Every bean deserves to flicked, some beans just need a lil guidance.

Here’s a really disturbing Garfield you can mix in for some variety:

It’s meant to be more of a modest message of hope.

“Buy a douchenozzle, don’t be a douchenozzle” - the greatest lesson humanity will ever learn.

Don’t want to send up a flare unnecessarily, but I used to see that patterning on machines with dead logic boards.

My last 17” MBP did that shortly before the board died completely & left me s.o.l. If you’re still under warranty or AC, maybe worth getting it checked?

I am not certain if this would be an issue with M-Series machines. If anyone knows for sure, I’d appreciate any info.

Not sure where this shot was taken but…

A lil further south, you can find similar views, overlooking Washington & Jefferson National Forest, from Lovers’ Leap & 12 O’Clock Knob.

It’s just a lil seepage, I’m sure the teen’ll be just fine. Everyone has at least a few brain cells leak out & drip down their ear… in some cultures it’s considered a right of passage!

“I come with the stench of pre-bottled blood of the new born on my breath, & enough peyote to last until the rapture! Now where’s that lil dude? Need somebody to light my fire!”

I don’t care if Tuesday’s fucking ugly

and Wednesday’s worse

Thursday, Friday, no remorse

Monday we’ll all fall apart

Tuesday, Wednesday, realize we all smell like farts

Oh, Thursday doesn’t even start…

It’s Friday, I’m in love still fucking glad I voted

If people want to play it & people enjoy watching it, why discard it rather than make it safer?

I enjoy skydiving, drinking copious amounts of alcohol, & eating fried foods. It’s on me to do those things in moderation.

“I’ll take a 3 piece with a side of stock, taters & gravy, a biscuit, & the wife’ll have the salmon, also with a side of stock. Chicken stock for me, she’ll have the seafood stock.

Lets go ahead & get the little ones each a grilled cheese, both with beef stock…

And let’s see here… let’s do an order of churros for dessert… what’s that? Oh yes mam, definitely another side of stock with those.”

Got hit with a bad case of noro virus this spring, I was drinking chicken stock for days trying to get over it.

Has nutrients & works well with the BRAT diet they tell you to follow.

I’d never considered it anything more than ingredient until then, but I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t had the urge chug some chicken stock since I tried it.

You haven’t been paying much attention to the current state of journalism, have you?

Twitter is a decent portion of their revenue stream, and given that none of us want to pay them for their efforts, what do you suggest they do?

Those clicks are their livelihood & we’re all sitting here reading the article pasted directly to this thread.

WE, INCLUDING YOU, ARE COMPLICIT IN THIS TOO.

E: “I don’t wanna pay for the news, I want journalists to forgo their living & only post their work on sites I’m actually willing to steal their content from”

Keep on downvoting children. Y’all suck as humans.

My analogy isn’t terrible, it’s spot fucking on. You just use the ice maker & wouldn’t want to lose it so you’ve attached more value to it than the Anova App.

Does the refrigerator not refrigerate without the ice maker? You didn’t buy an ice maker, you bought a refrigerator.

No one is pissed about the device not working. People are pissed that Anova is taking away a FEATURE.

Anova App = Feature included in original purchase price

Ice Maker = Feature included in original purchase price.

This isn’t about the value of what’s being taken away. It’s about the principle of taking away something that was already paid for.

If Anova wants a subscription based model, they’re welcome to it, but…

Their current customers did not buy into a subscription model & have the absolute right to be pissed off about being forced into one.

Would you buy a refrigerator from a manufacturer that wanted to make the ice maker a subscription service out of nowhere?

I get that the app isn’t a requirement for the device, but neither is an ice maker required for a refrigerator to function as designed.

They’re both features advertised as part of the original purchase price. Why does one get an expiration date out of the blue?

The people who are likely to be losing Bluetooth functionality are also the most likely to be from the original kickstarter batch.

Even if some-many of them have already upgraded to a newer model, that’s still one hell of a statement to make to your original backers.

It’s more about the principle. Why is it ok for a manufacturer to remotely disable a feature that was bought & paid for by a decades worth of customers?

Now that they’ve done it once, what’s stopping future attempts to gin up higher profits using the same tactics?

I don’t think anyone here is angry enough to go all Kid Rock on their Sous Vides, but I do think there are plenty who will look at a different brand when it is time for a replacement.

I have an Inkbird & really like it. Significantly less expensive than Annova, offers all of the same features from what I can tell, & it’s never given me any issues.

The app is of course a bit clunky & ultimately unnecessary, but it does actually function as advertised.

I think the bigger issue is that they’re bricking all support for the oldest models, trying to force customers to abandon a fully functional device just because they want more money.

The app subscription fee is obnoxious as all get out, but punishing your oldest customers for your profit margins is what’s a bit infuriating.

At least, imo.

It use to operate only off of Bluetooth, & then they added single band WiFi. They just added dual band WiFi as a new feature & are now removing Bluetooth functionality completely.

Absolutely a cash grab.

I worked on a TV show for Playboy & we interviewed the crowd from Jumbo’s Clown Room in LA.

This t-shirt speaks to me & I’m not sure how I feel about that.

E: autocorrect disrespects Jumbo’s. I’m also not sure how I feel about that.
