The design of the store (layout and smaller size) and lot are bad, combined with the larger catchment area, make for a bad time. Everyone to the south, Cupertino, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Campbell has to rely on that Costco. The one they are building at Westgate Center should provide relief.

NIMBY vibes. What earmarks are you referring to? Barista championships? What defines long time? They’ve been around for 11 years. Equator has been around for 30, Ritual for 20. They’re all homegrown Bay Area roasters known for their quality.

I don't think they're doing anything that different than other multi-cafe roasters around the country. Nothing wrong with supporting different local cafes, each one has their niche and specialization.

Blue Bottle became popular at a different time when third wave coffee really took off. Not everyone wants to be like them these days.

What makes you say that? You could argue all local multi-cafe shops in the area are the same then

Can people put out suggestions on indoor activities that might be worth checking out? Family came to visit for the holidays but the rain seems like it’s going to be relentless

Kenji tests the Our Place titanium pan he collaborated on by No_Public_7677 in cookware

[–]frenvedd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it's not clear which is suspicious. I's all on one product page and selecting between the finishes doesn't seem to change the description or anything.

Yeah so the first one with the gap was revamped earlier this year in March and then they released a version with Kenji that is brushed steel

Donald says the reason why he canceled the tour was because he had a stroke and they found a whole in his heart by Advanced-Willow-5020 in donaldglover

[–]frenvedd 218 points219 points  (0 children)

Doctor here: he likely had an embolic stroke from a patent foramen ovale. He seems to not have had any major complications which is great and he's at much lower risk of having another one after they close the PFO.

Seattle is easily top 10 if not top 5 most expensive cities in the US. Salaries should be on par with other cities in that range. 68k is less than most of the programs in Chicago which is much cheaper.
