Ooh nice. I still use a popcorn popper, and no bean probe or nothin', but I like my results well enough. But I see something like this in my future because I like nerding on this stuff.
I agree with almar, how's it taste? Have you been having good results with the Skywalker?

KammicRelief ,

Very cool! Glad to hear it. I've always imagined I'd move on to a FreshRoast after my popper kicks the bucket (or when I get tired of it), but, I'll do a little more research on this one too. Looks relatively affordable for the feature set.

Heck, 10 minutes past Portland city limits and it's Dodge Rams and Trump flags.

How dare you have an opinion when asked for one. Have some downvotes! /s

I'll never see Heironymous Bosch (did I get it right?) without thinking Hiroshima Borscht now, thank you

Oh that's interesting about the new owners having destroyed dealer confidence. I still ride my 2017 Jake all the time. I wonder if my LBS still carries Konas now...

I've been roasting my own lately, in a popcorn popper. It's cheap, quick, fun, actually decent if I don't completely mess it up, and occasionally even surprisingly good (as in, "I'd pay $20 for a bag of this"). Because of the size of the popcorn popper, I only roast ~100g at a time, so lots of experimentation with roast times, etc. I definitely go on the lighter side.

KammicRelief ,

yes!! we've been tossing peanuts to the crows in our backyard lately.

Meditation. Buddhism.

oooh those are bringing up some serious childhood arcade memories.
I loved Zaxxon! I gotta see if I can play that on PC.

KammicRelief ,

Totally agree with this! Same thoughts about Spider-Man too.

What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

It bugs me when people say "the thing is is that" (if you listen for it, you'll start hearing it... or maybe that's something that people only do in my area.) ("What the thing is is that..." is fine. But "the thing is is that..." bugs me.)...

But how do I justify my pay grade by leveraging lowly words like "use?"

KammicRelief ,

The most grating to me right now has to be the comma splice (run-on sentence). For example:
"Every one of our talented art students will have artwork represented in the show, it is always an impressive event."

I see it everywhere lately! Even in official business/marketing emails. Someone got a college degree and got hired to write that email ffs. Use a damn period or semicolon.

Battery use on OLED when screen black but not "off"?

Hey, what's up. I've been trying to get my phone (oneplus 8) all perfect again, after I recently decided not to use fingerprint security anymore. I now use a password, which feels right, but when I'm just sitting at my desk it feels like overkill to have to retype it so many times when I'm just checking little things. So.. I'm...

KammicRelief OP ,

Thank you for confirming this!

KammicRelief OP ,

You are right. There used to be some setting.. I had it hooked in via Nova Launcher and some accessibility setting, where with one gesture I could "turn it off" without requiring password, and with a power button press I could fully lock. But Android has (fairly recently) removed that option. (Also, fwiw, I'm no longer on Nova, but that's beside the point!) Thanks for checking that for me.
