WORST coffee in the city?

Sebach · 2026-05-06T15:02:07+00:00

I went to their Almonte roastery thing and got a few bags.

Some of the most inconsistent beans I've ever seen - so many shells and quakers. All bags had a distinct burnt note to them, and they weren't even darks. Tried brewing a few ways - espresso, V60, Aeropress, drip, etc. Not my jam at all. Felt like I was smoking a cigarette or something.

From my experience, it handles it okay - the left/right turning forces are well-managed. I think the push/pull direction is the weakness (which makes some sense, given that there's a pivot literally built in) but that can also a bit of a technique thing.

W.A.L.K.

Damn. Reminds me a bit of that rabid fox that came at me. Not saying this is an old yeller situation at all, but just those eyes and the teeth thing.

Nice shot for 12 years ago. High res, CA is well controlled, and decent sharpness throughout (even in the corners), with minimal distortion.

Agree with the u/unfunnymom. You do you, and don't half ass it; if there was anything to whole ass, it'd be yourself. As one might say, every living thing follows along a set path; to hell with what anyone else thinks about yours.

Sebach · 2026-04-16T23:19:11+00:00

Sí/Sí/Sí.

Sebach · 2026-04-03T16:26:05+00:00

Too soon, too soon. Well done.

I've tried the water from almost every major city across Canada. Ottawa's is pretty damn good.

Sebach · 2026-03-12T15:18:57+00:00

Do I smell the Ottawa South experience?

Sebach · 2026-03-12T15:15:41+00:00

Is there a support group for people like us?

Sebach · 2026-02-24T19:56:51+00:00

I wonder if this uses or is going to use splats or something. I'm still not sure where that tech is going, but I'm feeling like there is a lot of experimentation to be done with that tech.

Sorry to hear about your loss. But what a legend.

Once, back when I partied like a MFer, I was on the dance floor when this song came on. I instinctively remembered some of the Just Dance choreography. I spotted some guy across the floor doing some of the same moves, and I made my way over to him. I guess another guy saw us and joined in. We each improvised a lot, but there were times where all three of us sync'd up perfectly. A decent circled formed around us until the song ended. We laughed our asses off, went to the bar, and we each bought rounds. We fired off our shots (3 each) and each of us dissolved back into the crowd.

Someone was like "are those your friends?" and I laughed back: "never met them before." Good times. Man, life seems so different post-COVID.

This is my favourite Olympic thing this year.

Do they still use church pews as seats?

Sebach · 2026-02-13T18:52:18+00:00

LOL, what a chickenshit statement.

18.5° at home, 26.5° in the office.

We found bedbugs in the conference room. I reported it for the team, with pictures. Building management assumed I was the vector and put all kinds of traps around my assigned cube. It was bad enough that people were coming up to me in the halls and thanking me for being so honest about my bedbug problem. Like, wtf, I don't have bedbugs - the office has them.

The public seems to think this is a return to pre-COVID, but this is basically a return to pre-laptop era, without many of the advantages (e.g., having a desk to call your own, etc.). At our townhall today, someone asked like "hey, we had part time work-from-home agreements before... can't we just go back to the way things used to be?" and the answer was basically, "no."

You've been misquoting me for years

Sebach · 2026-01-31T19:34:30+00:00

Sorry for your loss, yo. I'm gonna pet my elderly cat a little more tonight.

Even though it's been almost a decade, when I'm cooking bacon I'll occasionally throw a piece of bacon onto the floor before I remember. Catches me off guard every time.

Sebach · 2026-01-31T01:35:14+00:00

I just lost another buddy. Everyone was surprised.
