What has happened to small coffee? Last week I got a bag of coffee and a drip $24 (Amaya). This week a different place (Verve) $28. Beans are $$$ now? And what happened to a free drip when you buy coffee?

@HoustonCM @HouPublicWorks Please do the Houston Ave bridge over I10. It's bad! I see so many cyclists taking the street, and there's a mud puddle at the bottom of the bridge, also, last week a rubber lane blocker was sideways and almost caused a bike wreck.

I had a dream last night that there were those flies that lay eggs under the skin in my customers Ethernet cords and it was causing loops in the network. 🤷‍♂️

My dad finally got a chemex, burr grinder, and some beans. He's been telling me my coffee tastes so much better, for years, I've been saying: burr grinder, chemex, fresh beans. 👏

A few years ago, I honked at someone who walked at a cross walk when i was turning left, i was irrationally mad. Later, I realized I was the dummy. I still worry about that person being mad at me.

When I’m in the shower I always hear my phone beep. But when I get out, I have no new messages. Is this the new pocket vibrating thing from decades ago?

I ordered wings from a new spot tonight, took a chance on tikka masala. Tasted like spicy pumpkin pie. Bleh

After getting used to an M1 Air for a few months as my “on the go” machine. Just got back on my T490 to connect to my Fluke. Holy wow I missed 1920x1080. Makes me want to go back to Lenovo.

@elonmusk @StephenKing Only on Twitter can we watch a man worth $200 billion negotiate with a man worth $500 million about saving $12 a month.

On my car’s auto stop/start I just hit 1 gallon saved. Took me 3,177 miles since I decided to see if it’s worth it being on. Don’t think it’s worth it for me.
