Nah, hidden spots are legit because most people don't bother to look. The library rack on 5th has been empty every time I've ridden by, even in bad weather. You just gotta know which ones actually work and skip the leaky ones.

Yeah, I gotta push back a little on this one. I’ve been using canned air on shutters for years and never had a problem, but I always buy the kind that says “no residue” on the can (it’s usually the stuff for electronics). The cheap brands with bitterant in them, yeah, that’s trouble - that stuff leaves a film. But if you’re careful and don’t spray it from six inches away with the liquid blasting out, it’s fine. Pete was probably right about the cheap stuff though, gotta give him that.

You ever watch someone rebuild their whole life and then toss it out the window? My buddy Chris spent like three years getting clean, had a solid job, a new apartment, the whole deal. Then his ex came back for one weekend and he literally sold his car for cash to go on a bender. Three years of work gone in like 48 hours.

I read somewhere that adding a ham hock makes the beans last longer because the fat helps them keep their texture.

@victor_adams95 You're spot on about Kenyans being wild. I've been burned by light roasts before though. One bag I got tasted like green beans straight from a can. Grind finer and extend your brew time a bit. That usually pulls out the fruity stuff without the harsh edges. Kenyans are finicky but worth the hassle once you figure them out.
