It’s a reasonable guess. No hate need be involved.

<It just doesn’t work that way.>

Erin’s been unhinged for years.

<Um, what do you think folks are doing with the stolen goods? keeping them? they’re selling them for food and shelter.>

Not exactly. The poverty rate for a family of four in LA, according to Erin’s own citation, is $35,600. The federal poverty level for that family is $26,500. So it is adjusted.

I’m talking about back around ‘92 or ‘93 as SB had their first big growth spurt (there were only about 12 outlets in Chicago at the time, to put it into perspective). The high-end crops used by good roasters were not large enough at that time to support SB’s growth. This forced them to expand to mid-quality beans.…

<Who does this, and why did this driver think his system would wear out if they didn’t follow this strict music rationing?>

Yeah, but this was a 21-year old college guy. He thought the heat was a sign that it was breaking, as opposed to being a normal part of an electric device working.

You’d be surprised at the number of people who say, “it’s just a coffee” when they order a sugar-laden fappucino. 

Wagons drive much better than SUVs do.

Yeah, the entertainment center was aptly described as Best of Show, CES 2001.

I was a year too late for the V60 Polestar.

The E wagon is too big. The C would have been perfect, but they didn’t try.

I’ve been amateur roasting for 20 years. I have to give SB credit, though, for awesome marketing. They took a flaw - over-roasting done to cover up inferior beans purchased when they got too big to source good beans - and sold it as “bold.”

But it’s healthy because it’s, um, “coffee.”

Hmmm, a college roommate whose car we took from Virginia to Florida for spring break (mostly because it was a soft Buick, which was perfect for a long haul down I95). I did almost say “the I95" just to trigger everyone.

Exactly. I’d quibble that we do produce prototype parts for testing and certification, but that’s a minor nit. If you are producing finished goods, you are not in development.

Yeah, it just means that they’re all at varying degrees of the production process, but they are all in development. For sure.

If you mashed it together with a Dodge Charger and the rear of an old TVR.

Oh, no doubt it would traumatize you from ever sitting on a bidet again. And keep in mind that the 400 psi is likely the nozzle pressure, not the system pressure.
