I've been somewhat shocked by how well one of my old #GenshinImpact videos is doing and decided to dig into that and find out why anybody was still finding it. Turns out if you type "Qiqi damage" into Google and click over to the Videos section my video is the top hit with enough description promising a 900K combined damage hit. Here's the copy of it on PeerTube.

Working on new coffees. The Sumatran is quite good and is now available for sale on the web site. https://wilsonscoffee.com/products/sumatra.html

@fribbledom Which answer is the right one for yes but the prints are extremely faded because it needs toner that I keep putting off buying?

Another couple thousand pounds of coffee just got delivered. Nice day for unloading that.

Espresso machines repairs have been finished. One of them had a switch with a bit of the plastic not all there that they didn't have a replacement in stock yet but there's another identical switch in the machine that nobody ever touches and isn't used for anything so the switches just got swapped so the one that gets used feels better and the one that looks and feels a little off can get replaced later.

Ordered another pack of regional rate B boxes. Hopefully there aren't a ton of chai orders before those show up because as unreasonably high as the shipping cost of that in regional B boxes is, any other shipping option is worse.

@lilithsaintcrow The science on tea being better is not great. Have the espresso.

Cat.

The cat has decided my arm makes a good pillow.

Spam can be weird sometimes. I cannot imagine anybody reading this and thinking, "this is a legitimate business with a product or service that I am interested in so I will follow up and give them money," and yet this sort of thing persists so presumably it must be working?

Designed the label for the new coffee from Ethiopia. It's a little fancier than the design on most of the coffees. I won't get that up for sale on the web site today, but soon hopefully. Might update a few of the other coffees to use the slightly fancier label design as well.

Picked out what I'm going to try to replicate. Once the coffee was cooled, the darkest roast I tested turned out to be quite delightful, but also very much not what I want to sell this coffee as. In the medium roast range I found a couple cups that had some interesting spiciness going on. But what held up best overall and is a good match for the flavor profile I intended to get out of the coffee was something on the darker side of a light roast where I'm getting fruitiness with good intensity.

Working on figuring out how I want to roast my latest Ethiopian coffee arrival. Dry fragrance is exceptional and in line with the sample I evaluated before buying it. Expected to go for something in the light to medium range and fragrance is suggesting the light side is where I want to go with this, but of course I want to choose after tasting since I'm not trying to sell this as an air freshener.

Got a box of pants delivered. Hope they fit. I tried to buy those locally some place where I could try them on first, but the selection was extremely picked over and my options were either hideous or doesn't fit. Fortunately I pretty much stopped changing shape decades ago and I'm a guy so odds are good on fit.

The cat is talkative tonight. She also really likes the plastic wrap that used to be around a stack of veggie crackers.

Mailing list for my book has nearly doubled in size since the last update went out. I should really get that finished so people can buy it.

@shahaan@eldritch.cafe I remember when the throbber was the pulsing N.

Spent some more time working on the Typica rewrite. Enough of the UI elements that are getting a redesign are now easier to read at smaller sizes (I've needed to tweak some design ideas because it's very important to me that I can rapidly scan the state of the system) which in turn opens up space that can be used for new features.
