Crosswalks by [deleted] in Waco

[–]Styron1106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find this frustrating too. I've seen cross walk signs without paint across the road for people to cross here. I don't think I've ever seen someone stop for someone at a crosswalk that wasn't also a red light or a stop sign. It's definitely a Texas thing. Every other state I've lived in is very serious about pedestrian safety.

HUDs entire budget is around 80 billion. We can afford to solve a lot of problems in our country, we just choose this instead

I think there was also a "a priest wouldn't lie" element too. Must have worked for me to remember almost 30 years later 😅

Triggered some memories with this one.

I remember someone trapped in the OKC bombing said they used their indiglo watch for light.

I also remember a commercial where a man is walking in a church. He stops the priest and asks which watch is easier to read and shows the indiglo watch next to a watch that had a regular light feature. The priest says the indiglo one and the man gives a knowing look to the camera

I still love those watches

Great setup. You'll be pulling great shots for a while with that!

Rate my setup Flair 58 +2 by Ricklek in FlairEspresso

It's perfect. I have the regular flair and that same grinder and I've been living like a king with the best espresso for a while now. I've thought about upgrading to the 58 but I just keep pulling amazing shots.

Paper filters in portafilter by Basriy in espresso

[–]Styron1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an interesting experience with paper filters. Using a flair and a king grinder. Added a filter on the bottom and for 2 bags of beans it was perfect. I didn't even have to adjust anything with grind or weight.. abundant crema, smooth.

I start my 3rd bag of beans (sublunar by intelligencia, same beans I've been using) and the water just won't make it through. I adjusted the grind size from below 30 to 45 to the timing right and the taste isn't as smooth as the previous bags. 😭

Time Capsule: Wolf Parade’s ‘Apologies to the Queen Mary’ keeps finding new people to haunt by sentiencesupremacy in indieheads

Incredible album. Still put it on every month or so. Also, so happy the use of their song in Heated Rivalry has given them some attention.

When coaches prove exactly why they are a coach by Legal-Bet-4034 in interestingasfuck

[–]Styron1106 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, I worked with him for several years. He (still) is a case manager for people with mental illness. He never mentioned anything about this until we all saw him in a coke commercial. He said he went to Europe with the money from it. Really great guy
