Sometimes if I'm feeling classy I'll grind the rest and set them aside to make cold brew with later. That's more forgiving so I do it to use up old, stale beans that I end up with for whatever reasons.

Most of the time I don't care and I just top off the weight with whatever I'm using next and drink whatever comes out. It's usually fine, and when it's not it's at least novel.

I finished the main story last night and I basically agree with you. It's got plenty of issues, but overall it's fun. It is neither the 9/10 game of most reviews I saw nor the 4/10 game that people want it to be.

I think my main issue is that it wants to have a story about the underworld and how you can't trust anyone and you're a huge underdog just trying to survive but it doesn't want to commit to it. It feels thematically janky in places and ways that feel design-by-committee. It fills the shoes of Shadows of the Empire decently enough, but it feels like it was trying to be 1313 and failed.

If you can see a polar bear it's a threat.

They really aren't like other bear species. They are an apex predator in an area where basically nothing other than another polar bear can even harm them. They see most things as food, including humans.

As a bonus, Iceland has a pretty wonky ecosystem that needs protecting as is and polar bears aren't native to the island. They have to swim extreme distances to get there, making relocation extremely difficult and expensive, plus if they leave it be it will entirely disrupt other wildlife in the area, to say nothing of the human population.

As others have said, it sucks that it got shot, but Iceland especially has very limited options on how else to deal with it. Shoot on sight is, unfortunately, a very reasonable policy for them.

I find there's a trade-off in quality for my bone conduction vs in ear pods, especially if I'm moving a lot, but not blocking my hearing as much is often worth that trade-off. Plus it's more secure on my head, which is important when running/biking/swimming where it is not trivial to find a missing earbud in the grass however far back it fell.

Highly recommend for exercise, but I would never fully replace my earbuds with them because, frankly, they sound worse and look worse.

I know the story isn't really that interesting, and the anime adaptation isn't that brilliant, but I'm still excited. Solo Leveling is good at hyping me up and the hype only goes up from here.

I have read some bad fucking Star Wars books in my youth. Still love them. Even Darksaber, where a random hutt builds a death star because it's actually even easier to build planet-destroying weapons than Disney made it seem.

You are using a Masterlock 176. It can be opened with a Masterlock 176.

Yep, it sounds pretty much exactly like what people expected.

Honestly, I'm on a bit of a Star Wars kick lately and it's been long enough since I've played an Ubisoft open world to find some enjoyment, so I might pick this up. But it certainly doesn't sound like it's going to blow me away.

Yeah, there was a whole kerfuffle about it because all the files were still on the disc, therefore some jurisdictions re-rated the game to some version of adults only. Rockstar definitely did all the development work to get that sex in the game, they just decided not to show it in normal gameplay.

Love this light novel. Far too relatable.

Idk if it's just the angles but the art looks a little off. Hopefully works out well when it airs, just gives me weird vibes.

On the one hand, Ina would be a great roommate in that she never leaves her room.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I recall a room cleaning stream in which a certain priestess basically just spent a ton of time throwing cans that were lying around into a bag, which doesn't sound great.

I went from being glad this goofy-looking game is getting some attention to realizing I wasn't one of those 5000 wishlists already. Oops.

Game looks like it'll be a fun little experience, I'm looking forward to it!

This is cursed, and every added detail is more cursed. Holy moly.

Usually if I throw whey protein into something and it comes out chalky the problem is not enough liquid, you may have just reduced it too far. I'd probably try adding... chicken broth? Man that feels gross to suggest, but I imagine adding milk to Chinese food would be worse.

God speed on that diet, my man, you need it.

Yeah, it's not a no, it's basically a "not our problem, everyone does their own thing." Which is fair, but they normally have no problems loading extra work on public servants even though it's not their job, so it's a bit moot.

What a shame, you've contributed greatly to this conversation, you will be missed 🙏

I think it's complicated a bit by the fact that this was said on stage at one of their shows. I think canceling the tour is a gross overreaction, but with the current political climate (even ignoring the assassination attempt) I can understand some hesitancy to proceed if anyone is going to be associating them with calls for political violence.

All that said... based birthday wish, fully agree with Gass's joke.

What makes Alberta the most unfriendly? Like, I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't recall any major differences between the recent legislation in any of those three provinces.

This sounds much more like the reason. 12pm-3pm, plus some time before and after to prep and commute and stuff, plus these things often run long in my experience... It easily becomes most of the afternoon. If you have anything else you need to do that day it becomes a fairly big deal.

There actually is a Rick and Morty short in this style and with this director from a few years back.

It's not exactly peak Rick and Morty or anything, but it's so surreal and weird that it's kind of enthralling: https://youtu.be/-kdltv_CSHE

I agree with all of this. Except I would probably buy all the stupid shit I want because I have no concept of how all the stupid shit I want could amount to more than a rounding error.
