I cook large batches of stew every now and then, freeze in 2 or 3 portion packages. Then each sunday I prep some carbs, defrost and pasteurize stew and put it all together. Boom! Lunches ready to go into the work microwaves.
It can also tie into mandatary rests, that the vehicle has to be stationary. And that is good thing as it makes it harder for emplyers to exploit their drivers.
Check my other comment. I grind using an old timey grinder. Not sure what condition the grinding parts are in as I don't know how they should look new. So your pre-ground should be fine. Probably with a but shorter steep (2-4 minutes?). You biggest issue may be oxidation of your coffee.
You do know you can fake a french press by just putting water and beans in a container, let it steep and once done pour through a fine sieve.
You are probably 100% right that a more heterogeneous grind would make a better brew. And tighten steep times. While I try for something around 5-7 minutes it isn't uncommon for it to be 2-20 minutes. It has still been good coffee, way better than any drip. Frech press is ridiculously robust.
At some point I should borrow a great grinder and test out a bunch of grind/steep time combinations to see what I prefer. And compare it to my normal brew. Perhaps there is a light for me to see.
I went french press because it is so forgiving. Put ground beans in container, pour over water and let it sit. You can of course go fancier, measure things here and there. But you'll get very far with very simple techniques, or no technique.
Speaking of grind fineness it's also very forgiving there as well. The finer the grind the shorter steep time is needed. I saw a video some time ago about this (there were a well spoken snob whose name I've forgotten, will find later) and the conclusion was that pretty much any grind will make good coffee.
If the road is made for 90km/h, wide and with good sight lines, reducing legal speed to 70km/h doesn't do much. There also needs to be made adjustments to the road so you cannot drive faster than 70km/h. Well so you aren't natirally incentiviced to drive faster than you should.
Water levels were lower during the glacial periods because of all the water in those frozen glaciers. The brittish islands were connected to mainland Europe for example. So there really isn't that much of a suggestion that sea levels were lower, established science that.
The original commentator probably got dates (or zeroes) mixed up. More than ten thousand years ago definitely doesn't put anything on the other side of the last glacial period (one hundred and twenty thousand tears ago).
An interesting side note is that due to the sea level rise many of the first human settlements of the Americas are now well under water and possibly lost forever. This makes dating the human arrival very difficult as we only have later very much inland settlements to go by.
The last Glacial Period (aka Ice Age) lasted between 115000 years ago to about 11700 years ago. Roughly. So constructed more than 10000 years ago still putsit after the glacial period but could very well have been built by the first groups in the thawed area. Who knows, perhaps they could see glaciers to their north?
I started looking at OSR campaigns/scenarios after getting annoyed yet another time with far too verbose settings and constrained scene-to-scene flows. And how boy are they refreshing. Think they may be right up your alley.
