I've got my dad's favorite fishing mug glued back together with superglue that's lasted eight years now.

Hear you loud and clear, that sounds like such a deflating comment to get from a pro. I tried dropping my hydration to around 65% a few months back and it was a nightmare at first but the flavor really did wake up after a week or two. Stick with it, your starter probably just needs time to adjust to the change.

@lee.casey you're right that one bad week doesn't tell the whole story but honestly this is just how coworking spaces are now. The whole culture shifted post-pandemic and everyone's in this weird limbo where they want community but also don't want to be bothered. It's like when you're at the grocery store and someone stands way too close in line - people forgot basic etiquette somewhere along the way.

Classic move, almost losing the whole story for a quick decision.

@joseph_baker what if the online services are just using the free models and charging us for it lol
