The substack update was funny but I sighed in relief when your normal layout came back, lol

as a free trial (and because some have been accusing me of faking it and not actually writing the full posts), the password to unlock the full biloxi post is the mad potter's last name (all lowercase)

it's a little heavy-duty for what i wanted to do, had to spend some time dumbing it down, in the end it's pretty convenient though

imagine spending your hard earned dollars on a subscription to your favorite substack writer, only to discover they never actually finished any of the subscriber-only posts, and when you email them about it they admit "It never occurred to me someone would be stupid enough to actually give me money!"

are you sure... it's over 6k words, never been put into practice, based entirely on memes and vibes, contains half a dozen irrelevant rants about things i dislike. one of the suggestions is to become a cult leader

่ทไบบใฎ็ˆ็ฒ grew on me, was surprised that it was sweetened before noticing it said ไฝŽ็ณ– 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

(โšˆ_โšˆ) 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

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.

suboptimalism's avatar suboptimalism 9 months ago

not canned, but i'm also fond of this UCC "่ทไบบใฎ็ˆ็ฒ" 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

suboptimalism's avatar suboptimalism 9 months ago

one of these days i should update the canned coffee page, i've still been collecting cans this whole time, i have a backlog of maybe 40 of them

sorbier's avatar sorbier 9 months ago

ty, i shall report back. 100% support a 40-can injection to your coffee page

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!
