Replacement roaster part arrived but when I tried removing the old one I found something that's beyond what I should be handling myself. After a consult with the manufacturer we both agreed that I should call a gas technician to look at that. They suggested that I refer to it as a "gas fired appliance" since nobody knows what a "coffee roaster" is, but I called the guy who did the gas install on my little roaster (also a regular customer).

It feels like the world is vibrating around me. That can't be good.

Looks like trapped chests exist again.

@gnomon It's probably easier to just learn how to use a torch.

@gnomon Is there an optimal toasting time to bread mass? This might warrant investigation.

@gnomon Maybe a load cell? Bagels are heavier.

@gnomon If I increase the setting it burns my bagels.

@gnomon hot bread

Toasters should have one setting. That setting should produce toast.

DST confuses my cat.

Roaster part didn't arrive yesterday so I'm spending all day today roasting tiny batches of coffee for orders. USPS tracking says they'll deliver the part for the big roaster tomorrow.

When you go to the polls Tuesday, remember that alt-right is just another way of saying wrong.

Tried the demo for the new Tetris game. I enjoyed it, found the VR mode enhanced the experience. The cat, however, is not a fan.

This is such an odd trend in junk email.

I think I want a hanging chair for my library.

Persistent cold call scam person: People can't find your web site!

Me (in my head): And yet you managed to find it just fine.

Me (in real life): *hangs up phone*

@Satsuma There was also a tube of hot paste and a packet of sesame oil to add.

Some of the food on Korea Air flights is complicated. For one of the meals I was asked if I'd had it before and when I said no I got a big leaflet with step by step instructions on how to assemble the food from the ingredients presented on the tray. That was neat, though challenging in the limited amount of space in an economy seat.
