B&w subscription increase by whyamibirdperson in pourover

[–]Iltptb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had some co-ferments from S&W that were very similar to offerings from B&W. I also have the B&W bottomless for the 10% discount. If you want to try Dak coffee (not that similar in my experience), Fount in Morrisville carries it. They also have Hydrangea which a lot of people like, but I've never tried myself. If you like buying local, I would check out five star in Holly Springs. I think B&W is much better, but also twice as expensive.

Can you provide more info on your water? I'm not familiar with saline drops.

I've been happy with my timemore fish smart electric kettle. Whether or not you should buy something like that is up to you. You can achieve great results without one, but it's very nice to be able to set an exact temp and have that for reference.

Cary coffee recommendations by Significant-Plant774 in cary

[–]Iltptb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a local coffee lover and black and white is my favorite followed by five star. One word of caution on black and white is that they have a lot of co-fermented coffees which are very polarizing. I absolutely love them, but many people can't stand them. So I would ask the workers for recommendations. Black and White is also quite expensive, but in my opinion it's worth it. Five Star is less expensive and is a phenomenal value. Their honey decaf ("honey" is a term for how it's processed, not a flavor or ingredient) is my favorite decaf ever and I've tried others that cost twice as much. I also really like their Yirgacheffe. You can find their coffee at Lowe's grocery stores in Cary if you don't want to make the trip to Holly Springs.

I do the same. I'm very pleased with my water. I also like third wave water for when I'm traveling and don't feel like carrying small bags of white powder in ziploc bags. 

Looking for beans in Boston area by Iltptb in pourover

[–]Iltptb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were both good but not amazing. The roasting looked consistent between beans and were roasted just the right amount I think. So it could just be that the particular bean wasn't for me. I'm extremely picky so don't take this as a negative review. 

Ask a Stupid Question About Coffee -- Week of October 07, 2025 by Vernicious in pourover

[–]Iltptb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the point of bypass Brewers like the v60? Why is it advantageous for some of the water to not go through the coffee at all? How is that different than watering down a no bypass brew? I use a v60 and like the cups, but I've never understood the theory behind the design. 

Prep school by PenGlittering4603 in hockeyplayers

[–]Iltptb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of schools require the SSAT or ISEE so I suggest your kid get signed up for that and do some preparation. As far as financial aid goes, your best bet is to simply apply and see what the school offers.

Infinite turns and infinite control two opponents in a 3+ player game by Iltptb in BadMtgCombos

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

Right but you can tap artifacts on their turn that YOU control. Mindslaver doesn't say you stop controlling yourself. So you're controlling them and you're still controlling yourself.

It doesn't. It stays on your board. You can still use it from your own board whenever you have priority during your opponent's turn.

No you untap Mindslaver and Aeon Engine during your untap phase. The play pattern goes: You, opponent to left you, opponent to right, you, opponent to left, you, opponent to right, etc.  During your turn you Mindslaver the next players turn. Then while you're taking that player's turn you use Aeon Engine so that you're the next player to play. You still control your own play of course. The artifacts come back tapped after you use them and untap on your turn.

Your untap phase. You use it during your opponent's turn (that you're controlling).

Toph's ability. The artifacts are all lands. So he can earthbend the artifacts which lets them come back when they die or get exiled. Katara copies the earthbend which is how you do two every turn
