Portland office tenant sues landlord over busted AC after indoor temps top 90 degrees
  • Article states it’s not clear if Ankrom was a part of the hvac system design and selection.

    The landlord’s reply to their notice is fucking stupid to boot. “We’re paying lots of money and trying hard, it’s not our fault no one can find a solution for our unbearable building conditions.” Get fucked. Spending lots of money doesn’t absolve you from responsibility. And even if Ankrom designed the system it’s not like they’re the ones making the final decision or setting the budget. They would come up with solutions within the parameters set by the owners/funders.

  • Just got this message/survey from a Democratic PAC, who would you pick?
  • How about we appreciate the work he’s done but get some actual you get folks who aren’t boomers in charge. His time has unfortunately passed for the highest office but he can be hugely effective in an important cabinet position.

  • Need a little guidance on grinding
  • Just reading through the comments I can’t tell if you’re buying from a local roaster or not but you should do that if not. You can also chat with them about recipes for the beans to know extraction ratios, dosage amounts, etc. I used to have the Oracle touch and ended up buying some simple 3d printed items that turned it into a single dose grinder and allowed me to tamp manually. Might be something you wanna look at. Ironically I found the Oracle although more expensive and makes very good coffee doesn’t make great coffee because of all the automation. Even compared to less expensive Brevilles. I can try to find links to what I purchased or to the actual plans on case you print yourself if you’d like.

  • Need a little guidance on grinding
  • If you’re gonna do that you can also try cupping beans first to get a sense of what they taste like before properly extracting them. I roast as well and this always helps get like the essence of the bean/roast profile’s taste down so I know how I want to extract.

  • Elon Musk says SpaceX HQ officially moving to Texas, blames new CA trans student privacy law
  • In the case of abuse at home should the school tell the parents if the kids report it? Where do you draw the line for privacy and what difference does it make if the parents are aware their kid gos by different pronouns at school? Why do so many people look at kids like they are property…? And this is coming from someone who can’t stand being around kids most of the time…

  • My friend is acting really weird with my girlfriend
  • One suggestion I have to add on to a lot of really good stuff I hear is to communicate any boundaries in a group setting with your gf. Chat or otherwise. This way he knows both of you are on the same page and he doesn’t try to take an opportunity to appeal to her directly. At least it might lower that risk. It also helps maintain both you and your gf’s agency in this.

    If it’s only you he could be emboldened thinking you’re being controlling of her and he starts trying even more of the “nice guy” thing.

    It's so quiet in here! I just upgraded from a BDB to a bezzera duo man

    Enjoying the e61 grouphead. This thing is much prettier than the Breville, in a very different way. I do woodworking so I’m thinking about making some custom wood panels for the sides and maybe some attachments to hold portafilters, tools, etc. how’s everyone else doin in here?

    What's everyone favorite local news resource?

    I’ve been getting the Willamette Week for awhile now and have really enjoyed the focus on local only news. Curious if folks have other outlets besides the obvious Oregonian they use to get news for state/county/city. I’m just tired of only reading about the major events around the world and country because they are almost exclusively negative topics.

    Orbital Update on Gamepass

    I’m playing on gamepass and haven’t been able to see the new space stations yet. There aren’t any updates available to download for the game so not sure if it’s a gamepass thing or something I’m doing wrong.

    Roasting Discord

    discord.gg Join the First Crack Discord Server!

    Check out the First Crack community on Discord - hang out with 1 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

    Not sure if this is allowed so mods lemme know if it’s not. Just sharing a link to a roasting specific discord I started. Not sure how many fellow roasters there are here but there wasn’t any roasting specific communities I could find so thought I’d start my own.

    Stereo console repair

    I have an old ge stereo console from the 60’s. The turntable on it doesn’t rotate anymore and the controls in general don’t work that great. I’ve been trying to find a shop or online resources for some diy repair/replacement but have mostly come up short. I’ve also toyed with just gutting it and replacing with modern stuff. Just curious if it’s a fools errand to try getting these components repaired or not. I can try to find the specific model to share, just don’t have it handy at the moment. But it’s one of the fairly common mcm style consoles with receiver, turntable, and built in speakers.

    Sorry if this is too vague, I can try to get more specifics once I get home from work.

    How have yall been fairing in Savage Gauntlet?

    I’ve really enjoyed them so far. Week 1 was a little cheap with the vtol defense but overall I liked it. Week 2 was a big improvement and a lot more chaos. I hope they up the ante with more chaos in week 3. I managed to get Gauntlet Master both weeks with top 10%. How has everyone else been doing?

    Coffee exchange interest?

    Wanted to gauge interest in some sort of coffee exchange. I roast my own coffee and would love to see what others think. Plus I think it’d be fun to try out local roasters from around the US/world.

    Anyone interested in something like this?
