職人の珈琲 grew on me, was surprised that it was sweetened before noticing it said 低糖 on the back. but actually the slight sweetness has been really nice! the unsweetened one was very good, you're right, it's impressive how good the coffee is for being in a can. will be looking for the PET bottle without sugar next, at your recommendation

western manufacturers have stepped up their game lately but they still don't make anything like japanese unsweetened black coffee... closest they get is unsweetened cold brew.

not canned, but i'm also fond of this UCC "職人の珈琲" that comes in a rectangular PET bottle with a blue label, it's black coffee with just the slightest hint of sugar, no milk or cream or anything, somehow it works perfectly

One thing I noticed since Special Sauce became the standard sort order, at first it seemed like there was a lot of variability -- I'd see a different assortment of websites every time I checked -- but now a few months later it feels like it's settled on the same 30 or 40 sites, just shuffling them around based on who updated most recently

of course still much better than the old default of sorting by follower count

the upside of special sauce is that those sites only stay up there because they are very active, if they stop updating constantly they'll drop out of the top pretty quickly. the old follower count sort had many long abandoned sites that stayed at the top forever since they steadily gained followers merely from being the most visible, and at a rate that was hard for newcomers to outpace

I think the text on your sort by hits url has a typo (says featured instead) but the link itself works!

Incredible site design. In particular I like your short book review structure. Another thing that caught my attention is how you hide your e-mail from bots. Your book trade offer is an incredible idea with a spicy touch of unknown outcome feeling attached to it.

it's woshite (ヲシテ) script, a kind of jindai moji (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jindai_moji)
(⚈_⚈) Tomoko Kuroki. There's actually context provided for how her actions are seen by others later in the manga.. She is umm.. A character for sure... The cringe of the anime was actually too much for me at times leading me to fast forwarding through one of the episodes and reading a summary instead
Also, we're both watching Kodocha! Haha!
let's all love lain
