I grind coffee, I know how to extract, I have a French press. This is not instant coffee, but it does not mix in the press, cowboy style or boiling it in water.

Not instant coffee. Grind beans and then steep them. The picture is of ground coffee. It looks like charcoal. It's not instant, and despite running it through a press, it does not mix.

No. I grind my beans with a burr grinder. I used to use a French press but I did not like how it tasted. So, I experimented with heating milk, putting in the grinds, and then sieving it. It has always worked out well. This is the only coffee that has not done what I anticipated.

Mercedes E350 2008.

I wanted an old school Mercedes, but the old 90s S Class would have been too expensive to run so after a bit of research, I came across the W210 and then I realised than a W211 was within reach.

So I bought it. Been a bit of drama with it. 2 fender benders, parts and maintenance. I DIY a good bit and I am happy with my decision. Gone cross country three times with it and daily drive it on my job which involved driving around 200 miles a day. It's comfortable, fast, and quite reliable.

I am happy with my decision till a light comes on the dash. Still, cheaper than car payments.

This seems to be the way. Panel beating Grav. Dang. Wish it were more friendly, but still much respect to the development team.

I have used both WordPress and Drupal and they are pretty good. I leaned towards Drupal more, for its flexibility. Grav is superb for my needs. Lightweight, fast, very few requirements, its the best platform to use for what I am doing. However, for all those benefits, there are limitations, and to me, themeing and documentation are a pain. However, it is the best flat file CMS hands down.

I am struggling with themeing.

Explored them previously, and today as part of my research, but would not work for my current situation. Hugo in the future though may be a potential move.

The reason why I picked it was the 2021 award and the previous awards. However themeing has been a pain point for me. Given that my story site is picking up steam, I want to start making it look better and I am still struggling with themeing. Automad themes well, but does not have the plugin/modules I need.

I would install Windows first, then the others after. Then you may need to edit Grub to help address the various partitions.

Thanks for this.

Used to run over 40 drives. Backblaze pointed out those Toshiba's. Man they do not die.

You need to check your error logs. Assuming a Linux setup it would be somewhere around /var/logs/*

Send me the details. I'm definitely interested.

Varies between Autozone, FCPEuro, Amazon, Ebay and the junkyard. Saved quite a bit with junkyard parts.

Depends on the role, but I am willing to give it a go.

Depends on the role, but yeah, willing to give it a go.

Always willing to try.

Already done. Can't stretch any further than I am. But this is what I figure is character development of some sort.
