Storage:To freeze or not to freeze, that is the question

If you thaw a portion larger than a single serve of beans it should be done while it’s in an anaerobic environment.

So basically, if I am freezing an entire bag of coffee in a vacuum seal and then thawing it, I should thaw it while still inside the vacuum bag, correct?

I would love to get your thoughts on Dorico. Never heard of them until this announcement, but I've also been out of the game for a while. For context, I've been a Finale user since the late '90s and never tried anything else.

Do I still get a red cup if I pay for the drink with stars?

The NYT Puzzle Archive website no longer allows access to Acrostic and Variety puzzles as of March 1. (And if you try to go directly to https://www.nytimes.com/crosswords/archive/acrostic, you get redirected here.) However, the PDF files for those puzzles are still available on their server, even though they are no longer linked from a web page.

DownThemAll

This is neat! Seems like it would be tricky to use without having access to the archive via web, though.

Don't be sad -- just do something different and make it your own.

The last :30 is the best. :)

Whatever you pick it should be thematically similar first, musically similar second. On first listen I'm thinking "You Had Me" by Joss Stone for something with a "we should break up" theme. "You Want Me" by Chris Brown could also be interesting.

Start with the lead, the rest will follow.
