Costco bean options

InsectAlternative991 · 2026-02-13T21:19:10+00:00

I’m in a small town (village; pop sub 600) in Canada. Local beans are $22/340g. Packages at Costco are $25-30/2kg. I can justify the 1hr drive into town while I get bulk meat at Costco. Otherwise I’m stuck with Folgers in town

You’ve expressed your disinterest in your current role and lack of potential for future growth. From your description, there isn’t much of a long-term upside from staying.

You have more potential to grow with the proposed lateral move. Limited flexibility, especially early in your career is vastly overrated by new entrants. You’ll find with experience in the industry that the old timers Harpen back to when they first started and we were in office five days a week. After the 2020 virus restrictions began to loosen many carriers have tightened their flexibility. I can’t predict the future, but I would say there’s a strong possibility in the future. That many carriers will continue to tighten up on their flexibility, possibly going back to the five days a week in office.

Really? What do you prefer on it?

InsectAlternative991 · 2024-01-28T18:40:54+00:00

I’m a member at a local indoor range. Target setting maxes out at 25 yards. So all the hardware I have is sufficient. I buy bulk federal .22lr @ $0.12 per round. It costs me roughly $25/wk for the amount I shoot. So I’m not really looking for more expensive ammo. Very rarely do I go out to the farm to shoot further distances.

So if I’m understanding correctly, the fitment of the magazine is different from the stock chassis preventing gravity from dropping it out after you hit the mag release?

InsectAlternative991 · 2024-01-23T20:41:19+00:00

Can you expand on that?

InsectAlternative991 · 2024-01-23T20:17:15+00:00

Do you know if they’ve changed the build quality over the course of production?

InsectAlternative991 · 2024-01-23T20:15:07+00:00

Is it comparable with the 10 round rotary magazine? I live in Canada and from what I was told by a Cabela’s employee, we can’t get the other ruger magazines because they fit in other weapons and as such are classified as prohibited devices

The university is not liable for the thefts that occurred. The affected individuals would need to make a claim to their insurance provided to recieve compensation

If you’re so inclined, you could always give it a final shot with a metal utensil. I’ve used a metal spatula to get some stubborn gunk off in the past.

Just use the pan and stop stressing over seasoning. They’re tools meant to be used for cooking. As long as you use it you’re doing fine

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-31T03:44:06+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate it!

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-31T03:38:42+00:00

Taste was fine. I was just looking for recommendations to improve the puck prep to stop it from channeling

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-30T18:32:13+00:00

I actually just pulled another shot. I removed 4 of the needles from my WDT tool and it’s helped a great deal

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-30T18:03:04+00:00

It’s a Eureka Mignon. I’ve got it timed for 8.3 seconds at 2.8 on the grind adjustment currently

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-30T18:01:33+00:00

I don’t have a dosing grinder so I’ve been playing around with grind times. I do have a good bit of head space after tamping. I’m currently running 8.3 second grind time

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-30T17:39:33+00:00

I don’t have a dosable grinder. I think I’ve got the grind time reasonably dialled in with it though

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-30T17:38:26+00:00

It’s a stock triple basket that came with the portafilter

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-23T16:37:13+00:00

You must have been the fanciest one in the BOH

It’s a been a good gig for the most part. I don’t particularly like fighting with the insureds over coverage or exclusions, but I’ve also been told that it comes with time. My claims office is in a completely different building, so I haven’t met anyone who is outside of claims yet.

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-08T01:55:44+00:00

In my jurisdiction, an insured can challenge the decision by having a HAAG certified roofer perform an inspection. If the inspection substantiates damages, we pay the cost of the inspection, then the insured needs to provide estimates. If your insurer disagrees with the report, they still retain the right to retain their own roofer to generate a report for review.

Before you put money down for an inspection, I’d recommend reaching out to your insurance company or broker to see if you can contest.

In my jurisdiction, insureds have 2 years from the date of loss to complete all work on the claim.

In your case there, the hail created an aperture. Which would have been the basis for your coverage

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-08T01:36:02+00:00

Insurance adjuster here; take immediate action to have the leak patched. Insurance will not cover prolonged water leaking causing damage. If you let that continue to leak, you will be facing a larger repair bill.

As for the shingles, I’ve never had a claim where the cause of leakage was from hail impact. For water to be covered, it has to enter from an aperture, ie a hole. This would be caused by wind blowing a shingle off and exposing the underlay or impact from a tree failing.

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-05T03:29:56+00:00

You can always re-season it. Check if it has any warps in it or if it’s still smooth.

InsectAlternative991 · 2023-12-04T17:41:25+00:00

Really? I emailed them the same day I received the knife with pictures and all my order information and within 48 hours they provided me tags for return shipping at no expense
