At this point I'd be looking at sourcing another coffee that works well for the class, designing a new set of roasting plans with that coffee in mind, updating the lecture with the new bleeding edge stuff I've got access to that didn't exist last time I taught the class (you wouldn't expect it, but I routinely operate about 2 years in the future), and then closer to the class time doing all of the roasting, packing, shipping involved in that.

I've been asked if I want to do another online roasting class in March/April. I'm a little on the fence here as I do enjoy doing that, but it's a huge amount of prep work.

@vogon In fairness, mathematicians have struggled quite a bit with that question.

We're advertising the results of the fundraiser as $685.86, but we've rounded that up to $800 plus another $25 check that someone left in the donation box. There are people who will see the not round number and decide to push the number up with a post-event donation.

Last night's dream had an unusually large cast of characters. Also, a huge hole in the plot.

The cat is vibrating on my foot.

Based on sales so far, it looks like this year's fundraiser won't bring in as much money as previous years one day version of the event (an unrealistically huge number of last minute online orders could change that), but it's still several hundred dollars. The food collection barrel, however, is a lot fuller than it often is.

Only about 9 hours left to get in on the fundraiser for the food bank. Orders placed before January 4 (Central time zone) will have 20% donated. Orders placed today will be roasted and mailed tomorrow.

@badtuple @fribbledom This. There are games with so many distinct skills that unlock that I can barely remember what combination of button presses and gestures activates which skill when I'm actively playing the game. If I come back a year later there's no way I get back up to speed without just completely starting over.

Punk says it's time for belly rubs.

Removed Holiday Blend from the web site. I'm not making any more of the 2020 edition of that blend.

There's still time to get in on the 20% of sales going to the food bank (that's going on through tomorrow) if you need some coffee and want that purchase to support a worthy cause.

I'm not going to do it, but some days I really feel like putting an extra word charge on the menu. You read the menu, order a chai, you pay the price for a chai, but the borderline nonsensical "chai tea latté" costs extra. Maybe also a surcharge for translation from starbonics.

Last of the limited edition Peruvian coffee sold today. I might have a different LE coffee around Valentine's Day.

@morganth I have also observed this to be a thing. It's probably why the kids these days turn on the closed captions.

@steinbring If you get the right person taking your order, probably yes. Wouldn't hurt to ask.

tl;dr, co-op has a loading screen that murders my character before the battle even starts. Solo doesn't do that.

Solo, I can clear it in about a minute and a half with a party of Anemo traveller, Klee, Fischl, and Qiqi (and sometimes be at full health at the end of that). Nobody needs to yell at Klee.
