Needed to send off info to DHL about customs clearance, but my new roaster is not very far away geographically. It's going to overshoot me to get to a closer distribution center before coming back. Friday delivery is still possible as long as the customs stuff gets dealt with promptly.

How many episodes of Star Trek feature plants that shoot at the away team? TOS has multiple.

Here's a though: let's NOT create the future depicted in Samurai Jack.

Versatility feels like an underappreciated quality in raw coffees. I'd much rather work with a coffee that's delicious across many different approaches to roasting than something that can only be at its best in a tiny window. The former can quickly be adapted to new needs while the latter is prone to a premature slide toward mediocrity.

The next Sumatran coffee I'll be selling performs nicely across a broad range of roast levels. I'm only picking one to sell but that's probably a good one to recommend for local home roasters who appreciate a cleaner expression of the traditional Sumatra flavor profile as it almost doesn't matter how you roast it. You're likely to get something tasty out of it.

Dracula had it right. #WhatIsAMan

Real Men™ don't need their masculinity affirmed by brands.

RIP trees

There's some giant saw on tank treads going up and down my street (vibrating my house as it does) chopping down parts of a tree on one side of my house and dropping the tree parts on the other side. That tree wasn't doing anything wrong.

Just got a text message from DHL saying they're planning to deliver my new coffee roaster on Friday, which is around 4 days sooner than I was expecting, so that's nice.

What could possibly be using 20GB of RAM on my laptop right now?

The cat did not greet me at the door after work today. Was too busy putting a dent in the top of the couch.

If you run your own personal social media platform it'll never be big enough to end up on a visa application, right?

On the fence if I want to go up one tier for 2x the CPU but less than double the storage or 2 tiers for over 3x storage and 4x CPU for https://video.typica.us/

I'll probably just not do anything until it's at more like 80-90% disk utilization and make the decision then.
