They only wish, that's why they are so angry.

Starting the pool on how long till TFG forgets who he's now running against and starts rantng about Biden at a rally.

I used a PineBook 2 as a secondary machine, daily, for a couple of years. I never felt constrained by the CPU architecture, barely noticed it mostly. I stopped using it because it fell apart physically, but it was perfectly stable. I'd get another if I could get a sturdier one.

I drink it. That's a nice tin, though. I have lots of beans, tea and mate that would feel honored to be in that tin.

No. I'm more of a hoodie person.

I see we have a DM in the audience...

Guatemala Proyecto Xinabajul Dos Villatoros from Sweet Maria's, roasted just a little past medium, ground in a Hario Skerton by hand, about 5 clicks on the grinder setting, brewed pour over in a Melitta single serving ceramic cone. Bloom it first, pour splashy the second time. It takes about 2 minutes for the brew to finish.
\ I play with beans and roast a lot, I am pretty fixed with brew technique.
\ I found some instant in a Vietnamese market once that was interesting. I usually avoid instant.
\ Like I said, I keep brew the same so as to evaluate playing with roasting, but I am open to ideas, I could probably do it better.

I am sure they are aware of it. I think it's like us and horses: yes, this creature is much larger and could hurt or kill me if it wanted to, but horses are basically cool and friendly and we trust them.
\ I've been with my SO for more than 4 years, and I often don't understand her motivations either.

It's not trying to make money from me.

People who want to get on the leader board should consider that your FICO score is a measure of how much lenders can profit off of you.

I got the CD a little later, it's still in the basement somewhere. All of it ran on a 386 in an XT fold open casse, with a monochrome graphics card and an amber CRT display.
\ If you needed more grognard nostalgia.

Dry sherry in tomato sauce, soups, or anything with beef in it.

Slackware 1.1, downloaded from s BBS as a large pile of floppy disk images, in late 1993.

12, but it's complicated. I was a freelancer for a long time, count that as one job, but I had dozens of customers. I quit one place and went back, and 2 employers have been acquired while I worked there, count all those as one each. Not counting summer or part times while in school. This is all over the span of 44 years, so I'm a little quicker than your 4 years on average. The shortest one was a little less than a year; it was a mistake to take the job in the first place. IMO, switching jobs is the biggest, maybe the only, leverage a worker has vs an employer. If you don't have a credible alternative to your job, they know that, and know they can victimize you.

Two things, one you care about and one you might not. The one you care about: you can set up a service in isolation. You can then test it, make sure it works, and switch over to it once you are sure, with almost no downtime. This is important for things you actually need to use. Once you do something like breaking your primary email server, you will understand. Also, less important, you can set up a service on, say, a VM at home, and move it to a VPS, without having to transfer the entire image, and it will work the same. The one you don't care about. That last bit about moving servers around is important for cloud providers who turn these things on and off all the time.

name.com. I don't remember why I picked them, but they do no BS and the service is fine.

I do believe blooming is good, the first pour should be gentle and get the grounds wet, and the second pour should be from higher up, to agitate the grounds. There are probably other ways to get the same results. People tend to mess around with whatever techniques they can, do something that makes a better cup, and settle on that as the way to do it. There's more than one good way.

Old consumer electronics. Good to practice reflashing on old phones or tablets, if you brick one, it was trash anyway. Sometimes you can pull useful components off old computer boards.

National Aviary sounds very cool. Adding Pittsburgh to the list.
