How do you even curate a fb feed. When I tried that I got an algorithm that shoved “recommended” posts down my throat that got worse the further down I scrolled. Not to mention looking for posts older than a day is a pain because they’re not chronological. AND the cherry on top is when you finally reach the place where that post might be and the page just decides to reload. Awful, awful user experience.
I make a 12 minute steep with 15g/300g coffee:water ratio. A bit coarser grind than what I’d use for pour over. I (accidentally) found out I like it the most.
Oh, the patent expired? No problem, we’ll just methylate the structure, see that it makes no difference and put it out on the market as a new drug. Or maybe take the active part of a racemic mixture and half the dosage. Same drug double the patent. Semisynthetic insulin is even worse in that regard.
I backed up my data and downloaded the iso before going to work, once I get home I’ll give it a shot.
I just want my computer to do what it’s told. Putting it to sleep and turning the mouse off doesn’t mean it should wake up, download and apply updates and remain awake only for me to find the search bar appeared again and a big red dot telling me what the former orange president of a country one continent and an ocean away said about something.
I used linux mint long ago. My biggest worry about a linux system is my Nvidia card.
My coworker opened edge when they added the new ai bullshit and thought the desktop was infected by a virus and started panicking.
Removing all the popups at work about scheduled updates, news, ads in a workplace with 8 desktops and zero people who speak English is my favourite past time. Thanks Microsoft.
Also that post prompted me to remove windows from all my devices that still run it. Not that I didn’t think of it yesterday.
I’m familiar with debian-based Linux distros and run Xubuntu on my travel laptop. It occasionally freezes and needs a forced reboot but otherwise runs ok. Any suggestions on what to install on this more powerful one? I use it for gaming but play older games.
I mean…I was like that when we first adopted our cat. Then we learned about respecting personal space and whaddya know, I haven’t been scratched in months (Last time was me trying to remove a small piece of thread from his mouth, to prevent him from eating it. He ate it anyway with no consequences and gave me a gash that left a scar.)
Just tried Lucas Zahradnin’s recipe from 2015 and it worked so well with the Burundi light roast I had at home. He recommends Kenya but any high density washed coffee works well:
Inverted method
20g finely ground, 5 clicks on the porlex mini… I did it with 8 by mistake but it turned out delicious, I just like having some acidity in my mug.
230ml of water at 80°C. I make my own barista water since the one from the tap is liquid limestone here Recipe for the water.
Rinse filter and preheat. I do it over running boiler water from the tap.
Add the coffee to the chamber.
Pour 60ml of water.
Wiggle the AeroPress for 15 seconds to mix the water and grounds.
Pour another 170ml of water.
Fasten the filter cap, flip, press for 30 seconds.
Went.
