How many episodes of Star Trek feature plants that shoot at the away team? TOS has multiple.

@mal I would watch a show where a team of highly trained Trojan soldiers used a complex network of ropes and pulleys to animate a giant wooden war horse. It takes a lot of coordination to move such a weapon which is why the pilot needs to shout his attacks: a tradition that lives on in mecha pilots to this day.

@goat@hellsite.site My preferred birthday strategy is to have an excuse to be out of the country around that date and just not tell anybody wherever I end up.

Here's a though: let's NOT create the future depicted in Samurai Jack.

Versatility feels like an underappreciated quality in raw coffees. I'd much rather work with a coffee that's delicious across many different approaches to roasting than something that can only be at its best in a tiny window. The former can quickly be adapted to new needs while the latter is prone to a premature slide toward mediocrity.

The next Sumatran coffee I'll be selling performs nicely across a broad range of roast levels. I'm only picking one to sell but that's probably a good one to recommend for local home roasters who appreciate a cleaner expression of the traditional Sumatra flavor profile as it almost doesn't matter how you roast it. You're likely to get something tasty out of it.

Real Men™ don't need their masculinity affirmed by brands.

@professor_stoke So far they've left my tree alone. It's still smaller than the ones they've chopped down.

@professor_stoke It would be hypocritical for me to pursue that angle, but I will be expressing displeasure to my alderman (who is also a multiple times per day customer of mine).

@professor_stoke 195-205°F with few brew method specific exceptions.

@goat@hellsite.site Works here. It would be a lovely day were it not for the saw tank tree murderers roaming the streets of the city.
