@gnomon pretty sure you're thinking of that. For a 16 oz double, 1 oz vanilla (most brands work), 1 tablespoon mulling spices. Adjust to taste or scale to size.

Someone moved my calibration weight.

@deshipu@mastodon.technology Apparently this is the rebrand of only working a 40 hour week.

@emma I'll also be doing this soon. I was just recently given some coffee that was roasted in Saudi Arabia and there's enough to do a bunch of different brewing techniques with it. I have some nice tools that were a gift from a Syrian student the last time I taught in that general part of the world.

The cat thinks I should spend more time petting the cat.

Looks like full resolution didn't get preserved uploading here. I also posted them here where it's possible to get the full 4K: https://www.hoyolab.com/article/7851733

A couple recent game screenshots that I think might make nice desktop wallpapers if anybody wants those.

Working on blends today. I have the problem that some of the coffees I would normally use that I was expecting to have by now still aren't available so yesterday I tossed together a custom roast of a couple things with the intent of getting certain specific flavor components that are hard to get out of the coffees I have roasted the way they are on the shelf. That test batch isn't great on its own, but did get me exactly what I needed for the blends I'm working on so that's going well.

@Taweret@octodon.social Unless you're on Kirk's Enterprise.

Brought home a couple bags of coffee that were roasted in Saudi Arabia. As a drip brew, the first one that I'm trying is roasted a little lighter than I would take that personally, but I'd like to try running that in more regionally appropriate brewing styles before sending feedback. I had some of his other stuff on pour over at the event which was quite nice.

Using one of my new mugs.

The cat has been retrieved.

Got more stuff at the event today: Some money for teaching, some money for the software, a nice SanFransican Roaster mug, a couple big bags of coffee that didn't get brewed, a couple questions about getting me out to teach: one at a lab that's not too bad a drive to get to, another one that's half way around the world. Don't know if anything will come of that or not. Another company that would like to send me some stuff to do a deep dive on.

Lecture for the class I'm teaching tomorrow got moved to a bigger room. Apparently it's the most popular selection at the event. No pressure.

First day at CRG Retreat, got 2 new shirts.

@deshipu@mastodon.technology Does it get you high?

Removed my travel keyboard from the computer at the coffee roaster. The full sized keyboard that replaces that while I'm traveling is not as convenient in the space, but I don't want to lug around a big keyboard and I absolutely can't trust the one built into the laptop.

@Taweret@octodon.social Better idea: Night Court for fandom disputes.

Was also asked if I could bring some decaf coffee for cold brew cocktails for the event. Picked a Fair Trade Certified Swiss Water Process decaf from Timor-Leste that I think will work nicely for that.
