Or in New Zealand: Chip != Chip

constantly fidling with the grind

...is a necessary step on the way to great tasting coffee. You just have to decide if it's worth the effort for you. Those kind of super-auto machines are better suited to slightly darker roasts and just getting the same consistent beans every time.

Biggest problem was water temperature. They'd have a microwave, and one of those fancy taps that gives chilled or instant-coffee-hot water, but not hot enough for brewing, and no electric kettle. Can't put the gooseneck kettle in the microwave. I had a plastic gravy separator thing to microwave the water in for a while. Better to just use something less dependent on pouring technique, like aeropress or clever.

Clever + Feld + something to heat the water up to brew temp in, was my kit too, back in the day.

Thanks for reminding me I need to try the new beans I just got as a sprover. The iced americano was a banger. Sprover should be even better.

It's not a restaurant but the sheep looks kinda hot.

Same thing with medical insurance. It shouldn't exist but it pays a lot of people's salaries.

Is this one of those places like in Thailand where they drug the tigers so you can pet them?

I can't remember if it was Matt Parker or Tom Scott who did a thing about this on youtube, and I think the answer was no, they just use whatever method is easiest to get these numbers, and they're not even using a consistent methodology from one country to the next.

Why though? Glover is cool.

That's fine, I won't even see it until somebody asks me on slack if I saw their email.

The Wad - Vels Trio

Genre wise it's on the spectrum between jazz and prog-rock. And somehow manages to sound like a cross between New Order's Blue Monday and Parliament's Flashlight.

Technology Connections on YT has. Awhile rant about this. https://youtu.be/U0YW7x9U5TQ?si=SZaEzNCDKoLXhx83

Camacho was a good president. Cared about people. Even tried to help them.

Real estate prices go down a little? It's hard to see a downside.

If it's successful presumably other places will start to follow suit. Somebody's gotta go first tho.

Why would you wear pants so tight that you need to choose?

Reminds me of the KSP2 fiasco. Management insisting on reusing the engine from the old game, and firing all the senior devs who could have told them there was no possibility of getting the features they'd announced to work without rewriting the engine from scratch.

So about $25 per violation. Seems low.

I start to feel ill whenever I need to use the search in BitBucket.
