Best friend of 6-8 years, I went back to work (I had been receiving VA disability) to get my money right to buy a house. He cut me out and everyone followed his will and did the same, because I couldn’t hang out EVERY day. Never mind I was trying to buy a house so wed have somewhere to hang out and party that wasnt checks notes his in-laws house.

I switched to a French Press recently-ish. Instead of 4 or 5 cups of weaker coffee from my single serve drip thingie, I have 2 strong cups from my French Press and am ready to go. I’m thinking about trying a pourover to see how that is. Espresso is tasty and strong, but I don’t think I’d want it NEARLY enough to justify a machine. I usually only do espresso when I’m traveling, makes me feel fancy having a latte in the big city haha.

All that said, coffee is very individual. There is no “right” answer. If you’re happy with drip, than drip is the way. :)

So why not use a dripper?

Whereas a drip just passes through the coffee, a French Press is more of a steep. You get a stronger taste from it than you would on a drip.

Espresso is a whole other thing, expensive to get into at home. It uses a much finer grind and (IIRC) the water is pushed through under pressure.

Yeah, there’s any number of reasons a kid might not have a costume. Finances, health, sensory issues, the list goes on.

Its free candy day, who gives a shit just give out free candy! ❤️

With every bonkers reddit/twitter move we get new waves of milquetoast liberals.

I just wish someone would tap the sign of “no, claiming Harris is the answer to all our problems on ml instances won’t go well.” So tired of threads from .world types crying oppression when they’re banned for screeching hate at people but cheer when .world mods kick us for posting a source or some other mundane bullshit.

Thats not even a weightlifter body lol.

Incels just think anything other than questionable consent with somebody who looks like a child is actually gay.

I didnt enjoy it but my friends that do have lost days to it lol

I’m glad it worked for you, it borked the fuck out of my system 🤣

You’re not wrong, but the underlying traits that make them that way is also what drives them to build FOSS software instead of maximizing their income potential at any and all costs. Meanwhile, most users just suuuuuuuck.

It shouldn’t fall on developers, but maybe the community should normalize finding a willing representative willing to listen to all the hot garbage the community throws at devs and have that person monitor various channels then relay only the relevant stuff to the Dev. Cause as it stands, difficult or not, FOSS devs are working for free and dont deserve the hate they get.

Yes

For a point of comparison, a ChatGPT request uses 2.9 watt-hours (and rising) to a google searches 0.3 (which per your example would only be run once assuming you’re checking different blogs from the same list of results.)

Half of this comment section is people who probably consider themselves “centrist” but shriek tankie and block anybody even an inch left of biden. 🤣

Its been said in this thread better than I can - but I wish the people who argue sex work is immoral because you’re “selling your body” would apply that same logic to labor.

For most of us, our body is the only capital we have and we’re taught to devalue that capital into oblivion so those who deplete that capital the most make the smallest possible piece of the pie.

Thats what it takes, and what we lack today - fighting for personal choice even when we dont like one or more of them.

Instead today people harp about freedom until you even scratch the surface and find out they mean the freedom to make the same choices they did and none other.

I quote this ALL. THE. TIME.

Strong social nets that allow people breathing room to allow more interest in how their computers work?
