Topic | why are coffee nerds so insufferable |
Giant_Aspirin 03/03/23 12:44:06 PM #67 | AloneIBreak posted... Do a pour over in a V60 with freshly ground Ethiopian Yirgacheffe 3-5 days off the roast and youll understand. i've read that you're supposed to wait 10 days after roasting. the beans i buy have a "best after date" that's 10 days after roast. Revelation34 posted... I'm too lazy to grind coffee beans. Too much work and time. Instant is trash though. lazy? i just weigh mine out, pour them into the grinder and turn a dial. it takes about two seconds of actual effort. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: Cuphead DLC |

Giant_Aspirin 03/03/23 11:11:02 AM #45 | the moment he said "the poors", i stopped taking anything he said seriously. guy is an ass, just ignore him. washcloths are awesome because they actually scrub. its like a loofah but without the unnecessary plastic waste. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: Cuphead DLC |

Topic | what's the meaning behind "Stay Woke" with Freddy Krueger on it? |
Giant_Aspirin 03/01/23 4:53:13 PM #1 | there's a pickup truck in my neighborhood with this sticker on it and I'm struggling to understand what it means. my initial thought was that it's a right-wing way to criticize "woke" people. But that doesn't make sense because Freddy only kills people in their sleep, so staying awake, or "woke", would be the only way to stay safe. So is this saying you should remain woke, or you might die? or does this have nothing at all to do with politics or "wokeness"? it looks like this (can't direct link to the image, sorry) https://www.artistshot.com/freddy-krueger-stay-woke-license-plate-p-6322833 --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: Cuphead DLC |
Topic | I make $87k a year. Would I be stupid to rent a $1600 apartment? |
Giant_Aspirin 03/01/23 4:06:05 PM #9 | Gamingsince1989 posted... I was only paying $1300 a month for my mortgage while everyone else was paying anywhere from $200-1000 more than me per month for an apartment. good call, I forgot to mention that. when I got my mortgage in 2011, my payment was about $1100, while the average 2-bedroom townhome was renting for around $900. now the average 2-bedroom townhome is up to like $1400, or $300 more than my entire mortgage used to be. now my mortgage is $0 and the only reoccurring costs i have to live here are property taxes and maintenance. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: Cuphead DLC |
Topic | I make $87k a year. Would I be stupid to rent a $1600 apartment? |
Giant_Aspirin 03/01/23 3:55:05 PM #7 | consider keeping the apartment, and saving the difference for a future house down payment. owning a home will largely insulate you from ever rising housing costs. your landlord will raise your rent every single chance. think about how much you're gonna be paying for rent in 5 years, 10 years and again in 20 years. i'm sitting here with my house paid off while i see so many people struggle with rent going up every year. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: Cuphead DLC |
Topic | ''I love Rogue One'' = ''I loved the last 30 minutes of Rogue One'' |
Giant_Aspirin 03/01/23 3:21:01 PM #12 | the last 30 minutes was the worst part, IMO. every single person on the squad lives just long enough to fulfill their one, specific task and then are conveniently killed immediately after. it's like the most cliche "heist movie" script imaginable. and I thought the Vader scene was lazy fan service, it did nothing for me. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: Cuphead DLC |
Topic | Anyone used Airbnb? Share your experiences. |
Giant_Aspirin 03/01/23 12:19:29 PM #11 | i've had mostly good experiences with it. two times I booked a room months in advance, only to have the host cancel on me a few weeks before the event. that's never ever happened with a hotel. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: Cuphead DLC |

Topic | Who would you prefer: Trump or DeSantis? |
Giant_Aspirin 03/01/23 11:57:45 AM #14 | DeSantis is most of the crazy without as much of the stupid. Trump fucking sucks, but he's so self absorbed that it distracts him from actually governing too much. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: Cuphead DLC |

Topic | Is it possible for a woman to "mansplain"? |
Giant_Aspirin 02/24/23 10:03:22 PM #4 | i interpret 'mansplain' to be when a guy is condescending about something because the other party is a woman. so sure, change the roles around and it's definitely possible, and definitely happens. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: Cuphead DLC |

That was one of my favorites before going vegan but I've gotten used to various homemade workarounds. I probably won't buy it regularly but I plan to give it a try, if I can find it in my area. i will totally try this if it comes to my area. i saw a post on reddit about these and a few people mentioned alternatives. tempted to try but they're pricey. https://chompchocolate.com/products/nutpucks https://unrealsnacks.com/products/dark-chocolate-peanut-butter-cups-value-size-bags --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: Cuphead DLC |

Thank you for justifying me only knowing how to drag and drop in SSMS. for basic stuff, i don't blame you. I use JPA (Java annotations on Classes) to do as much of the SQL as I possibly can.

Giant_Aspirin 02/22/23 10:12:25 AM #9 | in my 20 years of doing software, i've learned that putting complex logic into your queries is almost always a bad idea. access your data in SQL, and implement your business logic with an actual programming language. if you find your queries are leveraging the pseudo-programming concepts found in SQL, it's probably best to re-think your design. --- I hope something good happens to you today Playing: Cuphead DLC |
