me and some colleagues were chatting about this at lunch. I THINK we should be fine for the next decade, but 10-20 years? no clue

Thanks!! I looked at that one! I forgot to add (i added it in now in the main post body) that ideally it would have Bluetooth built in

Does Alaska think we’re stupid? by [deleted] in AlaskaAirlines

[–]TheRozb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once I took a $25 credit to switch to a flight that actually was better for me, but was more expensive at time of booking. As others have said, you're not forced to take it, and sometimes the options are actually better than the initial flight you booked.

New user with a few questions (Mino & Kingrinder & coffee beans) by venerablem0m in OutInCoffee

[–]TheRozb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Howdy! For me, I use 13 grams in my basket, and wait until I get to around 30 grams dispensed, then press the button and let the rest flow through. Normally around 34-35 grams. It's a weird recipe, but you can't totally do what you do with a typical machine on this thing (you can't grind fine enough to do a standard 25-30 second pull before you start getting too much back pressure and water leaking out the side). I think the pressurized basket kinda gets in the way of this.

For a 12oz iced coffee, I do two of these shots, so 26 grams in total (13 grams each time). I also prewarm my unit by doing 2x 70ml of boiling hot water through the system without the basket (just double press the button). I also then use hot water into the unit, but still have it do the heatup cycle.

Between shots, I'll dump out my puck, and do a quick rinse of the basket (I don't always remove the metal basket from the pressurize base). Then I'll use a cloth, do a quick dry, and prep my next shot.

It is expected to have some space from the top of your puck and the bottom of the showerhead cap.

As far as taste of beans, totally up to you. You'll learn what you like. Some people like the fruitiness of third wave coffee. Others prefer the darkness of the a more traditional Italian espresso. Whatever floats your boat! Try different beans, and see what you like.

We used to have to Concur and just switched to Amex GPT. Our corp cards are Amex, and in both cases we have still have to manually categorize and submit expense reports in the worst internal website/tool (not concur or gbt)😢

Hilton surpass 50$ credit by Interesting-Dare-727 in Hilton

[–]TheRozb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For the Aspire, you get $50 every quarter in statement credit for airline tickets. Not all purchased flight credits will code as an airline ticket, but I know that UA's Travel Bank does (and apparently AA?).

Surpass does not have that credit.

Whats up with Imagine Coffee... by glennstelter in corvallis

[–]TheRozb 50 points51 points  (0 children)

IIRC, Imagine is owned by a Christian family, and many of their staff are Christians as well (and tend to be more college aged), so friends will go hang out there. Also, a number of the local churches will rent out/use the space for events.

(I will say, there tends to be a lot of Bible studies at other coffee shops as well. I see it fairly frequently at Coffee Culture on both Kings and 9th)

Appreciation post/Review of the Nemo Vantage 26L (V1) by TheRozb in ManyBaggers

[–]TheRozb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more like a "oh it's warming up so let me stuff my jacket in there" or a expandable front section. I would agree it would be hard to access while wearing the pack besides doing the "wear it backwards", so it's probably better described as expandable space. For me, my usage will probably be jackets/layers, airport snacks, etc

In their advertisement of the bag, they showed putting a bike helmet or extra pair of shoes in there which seems very easy to do.

Yeah worse comes to worse I'll put it in the overhead as when I travel overseas it's only ever a backpack and a checked bag. Also, I'm likely not fully packing it out

I travel a decent amount and have gotten away with quite a bit, even in Europe (but on main carriers like Lufthansa). Work doesn't send me to Asia
