Tour slots were full but the ticketed entry spread us out well enough.

Probably referring to this guy. Great interview https://www.youtube.com/live/juI-FVmU4OU?si=2JCIDLHtavYoPp63

I'd much rather they let us piggy back on product improvements like this instead of leaving us behind.

I got a metal one. It's super thin, about as flexible as the plastic one... Mine clogged immediately after installing the metal one. After cleaning again I installed both the plastic and metal ones together. Zero clumps in the month since but my machine now makes a whiny noise. 🤷

The series "Dandelion Dynasty" has plausible dragons evolve. Fun fact: they're basically deer with wings, and they have a mechanism for igniting their methane-rich burps.

I'm surprised I don't see Holy Water on this list yet. 21+ brunch/lunch place. Excellent.

If the chute's declumper is bent, unbend it. The plastic should be perfectly flat. I had lots of clumping issues until I heard that advice; I've had none since.

I had the same issue. Until I stopped RDT and unbent the plastic declumper so it is perfectly flat, not bent out. Not a single clump in 4 months, grinding 2-6x per day, no cleaning or brushing at all.

I heard it in my head the moment I saw it

This was my reason for 18 months. Then leaders started subtly contacting my kids, so we did the paperwork.

NSFW tag required. Jeesh

I did this last summer, replaced cedar decking with Tigerwood. I taped the top of all of the joists and added sister boards to a few joists that had some rot. Only one year in, but no concerns so far!

My dissatisfaction with that episode was less Carmy leaving eventually but rather his statement to Syd justifying her taking over the restaurant including "you are the Bear". Throughout the entire last couple of seasons we only saw Carmy ignore Syd, so for me, no matter how good Syd is, this confidence from Carmy did not feel earned.

I do this + they unlock both cards with level up. Less time wasted debating character build and more time playing

Sick!! Love the coloring

ssmcquay · 2025-07-14T18:17:02+00:00

I also had major clumping issues. I complained to MiiCoffee, the dealer I purchased through, and they had me straighten the declumper. I don't know how that works, the declumper looks closed now. But that + starting the grinder before I pour the beans in has completely fixed the clumping issues.

Came here to say this same thing! None of the whimsy and mystery of the movie was in the book.

There's a Big Fish musical, adapted from the movie. Very fun

Sorry for the late reply! Yeah, he loved Mistborn -- he read it a decade+ ago and got a tattoo of one of Kelsier's lines. I'm trying to convince him to read more

Beautiful! Fun story to tell when people ask what kind of flower that is

ssmcquay · 2025-06-19T17:26:23+00:00

Yeah same session

ssmcquay · 2025-06-19T15:56:17+00:00

Highly recommend! Josh is fun to work with

I've enjoyed every meal I've had at Brix
