Why the great Sriracha shortage is a sign of harsh climate reality - Los Angeles Times

I don’t know, this sounds more like the ‘finding out’ part after Huy Fong fucked around with their longtime supplier, Underwood — they attempted to claw back > $1M in 2016 and eventually were found to be in the wrong to the tune of $23.3M.

Now they seem to be scrambling to find reliable suppliers in Mexico, and aren’t doing well.

The latest build (0.2.0) has a log out button next to the account name (Profile > Settings > Account).

On older versions, I think you have to log in to more than one account, or one account twice, before the option to log out appears. If one account is logged in twice, it will fully log out.

Wasting water with tankless heater

That fitting is installed between the hot and cold supply lines at a single location/fixture in the house, usually the farthest away from the heater. Then, a compatible tankless heater can use a pump to push hot water out while pulling the cold water back in through the cold supply line - so no extra recirculating pipe has to be installed. You trigger the recirculation with a switch at the fixture, on a schedule, or with an app/smart home device.

Portafilter: bottomless or spouted?

Bottomless is easier to clean and lets you see more of what is happening with your shot - you can tell if your tamp/etc is even based on where the coffee first comes through. More of a mess though if you have shoot-through.

I think bottomless is also more desirable/seen as an upgrade if you ever sell the machine.

Do you use tin foil when you barbeque chicken?

No — are you prepping your grates? Preheat, clean thoroughly with a wire brush, then dunk a crumpled up paper towel in vegetable oil, hold it with your BBQ tongs, and brush the grate.

Sticking can also be a sign that the food isn’t cooked yet, it tends to release once it is seared so don’t be afraid to leave it alone for a bit.
