If you are buying from a bulk bin, some of the beans could be older than others, which will get you inconsistent results when cooking. I find it best to buy prepackaged dried beans - they are usually pretty consistent. Try a local Indian supermarket if you have one - lots of variety and really good prices in my experience.

Hey! I’m old enough to remember losing money on Bre-X! Cool blast from the past, bro. (sobbing)

Very nice! I’m planning to make one of these soon. Can you post pictures of the bottom, and maybe of one of the trays?

The older boys are often the most cuddly. I have an 18-year old orange boy and all he wants is contact. It’s lovely.

That is fucking hilarious. What a child.

The feature I miss most is the ability to get back to my All feed without losing scroll position after an accidental swipe takes me back to the Feeds list. The only way i know to get back is to select All again, which resets scroll position to the top. Very annoying to try to find my way back to the post I was on.

I believe Apollo had a feature allowing for a swipe right on the bottom button bar to return to the feed without losing position. That’s the only thing missing from my experience.

That’s a great article, tanks for posting.

Cory has a way for getting right to the heart of things, and does so marvellously here. Great explanation of why the investments continue despite the dogshit economics of this industry.

Every headache you run into will build a few more skills as you fix it, but if you are like me, you won’t run into many more than you already have. I dropped windows for good over a year ago and changed distorts a few times but never looked back.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

From the article:

“I do remember some discussion about whether we should include it, and some snarky laughter. But it was not intended as a joke. It was not inspired by any hot dog stands, and it was not included as an example of a bad interface—although it was one. It was just a garish choice, in case somebody out there liked ugly bright red and yellow.”
