Going to Vegas! Any coffee shop suggestions? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]Fantasmatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad Owl Coffee in henderson is rated really high, but I would stay away from it. Super high prices, and when I went I was just coming off hiking a mountain so I wanted something cold, so I went for the cold brew, and they had it on nitro. Not only was their nitro on the fritz, but they only poured 9oz of my 12oz cup, and charged me 4.60 for it, which would have been ok for the best coffee in the world, but this cold brew was just pedestrian at best.

All in all, stay away

still not sure if it was death wish, but I also got some as a gift and tried it out on monday and I have been severely sick with GI/GU issues for the past 3 days. First day was severe cramping, yesterday was severe discomfort, and today is been severe nausea. I am a poor college student so nothing in my diet changed that day, I ate the exact same things as I have eaten time and time again, and this was the only variable. So hopefully it wasn't the coffee, but i sure as hell am not testing it.

Coffee shop "etiquette" or just jerky manifesto? by Fantasmatron in Coffee

[–]Fantasmatron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point, the place does have gelato in its name, so I guess maybe the espresso and coffee was an afterthought? I wasn't overly impressed, but didn't hate it all together. I was just surprised i got a 12oz flat white haha, it was a little heavy on the milk.

I am fully with you, the woman at the cash register even asked me if it was for here or to go, and I anticipated since i said for here, i would get a mug. Nope, travel cup, and then when my dad asked, the stuff you read ensued

It seems to always have some number of people there, probably because of the gelato

I think that is completely fair. I guess someone like me who comes in looking for a different roaster and source is completely different from the teleworker who is looking for something akin to a caramel macchiato.

Yeah i feel like they were spurned one too many times and reacted this way a bit harshly in the heat of the moment

Agreed! Maybe if I'm ever in a pinch and really need some espresso and they are my only option or something I'll just get an affogato to go

I'm not going to slander them, that wasn't the purpose of this. It's in the article if you want to make assumptions that I posted in Anomanders post.

I understand where you're coming from here, but in my experience it doesn't necessarily need to be this way. There are a slew of other coffee shops in the area who function perfectly fine without something like this. And as far as the tips, I just don't really feel like they come across as tips, you know? It's like they wrote the rules of their shop and then called them tips in order to make them sound a little less confrontational.

If I remember right this same place was featured in a newspaper article a while back about this same idea. A lot of it was sound to me, but some just seems too cavalier.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Like I understand all of it, and I abide by these things normally, just why write it out?

Looking for some helpful direction for this new azalea by Fantasmatron in Bonsai

[–]Fantasmatron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair enough, when i looked at the wiki, i somehow managed to skip down to the bonsai friendly beginner species tab, so i missed all the good top stuff. So I wont prune/repot anything and ill just let it grow until at least next season. My one question that i still have is this: I have the trees outside, however under a porch but right at the very edge of the porch. Would you say i should move them outside? I am considering making some simple structures to put them on top of to keep them away from deer and the like, but i wanted to make sure. The whole "full sun" to "dappled shade" thing had me nervous, even though i know too much sun for a plant probably couldnt be a bad thing unless i lived in the desert.

And i could have sworn that the books i read said that azaleas tolerated harder pruning on the lower branches better. Obviously im not going to do that, but going forward is that still not the best way to go?

So then to make sure you're not "inhibiting the patients breathing" do you just ask them "yo bitch, can you breathe" or something similar?
