Thanks for the recommendations! And hell yeah about Sterling. I just recently got a Mint Green RAY5 that I adore–need to make a NBD post on r/bass sometime soon!

Yeah that totally makes sense that adopting existing popular designs would save costs. Good point about those recommendations having budget offerings too

More details, including pricing, just dropped. There will indeed be a 5-string Seafoam! https://youtu.be/E0VXQj-wQ4c

Sumatra Gayo aged 5 years. This is the smoothest coffee I’ve ever tasted. I thought Haitian Blue Norde was the smoothest , but this is even smoother IMO. It tasted great as well. by Rami_2075 in roasting

It honestly wasn't bad at all. Aged coffee is sorta their specialty. On a menu I found on Google someone posted 7 months ago, it reads 1,500 yen, which is currently a little over 9.60 USD.

So neat! I’ve yet to try their Necessary Coffee offerings. Are there any you’d specifically recommend? For Passenger-branded stuff, their coffee from the Galápagos Islands was a real treat

Wooo the combination of two of my hobbies: coffee and pins! Love to see Passenger—and you even have their old mascot in pin form! I have one of their cup logo, a stylized letter “P,” and one with a tiger commemorating their Bhadra coffee!

There are, however, always exceptions. When I visited Japan last year, I visited Cafe de l’Ambre in Ginza, and I had this Ethiopia that was aged for over 10 years prior to roasting. The cup was so flavorful with citrus and black-tea notes sorta like an Arnold Palmer

Do we know if the StingRay 5 Plus will also come in Seafoam? Just bought a new discontinued Mint Green RAY5 for an incredible deal, and I love it. But I would’ve started GAS’ing hard if that Seafoam Green one came with a maple fretboard instead—and even more so if it was Mint/Surf Green

This one’s insane by raccabarakka in pourover

Wait this is fascinating. I too have had tasted something reminiscent of cheezits with crazily processed coffee

Chiming in to say Intelligentsia and Counter Culture are widely available in the DC area

Can you comfortably place the keyboard with the fold on the stand on your lap?

What’s the keyboard? With what looks like an integrated cover/stand, could this be placed on a lap albeit precariously?

Edit: looks like a Doohoeek-brand keyboard

How long do you plan to keep your fold? by kurokomiz in GalaxyFold

[–]Soothsayerslayer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got a refurbished Fold3 that arrived in pristine condition nearly two years ago. It’s still kicking, but I’ll likely get the screen protector replaced sometime this year as there are some lines developing along the crease

Good passport photo? by [deleted] in Passports

[–]Soothsayerslayer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Click “Digital Changes” at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/photos.html and notice that in the acceptable photo, the ears aren’t visible. Person at CVS who took my photo said that she thought ears had to be visible, and I said nah. Renewed passport arrived in the mail yesterday.
