@mal I would watch a show where a team of highly trained Trojan soldiers used a complex network of ropes and pulleys to animate a giant wooden war horse. It takes a lot of coordination to move such a weapon which is why the pilot needs to shout his attacks: a tradition that lives on in mecha pilots to this day.

How many "final call"s from spoofed local numbers do I need to get before spam calls wanting me to "press 1 to speak to a warranty advisor" stop leaving robo-voicemail?

New roaster still seems to be stuck in customs. Have been told it usually takes 24-48 hours for them to process added info, but the manufacturer is staying on top of this as well so we'll see how that goes. It's still scheduled for delivery tomorrow which is technically possible, but we'll see how that goes.

At some point I'd like to rework this to break out items to their own more detailed product pages and let people buy stuff through the site but that's not a current priority.

Now that I'm caught up on figuring out how I want to roast new coffees, tasting production test batches, and reworking blend recipes, I've updated the coffee list.

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.
