 this morning. i watched an old man literally pry the fucking sliding doors open at 10:43 and stand there just staring into the empty store and my coworker & i were like sir. for the love of fuck
I worked in a restaurant for while and a woman climbed past an A board sign, ignored the sign on a the door saying the opening times and trotted on in. When told we were not open she asked why the door was unlocked. My manager explained that it has to be unlocked when people are in the building to comply with fire regulations. Which lead to my favourite exchange with a customer: Woman: But there are no people in here. Manager: Madam. The staff count as people. Woman: That’s ridiculous. *Storms out*
