Parking enforcement.

And maybe check if the hitch is locked in.

Ugh I just started shopping for one in the spring and decided it wasn’t a priority. Great timing. 4k media is so big, and storage space is expensive.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick separately toldG20 officials at a meeting in North Carolina on Wednesday that their countries should embrace fair use and allow AI companies to train their models on creators’ work while finding a way to “protect artists.”

Sounds like a teenager brushing aside serious concerns, not an economist.

This is the guy who’s head of Office. The person responsible for greenlighting Copilot in Excel

IMO Boiling water is typically just fine for most coffee, unless it’s a dark roast. By the time it’s in the press and accounting for cooling it’ll be mid 90s.

No worries with blooming on a French press!

I’ve been using French press for 20 years and tried a bunch of things; the only complication that stuck is the Hoffman Method (and of course a decent grinder). It’s the graph with a bubble in the middle - don’t know enough, knows enough to be way too intense, knows enough that the intensity doesn’t matter.

I haven’t taken the path down to espresso, but I am getting closer because I used a sage barista express for a weekend and it was fun.

I do use a drip machine. It is certified to get up to temperature, which most don’t - and for some reason that makes the ones that do get to temp US$300 or so, but mine was adopted at a very affordable price. Aeropress is less work for a single cup and better coffee. French press is easy, quick, and the cheapest option - unless following the Hoffman method, but that’s some gooood coffee.

Coffee creamer, however, is an unacceptable sin.

4tbsp of grounds into bucket. Add 24 oz boiling water. Wait 4 min. Press and pour.

Logging off? Perhaps. I was on dialup a lot longer than most people I know, but for me, it’s the ad-driven surveillance capitalism and ever present grift of everyone seeking to monetize their interactions that didn’t exist back then.

Steinem was also a CIA plant.

In my experience, The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable.

How many datacenters are being built for Canadian companies, or how does building a DC for a USA company bring strategic value?

I’d give him the benefit of the doubt, because surely not everyone at microslop wants copilot everywhere, but he heads the department that put copilot into excel, so all my sympathies evaporated.

I’ve had this, with a single disk pool. An SSD.

The highest paid people in tech are not engineers.

Caught off guard? I think not. Seems to me it’s more likely that they’re taking advantage of the market and prioritizing the Mac models.

Daily brew, Colombian, light-medium. For a special occasion (because it’s picky to extract and sometimes the acidity is too much for me) light roasted Ethiopian. No specific brands or farms etc.

I simply can’t drink the same coffee years on end.

I think that has to do with heat, nutrient, or water stress. Commercial tomatoes have been bred to have tougher skins, specifically, for shipping. I haven’t had the time to really dig into why my tomatoes sometimes are tough and sometimes delicate.

Looking for money, somewhere, anywhere, as long as it’s hard currency. They’re running out of fake collateral.

It’s missing a /s for some people but it’s exactly the attitude.
