Maybe it's just me but I think the whole 'single origin' thing is getting a bit overblown. Had a weirdly good week with a basic blend.

My buddy Dave, who roasts for a living, got snowed in at his parents' place over the holidays. All they had was this ancient can of pre-ground, supermarket coffee. He said he made a pot just to be polite, fully expecting the worst. But he told me it was weirdly comforting, like a warm blanket, with a simple chocolatey taste that just worked. He came back saying it messed with his head a little, because he spends all day chasing these complex flavor notes.

Rant: I just realized I've played 100 games of Terraforming Mars

Wait, you only logged 100 games? I'm pretty sure my copy of Carcassonne has permanent coffee stains from all the plays it's seen. That's what happens when you find a game that just clicks, right?

Just lost $200 on a 'green' home energy audit that was basically useless

So what do you actually get in a basic audit these days? Are they just walking around with a checklist saying "yep, needs insulation" or are they using any tools at all? I've heard some guys just give the same advice to every house without really looking.

Hot take: I always thought the moon landing hoax was just a fringe idea until I saw the actual survey numbers

Honestly I used to think it was possible until I saw the retroreflectors.
