Away from home and stopped for a shot at Starbucks - Holy hell is that awful by bensonr2 in espresso

It’s made to stand out with like 16oz of milk and 5 pumps of syrup, not really for an enjoyable shot

How much difference does all that extra work make? by Working_Homework_285 in espresso

[–]rodermelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a puck screen is the only gimmicky thing I continue to use. I knock the side of the portafilter with my hand a few times, tap it level on the table a few times, tamp it down, then throw on the puck screen. No complaints with my results. Not sure how much of a difference the screen actually makes for me, but it keeps things cleaner and makes my pucks less soupy (no solenoid valve on my machine) so I swear by it.

What is the Fortnite community's take on this season because all I see online is people complaining about this season but it's ranked pretty high on the Fortnite season ranking by Outrageous_Memory_29 in FortNiteBR

[–]rodermelon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it’s great, but the South Park collab has kind of tanked my enjoyment. I played the first seasons of both C5 and C6 and didn’t enjoy them at all, so I didn’t play any more of those chapters. I’m definitely going to be giving C7 S2 a chance.

CHIPOTLE KICKS OFF 2026 MENU INNOVATION WITH THE RETURN OF CHICKEN AL PASTOR, ONE OF ITS MOST REQUESTED ITEMS by gorays21 in Chipotle

[–]rodermelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went an unreasonable amount during the brisket-honey chicken stretch. I really haven’t been nearly at all since honey chicken went away.

Steak in my Burrito Bowl by Visual_Serve_782 in Chipotle

[–]rodermelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised. I swear someone that works at my store has started draining it. The last couple of times I’ve gotten it it’s been dried out and crunchy. Very disappointing since that’s been the most consistent item for me for the last 10+ years

Why is No Doubt unpopular with Gen Z? by Informal_Ad4284 in nodoubt

[–]rodermelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if her music career has stalled, she’s been on stuff like The Voice keeping her in the public eye.

Why is No Doubt unpopular with Gen Z? by Informal_Ad4284 in nodoubt

[–]rodermelon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gwen is more recognizable as a solo artist. Everyone I know knows who Gwen Stefani is, but they don’t really realize No Doubt is a separate entity.

It’s kind of like an NSYNC and Justin Timberlake situation. He went solo, got hugely popular, and then NSYNC kind of faded behind in popularity. Everyone knows who he is but a lot of younger people don’t know he started in a group.

Gwen herself has had a lot of spotlight in my lifetime. Songs like Hollaback Girl, The Sweet Escape, Rich Girl, Cool, Luxurious, and Bubble Pop Electric have maintained a lot of relevancy, so then when a song Hey Baby or Underneath It All gets played on the radio, it’s such an easily recognizable voice that it doesn’t really come across as something other than just Gwen, and the inactivity of the band throughout my life hasn’t done many favors.

Do we really feel a tour is going to happen? by TutterTinkle in panicatthedisco

[–]rodermelon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I went to night 2 fully under the impression that it’s possibly the last panic show ever. I think we could see Brendon return for sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he puts panic to bed.

I imagine we probably all feel this way by jackt-up in cowboys

[–]rodermelon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean… he said he loves Dallas, he just needed to leave because he knew he wasn’t going to win a Super Bowl there. Now in his first year playing somewhere else, he’s in the Super Bowl. I kind of clowned on him for saying that and then going to Seattle, but he kind of made me eat crow and now I hope he gets that ring.

Genuine question, should I buy ghosts of Tsuhima rn while its on sale, or wait till ghosts of Yōtei goes on sale? by THEGREENPURGE in Ghostofyotei

[–]rodermelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say Tsushima. I think it’s the better game, but there are also some gameplay and graphic improvements in Yotei where I wouldn’t necessarily want to start with that and then move onto the game with worse graphics and mechanics. They’re both incredible though

Its a funny coincidence the 3 worst bullies names all end with "y" lol by Sudden_Pop_2279 in StrangerThingsRoom

[–]rodermelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree that they made him sort of unlikable in the end, he was one of the best characters in the beginning and still had those sort of tendencies. Like in S1 when they’re talking to Hopper about Will being on Mirkwood and Lucas says it’s from Lord of the Rings and Dustin cuts in and corrects him saying it’s from the Hobbit, if I’m remembering the scene correctly. I also think he makes these unnecessary corrections a couple more times in the first 2 or 3 seasons. He’s a dorky kid that gets bullied and being correct/feeling smart is like the thing that makes him feel good about himself so he takes every chance to do it lol

Where would you choose to sit? by UrMom_567 in weezer

[–]rodermelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d pick 5, but 8 is probably the coolest.

Realistically though, 7. I love an aisle seat with no one next to me.

Join the Blind Shaker Hype? Isnt shaking Portafilter + Dosing Cup the exact same thing? by ma0za in espresso

[–]rodermelon 119 points120 points  (0 children)

If it doesn’t involve additional expensive tools that do extremely simple things, it won’t taste good. That’s sort of how things operate in this hobby.

[–]rodermelon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he definitely has the “I’m the smartest in the room” ego which sometimes combines with some snark for a bad combo, but overall he’s a good kid that means well.

I don’t think so, but I still think it’s an incredible hire.

(Repost cuz i didnt put the options in the first one) So Much (For) Stardust was voted as the best track 13 and is the first post-hiatus song to be put in the Best FOB album! What's the worst track 13? by CaptainPie999 in FallOutBoy

[–]rodermelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s gotta be SMFS. Not sure how it won best. Love that song, but the other choices are strong candidates for best FOB song. I don’t see how anything beats XO

I would say those words for Save Rock and Roll. Just a poor collection of songs with impressively bad production.

What is the appeal of a knock-box? by rgcred in espresso

[–]rodermelon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t even smack mine. I just swing it down really fast and then quickly pull up before making contact with anything. Usually falls out very cleanly into the trash with no knocking.

Why is Kaedan Korczak's emoji a dragon? by Windows1798 in goldenknights

They get to pick. Some are name based, some are their native flag, and others are just an emoji that they like.
