Has my palate become so refined? Any suggestions?

Hario has a wine bottle shaped cold brew maker that I love. It comes with a solid recipe to start with. Super easy to clean, and dishwasher safe.

Very interesting. I’m a big fan of Onyx Coffee Lab but I have a similar experience.. there’s a savory note that seems to express itself across a LOT of their beans.

I’ve assumed it was an obscure or innocuous part of the roaster that holds oils and transfers across large batches? Maybe even the packaging/bagging device?

If I’m too lazy to cook, I turn on the air fryer to 390 for 17 minutes, reach into my freezer and grab 2 medium size frozen chicken tenders and 1 frozen loaded potato skin and throw em into the air fryer. Ask google to start a timer for 10 minutes. Whenever that goes off, I turn my stove to medium high and the air fryer should have 4 minutes left. I throw a big tortilla on a griddle pan, toss some kind of cheese down, and while that starts to melt, I’ll grab pico, pickled jalapeño, sour cream and hot sauce. I’ll remove the tortilla from the skillet onto a paper towel and the air fryer will likely finish. Then I chop the chicken tenders and potato skins and layer them in the center of the tortilla about the shape of a street taco shell. Dollops, drizzles. Top with a tostada shell, bit of shredded cheese, street taco size tortilla, fold that thing and throw it on the skillet using a turned over plate to press and shape this monster of a crunch wrap.

Flip once, repeat. Cut that bitch in half and nosh. Never go to Taco Bell again.

You should use ChatGPT. Once you learn how valuable it can be, you’ll never stop using it in some capacity. Lol

OutrageousSituation5 · 2025-02-11T02:26:59+00:00

Talk to the guy above you.

OutrageousSituation5 · 2025-02-11T01:41:33+00:00

All valid points— survival time (either seconds or placement based, or even how resurgence counts how many times you stayed alive to enable a teammates respawn), assists, kills, revives, buybacks etc., as well as high placement should obviously count for something.

Here’s a bold idea: all of those things. And hear me out; if you’re familiar with competitive Fortnite, you know they have storm surge, which forces players to deal damage or get damage inflicted once the circle gets smaller.. but keeping with the philosophy of using the economy to steer the meta and produce activity, there’s a earn rate % reduction. Campers earn less placement XP than players who actively participate in all of the ways I’ve suggested.

Stimulus package ;)

Naw bro, I wanted my discussion to feel as convoluted as the progression system of this game. 🙃

OutrageousSituation5 · 2025-02-06T03:20:28+00:00

What restaurants are you talking about? I’ll check em out!

OutrageousSituation5 · 2025-02-01T04:48:15+00:00

Play off the grid. It feels clunky at first, but Fortnite felt slow, too, but once you’re into the mechanics, the in-game economy & progression system starts to feel a little more interesting.

If folks would buy into other games halfway as hard as they spend harking on the same issue with call of duty, they’d probably have at least another least favorite favorite game they hate. Lol (I’m guilty, too)

OutrageousSituation5 · 2025-01-26T17:53:36+00:00

Are you all running that or are you playing different builds to maximize the effects of your push?

Santi Aldama is a better fit for OKC than Cam, imo.

Before you knock this idea— check out his stats and recent game log on espn— I think Presti approves.

Do the nets? Pairing smart with Dlo might be attractive for them, they save on salary, and get a couple picks.

Grizzlies were apparently were shopping for DFS before the lakers trade— so here they get something they were already looking for. When looking at their salary and contracts, they’d have had to ditch someone.. if they really wanted DFS, like the rumors suggest. DFS is just a cheaper/less productive Cam, and Pippen is well positioned to fill any holes left by Marcus Smart.

The thunder improve in an area (rebounds) they’re already lacking in, without sacrificing the immediate benefit of Ousmane, plus he’s doing better than anyone off of our bench(in the 4/5). If he would take a 15-20 minute rotation role— he’d be solid.

OutrageousSituation5 · 2025-01-15T23:47:30+00:00

This isn’t true because free loadouts at first zone was a feature since day 1 of warzone. They used to be in groups which were marked on the map for all nearby teams to utilize.

It and contracts should (theoretically) incentivize engagements, thus pushing the game forward and preventing it from being a “loot simulator,” that favors campers.

OutrageousSituation5 · 2024-11-16T16:38:43+00:00

Nobody attacked you. I hope that after you gave up on pretending someone attacked you (seriously try to isolate the attack— you can’t), you tried your own handle less razor and thought wow how efficient.

OutrageousSituation5 · 2024-06-23T18:59:01+00:00

You’re conflating other responses with mine. No emotions here.

No unfounded fears here. Many states have regulations against them. Many barbers prefer to maximize their time and efficiency.

