The cat's getting into something.

One of my suppliers that I've had keeping an eye out for a nice Kenyan coffee has gotten back to me and basically said I don't want to buy the ones they just got in. I'm not going to buy any coffee just so I can say that I have it (same reason I'm currently out of coffee from Papua New Guinea). Given the choice, I'd rather disappoint the customer by not selling them what they want than disappointing them by tricking them into buying something they expect should be better than it is.

Updated the shop's web site with a couple new coffees. I still have a little bit of the previous coffee from Sumatra and the previous Decaf Ethiopia so the new ones aren't on the shelves here yet, but if you order those through the web site you'll get the new ones now.

Registration is open for my next online coffee roasting class. There are several listed on the page. The one I'm teaching is "Roasting Styles Exploration".

@quad It's a little different in coffee, but kind of similar. I don't expect anybody to know how to do the job until after some on the job training, but conversations are core to doing the job well.

@quad When I see something like that on a resume I make a point of asking about what they're enjoying. So far I've been unimpressed with the answers. (Trash taste is not disqualifying, but if they can't engage in that conversation after putting that on their resume I'm not going to hold out much hope for their ability to communicate with customers)

By giving up on Xiao I now have enough wishes saved up that I'd need extremely bad luck to not pull pyro Youmu after work today. I think that was the right call. Spamming plunge attacks is fun, but slapping enemies with a cute ghost is better. #GenshinImpact

@pagrus Voted something else because I think mixtape.

Business idea - Please steal:

Online classes and coaching for famous people (celebrities, politicians, major award winners) aiming to give them the skills to know when they should just shut up.

@chmod777 My inner gamer looks at that last option and wonders if it's a corruption of Zenon (Overlord)

One of the last treasure chests I found before hitting 100% exploration in every currently released region in Genshin Impact. A character standing on the pressure plate wasn't heavy enough so I used Zhongli (who I mainly pulled for puzzle solving purposes), Amber (who is totally viable in the end game content, don't believe the tier lists), and Baron Bunny to get enough weight on both panels. Some day I hope to get Amber's 4th constellation for double the dancing bunny.

@chmod777 I feel like I want to vote for Xena here.

@wzqtparor@mstdn.io @shahaan@eldritch.cafe That works, too.

@shahaan@eldritch.cafe It's obviously a cat cafe.

No, I'm not fixing the typo. Yup, typo. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

If they were going to keep a thing around from Lantern Right, I would have gone with this decoration, not a weirdly half deleted illumiscreen.
