What's a decently fancy coffee that's still affordable and will be well received even by non-coffee snobs?

I have been making the occasional coworker a cup of aeropressed coffee with good reviews thus far. Being that it is shift work, most of my coworkers are used to drinking the reduced syrup of a pot that’s been left on the burner too long (one coworker thanked me for leaving it for her!). Many don’t even know coffee doesn’t...

oakey66,

I actually prefer stone creek coffee but collectivo is definitely good.

oakey66,

Their specialty coffees are awesome. Those are a bit on the expensive side but it’s really good.

oakey66,

Persimmons and pomegranate are the fruits of the gods.

oakey66,

You have to get them to the perfect ripeness. They have to be like a gooey egg consistency. I usually keep pushing on it with my fingers until it feels like goo inside of leather. Then…. 👨🏼‍🍳👌💋

oakey66,

I think so. Yes.

oakey66,

Persimmons. I love persimmons so much.

oakey66,

Try having neither. Wisconsin Tavern League can suck my nuts.

oakey66,

With delta 8/9 it’s hard to enforce these days anyway but it definitely sucks not having access to decent regular weed.

oakey66,

I hate how this focuses on the other doctors that she had to leave behind. And not the brutality of killing children in hospitals. It’s hard not to view all of these American articles from the perspective of an anti Palestinian lens.

oakey66,

Agreed. I just don’t know that this interview would happen with western media. It seems to me that these narratives can only exist within the narrow guardrails of ADL defined speech. I have no doubt that she’s a sane person who is traumatized by the killing of civilians. These interviews are highly policed here. That’s the real shame.

Tlaib's defense of Palestinian chant prompts Jewish Democrats to call for retraction (www.detroitnews.com)

U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s defense of a phrase used by Palestinians in connection with the war between Israel and Hamas is drawing condemnation from critics, including two prominent fellow Democrats — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin.

oakey66,

As a Jewish person who was able to escape antisemitism in Russia in the 1980s, the state of Israel should not exist. There shouldn’t be a Jewish state.It was taken away from Palestinians and given to Jews in order to keep Jewish refugees from ending up in England and the U.S. Its birth is based on antisemitism and is perpetuated on antisemitism. U.S. Christians are trying to fulfill the end times prophecy. They want us to be sacrificial lambs.

Israel: “Because, fuck your.”

US: “Oh ok.” Signs check over for billions more in aid and weapons.

oakey66,

I guess maybe school loans should have gotten cancelled.

oakey66,

Disney already over saturated marvel and Star Wars. I can’t wait for them to ruin regular tv streaming.

Piracy about to make a huge comeback.

oakey66,

Good.

oakey66,

I work in a consulting role and the company I am currently working for is a vc funded provider group specialty healthcare docs. It’s all about volume. They’re completely inept in the way they’re running the company. They are incapable of making decisions that need to be made for the future of the organization so they keep pushing them down the road and papering over the terrible fundamentals because for them it’s all about hoovering up practices to gain market power. Everyone is miserable and always fighting at the highest levels. No one has authority over the organization. And people in lower rungs of the org have some of the worst insticts and are rewarded for it. VCs are making bad businesses significantly worse. They all operate under the same fundamental logic:

Get big enough at all costs until you are undeniable.

Jack up prices.

Then reduce the labor force to reap short term profits.

Then sell off to a bigger player without any regard for how the chips fall.

Or keep getting so big that you are unmanageable.

Consumers suffer.

Rinse.

Repeat.

The American Dream.

oakey66,

Not to mention that Hamas had accepted the 1967 borders back in 2017 and it was Netanyahu who rejected it. Hamas is a pet project by Netanyahu to divide Palestinians in Gaza from the West Bank. He’s helped nurture and support them as a means to do more land grabs and expand Israel’s territorial grip. So the starting point has to be a full withdrawal of the occupation, the ability for Palestinians to have a democratic government that is free from Israeli influence, and the restoration of the 1967 borders. The withdrawal of all Israeli settlers from within Palestinian borders.

oakey66,

Because Israel has been literally stealing land while demanding Palestinians give up more.

Edit: added context.

They literally started a land grab in 2017.

House Speaker Mike Johnson Responds to New Round of Scrutiny About Black Son (www.vanityfair.com)

Mike Johnson’s meteoric elevation from an under-the-radar congressman from Louisiana to second-in-line to the U.S. presidency sent journalists, Democrats and Republicans alike to uncover information about the personal and professional history of the most right-wing and least experienced House Speaker in history, who took the...

oakey66,

That kid’s going to be so scarred.

If they didn’t farm data and charged for it right in the beginning, maybe it would have lasted longer before turning to shit. But demanding payment while farming data is just insane.

Not to mention that they chose the absolute worst time to do this. They are just absolutely despised right now. They are either in the midst of scandal or scandal is just in their rearview. Why would anyone pay for this right now?

oakey66,

I don’t know how many people watched or loved this movie but I absolutely loved Hot Shots when I was a kid.

oakey66,

My wife is a school based therapist. The parents routinely cancel without notice. The kids have behavioral problems and trauma that makes interacting difficult and stressful. Not to mention that she has to read through the kid’s trauma history that requires them seeing her in the first place. Not a lot of thank yous for that kind of work.

oakey66,

It’s funny because they’re starting to build a ddi near me and the whole time I’m thinking how this will basically cut off a whole community from pedestrian access. Also, I lived in Florida for a while and I have to say that state is where the range of mediocre to abysmal civil engineers go to find work. Everything is designed in the most stupidly thought out way possible.

oakey66,

The reason there’s no organization man is because people in the current times have been exposed to the lie that is being part of the organizational “family”. Since employers are willing to discard employees like they are trash and cut pay and benefits while spouting the rhetoric of being a part of the family really laid bare how all of it was a PR campaign. I will change jobs as frequently as I need to keep advancing my career. If employers don’t deliver on their promises, I don’t need to show them any loyalty.

oakey66,

I saw Wells Fargo discard peers of mine because they were older. Despite, their ability to perform. And they were with the company for 20-25 years. This is my upbringing in the corporate world. They sure loved celebrating someone retiring after that time and would send out emails and throw parties but when the dust settled, you didn’t matter to them as an employee. People got to see that especially in the 2008 downturn.

oakey66,

It’s true but this is capitalism. The companies that still believe that either have a massive market share or a unique product (while it lasts) that allows them to do this. But most companies are driven by stock market share holders or by VCs. They’re all ruining it for everyone. Companies can’t afford to have bad years. If they do, employees pay for it through reductions in wages/benefits (collectively; not individually) or through all out layoffs. That always puts the employees in the line of fire. So a lot of companies can’t take care of their employees because they will get punished by their wealthy benefactors.

oakey66,

Humans deserve everything we’re about to get as a result of climate change but watching things like this happen is heartbreaking.

oakey66,

I think most companies do have a M365 subscription. If you are in a corporate environment, you will likely have access to the services. But it is dumb that you need to be internet connected and paying for a subscription service in order to integrate python visualizations. Still sucks that Microsoft like every other tech company is just about nickel and diming their customers into oblivion.

oakey66,

They just raised the price to $109. My daughter watches Disney but I’m about to start downloading her shows and movies. That’s absurd.

oakey66,

Exactly. It’s just text prediction software that is really good at making itself sound plausible. It could tell you something completely false and have no idea it’s stating a lie. There’s no intelligence here. It’s a very precise word guesser. Which is great for specific settings. But there’s a huge amount of hype associated with this tool and it’s very much by design (by tech companies).

oakey66,

Downloaded. Looks great. Is there a plan to allow multiple account logins?

oakey66,

Awesome. Thank you.