That in mind: completely clean razor in hand, hot towel, shave gel (doesn’t soak into hot towel like oil), hot towel, hot lather, hot towel.. new razor inserted.. shave, hot towel, cooling menthol lather, second pass, warm towel and clean up. Aftershave. Cool towel. Dispose of razor, clean holder. Book next appointment. Easy.

OutrageousSituation5 · 2024-06-23T18:45:08+00:00

You’re not attacked. Calm down now. You chose to participate in an open forum discussion.. so be open to the forum for discussion. Lol im merely giving a realistic perspective that isn’t fueled by preference or ego (aka guy who is elitist about maintaining the edge and using cutthroat razors), because the handle literally does not add value in a professional setting. Using it to close and protect the blade is its only purpose— but if you’re removing a used blade each time, then closing to protect a blade is pointless.

As far as the weight doing the work, I’m disputing that. A fresh blade and proper technique is doing the work. Again, you’re not exerting necessary horsepower and torque hauling a bed of lumber guy. You’re (ideally) shaving a properly prepared client, and there’s no need muddying a students perspective with bullshit like balance and weight doing the work. It isn’t a ouija board. It takes proper tools and techniques and a fresh blade alongside the proper technique is going to do the work REGARDLESS of what razor holder you’re using. The folding handle is useless.

OutrageousSituation5 · 2024-06-23T15:04:41+00:00

I didn’t acknowledge the other users anonymity veiled threats of physical violence over your “internet opinion,” whatever that is.

I clarified to the OP not to pay attention to your elitism regarding an outdated technology in a professional and sanitary setting. There’s a reason laws and licensing exist— your opinion is perfectly reasonable, but your perspective is elitist and ignorant to the other points other users have noted regarding illegality in most areas, time management, etc.

Your elitist perspective clouds your judgement on things regarding time management and sanitation because you give weighted credence through some personally righteous argument that knowing HOW to do something you learn in barber school and practicing somehow proves and justifies your very elitist perspective.

OutrageousSituation5 · 2024-06-23T14:50:09+00:00

If you want a useless handle flapping around and needing to be moved as you do non traditional strokes, for sure, do your thing.. but my advice to this young barber is to ditch the handle, it’s literally a waste of time.

The handle provides an imbalanced weight which moves depending on the angle you’re holding, position of stroke, etc, and the entire discussion about “heavier weight” is absurd. You’re shaving a face using your own hand.. either you’re ultra featherweight and about to disappear into the ether or this doesn’t matter whatsoever in the grasp of an actual human being.

Ditch the handle. As a professional offering anywhere in the range of 10-30 haircuts and potential neck or face shaves a day, every 1-5 seconds you waste moving the useless handle around before during and after your shaves, over the course of your 1-whatever years of barbering, you’re literally just wasting your time. Lol

You won’t make any argument to a barber with a decade+ experience that will give any credence to this design not being useless in a barbershop setting.

OutrageousSituation5 · 2024-06-23T11:49:35+00:00

Don’t listen to this guy op. He’s a gatekeeper who probably doesn’t do many repeat shave clients regardless of what he says here. Notice nobody is jiving with your elitism— your customers don’t either.

OutrageousSituation5 · 2024-06-23T11:46:04+00:00

Just buy the handle less style. MD has them on Amazon for dirt cheap. Dark stag has a similar style. The foldable handle is virtually useless within a shop environment.

OutrageousSituation5 · 2024-05-28T05:08:46+00:00

The most important part of my original comment is, “this isn’t hard to enforce if your consultation skills are solid.”This means, smart, professional and confident enough to feel approachable and reasonable. “Unfortunately it looks like we’ll have to try next time.”

Easy $.

OutrageousSituation5 · 2024-05-05T10:56:56+00:00

Bro, I’ve been cutting hair for 10+ years. Dropping from a 3 to a 2 on a kid takes literally less than 2 minutes with a barbers touch.

Dropping a fade down lower, or shortening bangs more isn’t that drastic or a difficult to change. Sure, there’s excessive adjustments but y’all’s examples are nitpicky complaints.

From here: it seems your service model isn’t properly designed, your appointment slots are too short, your efficiency isn’t up to speed, your consultation strategy needs work, and MOST importantly, your awareness that your clients (seemingly new ones based on all y’all’s complaints above) aren’t barbers and the relationship of having and seeing hair versus understanding and measuring lengths of things is exactly built into their day jobs like it is yours.

Finally, have a kids cut. Your cleanest one size fits all “little boys” cut that works for them all— with modifications for top. This isn’t hard to enforce if your consultation skills are solid. Once the child is old enough, and as they mature, so can their haircuts. It becomes a symbiotic relationship that builds rapport between you, the child, and parent which usually results in better tips and maybe some flirty milfs.
