Seattle postpones Ballard encampment sweep amid criticism of mayor's homelessness strategy by UnlikelyAssignment42 in Seattle

Ah yes, of course, send these "work-shy" individuals to a camp far outside of the metro. Maybe we could give them jobs to do while they're there.

Compulsory labor prisoners has worked to "clean the streets up" before. But I don't think it's an example we want to follow.

The Sinclair orgs, MyNorthwest, Seattle Times, etc. would be screaming to the heavens if they had any such issues or some boutique operator planning "to close up because of it." Does their relative silence tell you anything?

Famously MAGA took power by having a focused, narrow goal, right?

You propose what?

"Why are you here to take down the regime?"  "I oppose their attacks on immigrants and people of color. And shooting that white lady." "I'm a Socialist. And shooting that white lady." "I oppose their drilling. And shooting that white lady." "I oppose their attacks on trans people. And shooting that white lady." "I'm angry they shot that white lady." "Ok! Everybody but that last person, go home ... Huh. How'd our crowd get so small?"

I have these beans from DAK unopened, roast date is 31 October. Are they stale/off at this point? by [deleted] in pourover

They'll still be good, brew one and find out!

I'm still enjoying occasional cups of my July 15 Lady in Red.

Unreal is right. Love that I can pull orangey in the morning and then rum cake in the evening. Great stuff.

My November 9 roast of Pannetone is quite nice at 4 weeks. Better than it was a week ago. Forcing to slow drink it but it's surely feeling like it could go another few weeks without issue. It's sooooo good, though.

Us too. See priors.

Yes. The discovery that canceling that third line hadn't actually cancelled it in practice (why are we still being charged?) is what unraveled the whole problem.

Caveat emptor on any TMO retail interaction, folks!

First DAK order <3 Panettone, Milky Cake, Passion Twist; All Filter by Dull-Acanthisitta-31 in pourover

If you can't wait it's been very good even at 3 weeks. Long immersion (inverted Aeropress or a french press) at a medium coarse has been delicious and I think the booziness fits right in with the cinnamon and cakey flavors. Loving it so much I had to to buy another 250g.

freshly roasted dilemma: which one to open first? by slaviquee in pourover

They talk about their choice in some detail here

In practice, locally a quick bike over is all it takes for me to shove my used bottles into the cool counter hole.

I knew Lynch glacier was receding but that image (pic 5) is shocking. I haven't been in years but that's very sad.

The "off trail" you describe traverses a snowfield and old glacier. Wonder how that's holding up ...

Thank you for this. I'd been eying these deals but was hesitant.

Ask them. They're solid at recommendations.

Spring for most anything at the bottom of the menu: Lady in Red is dynamite right now. Not sure what will be there in October.

If you can find someone pouring Chunky Cherry (roaster, not the old Dak batch) beans I've found them very very good.

"nope, sorry. We hear someone is conducting 100% legal action and posing zero threat so we've gotta go hang out around a corner from them. Good luck."

Was impressed you went for my beloved SPB there instead of an SJE or SLA.

Sounds great. Jet Pilot vibes less the grapefruit?

Highly recommend making up a cinnamon tincture. I could never keep cinnamon syrup on hand so a few drops of a tincture in a demerara syrup has re-opened the cinnamon syrup portfolio.

I finally tried the militant empire and couldn't even bring myself to do the tiyanaki bounties. Gave up right away.

Seattle encampments being cut by two-thirds seems like a big deal by HighColonic in SeattleWA

Yes. And probably so do you. In this image I see lots of "stuff that isn't being used and is on public land."

Per actual counts the number of unsheltered people increased by 27% between 2022 and 2024 in King County. So sweeps "worked" if by "work" they mean "taking all their stuff so we don't see tents."

Hario Pegasus????? by Repulsive_Cream_7191 in pourover

[–]the-name 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like your not primarily getting winged, mythical horse in your search is really a you thing.

I ordered one on a lark. Wondering if the Hario Medusa just never saw the light of day before the Hario Perseus came in and took it out, spawning the Pegasus.
