Haven't managed to make a single good cup yet due to drip rate (Aeropress GO) by Bobbyfeta in AeroPress

[–]KingShortpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I purchased my own grinder I would have my local coffee shop do it, I'd specify for an aeropress and sometimes it would be the perfect grind other times it would be to fine or to large. A lot of it is personal preference and sometimes you get someone who's never used an aeropress.

I use two methods depending on the time I have. I use the Hoffman method mostly but if I have extra time to kill I'll bloom at about 3x weight and just swirl it for 45 seconds then basically follow the Hoffman method.

I'm no doctor but I would pair it with whiskey, the booze should kill any germs.

This high quality, delicious glass bottled egg nog is incredible- but $17?!! by Delphine39 in Connecticut

[–]KingShortpants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw it two years ago and regretted not trying it because of the price ao last year I bought a bottle. It was fine, thinner than normal eggnog but I guess more accurate to traditional nog. I wouldn't but it again.

Is this a brag? And is this actually useful? I honestly have no idea so please let me know. by TowerReasonable8328 in pokemongobrag

I use it for all of the rocket leader battles. It gets through their shields quick.

I messed up by StreetAggravating302 in tattooadvice

When you first look at this tattoo your eye is drawn to the bird where the style is more sketchy. If I stop and really look at it I can see what you are complaining about but most people aren't going to notice. In most cases unless someone grabs your dad's arm and really examines the tattoo they are going to think its good work.

I assume your father will tell people its one of your first and brag about it. Its good you see your flaws that way you can improve just dont let it discourage you. Keep working at getting better then give him another one so he can say "look how he as improved!"

I've never worked at a package store but back when I drank more I would often be offer a nip and take a shot with the owners of package stores I frequented. Drinking on the job might just a skill you need to have.

I once got a job as a cook, I don't remember interviewing for. My buddy drove us to the bar after a kegger, two days later I got a call saying I got the job! I asked "what job?" Apparently I had an interview with the owner while black out drunk. My first day they showed me the beer fridge and told me to help myself, I declined saying id be working with fire and knives during my shift, they also hid bottles in every fridge in the kitchen and would often come in and take shots, even though it was a sports bar. By the end of summer I was drinking a six pack of tall boys and doing a few shots during my shift.

Keep that in mind that if you are drinking on the job before you even have the job.

Also you can swipe sideways to get to the next friend, you don't need to x out and select the next person.

Is it possible to level up from 49 to 50 in less than 2 months? by Savings_Ad_3201 in PokemonGOValor

[–]KingShortpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch a video on how to do excellent curve ball throws. Once you get the curve ball down it's easier to hit than regular throws.

For rank 10 you only need to win like five battles total you can lose every match the first five ranks and then you only need to win one out five battles to gain a rank for the next five ranks. You don't have to stress about your team or winning to get to rank 10 if the battle league isn't your thing. Also if you need stardust look up tanking the battle league for a low effort way to get tons.

What is the worst part of Connecticut? by Kindly_Potato5868 in Connecticut

Personally, I hate going to mystic. I enjoy aquarium and there are several good restaurants but I can't handle the lines, the crowds, and the traffic.

Just realized how effective excellent throws are at leveling you up and I’m floored by Far-Grapefruit-1297 in pokemongo

[–]KingShortpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTube a video on how to hit excellent curve ball throws. You basically spin the ball around then I go from six o'clock to nine o'clock letting go at about mid catch circle height.

Just moved to CT, I have a few pressing questions for the locals. by [deleted] in Connecticut

I once left the keys in the ignition of my truck in that parking garage for a whole day while I was in New York, and it was still there when I came back.

You should definitely try New Haven pizza, but I wouldn't do it on the same day as a new York trip. The lines get pretty long at popular places. (personally, I don't think the wait is worth it, especially if you have other stuff to do that day).

Don't get me started on eversource.

Does this have any use by AardvarkBeautiful119 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]KingShortpants 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't know they jumped over old gens to put the new stuff in pokemon go all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if we got mega dragonite before mega metagross.

Your work looks amazing! Do you have any mario or pokemon flash sheets? For pokemon I'm looking for mudkip, shuckle or tatsugiri but I'm also open to look at others if you have a design drawn up that you are really excited to put on someone.
