The Fool posted:I’ll take “completely foreseeable consequences for $200, Alex” Having worked in contact centres for the last 15 years I am very confident in saying that any time you ask someone who didn't apply for a call centre job to take calls in anything like a call centre environment it will go incredibly badly. Frankly I'm amazed it got as far as being implemented in Bob's case without the finance department all calling in sick or otherwise feigning an inability to answer a call.

gently caress the issue of getting work done. Why in the ever-loving gently caress are you asking accountants to console family member of people that could very well be dying. That's not what they signed up for. Like, this isn't even a minor process issue, you dumped a whole lot of psychological trauma on a team that has zero training on how to deal with it. gently caress every aspect of that. It's not good for the workers and it's not good for the people calling in.

Terrible logging, terrible interface, terrible options, terrible documentation. On Linux it doesn't even support PKCS11 devices (but it does on Windows & MacOS, because that makes sense). Really just nothing good to say about it other than 'sometimes it works as expected' which is about the bare minimum you can say about a given product and nothing at all to be proud of.

Coffee break chat: Anyone else out there go hog wild on a new coffee machine when work from home hit? I got a Jura A1 espresso/americano machine and it's quite possibly the best qol improvement I have ever gotten.

For coffee, I have the reusable pods for my Keurig and a nice grinder so I get fresh ground on demand, I never worried about a french press but we did have one in a hotel room recently and it was quite nice. I just really love the convenience of the Keurig.

I've used the same Ninja coffeemaker for the past while because I am a whole and put enough sugar in my coffee for the subtle difference in flavors (French press, kuerigh, etc) to not matter. Best qol improvement for coffee for me was a yeti dedicated to coffee. That way it stays hot and I can make a predetermined amount at a time and not have the last cup from the pot scorched to all hell because I got lost in a rabbit hole of an issue and forgot to drink it for a few hours.

Ive got a decent burr grinder and just use that with a regular drip coffee maker. Freshly ground good coffee seems like its 80% of getting a good cup of coffee. When I want to get fancy in the mornings I make a couple of espresso lite type coffee with my Moka pot.

I'm still using the same old cheap grinder and drip machine, but I have up'ed the quality of coffee I am getting. I was doing the Kona thing for a bit, but then I found the guy in SA MART. He likes Ethiopian coffee and so do I.

Paladine_PSoT posted:Coffee break chat: Funny you should ask, right as I'm making a pourover. As soon as both our employers announced WFH, we upgraded our burr grinder from a cuisinart to a Baratza Virtuoso, got a chemex to replace an older, jankier setup and got 2 single origin coffee subscriptions going. Wife used to work for a coffee roaster and I've been into single origin drip even before we met, so once we realized we're on our own for 2 coffees a day instead of 0-1, it was time. The Virtuoso is so much better at producing consistent grinds than our $50 cuisinart. We're holding off on an espresso machine until we IPO. Then it's time for a La Marzocco GS3

Adobe licensing. My supervisor repeatly tells me the users manage their own licenses. The users never have it. They think new laptops for WFH have it by default and I gotta break the bad news. They think I can restore software after a crash when no one kept the records. gently caress

Manual preinfusion speaks to our inner coffee nerds, esp since they had manual paddles at the cafes when she worked bar. I haven't asked about the Linea Mini - she's the one specifying a GS3 as the minimum if we get an espresso machine. edit: i checked with her about a linea and her response was , "uh, duh, we need manual preinfusion control. we're not animals in this household!" luminalflux fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Nov 21, 2020 |

Dick Trauma posted:The months long $250,000 AV project that I was not involved in is slowly coming to an end. I've been asking for documentation for two months, and what I just received is amateurish, sloppy, and written by someone who is obviously not fluent in English. It is a cornucopia of bad grammar, spelling mistakes, and bizarre formatting. (Ex: "Windows" is spelled "windos" over and over again.) I am not looking forward to having to teach people how to use this cumbersome, stupid beast of a system. Oh man we've just put in a whole new boardroom setup with meeting tools and a huge touchscreen and stuff and there'll be no documentation. We were told 'go along and have a play with the gear and if you have any questions make sure you come and ask the vendor at this meeting', and then a passive-aggressive 'well, if you haven't got any questions by now we assume you all know how to use it!' They also went with the cheapest wholesaler instead of a dedicated AV installer and were surprised that they weren't interested in providing frontline support for the gear.

I pulled an old French press out of the closet and I am enjoying 500 ml of coffee made with Hoffman's technique. But that is as far as this goes, right? Or do I wake up the morning after a coffee binge, holding a Chemex I was using to chug espresso shots, with grounds all down the front of my shirt?

But that only requires a frying pan (or air-popper) and green coffee beans. You can pick up a 3lb bag for $~20 on Amazon.

I pulled an old French press out of the closet and I am enjoying 500 ml of coffee made with Hoffman's technique. by which I mean there's a goon coffee roaster that's decently popular; I ordered a few bags recently to try it out after a banner ad. here I'm pretty lax about my coffee habits. Mason jar cold brew; decaf mostly these days because its a bad idea to do it with full caf. Strain when I want to drink, or after a day/overnight and store. Here's a question tho. Does anyone else besides me switch over to tea and waffle between tea/coffee when getting sick of one or the other?

I just drink whatever poo poo coffee I can get at McDonalds, Burger King, or Speedway, in that order. I'm barely awake so I don't give a gently caress. If I'm running late I use the vending machine at work that gives you a cup with a poker hand on it, like in Terminator 2. And if it's a Friday I'll stop somewhere nice to get an Americano and a little snack.
