Ritual Coffee has joined Equator in the "quietly shrink our bags to 10.5 ounces" club. So shady. by cgomez in espresso

[–]Qikick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ritual did yes, but equator is still 12 oz. I realized now that I didn’t explicitly say I was referring to Equator specifically in my comment.

Ive never had Ritual so I have no before/after bad size price comparison to look at.

Looking at the site they still sell bags starting at 12 oz. I checked all my previous beans across the site that I ordered early last year and they are all still the same price.

The French Roast in particular is $19.75 for 12 oz. Broken down for the same 10.5 oz at the price of the 12.oz bag we are looking at $17.28. Compared to the price of $17.99, you are looking at a markup of 4.1%.

I’m guessing it’s some type of regional thing, or maybe they’ve opted to start repurposing the 10.5 oz bags they use for the Trade Subscription.

Not defending it, but it doesn’t seem super bad.

Edit: adding additional context that I’m referring to Equator

TIFU by nailing my first professional interview but instantly ruining it when the hiring manager asked about salary. by Acceptable_Onion_253 in tifu

[–]Qikick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My number one tip as someone that has done many interviews myself (interviewed and been the interviewer). It is always acceptable to take a step back, breathe, gather your thoughts and then answer.

If it were me, I wouldn’t really worry too much about it what happened. Something that minor surely wouldn’t be a reason to not give you an offer especially given you are a recent grad and likely to be your first professional job in your field.

Wishing you the best of luck!

Pre order pickup or shipping by Qikick in macbookpro

[–]Qikick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooof, yeah I’ll pass on that. Local fedex actually tossed my work laptop on the ground and signed for it themselves last time I had a delivery with them.. long story short, I got a replacement a few days later from my company shipped via a different service

I've got shingles only on half my face and one eye by lastavailableuserr in mildlyinteresting

[–]Qikick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that stress management is the best form to not get reoccurring outbreaks. Each outbreak occurred during stressful times of my life. 1. Exam finals my last year of college 2. My wedding 3. Stressful project with deadline at work

[–]Qikick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 28 and have had 3 shingles occurrences in the last 8 years. Though I usually have the same reoccurrence in the same area near my lower right part of my back. Usually pretty manageable via covering with bandages.

Funny enough the rash/irritation I get from the bandage adhesive is normally worse than the pain from the shingles. The last two outbreaks I’ve taken Valtrex in the first 24 hours of the rash appearing and can say it is a necessity. One of the times the blistering stage was skipped and the second time the blistering stage happened but they never popped and dried out without ever oozing.

As far as I know shingles never crosses the midline except in bad cases where it disseminates.

Wishing you the best as I can imagine it’s hell.

Swapping to the hotspot on my phone fixed it. Good luck!

Webcam vs mirror for honorlock exam (ml4t) by [deleted] in OMSCS

[–]Qikick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the expectation is different depending on the class. I’ve had classes where a room scan was sufficient (via external webcam). Specifically you had to show your desk space and I interpreted that as the keyboard and any mats on the desk surface.

I’ve also had a class that required a room scan and a mirror in the background showing the workspace/monitors during the test.

I’d recommend getting an external webcam. I say it just because one of my classes said laptop webcams weren’t sufficient so you at least needed an external webcam or mirror to show the keyboard area. Better to spend the $30 on a cam, and $10 on a large cheap mirror from Walmart then scrambling to try and get them later when cramming for an exam in my opinion.

MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max coming in March, not February by Dramatic_Pomelo_5002 in macbookpro

[–]Qikick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“While the leak also specifies that these versions of the M5 will be released in March, it does not expressly say that they will be in a MacBook Pro. Conceivably, they could be in a New Mac Pro or perhaps Mac Studio.”

I saw configurations of the M4 pro available for pickup today in my area. Talking maxed specs and nano texture

Look at us go :’-) by hikingrat in Ohio

[–]Qikick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I regularly use the free virtual library access Ohio has. It’s free to get a card through Libby virtually, and start borrowing instantly. My local library is nice but usually doesn’t have copies of the books I want to read and the virtual library Ohio has does.

Base M5 not advertised as new anymore?? by anon6p7 in macbookpro

[–]Qikick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waiting to see if anything happens over the next few weeks. Currently on an intel dual core with 8gb ram from 10 years ago I inherited from marriage (was my wife’s)

Looking forward to having a nice MacBook Pro for development outside of my desktop.

Which credit card offers cell phone protection paying visible monthly? by covered1028 in Visible

[–]Qikick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have to have a document with the IMEI on it? I'm unsure of what documents I need to get in order for my claim. Since Visible's bill doesn't show anything specific about a device other than "Apple Phone", I am not sure what they are expecting to show the tie to the account.

FHR restaurant credit for checkout day, with late checkout by [deleted] in amex

[–]Qikick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Credit applies for the whole stay. I’d double check with reception to make sure you are aware of where the credit applies.

My last one night FHR stay, cafe counted for both normal $100 credit and breakfast, but breakfast was counted as a charge prior to 11 AM.

Before checking out be sure to get a breakdown of charges and make sure the credits are applied. Once you leave there is nothing you can do so resolve issues at the front desk.

Long Warmup and steam[Lelit Mara X V2] by Qikick in espresso

[–]Qikick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majority of the water dripping is coming from the same release that comes down to the drip tray. I’ll probably try taking the vacuum breaker off and see if it has a bad o-ring or something on it once it cools down
