Italy uses medium and dark roast coffee beans depending on the regions you were in. Roma, Napoli, Milano, all have diff beans so start there and find similar beans. Then to make it, Espresso is unfiltered, high bar. But at home, Italians use Moka pots which mimics this process. There’s a couple tricks for it (like grind size), but in the end it’s not complex and the taste is there. You can find the Lavazza brand in most stores like Trade Joes, and Lavazza is also common in Italy and also happens to be made for Moka pots.

I lived there for a while and love espresso but don’t care to go through so many hoops to make it. I promise you, Italians don’t either.
Pays well too. The price of their morality for a lifetime of pay and free healthcare. Because let’s face it, these idiots get FEHB healthcare for life for being in congress because they made it so. They get a salary AFTER they served too, after Min 5 years, but they get 80% of their salary as part of a pension. Insane nonsense if you stay for 20 years compared to what we get.
Hellmo, making sure that the kid knows this is peak life right here. Someone feeds you, someone wipes your ass. But tomorrow, well tomorrow you’re on your own. Hellmo welcomes you.
We Americans do occasionally get the dollar coin redesigned. Sometimes our leaders are forward thinking and recognize important historical figures. I have a few with Sacajawea on it.
VSA is just like the polygraph. It’s a pseudo scientific test that really takes advantage of most humans subconscious desire to be truthful. You can’t read the graph, most regular people can’t read it either, but the police tell you this is backed by science and they just need to convince the subject they “know” they are lying so they confess. The science is weak, depends on loose interpretation of the human body, is not the same results from human to human or even same human multiple sessions. Oh and wholly depends on the subject feeling guilty and wanting to confess. Helps when they are heavy religious too.
INAL - This internet stranger would advise no one ever willingly take a test (guilty or not). These are NOT admissible in any US court but everything you say, is. The questions asked are often leading, vague and a single “negative“ will lead to more questions.

Seriously, you’re not enough for this old liberal man. I want a safety social net that also protects our lives and every generation to come. I want FREE (paid by taxes) healthcare, education and a working wage with 30 hour weeks. Tax anyone 99% that makes more that 10mil a year. Promote business who have a human benefit purpose. Tax churches that we can prove promote hate, tax corporations that only care about profit… tax items not made to last or be recycled…
Is time my liberal friends, it’s time we write our own project HUMAN playbook.
Trust me, any public transport would be great but even in liberal states we’re seeing large fund cuts. The public bus stop 5 min from my house that went straight to the tram that goes downtown is now a 30 min walk that goes to a diff tram station that goes to my regular tram station which goes downtown. 1.5 hours to go 15 miles, I’ll uber. Or in summer months I’ll ride my bike to the close tram.
So far I’ve heard from a few, including my mother, that it’s unnatural in gods eyes and needs stopped. No idea why this god is sitting on their ass, doing nothing. But hey, I’m an atheist and think this is the final death throes of a dying culture of hate.
Yeah see, then you get me as a parent My boys were battling it out, in game and in real. I make them get off the game but stay logged on, used the axe to dig till I was at the bottom and dulled the axe. Did this for both, then made them listen while those zombie things came and killed them.
This only had to happen once. They never fought again.
Yeah, sorry. Nerded out there for a sec on description. I don’t remember the lag that much, doom was ok. I think we all upgraded to 10Base-T ethernet (you remember the bnc stuff) after playing quake and host tended to have the gaming advantage. A few of us worked at a pc repair shop, so we could source (aka borrow) the parts if we couldn’t afford to buy them.
A few laters Quake world came out, someone finally popped for a hub and we all had 100mbit cards installed. But around then, we got @HOME in my neighborhood and gamespy was my new friend. I hated hauling my whole setup once a month after a year or so.
Token Ring is a network protocol where a token—a small data packet—circulates around a ring topology, allowing only the device holding the token to transmit data, thus avoiding collisions. We played Doom and Quake.
