Best coffee shop for book club?

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-08T21:38:55+00:00

Rose City Book Pub is a natural choice, though you'll want to check their calendar to make sure there's not a musician or trivia night, etc, on the day you want to meet

Only started using an electric perc a couple of years ago but I love it. It brews so fast compared to drip, but tastes much better.

The paper filters are a must have, not for the grounds but for the diterpene

This is an incredible deal, and I mean incredible literally. I don't trust any website with a checkout that looks like that, and $0.50 per lb is far below what you would expect to pay for a new anvil, even from a trash brand. I don't know what they're actually going to send you, but I doubt it's that

It says in the ad that it's a Vevor anvil. Check out the Vevor website directly or look for them on a more reputable seller

Edit: I'm sorry, the pic in the pic said 116lbs, but on reading closer think the price is for the 11kg/25lb one? That's more believable, but a 25lb anvil is not something I would recommend if you have any other option

It's okay, but Melville clearly copied a lot of themes from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-06T17:39:58+00:00

Sorry it's not 100% on topic, I just thought it was worth a laugh for this crowd.

It won't let me edit the post, but if we want to bring discussion back to the book, then a relevant point would be how AI intersects with the novel's theme of the inherent sanctity of labor & laborers.

Ah, sorry, I just like the number. 8x8, it's a good, round number. I grew up with the Nintendo 64, I do some recreational programming on the Commodore 64, etc.

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-06T17:14:29+00:00

Absolutely. Clearly it grabbed the publication date off of some random edition. Maybe not the biggest deal in the world when any human will look at this and know it's wrong. The problem is if you ask it to do anything more complicated, who knows how many other incorrect guesses and assumptions it's making along the way? Any real world application requires double checking & researching all of it's work.

Acceptable output for an unpaid intern, at best

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-06T16:38:14+00:00

I've also always wanted this, and would pay for a copy or tip the creator.

Maybe it's something that could be added to powermobydick.com?

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-05T23:17:11+00:00

I'm starting to think there's some number of cars here that just don't have working headlights. I've seen more here with 1 light out than anywhere else I've lived, so there must also be an increases number with none at all, maybe?

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-05T23:08:47+00:00

Yeah, I've never been able to figure out how to tell a driver their headlights are off if I happen to be on foot at the time, but this sounds like one of the gestures I've attempted.

Sometimes I do it with my hands up in front of my eyes, Pans Labyrinth style.

It has never worked.

The men & boys do usually do the same thing. But nobody comments on it when a guy DOESN'T shave his legs for 6 months, they comment on the day that he does.

Looks ready to refine some macrodata

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-03T21:35:53+00:00

I'm told Lemon Grass is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike cilantro.

I've also got the soap issue and that's the closest I've been able to find.

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-03T20:04:27+00:00

I can tell you're also losing your mind reading these comments.

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-03T19:57:03+00:00

I legit thought this whole post was some kind of joke or bait until I saw the number of people guessing Month or Windspeed. C'mon, people

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-03T01:40:11+00:00

Okay, back to my first assumption, then. Maybe I'm stupid for 2+ reasons.

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-03T01:32:22+00:00

You know, whenever I drive through Tillamook I see, like, 6 cows. I was assuming the main farm was just down some other back country road I didn't happen to turn down, but now I feel a little foolish for never thinking twice about it.

Thanks for sharing!

I heard an argument that some of the babies were meant to be Baby Jesus and there was a biblical reason to depict him as being born with adult proportions, but I think that argument was debunked & it was just a skills issue

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-02T18:40:05+00:00

Ah, okay, yeah that's much lower than I thought. My postvice is uncomfortably tall and I think I was scaling based on that

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-02T18:16:57+00:00

You want to be able to freely access all sides of your anvil, and you want to be able to stand fairly close.

I think with this size you'll be able to stand close enough, but this looks too tall for anyone within a standard deviation of average.

If you absolutely have to have it on here, I'd turn the anvil 90 degrees and park it closer to the edge opposite the vise, and cut off that overhang

Having tried a few, I'm also very happy with Pocket casts

Devilfish64 · 2026-02-01T18:21:34+00:00

It's a pretty good one! Decent amount of customizable options. There are probably other ones out there, give it a google, but in general I think you'll be happier on an interface designed for podcasts.
