This scenario has a high risk of confirmation bias.

I have a flashlight at work that uses them. It's a PITA because we don't stock AAAA batteries at work so they have to be special ordered.

My biggest beef with the Cash version is "crown of thorns". It's almost as bad as when Ceelo sang "all religions true".

Wow

AI writing reports and AI reading them. What is this charade all for again?

It's been 5 years. You could have watched it for free by now.

I enjoyed ZATAOMM but generally have a distaste for introspection and philosophical discussion. I would rather do things than talk about why we should do things.

I learned logical fallacies from Matt Dillahunty.

This happened to me today. Dreading the hold times tomorrow.

The problem is there are different once in a century events every year or two

There are enough options most places to vote with your wallet. It is ultimately meaningless to the machine, but at least you'll be somewhere with no ads or mutable ads.

Strength is the ability to do hard things. Hard is relative. Gender doesn't play into it at all.

Capresso Infinity. It is an inexpensive conical burr grinder. I bought mine in 2012.

Mine lasted about 4 years before the thermister died. I replaced it with a 1Ω resistor and it works no problem. I've had to replace that resistor about every 4 years, three times so far, most recently a couple months ago. I would guess it is there to limit heat in the motor but the motor has not yet failed so 🤷.

I grind 60g of medium fine or 40g of coarse just about daily and it has otherwise held up fine. In the summer for the last few years I grind 120g of coarse every few days for cold brew, that is a longer grind and probably the most risk of overheating but hasn't really affected the life AFAICT.

You may be able to spend more on a grinder that lasts more than 4 years, but this is a cheap and easy fix if you're handy with a soldering iron.

You can say that again

Groundhog Day. It gets better with subsequent watches.

My favorite class in grad school. I absolutely loved deriving the laws of thermodynamics from first principles based the random motion of atoms. It was beautiful.
