Kauai Coffee is a relatively large operation that exports to the continental US and is more like $9 retail (and perpetually on sale for $7.50 or so) for a 10oz bag in the grocery store.

It’s not cheap coffee, but it’s certainly not top of the line priced coffee.

They do make some coffees that are more than $25/lb, but not the "regular* stuff people would buy in a store.

Of course I agree that their price will go up with the market with tariffs introduced, and that in general the tariffs are a terrible, terrible idea.

I feel the same, I’ve had a bunch of pixels since the 2

I’m going to be buying a Fairphone 5 when my current pixel needs replacing, which is coming soonish

Ah, gotcha. I knew that was II back there but I didn’t recognize Brandon Toews. Thanks!

That’s really II? I didn’t realize he was non anonymous

I’m fairly sure it’s AI garbo. Some of the lower right lane markings are my first giveaway but identical window interiors galore, all the headlights look the same color/shape, and there’s weird random lines across the road on the very bottom, mid left of the photo

AB tech has shelter available (near mission hospital), 88.1 has updates at 10 and 4 every day, i26 to the south is the only way in and out for civilians now. Stay safe everyone

Hi, someone from Asheville checking in. Absolutely devastating here, much like Erwin up the road.

I’ve never been in a hurricane before this but it was absolutely insane. We’re so far inland, and so typically climate insulated. No one expected nearly this and it quickly overwhelmed everything we have. Just got soke cell back, I’ve heard potentially weeks for power for some and same on water.

That’s a great article. I like the answer to the 90 tick marks:

“I bet I just put my compass down and kicked every 4 degrees”

Dude, same. The worst part of my recent should surgery was the lack of caffeine all day (bumped from noon to 4 pm surgery). That first sip of recovery room coffee was incredible

Great video, per usual from James. I like the takeaway of “be wary of simple mechanisms decisively affecting complex situations” both in this context and in general

The real way is a generator inlet, which is a male plug that’s interlocked with the main. So the cord ends up being a normal male/female cord

I love re-deriving the train when people talk about autonomous cars/trucking and how they can already do the highway part easily

As am I, this is delightful to discover

Can you drink decaf? There’s quite a few good ones out there, and you can play with preparation to make it how you like it

I’m glad you can see the alt text! It’s the best part sometimes

Does it just ellipsis off (…)?

One tap on the alt text fixes that

On mobile: long press on the comic itself

That’s awesome! I hope it’s flat at least

Each way?? Or round trip?
