  • Last game I played is Hitman, so as long as I’m not a target, enforcer, in 47’s way, or in the world of a kill everyone run, I think I’d do just fine. I guess it depends on the map, but it’s mostly just the real world. So not much change I don’t think. If I can choose which map and my reason for being there I might not wanna go back actually.

    This is all assuming I can explain it to my family. I’m not sure I actually wanna miss a year of my baby’s life, so in actuality I would never do it, but if I had to do it, I think I’d do just fine.

    If it’s fresh from a specialty roaster, most of its volatile aromatics are gone about 6 weeks after their roast date, which is what makes expensive coffee so interesting. Coffee stales really really quickly but has an incredibly long shelf life, so while it’s perfectly safe to drink coffee that’s been around for a long time (James Hoffmann famously drank coffee that was roasted over 80 years ago) you’re not going to be able to enjoy it as much anymore. So absolutely don’t slowly ration it out, wait maybe 5-7 days after roast for some CO2 to escape but then make sure you drink it all within the 1-6 week window or you’ll lose what makes it expensive and fancy and it’ll just start to taste like normal cheap coffee. Unless you don’t care that much about coffee, in which case just drink it whenever, it’s not going to go bad on you.



  • Before my baby was born I used to love whiskey. I wasn’t a heavy drinker but I really enjoyed it and had built up a pretty decent collection. When my wife got pregnant, she couldn’t drink anymore so I couldn’t drink anymore, and now that we’re starting to have drinks again I just don’t have a taste for it. It sucks because I have quite a bit just sitting around now. I’d like to get back into it again, not to drink every night or anything but just to be able to appreciate it again. I like enjoying things. On the plus side I’m now enjoying beer and wine a lot more than I used to, though I don’t drink those very much either. I’ve found more joy in coffee now than booze.




  • I don’t have a single favourite, but a few recent favourites, from my current favourite artist, Jesse Welles:

    “I still don’t know what living costs, but I can tell you what I spent”

    “A bird in its cage loves the song that it sings”

    “As the golden rod fades and short are the days, I wish I could pause ‘em somehow”

    “I can see a light at the end of the tunnel, then again it could be the train”

    He’s got a ton of great political lyrics too but I felt that would be better in a different comment or post. Check him out, especially his two newest albums (Masks Off and Devil’s Den).
