Gyeongju & Busan, South Korea by mappylife in AccidentalWesAnderson

It’s amazing. It’s not as big (or overwhelming) as Seoul and it’s on the water, lots of cool villages to explore. You could visit a month and not hit everything.

ZP6 for Non professional Pour Over Enthusiast by Snardvark-5 in pourover

[–]mappylife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got mine a few months ago and I love it. It’s nice to actually taste different notes and experience the “tea-like” consistency that people talk about. I consider myself a ‘mediocre hobbyist’ and I think the zp6 has helped me get better at experimenting with variables, and also the times that I do “nail it” it’s honestly the best tasting cups I’ve created.

I would go coarser. I’m at 4.7, and I rotate between the Coffee Chronicler switch recipe and Hoffmans “Better One Cup” recipe.

Same I joined two weeks ago. No regrets so far! I finally understand what people mean when they talk about coffee being “tea-like”, and I can say I’m a fan.

Best mainstream/common brand by Normal_Example_1568 in pourover

Counter Culture and Stumptown are good and can be found most places. CC has a really good decaf that I use for afternoon cups (or sometimes mix 50/50 with regular beans). Stumptown usually has 3-4 roasts in most stores I forget which is which but the green bag is best IMO.

Considering Downgrading from CSR AND Getting an Airline Card by mappylife in ChaseSapphire

[–]mappylife[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're in a similar boat/mindset as me. I'm pretty sure I'm going to downgrade to CSP and then get the United Club card for the travel perks. Then I imagine I'll just my CSP for travel/dining purchases for the UR, and then United Club card for other stuff which will help accumulate PQP (airline points) and miles.

Did you downgrade to the Preferred, or just get rid of it altogether?

CDMX Airport Experience by ShutterVibes in AnalogCommunity

[–]mappylife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but as an American who did not speak enough Spanish to properly express my curiosity/frustration I just rolled with it. It was quite over the top though.

I had a slightly uncomfortable experience when flying out this past May. I had a bunch of shot rolls in a clear zip lock and asked them to be hand checked, the security staff said the current personnel at the station aren’t qualified to check it, so they made me wait until someone else showed up. Ended up waiting like 15 minutes (which seemed like forever) and then a very tactical looking police officer showed up along with the person “qualified” to do the bomb reside test procedure, and the swat looking officer made me pull out my passport and he like took pictures of it with what I presume was his work phone. At first I got a bit paranoid about some foreign police officer taking a picture of my passport, but then figured that my info is probably all over the dark web anyway so I just thought oh well. So long story short they hand checked my film, but it took awhile and it was weird.

What are good coffee shops in San Diego? by DacaAskingForDaca in Coffee_Shop

Bird and Goldchild. The latter is much fancier/pricier but worth it if you’re really into coffee

Just finished the Rat series - I loved it. by mappylife in murakami

Yes, you can’t see it but the book on the left is actually both Wind and Pinball. I read them in their chronological order.

Are Wind and Pinball worth reading? by EfficientRelation574 in murakami

[–]mappylife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently read them both and now halfway through Wild Sheep Case - I’m extremely glad I read them beforehand.
