    I once ordered Blue Apron and the food rotted my spleen, and practically liquefied my colon. The doctor said I had a liver like patè. Wouldn’t recommend.

    Why should I let someone else think for me? I’d rather use my own brain and be creative with my own food.

    So much waste! And no, whataboutism saying grocery store’s waste more is not a good argument.

    That pricing is way too high! Seriously!

      I think so too, it’s just if you’re working 50 or 60 hrs a week and you don’t feel like going to the supermarket then you’re not gonna care that it costs more because of the convenience factor. Price and convenience vary directly. The more convenient something is the higher the price. The service seems like it’s for busy people who make a lot of money

    Blue apron is a really good service it’s nice not having to worry about what to make when you get home. After canceling my subscription I kept the recipe cards and still make them.

    Do their food (all of that they offer, including the one in the microwave) have any kind of additive ?
    Or everything is fresh and natural, without extra ingredients that most people don’t know what they mean?

    Totally agree. Better meals and I’m not eating out as much which when you add up the cost and calories, it’s a lot.

    Only happens in America. Buy a box of do it yourself uncooked meal and spend 3x the amount. No thanks.

    A terrable review, this guy talked a lot about nothing. “I really liked the french toast”, bread and egg wow dude, amazing. Maybe less jive and hype about the company you got paid to review and more meal choices and food.

The Despacio tent is a temple of music for audio geeks, and the brainchild of LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, Stephen and David Dewaele of 2manydjs aka Soulwax, and audio engineer John Klett. First created in 2013, Despacio makes its way from festival to festival, blasting dancers with vintage vinyl from seven McIntosh speaker stacks that make up the 50,000-watt sound system along with the lighting rig and iconic disco ball that complete the experience. CNET social producer Faith Chihil got a chance to catch it at Portola Music Festival in San Francisco and here’s what she found. #despacio #portolamusicfestival #festival #audiophile #vinyl
