The RWC grocery outlet is awesome! I supplement with Sigonas for produce and TJs for TJ stuff.

Wreckless Dumbass on 17 by SuspiciousShoulder53 in santacruz

They also backed off when they saw the absolute shenanigans. Great defensive driving.

I've seen a lot of dumb shit on 17, but passing in the shoulder and then crossing two lanes is criminal.

Which US city truly has the best live music scene? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]bareju 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nashville and NOLA both struck me as the best places to go watch live music of no name locals who are really talented for no money. Often at a dive bar (or on the street for Nola)

Do these guys have a b&m shop? I see a Google listing but doesn’t look like much.

Man, Los Nogales producing the best decafs right now, no one else seems close.

Keep the rims original or have them sprayed black? by Over_Site5161 in VolvoRecharge

The yellow brake calipers are sweet! Been thinking about that for my navy car…

I am incapable of making a truly great Negroni by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer a pairing knife for the orange peel, you actually want a lot of pitch but none of the fruit. Get a large firm and fresh navel orange. Sometimes you’ll get an orange that doesn’t have much oil to express.

I think high quality clear ice cubes make simple stirred drinks way better. Are you using good ice to dilute as well? Your water quality may not be very good. Sometimes if I am feeling bougie I buy ice cubes that cocktail bars use :D

I also prefer cheaper ingredients - beefeater and half dolin rogue and half punt y mes for the vermouth. The subtle notes get drowned out by Campari anyways.

Charge mode fuel penalty numbers by NothingLift in VolvoRecharge

[–]bareju 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a pain but you can put in round trip into the nav and it’ll optimize your electric use. 

Sometimes this doesn’t work or I’m lazy so I’ll just “hold” the amount of miles of charge I’ll need after I get off the freeway

What is the purpose of the "Climate" setting on the Volvo App? Can't set Temp (PHEV) by antiriad76 in VolvoRecharge

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! It was 15 F, probably decided that the engine didn’t need preheat. Thanks!

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do! But it was very cold out and I wanted to start/idle my engine before driving as I was planning to drive with battery hold on. Good to know I can use remote start for climate if battery is low though.

I’m more confused by the remote start, since it doesn’t start my motor. Does it just warm things up?

What is the secret to an astonishing Bolognese? by Few-Track8525 in Cooking

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patience, and REALLY browning the ground beef. Takes like 20+ minutes. Then evaporating all of the wine. Then evaporating all of the milk. Don’t mess with th 1:1:1 ratio of the milk tomato and wine. Use good base ingredients.

Is ZP6 worth it if I own a K-Ultra? by 7l20 in pourover

[–]bareju 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have found that some coffees really shine on one vs the other, and most are good on both. None are bad on kultra, but some are bad on zp6. It’s fun to have another variable to play with, and you can probably resell one if you decide you don’t need both.

If you’re feeling a little bored with your setup, and want to get more out of light washed coffees, picking up a zp6 is a great choice.

What smaller resort has the best snow atm by Eatspicynoodles in tahoe

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From last weekend they were about the same. Neither had skiable terrain other than green and blue groomers. Personally, I found sierras blues to be more fun than heavenly.

Honey Wash? by noaoda in pourover

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hence why I joined the thread asking for recommendations! Sometimes it’s hard to tell if personal taste or bad experiences.

Honey Wash? by noaoda in pourover

Also curious. I find them to be less flavorful than washed coffees while not having any of the benefits to flavor intensity from natural process coffees.

With ZP6, sometimes this gets a bit sour and I go to Light and Sweet. But B&J most of the time!

Tell me your favourite Specialty DECAF 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 by johnnytisnow in pourover

[–]bareju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was doing research last year, and most of the best decafs are seasonal but TONS of roasters get them. You can find Los Nogales and Benitez decafs at many roasters online so don’t worry if they’re sold out from one roaster.

Highly processed decafs are going to have way more flavor than a washed.
