As a barista, they bought a 3 group head Linea Classic?

Dear god, why? I mean, I use a 3 group Linea Classic, and I serve 300+ customers a day. Even I rarely need that third group, and mainly just use it to give me more space when I have 10+ drinks down. I'm also an expert barista that's been doing this for years, and can multitask enough on that machine that I can have 3 shots pulling at once, for most people a 3 group machine means it's a two person operation, one for each wand. No random office worker/engineer is going to need to be making more then a single drink at a time though, so they don't even need the second head really.

They could have bought a Linea Mini for $5k. Or hell, a two group machine for 10k.

Also that's a pretty technical machine overall. You need to at least understand sours/bitters, tamping, and how to properly extract a shot to even get anything out of it. An automatic machine would likely get far better returns across a full office staff. Not to chestpound about my job/skill level, but I'm not sure joe schmoe the engineer can properly realize that it started raining 15 minutes ago, so now he needs to adjust the shots the person before him pulled ( which also could be totally off themselves, because the person that pulled them has no idea what they are doing. ).

The Linea Classic is generally regarded as a workhorse machine for businesses, not an enthusiast machine in the slightest. Whoever bought that for the office was either conned by the guy they were buying equipment from, or was trying to impress himself with how much money he was willing to waste.

e: Also it's a loving espresso machine for an office? Who the gently caress makes espresso at work. Unless they also all got taught how to steam milk, which HAHAHAHA that's a workplace liability just waiting to happen. EightAce, how many people have tried to steam milk only to burn their hands? How many people have poured the most foul loving shots imagine from that machine? Who even uses that espresso machine. I need to know now. Most workplaces just offer brewed coffee because it's easier then having to train everyone at your office how to be a ( bad ) barista.

e: How loving often is the wand purged? That must be the rankist poo poo. If someone just left milk on it and then walked away, ugh. That poor loving machine. Who cleans it at night? Who gets backflushing duty? Do they even realize to use puro? Do they realize to spice the shots in the morning to get rid of the puro? God I have so many questions.

Thanks y'all. Let me know if you have any suggestions for things to add. I should have the UI and a functioning ship selector done by tomorrow.

I've tried to simulate CIG Balsa Wood Physics (tm) but I just can't seem to figure it out. Guess they're called industry veterans for a reason.

Thing is, Unity does so much work for you, it's hard not to make good progress. I just went to the unity store, picked out a package that had all these prefabs designed to make a "sci-fi interior," paid 25 bux, downloaded/imported it, and got to work. Took me about 2 hours to go from zero to this.

And that's the key: picking the right tools for the job makes all the difference, imo.

I am working on a star citizen website with an interactive timeline that shows all the "development" achievements, blunders, lies, Mr. Smarts predictions. It will have transcripts (with permission of somethingjones of cause), funny stuff from here, you get the idea.

I need you guys to brainstorm with me for a good domain name. Only thing i came up with so far is:

starcitizenjournal
starcitizenchronology
starcitizenlogbook
thestarcitizenfiles

would be nice if it had star citizen in the name for search engines but it's not a requirement. I am bad with names. maybe you guys got some good ideas.

I'm liking "thestarcitizenfiles". Has a nice serious ring to it. You want people knowing they are going to see something that is not a Goony parody.

This particular coffee machine is in Santa Monica, in an office which was completely stripped and rebuilt in lavish fashion, and likely sits on an expensive table ordered from an overpriced catalog that sells furniture described with word-pictures liking it to the wing of a classic fighter-plane or the deck of a sail yacht.

So yes, you could say that.
