Grr... the coffee that I ordered is not quite the coffee that was delivered and the one that I wanted most urgently is the one that got replaced with double of a different coffee. Hopefully they didn't double sell my coffee and I'll still be able to get it, but the person responsible isn't answering the phone so hopefully they notice and respond to an email promptly.
@MyriadTribulations @fribbledom Sadly, remote work and flex hours wasn't really a thing back then and the commute to the next city over would have been rough. Not to mention school during working hours. Wouldn't surprise me if the kids these days are getting away with that, though (and good for them).
@fribbledom The first time I got a message from a recruiter I had to send back a message that pretty much boiled down to, "dude, I'm only 12, someone's going to notice that at the interview."
Our COVID czar (my mother, a former nurse who has relevant educational and professional experience to interpret the local data for us) has authorized re-opening the seating area, so I'll be bringing chairs back out later today. If customers are willing to behave responsibly over the next few weeks as cases are expected to continue dropping, we'll be more likely to add more chairs, but given how people were acting before I removed the chairs last time I'm not optimistic.
I'm not going to buy one right now but I kind of want to get something like this some time and make Typica work with it. I think this could be a very good machine to hook into a coffee roaster. The analog input lines look like they should be upgrades over what's at my lab roaster without ripping that up too much and the dual RS-485 ports would make hooking up to a lot of things made these days pretty trivial, and then there are uses for lots of the rest of the IO.
@technomancy You could perhaps just redefine famous and/or contact?
That service is, of course, broken in oh so many other ways as well, but all of the alternatives also suck and my sister (who deals with this the most) already knows how to find stuff in the current system.
