I love drip coffee and then was a French press guy for years but now I'm a decaff pour over type with the ceramic top. I wish there were drip machines without plastic.
It appears there has been a few that caught this. I was surprised they were so far down the Consumer's Report list for reliability as it was but honestly I don't really think of the brand that much as it's something my parents owned when I was a little kid then they moved onto Toyota and domestics.
It's not to say others are better. I've was surprised by Ford's decent down the list but not by Jeep's continued place down there and I've owned many Jeeps.
I'm seeing this same line of thinking when it comes to gas stoves including myself as not really taking the health concerns seriously.
It did get my attention when the experts that were interviewed explained even they were shocked at how bad the levels were in homes hours upon hours after use but most people write them off as kooks and an example of too much government overreach as their parents and grandparents before them used these stoves and they turned out fine.
I'm sure this is often the same first place most people start out at when looking back at the issues with Lead, Asbestos, leaded gasoline, PCBs, micro plastics, etc.
That sewer water we have been drinking wasn't an issue before....
I believe this is big money after asking my friend if they were affected by this recall in Canada. She says no, as she didn't pay the extra $10,000cdn for the autopilot option on her Model 3.
So is the math $10,000 x 2 million units that have the option? If so no wonder why he was able to buy Twitter...
Reminds me of movies portraying early Apple and the issues with playing media and the adding of more RAM to the first Mac to get through a similar presentation.
The Macs being presented would never have that much memory when sold in the market but it was portrayed as those production models.
Not sure if it really mattered in the end as the consumer received that new Apple experience they coveted. I still recall those Macs were easier to use than the Apple IIc they replaced in my high school at the time.
It's embarrassing when I see this US nationalism infect so many walks of Canadian life. We were supposed to be better and to hold ourselves to a higher educated standard.
In the end it's disheartening how easily our indenity is impacted but *by our southern cousins when the uneducated in Canada are protesting and spouting off about their US rights like they are the same as ours.
There were many reasons why our forefathers resisted US expansion into Canada and why we took another path from joining them as a country. Those reasons are convoluted and many but they made us unique and Canadian.
I fear that we will continue to be lost as we are further pulled into the misinformation sphere which has been so effective against many.
This seems to be the model I've witnessed with many apps over the years. Free at first to get traction and users, then ads, then pay one time fee to get rid of ads, then subscription to keep using the app.
Then there are those that wouldn't even pay a single fee and get upset at the thought as everything should be free.
The part that is upsetting is the contributions the early community made is monetized when they were they there for the benefit of the community.
I do see there are costs to maintaining and updating these apps so I can understand a need to keep revenue flowing for these future costs. The one time payment is a hell of a deal for years with updates to accommodate the revisions needed for each system update let alone functionality improvements.
In the old days we would buy software for our PC and that was it. There wasn't really any updates or further support for newer versions of Windows. The software would become very insecure or just stop functioning altogether with enough changes to windows.
It's hard to find the right balance. I know I only want to pay once, or heck never, but I want these upgrades and updates too.
Apparently if you say "no homo" after it doesn't count?
