DAE think the whole 'third wave' thing in Portland 3 years ago made coffee way too snobby?

Found a blog about a guy who just reviews different city water fountains

He's been posting weekly for 8 years, and I only found it because he left a comment on my local park's website in Boise saying the pressure was 'perfectly adequate'.

Had to choose between a Miller and an ESAB welder for a big pressure vessel job. Went with the ESAB. Thoughts on long-term reliability?

Whole chicken was my nemesis until I tried spatchcocking

I've been grilling whole chickens for years and they always came out dry in the breast while the legs were undercooked. It drove me crazy because I love BBQ but couldn't get this right. Last week, I decided to spatchcock the bird for the first time. I laid it flat on the grill over indirect heat at 350 degrees. I kept the skin side up and basted it with a mix of apple cider vinegar and my rub. After about an hour, the temp hit 165 in the breast and 175 in the thighs. When I pulled it off, the meat was juicy all over with a nice crispy skin. It was a small win but after so many fails, it felt huge. Has anyone else had a breakthrough with spatchcocking?

Serious question, why the hard line on organic pest control only?

At a plant society potluck, I mentioned using a synthetic fungicide once to save my tomatoes. The room went quiet, and someone said it goes against 'true gardening.' My plants recovered fine, and I think practical solutions have a place. It was awkward, but I stick by using what works in a pinch.
