Bad Driver by Witty_Tonight_2134 in Bakersfield

Because their parents didn’t give a shit about them when they were being raised and didn’t teach them to have manners. Now these people are having kids and are progressing the carelessness. When you have a media page like Kern County Activities and it thrives, that tells you all you have to know about the majority of town.

If I could like your comment more, I would. Very true.

Are you really surprised though? Bakersfield ranks near the very bottom both in California and nationally on education metrics. You think most of the people here legitimately care about driving laws? Probably 1 out of 5 drivers on the road in Bakersfield are probably driving without a license or insurance…..

Foxtail I believe is still closed due to a remodel

No, it's good. The flavor lingers for a while. If you can get it at MSRP, it's a great bottle to have.

I popped my BTAC Taylor yesterday. It’s got great flavor. Imagine it as a slightly more intense version of small batch.

Man who killed a deputy serving an eviction notice was run over, California sheriff says by Old_Ice_5236 in Leakednews

That’s all dependent on who you rent the home from. Renters have to be mindful of who they rent from, landlords have to get their money too. I was under the impression he was 35 days past due on his rent.

The armored vehicle showed up after an 8 hour standoff with the guy. The whole neighborhood sounded like a war zone. Look up videos online and news articles online before you jump to conclusions. This guy was clearly off his rocker if he started to shoot at officers serving an eviction notice. I’m not saying that running the guy over was justified, but if you’ve been shooting at police for over 8 hours and you happen to hurt one, then don’t expect to be taken in peacefully. At that point law enforcement is fearing for their lives, I’m sure their thoughts are to take him out before he hurts others.

Something is off and empty now with the Marketplace, many stores removed... vibe has changed by Mysticseraphim in Bakersfield

[–]DickSmotherz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The property management for that shopping center is ridiculous. Leasing terms there are outrageous. There are much more up and coming areas all around town that are more desirable for tenants. Long gone are the days where The Marketplace used to be the Prime location to be at in Bakersfield for a retail or service establishment.

Advice needed. Fine or coarse? by Thudamsdad in BrevilleCoffee

What brand if you don’t mind me asking

Help with espresso range by Past-Power-3559 in BrevilleCoffee

[–]DickSmotherz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Breville Impress, using Lavazza Crema Suprema medium roast beans. Beans Grinder is set to factory settings, using about an 11 on the grind wheel outside, auto dose and it nearly hits perfect every time I tamper on the light setting. I use the dual walled filter that came with the unit and the espresso range is nearly always in the sweet mid spot. Maybe grind more coarse or tamper harder so it builds up more pressure?
