What do you do in the coffee industry?

I work in equipment supply now but have been a roaster/trainer/QA

Have you read "The Moink of Mokha" Dave Eggers? Its terrific!

No I haven't! Ill add it to the list. I'm almost done reading Stanley Tucci's 'What I ate in a year" book and it's fun.

Awesome job to losing some weight, keep it goin!
Thank you for the kind words about me/my appearance etc too....super appreciate it!
Sounds like a battle of the kitchen is needed for us by the way (given my heritage and love for cooking)!!!

Bring it hahaha. I love cooking with like minded people. It's fun.

Since you edited a quote it wont let me reply at ya with a quote so...I tagged ya.
Thanks for taking my poll, I truly appreciate it!!!
...and very kind of you to volunteer! I used to volunteer to clean up beaches and parks and stuff...worked with "4Ocean". Its such a lovely feeling even if picking up trash and stuff isnt exactly "fun" per se...but one person can make a huge difference so great job!

Who is excited that Severance is coming back? And Mythic Quest!!!
HOORAY!

If you havent seen Severance, I HIGHLY recommend it. Yes its definitely odd/quirky...but super cool and you just have to go with it...trust me, you'll get into it. And some great actors, cool art direction and styling, just good writing and such...great show. Only been 1 season so you havent missed much if you want to binge it. Apple TV.

Mythic Quest is a comedy...a little darker maybe, but Rob McElhenney is the main recognizable actor, but then theres a ton of others you may have seen from other shows in there too. Its about a video game design company...super funny, but not just low-brow dumb comedy...not a sitcom. And for those that are just hoping for "hot chicks" or "are there video game girls with big boobs and not enough clothes/armor"...sorry, not really no. There are lesbians though...woohoo!
Anyway, its pretty damn good, and theres been a few seasons of it, but theyre short and such so itd be easy to zoom through it too! Apple TV.

Otherwise, other shows I recommend you start if you havent ever watched:

SHOGUN. Two thumbs way up. On HULU.

WELCOME TO WREXHAM. I get it, you dont understand or care about soccer. But maybe you like underdog stories, or like Ryan Reynolds? Its super funny, charming, heartwarming, and yes there is sports in there too. You too will become a Wrexham supporter! On HULU.

Speaking of "soccer"...you better have watched TED LASSO. Stop everything if you havent and watch. Apple TV.

Like animation? Two shows:
BLUE EYE SAMURAI. It was terrific. Funny, cool animation, entertaining, good story, good voice acting etc. On NETFLIX.
SCAVENGERS REIGN. A bit odder in some of it, but super cool, great music, and I loved it. Big thumbs up. NETFLIX.

And some more to enjoy...
FARGO
RESERVATION DOGS
RAMY
SLOW HORSES
THE BEAR
MR INBETWEEN
WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS
PACHINKO
FOR ALL MANKIND

And ones to skip:
BAD MONKEY
INVASION

Jury is out for me:
SHRINKING. Ok I enjoy it, but I find it to be completely unrealistic in all the writing and general dialogue.

I usually say I don't watch much tv but after reading this I feel like I should say I don't watch any, really glad they took over Wrexham that club means a lot to the loca area.

Ted Lasso is fantastic, and I'm not sure how I feel about the prospect of a return for a 4th season. As long as it maintains its heart.

Shrinking is indeed requiring of a suspension of disbelief, but I love everyone in it, so I can't get too upset by it.

Since you clearly have Apple TV, I'll recommend adding 'Loot' to your list, as it is a delight and Maya Rudolph is wonderful in most everything.

Hacks, also, just terrific and Jean Smart is so delightful mean and vulnerable in turns.

(Not that you asked )

Heard HACKS was good. And yes heard Jean Smart was terrific.
I started LOOT and kinda didnt get into it...but...maybe I didnt give it enough of chance? I like Maya Rudolph but the show didnt click. I can give it another go though, never know when you start something if its the wrong timing or sometimes a show isnt great its first season and picks up after (like say PArks and Rec is good in season 1 but only gets better and better)...

I think it really depends on when you dropped out on Loot? I do think it picks up steam a little bit, but of course not everything is for everyone.
