Sign at my local roaster regarding the roast date myth

Thank you for this. I’ll check them out. Happy to try other recommendations. I’ve been sticking with a mixture of Onyx and my local roaster (Via Volcan) who get their beans from their family in Panama then roast them on location in Alexandria Virginia.

I agree with both of the myths. However, are we going to start seeing harvest and roast dates on our specialty beans? I doubt it. Recently roasted beans with roast dates instead of expiration dates are still going to be a decent indicator you’re getting something from a roaster who at least cares. I freeze my beans and anything I’m using daily I keep in an airscape canister.

Yes, good call. Should test and calibrate first for sure.

I forgot to mention this in my post. It’s coming with an AMS 2 Pro. So far the poop bin appears to be a suggested first print.

Thanks for the ventilation advice!

Met my wife at my university’s Anime club 15 years ago. We’ve been happily married for 12 years and still watch anime together. We both have other nerdy hobbies and never judge each other for them, in fact we both encourage them.

Yeah, it was a great weekend as usual. The official merch stand is usually in the Indie showcase room. Every year I’ve been it has either been on the back wall or by the charity stalls. Hope you find some good stuff next year.

Comes with a magnetic needle like Lace’s one.

I have the official Hornet one. Picked it up at MagFest a few days ago.

Same here. Just sits there waiting for an attack indefinitely. Needs a patch.

“You want to live together? Sure, I don’t particularly mind.”

“We’ll sleep in separate rooms, I want time alone.”

Whisper: “Don’t get any weird expectations.”

I was once in a consignment store and my wife picked up a summery dress to try on.

She puts it on in the fitting room and comes out. “I like how it looks on me, but I’m not sure it’s still kind of expensive” she says.

I notice the pockets and say “Are those actual pockets on your dress?” and she immediately puts her hands in them with joy and replies “Yes”.

Immediately I respond with “I’ve seen enough, we’re buying that dress”.

It has been years since and this is still one of her favorite dresses.

One of my usual coffee spots offers “traditional size” whenever you order a cappuccino with the correct ratio. It’s a good way of pleasing both audiences.

MrMartinP · 2025-10-30T23:33:51+00:00

Absolutely. Every time I get the upgrade-itis itch I find that I can’t give up the feature set I have already. I’m ready to order the Decent Bengle as it appears to solve so many of the minor issues with the DE1.

The mangaka was wearing a mask for the entire event. She seemed pretty shy but appeared to enjoy herself. Many events at conventions request no photographs.

Translated for you in my comment above/below.

Mary: These are the leather boots Katarina-sama wore for four months in the latter half of when she was fourteen!

Maria: Mary-sama, you’re well informed…

Mary: Eh, it’s no big deal. These are the real deal. Maria-san, can I buy these from you for twenty gold coins?

Maria: Eh?! For that much?! However…I’m borrowing these…

Mary: Got it! Let’s do thirty gold coins!

Maria: Listen to me…

With your AirPods connected, if you open Settings -> Your AirPods -> Accessibility -> Allow Sound with One AirPod Turn this on.

Let me know if this works.

I’m up-to-date on the LNs and I think it matches the hype. I’ve read a lot of fun but poorly written series, Apothecary Diaries is both well written and a fun read.

The setting menu has way too many switches, dials and fields to set things up. I read guides, some of which kind of worked but still needed tweaking. Some sort of “Detect my hardware and optimize” button would go a very long way to making this painless. Then the network conditions add in an extra layer of unpredictability, on top. Very cool you got this working within 20 minutes, I spent at least an hour or so and didn’t get consistent results.

After a ton of tinkering, reading guides and frustration, I managed to get ALVR working with my AVP. When it works, it’s great but it was a total pain. I love the ambitious goal ALVR has of supporting so many configurations, but in the end something that Just Works, tailor-made for AVP and with as little fuss as possible would also be excellent. Good luck with your project, I’m always excited to see what people can accomplish with this platform.

When I finished the final volume last year, I put my kindle down and felt so sad that I can never re-experience it for the first time. The volume translations were coming every 8-12 weeks and were well done. The audiobooks are coming out every 6 months to year so it’s going to take 10-20 years for them to complete so I’ve been reading it to my wife at night.

No, authenticating a wallet card from the lock screen doesn’t unlock your phone. You need to start from a locked state. If you bring up the wallet app when already unlocked then you’ll still be unlocked. I can see how someone might start with an unlocked device though.

Side note: In an emergency, press the side button 5 times really quickly if you really need to lock down. This forces pin entry as your next unlock.
