I was part of a tbone crash on the side of the car that was hit. I think i was pretty calm at the moment as I was able to clear the road of all my belongings before the police and ambulance got there. It was a scary experience at the time during the events that lead up to the crash, but everything was ok I guess after...

I take pictures of things I want to find faster over hunting for emails or text messages while on vacation and there's maybe spotty Internet. i also do this for cooking directions.

Where are the lasers to control the weather that Biden refused to use to save Florida?

Soda steam (and similar products) have likely saved a lot of plastic bottles from being purchased. This product doesn't save money, I think it'll should work out to the same costs for anyone that drinks a lot of bubbly drinks.

Time to get a global entry card as well.

Yeah, i got my set for the same price, but couldn't control my pour, so i picked up the hario air.

My tip for those starting away from instant is to get the aeropress as it's a pretty low cost of entry and doesn't take up much space. Get the XL if you need a larger cup. The V60 is affordable as well, but you'll need something to pour the coffee with. Good luck on your journey.

I switched from Aurora to Bazzite. Call me crazy, but bazzite feels like a smoother experience on my laptop. I can't exactly pin done the difference, but its there. It could also just be some update that went out after i picked up Bazzite.

 

I ordered a bag of Lavazza Super Crema for playing with my espresso machine, but wanted to try it out in the V60 for kicks.

Set the ESP to 24 and ground 17g. Brewed with 320ml of water. Coming from mostly light roasts, this taste a bit on the dark side for me, but overall a good balanced cup of coffee. I may go corser on the next brew, maybe 26.

I did 50ml for bloom (30 seconds) Add 70ml wait ten seconds Add 100ml wait ten seconds Add final 100ml

Happy brewing.

 

Trying out their blend and just opened my first bag. It's their 295 mix. I like it, lite and easy to drink It tastes like coffee. Did an aeropress brew and will try V60 next time. I will say the beans gave off an interesting smell that made me nervous about how it would come out, but all is good.

I never heard of this place, but it was recommended in another post. I'll likely keep the subscription, at least for another few bags to see how it goes.

 

I'm doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It's a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I'm happy.

I haven't had too many Kenya coffees, but if you have a whole foods nearby this one tastes good to me.

Single Origin Kenya

Parent's Bitter Coffee (startrek.website)

At visiting my parent's this holiday weekend I tired to gently tell my parents that their coffee brew is very bitter. The response I get back is something like, " I like it strong."

I wasn't too sure how to respond, but then they told me my coffee is to watery. 🤔 I told them it's not that is watery, but it's a light roast and not bitter tasting.

So my question is how do you convince someone that bitter coffee is not good coffee? I might bring my scale next time to help measure and perfect the coffee brew there. Maybe even see about cleaning their been grinder, which I think has never been cleaned.

Oh well.

Update: Thanks for all the tips and thoughts. I agree with basically everything posted here and sorry no butter (I fixed the title)

I wanted to try out the desktop version of the Brave browser. Its setup according to the privacy guide directions and I have sendoff usage data disabled, but if I open the browser sitting on the home page, windows is reporting 100KB ofdataa going out every 5 or so seconds.

Running the same test with Edge, no network usage is reported.

The only extention on Brave is bitwarden, which is also installed on edge.

Any thoughts? This is the IP it is sending to: 104.18.12.33

Edit: on reboot of process, I see the hostname: ec2-35-163-26-5.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
