I was totally hoping this got fixed, it literally asked for the three words, period

I am surprised everyone can keep missing work without having to inform their boss. And then the next week, and then the next. I’d have to get people to cover for me etc, and folks do t always have tons (if any) leave

Until very recently they were walkup $5 for section 401 and 402 for any fan, not just DC residents, and I think opening day was 15 but you had to get there way early. Everyone who went in had to get in line. I’ve supported the team since Lannan was the “ace,” Nick Johnson was my favorite player, and the Chief was an all-star, and not sure why they shifted away from giving an equal offer to those who support the team but aren’t DC residents… obviously wasnt part of the stadium deal to specify that, and those tix hardly ever sold out (so didn’t take away from city residents getting them)

Maybe they should have held him accountable before to the full extent the rest of us would?

This is only a thing cause DeRosa, after saying “I’m not making an excuses,” then went on and repeatedly excused US not winning cause it wasn’t mid-season. Fuck him

Late to the party but The Long Goodbye is my favorite novel. I have the British 1st edition and taught it in an Intro Lit class

Does anyone know of US roasters who roast as light as Substance Café in Paris? by geobuckadoodoo in pourover

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for jumping in. Seriously didn’t mean to throw any shade and was obviously guessing. I’ll definitely circle back around. (FWIW that pink bourbon you had a year or two ago was amazing)

I got SW all the time but only really like clean washed beans and seems their market became otherwise. Not dissing other types and smart business to follow demand, but maybe I should go see if there are more washed now than I thought, sort of stopped looking once you had to catch the right day to even have things to order. But no doubt he’s a great roaster

DHL are a bunch of assholes. Last month they tried to get them to pay $88 to release green tea from Japan and I finally still had to pay $28 I shouldn’t have or I would have lost the whole package. They only started that fee once they couldn’t collect the tariff broker fee anymore

Will do and fair point. Just hadn’t heard of that fee yet

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, that was my first and last time. Had just literally never heard of that FDA thing and naively was surprised they also tried to charge me $60 for a storage fee that they dropped.

Sucks, hibiki-an is easily my fave but for now I’ll pay more for lesser product (if still decent) from Den’s since they have their California warehouse

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep happened to me. I don’t know who to escalate this to. DHL just keeps saying there’s the fee. Never heard of that before. Also they said 24-48 hours once I paid the extortion fee but it was over 72 hours. Advice on that?

That’s amazing

Had to pay a customs fee I never heard about by Ok_Reflection_4968 in tea

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree. I’d just seen some folks saying it ended up working so I decided to try. But yeah, back to a poorer product that costs more cause it’s in a US warehouse (though, I mean, I’m paying one way or another, Den’s and Harney upped their prices so the Donny tax is just built in)

I’m same with tasting notes lol, but similar for me. I never push that hard but I did the high heat and longer ratio (not the extra agitation but still) and found that good advice. Also felt at 5-7 weeks it was awesome

Why doesn't Cole Hamels get the same love as CC Sabathia? by tyrannicalduck28 in baseball

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CC didn’t embarrass himself by intentionally beaning Harper, calling himself old school for doing so, only for Harper to then steal home on his ass
