On The Scourge Of Pour-Over Coffee

Can someone please explain this piece to me like it's Metropolitan Diary? I'm stymied. Is the entire point "slow low-volume thing doesn't work well in venue that needs a fast high-volume thing"? I feel like there's some unspoken agreed-upon assumption that'd be the key to understanding this, but I have no idea what it is.

@City_Dater Here, have a version performed by Martin Sheen, John Spencer, and Stockard Channing, for some horribly ill-advised West Wing tie-in Christmas thing.

On Have A Drink Of Bourbon, It's Bourbon Day

It's possibly worth mentioning that Bourbon Day falls smack dab in the middle of Negroni Season.

On Cartoon Explains Census Math Sampling!

I love Rankin's work, but it's not like he invented the idea of a dot density map. I've spent the past few months dicking around with ArcGIS for school, and it surprised me how straightforward it is to produce this sort of map from census data. I can't think of a better way to present multiple density variables on a single map...
