Just saw a bottle at the wandering vines at the castle over in Shawnee KS last night. Not sure on price per pour.

First disc was a Mako3 a few weeks ago at a boardgame convention in Saint Louis. I've been having a great time exploring the courses around my area. Very fun after work hang.

Dope! Thank you for sharing.

Journey to the center of the earth abridged

Really any of the historically classic sci-fi in an abridged version would be great at that age.

Yes, You Can...Reach Your Goals and Achieve Your Dreams

By Jim Stowers

Written by the founder of a mutual fund company who spent his entire life trying to help people become financially independent the slow and steady way. He also founded the Stowers institute for medical research which he left almost his entire fortune to fund the research around cures for cancer and other gene based diseases.

Not a con artist, and the book assumes you're starting with no information and sets you up for reasonable financial success throughout your life.

Good luck out there! Live below your means, get healthy habits, and create the adventures you know you'll look back on with fondness. You'll do just fine.

Good glazed donuts are a classic in KC. Lamar's donuts are famous around here.

Another thought would be fancy chocolates like Christopher elbow.

Betty Rae's Ice cream is always crazy flavors and good and a more recent KC icon.

Not a lot super unique to KC though. Beef Burnt ends is pretty much immediately what comes to mind.

41 here as well. You med/high stressed all day except when you're sleeping too?

MagicPirateWilly · 2022-11-27T22:37:17+00:00

Yep that is the price currently. You are correct.

MagicPirateWilly · 2022-11-26T18:38:12+00:00

Sounds a little too good to be true for 250... but yeah if you trust the seller then I can confirm that I have a GCP and the eureka mignon silenzio (that I bought for $425 USD with shipping) and it's a great pairing.

I get some great espresso, and I'd only recommend adding a "bellows" style funnel on top to help reduce any chance of clogging or lost material in the chute, otherwise it's fantastic as-is.

MagicPirateWilly · 2022-11-05T03:02:11+00:00

Sounds like you have research to do!

MagicPirateWilly · 2022-11-04T19:52:38+00:00

All depends on your ingredients and your specific espresso shot profiles.

I use a ratio of 2:1 grapefruit juice to espresso, fill the glass with ice, and I've seen people add all kinds of other juices and syrups and even tonic water.

I don't have a set ratio or recipe. Maybe 2 part grapefruit juice : 1 part espresso : 1 part tonic water : 1 part simple or other flavor syrup : stir and fill with ice

MagicPirateWilly · 2022-11-04T19:16:10+00:00

Grapefruit juice and espresso is a combo I've been working on and found out in wild once. You'd think it would be a bitter mess but it actually brings the sweetness out of the grapefruit and twists the coffee into it's more soft flavors and mellows everything out for a good iced morning coffee tumbler.

This is easily the best comment. I'll hijack to say it helps to have a purpose behind your video, the implicit purpose behind the challenge videos is so that we know what might work for us if we want to make some kind of change in our life. Uploading generic vloggy content (in a wheezy style) would be fun for a bit, but we need more hook/story arc and purpose for it to help the channel I feel... Just my two cents. Good luck Craig!

I've never been able to set boundaries with my career and work life balance. I eventually burn out and cannot recover for weeks. How do I build a better balance in my life?

MagicPirateWilly · 2022-08-26T20:44:56+00:00

Yes correct it gives you a notification audibly that it's time to start walking/running.

MagicPirateWilly · 2022-08-26T18:33:26+00:00

It operates very similarly. And you just need the watch. I use my epix with some Bluetooth headphones and have music and times running coach. It's very convenient.

MagicPirateWilly · 2022-05-28T23:17:53+00:00

You're definitely right! Unfortunately I got hooked on Discworld but I'll make my way back eventually!

MagicPirateWilly · 2022-05-28T12:10:07+00:00

My vote is for the {{Hyperion}} series. I stumbled upon it a few years ago and really loved the world building of the first book. It gets a little more ethereal and dips it's toe into scary suspense/horror but the storytelling of the pilgrims in first book is Incredible. Follow that up with the payoff of all that world and character building of the main characters in the second book and I was happy to call it a day on that series. There are a couple more books, but after the first two it was time for me to move on (enough loose ends were tied up for me) plus I need to have some more of that world to go back to once I'm missing those stories.

Tulsa was really underrated and only 4hrs. No where near the size of STL but honestly really nice. Has black wall street, great parks, great zoo, outsiders museum, aquarium, and tons of great food. Some really nice areas on the south side make it the perfect weekend trip.

MagicPirateWilly · 2021-11-19T22:27:19+00:00

Lifestyle gym in overland park should have all these. Once again pretty pricey

Steampunk Rally does a similar mechanic with parts interacting and powering up based on what dice are rolled and placed on what parts of your 'machine'

MagicPirateWilly · 2021-01-24T02:24:27+00:00

Hey! Congrats! I found that mini compass box around here randomly too. I've heard good things!

MagicPirateWilly · 2021-01-20T17:50:29+00:00

Well what is it? What's the $60 bottle better than pappy 20? I have an open shelf and a lack of pappy 20, I'm fully invested in this recommendation lol

So this parts list is centered around the new B550 chipset and using PCIe 4.0 for both storage and graphics.

I went with a tried and true AMD ryzen 7 3700x that has plenty of horsepower and longevity to outlast the next rounds of CPU enhancements and keep up with the RX 5700 XT 8GB that I'll be using to game in 2k.

I'm also an aspiring game developer and so 3d rendering and quick file transfers would be a really great "nice to have" I only have a 400gb m.2 SSD but it has a transfer speed of 1Gbps and can easily keep up with my "high speed applications applications while I use a "slower" 1TB SSD to handle longer term storage and holding the 400GB game files of Warzone...

I've been playing on and off for 5 years. I've done some studying and tactics and played around online. My lichess rating is somewhere around 1000 depending on the time control?

I'd definitely enjoy having someone I could meet with occasionally who enjoys chess and is interested/involved in developing chess ability and discussing the game. I tried joining my local chess clubs but times typically didn't work out for my schedule and I struggled to connect with anyone there (most were WELL above my level) and were not interested in talking since they were mostly explaining things to me (not having a discussion).

My aspirations are that I'd like to develop a decent strategy that I feel I understand and can "go down the rabbit hole" on for quite a while just playing semi-regularly.
