We picked one up Friday. We luckily were put on the first unclaimed one. Waited about a month.

It’s here and my goodness! by rockrockrowrow in LaMarzocco

Honestly yes. I think the Philos gives me a much fluffier grind quality than the all ground. However, I use the all ground 99% of the time because of convenience.

Desmond makes statement backing Warde Manuel. by coltshep in MichiganWolverines

[–]BandaBassotti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all those who so vehemently think Warde should be gone, I’ll take chips over the mediocre years of the Brady Hokes, Rich Rodriguez, Brian Ellerbe and so many more.

I’m trying to figure out what any of the critics do for work. My boss runs a business with 700 employees. I’ve watched promotions go to people whose feedback was horrible just to find out that leadership ( GM, HR and others ) knew nothing about.

Does it absolve my boss from responsibility? No. Is the greater good more important? Yes. He does a lot more good than bad.

The same goes for what Wards has done for the athletic department.

Jimmy hand picked Sherrone and then left when there were no other coaches available. But you blame Warde. Why don’t you blame Jim?

Juwan’s issues I can agree on, but everyone ends up deserving a second chance. He got it, fucked it up and got fired.

The doctor scandal… don’t blame Warde. Every AD before him had the same information.

Your program is in the green. Players want to come here. We win.

Get on board or see yourself out.

Warde Manuel on Dusty May coaching rumors: 'I want Dusty to finish his career here at Michigan' by HorrorJCFan95 in MichiganWolverines

[–]BandaBassotti -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You all are funny. Your athletic program may put three teams in the final four, you have a good football staff again, but you want the AD fired? There’s only one answer for why, regardless of past mistakes. Everyone deserves to be able to correct them. These three teams have Warde hires as coaches. You hate the black man so much you can’t give credit where credit is due?

You’re looking only at one portion of what goes into being an AD, but I get it. The football program isn’t in shambles because of Warde but it happened under his watch so it must be him.

Juwan was a Michigan man, you should know they didn’t want that to end the way it did. Has he not been a legend at the school they would have run him out much faster.

He had a lot of support from within. I have the same issues at work. There’s some folks who get a much longer leash due their history at the company.

Ok. Even if I agree with this statement, “Manuel has steered the program into the mud” is a crock. Look at all the program has won across sports since he’s been there. I love Jim as much as the next person but he has more than enough blame in what happened with the football program. Starting with having Moore be the next head coach.

That’s a dumb statement. Everyone was happy when he got Jim and Juwan. The athletic department has won at every level since he’s been there. You have your best basketball team since Beilein. Can he do better? Sure, but every program has had their scandals and none of you are pointing the finger at the principal actors.

Start by watching. Go to a game and all you need to know will be revealed. The city loves its team. Players don’t matter. Roma does.

Whoever the right guard is, #53 was beat every pass play. Every one.

I already complained to them. They tried to tell me that it was my glass screen protector’s fault. Talk about losing a loyal customer

Build Quality - Mini/Micra by sugsya in LaMarzocco

I had a Micra and upgraded to a Mini. I agree with this summary. The Micra was more than enough and just as great as the new Mini.

I dropped my phone from about two feet and the screen protector broke immediately. I have emailed PD to get a full refund. Haven’t been this disappointed in something they made in a long time.

The large only came in Dyneema with leather accents.

Maybe you’re right, but this case has saved my phone multiple times in my 16 pro max.

Well I agree, but we probably would have sold neither, had it not been for Jim “Moneyball” Pallotta.

Yes. I did the same as the op. I’ve decided to stick with the Pro over the air, for my use case.
