And the video chats were choppy and black and white and with delayed audio. Those were the days...

Actually, to Lync first. Then Teams. All three suck.

Trillian was amazing, until it was overtaken by malware. At least that's what my antivirus at the time said. Also, proprietary, so I passed on it after finding pidgin.

Just like a real adult human

Have you tried to force an unexpected reboot?

Careful, Users. TMobile is large enough to go the Boeing route, and start making people disappear. Then, Users, your Lifetime Price Lock will be literally void.

Although, it would also be void if tmo died--err... disappeared...

The doors pop off midflight, now would the best time to hold your breath.

So, what does it take to emigrate to Germany? Asking for a friend...

 

I though it could be fun to list our least favorite roasts from the past week, maybe with a description on why you disliked it. This way we could round out the "what are you brewing" posts with a sort of "I won't be brewing that again" type of end cap.

Personally, I find it fun sometimes to try the black sheep. After all, my least favorite could be your favorite.

Feel free to downvote the post if you don't think this would benefit the community. If we get to an overall point value in the negatives, I will unpin the post and we can move forward with it in the rearview.

 

What are you brewing this weekend?

Post pictures, names, descriptions, recommendations, whatever you want to share that you think will help others.

May your brew be satisfying and your weekend restful.

This was delicious. Mostly flavor notes of vanilla and cocoa, maybe some floral hints, too.

Forgot to add, this is from Volcanica Coffee.

 

20.00g in. Don't even know how that happened, but it's perfect.

 
 

My daily is the kb below. Keychron C1, Fekker Panda switches, foam mod, o-rings, GSA keycaps.

Nothing special, but a very pleasant typing experience.

The above kb is a Moergo Glove80. I'm still getting used to it, so it's not my daily.

This was inside the bill of a baseball cap with the word "MARINES" on the front. I tried changing the batteries, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Does anyone know what this is?

It has a button on one side. But new batteries didn't reveal it's purpose. I'm thinking it's too corroded now to work. I know that round thing is a simple speaker or buzzer, but I don't know (a) what sound it's intended to make and (b) why it was sewn into the bill of a baseball cap.

Internals, image 1:

External, backside:

Cap pictures:

Edit: added images of the internals.

Edit 2: added a small description of the button, and why I didn't just test it with new batteries (I did, but it doesn't work). So, basically, all I know.

Edit 3: added a picture of the backside of the casing.

Edit 4: Adding pictures of the cap itself.

Thank you, everyone, for all of your input. If I'm ever able to get this thing working, I'll add a video of the device and it's audio.

 

One of the local shoppes has an arcade style room in the back, perfect for a family day. The adults get their coffee, beit espresso or brew, and the children get their blended chocolate milks or whatnots.

I got my regular, espresso macchiato, and it was delicious! This shoppe seriously knows how to 'pull' it off (get it? Pull? Like a shot). I'll let myself out...

 

I was prepping an Americano, and the Peet's Major Dickason had a stick in it. I have never seen this before on a national brand like Peet's.

Edit: I'm going to extend the contest to mid-Aug to give time for the newest Reddit refugees to participate.

The original icon from r/espresso is great.

However, I thought that we can customize this community's icon every so often with a little contest.

Here are the rules:

  1. This goes without saying, but be kind.

  2. You should be subscribed. After all, it should to be your community, if you're going to affect it.

  3. The image you submit needs to be your OC. It doesn't have to be a shot you pulled, but it does need to be a picture you took.

  4. [edit] Sign the picture on one of the corners or anywhere else that doesn't "take away" from the image[, if you want to. If you don't, I'll sign it for you before we use it. If you'd rather not display your username on the picture, let me know in the post, and I won't use it. Sorry for the poor foresight with this very basic privacy thing. That's my bad.]

  5. Post your submission as a comment.

  6. Upvote your 2-3 favorite(s) and downvote your one least favorite.

Let's give it ~~30 days?~~ to mid-August. At the end, the image with the highest votes will become the new community icon until the next contest.

Have fun!

 

I'm still dialing it in, but at 11.36g in / 41.73g out, it was pretty good. Still not there, but closer than I thought on the first pull. I vaguely taste a fruit (apple maybe?) and some cacao. Not so much milk chocolate, as stated on the bag, and it's a bit more acidic that I would expect from this roaster, but both of those points could be just it not being dialed in yet.

 

Following another user's advice, I pulled this shot longer than the standard, to 41.45g (11.36g in).

This is the same super acidic Blue Blottle Bright from earlier, but this was so much less acidity. I can't say it was a great shot, as I must just not be a fan of Blue Blottle (or, at least, this blend), but it much much better. I wouldn't mind having this one again.
