I drink the cheap stuff from Aldi. I had a local roaster I enjoyed in Memphis, but here in Nashville it's all hipster as gently caress. I keep a coffee pot in my classroom, too. Students would beg occasionally, but I drink mine black so they quickly became disinterested. Tea on the other hand always seems to need a little milk or honey. Oh. Hot sauce was good mixed into eggs this morning. Get some, is delicious.

For greens, check out greencoffeebuyingclub.com and happymug.com. Those are my two go-to's. Sweet marias is good but pretty pricey. Theta ridge is really cheap and worth mentioning as well.

I passed the FE in Ohio and don't live there anymore (it's state by state for anybody that wasn't aware) but maybe they'd let it transfer. Still, 8 hours of test for the PE without multiple choice (likely how I passed the FE, lol) answers would be rough. I think when they pass/fail people it's based on a distribution for who took it at that time vs raw score, IIRC. So that can help or hurt you.

Liquid Communism posted:That's a good description. I usually like a darker roast, but even Starbucks' milder stuff is burnt to poo poo. A associate opined that it's because Starbuck anticipates you loading it up with cream, sugar, whip, mocha, etc. Teh burn it so you can still taste something resembling coffee through all the poo poo. Adiabatic posted:Continually living outside of your comfort zone makes you grow as a person and keeps you from becoming bitterly entrenched in your ways. College and full-time work together will definitely spur that. Makes me think maybe I should change jobs. I've been at the same place for 17 years (as of this month!) albeit under three different employers, doing more or less the same job. At least with the latest version, I'm basically the entirety of Mac support, which comes with some managing of the machines, packaging software, etc. that I didn't have before, or on the Windows side. I think if I dive more into the environment management stuff, it might be a bit more interesting. I'm trying to get the company to spring for the $$ to go to a training week for the management software we're using, but it's $5K. I could probably figure it out as needed on my own, but I learn better in a classroom/project environment, and trying to learn it under pressure and having to work on routine tickets at the same time is no fun.

If you passed the FE you don't need to take it again for the PE. The EIT and PE designations are on a state basis, but the tests are standardized nationally. The PE isn't computer-based like the FE (yet), but it's now multiple-choice. All of the answers they give you can be had by loving up using the wrong equation or forgetting to convert units. It's brutal.

Good to know, sounds like things have changed a bit vs 10 years ago or my memory is bad. Back then, nothing was computerized when I took the FE.  You were allowed to bring a very specific model of calculator and #2 pencils. I don't think they even allowed people to wear watches. It's was very over the top serious.

Still very over-the-top serious. The multiple choice PE and computer-based FE are both pretty recent changes so don't feel too old.

The reason they do it is that starbucks is all about tasting the same. Coffee doesn't taste the same. Different regions taste different and beans from the same farm can taste different different years. You can either embrace that variety (3rd wave), blend it to try to make it taste the same (hard), or burn the every loving gently caress out of it.

I see your afla romeo and raise you one of these: That was another car at the dealership I bought the versa from. Only hint is it's a Nissan (they used to be the local Nissan dealership until 5 years ago).  And another Nissan, the second hint you get is that the first car is related to this one.  Not another Nissan, or the world's greatest car. It's just a Tribute.

I test drove a Tribute today (it's on my short list). Did they offer them in the 4 banger? Edit: Question, what would be the logistics in creating a fiberglass cast of a rear diffuser?

You can get the 4cyl/manual combo in a Tribute or Escape, and they actually aren't bad cars for the money. It's the V6 auto that has issues making GBS threads transmissions because apparently the V6 is too much for it.

STR catte is equally unimpressed with coffee chat So a friend of mine just laid down a new tile floor in his upstairs bathroom.... directly onto the wood subfloor. Nothing but thinset between the tile and wood. He swears it'll be fine and won't crack or rot, because "I screwed the plywood right into the beams!". I'm not entirely convinced for some reason.

NitroSpazzz posted:I was looking for similar but wanted to go on the smaller side of trucks and ended up with the 1979 Ford Courier. It's slow and fairly gutless (2.3L I4, 5-speed) but it'll cruise at 70 if you need it to. For long trips with the bike I still use a trailer behind the TDI but anything under an hour I use the truck. Hauls plenty, runs great and I think I have ~2k in it after fixing a bunch of things. Excellent, thanks, will take a look at those too. Probably a better fit as well, the short bed I linked is probably still too big for my needs.
