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.

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.

Topicwhat'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)

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.

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.

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.

Hershey's is testing out a plant-based Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. 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.

Yes very sad. I met her a few times she was pretty awesome.

Yea Burger King is one of my go to fast food places. Along with Chipotle, Subway, Panda Express, Taco Bell.

Chic-Fil-A is a decent choice with the kale salad, waffle fries, and fruit cup but I don't usually go there unless my parent-in-laws want to go there.

Just about every other fast food place in the US is useless for vegan food.

Chipotle is my savior when I need a quick bite. do you have Bibibop near you? that place is fire and has great vegan choices.

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. Spring's Repository stuff is pretty wild and thanks to that, I can almost do a whole application without writing any SQL myself.

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.
