Those no-disc patches can be sketchy and infected, so watch out!
My preferred way to play games without CDs was virtual disc emulators, so you can store a copy of your game disc on your hard drive, and virtually pop that game's CD image into the virtual drive in when you want to play that specific game.
One good trick with these, is that you don't even need a full copy of the disc: There was some trick to creating a very small disc image that just has enough information to get past the game's copy protection, but it's been well over 2 decades since I did any of that, so you'll have to do your own research.
NPR polling indicates that only a small percentage of Republicans would be affected by a guilty verdict.
11 % of independents said they'd be less likely to vote for Trump.
Small amounts of Republicans would be less likely to vote for Trump with a guilty verdict. I believe that I heard 7% on the radio, but I can't find a news article to back that up.
I see nothing wrong with this speculation, from a US point of view: A wave of Mexican climate refugees from Mexico City could fuel the Republican propaganda machine tar Biden as being soft on the border, and help Trump. Even though sadly Republicans in the Senate are blocking a bipartisan Senate border security bill.
Although Mexico is having a presidential election too, which makes the statement somewhat ambiguous, although Mexico's election day is really soon on June 2nd, which is well before summer.
That's a silly reason not to bring their formula to Europe under a different name, say call it Bendy's, with similar design aesthetic to the US franchises.
Fun fact: In later editions of the movie, Demolition Man, references to Taco Bell were replaced with KFC Pizza Hut. Thanks @JordanZ@lemmy.world for the correction.
2nd attempt: It worked! Preheating the mug, half-filling the aeropress with water and grounds, stirring to wet all the grounds, blooming the grounds for 15 seconds, then filling the rest of the volume with fresh hot water just before pressing resulted in a nice hot cuppa!
The taste was about the same as last time: Strong, but without the oily aftertaste of french drip.
Things I am not liking about the aeropress: Fiddling with the paper filters before I've had coffee - They are sticking together. I'm looking into the stainless mesh filters both OEM and third party, Plastic - Although it feels well made and durable, a mostly glass or stainless steel version would be welcome for environmental purposes, and microplastics anyone? Although I suppose the silicone plunger is unavoidable, The brewing process feels bit fiddly - I'm not used to it and haven't optimized my process yet.
You'd have to have your priorities seriously out of touch with reality to pay thousands of dollars to go on a cruise instead of buying health insurance.
I'll leave that up to your expert opinion.
