$400 for a drip machine?

Must be a Mac user.

Well, dammit, now I gotta go try NixOS. Gee, thanks for sending me down the rabbit hole, like I have time for yet another one!

Hell, mine made crema on the first try. I probably over-pressed the coffee though.

I really like the mocha pot, but I’m a cappucino fan - if only there were a simple way to steam milk. I even have a Bellman, but it takes forever to build up pressure.

I can’t imagine how you burn coffee with a mocha pot.

Like, you’d have to go out of your way and intentionally try to burn coffee with it.

Changes by shitty apps wanting to start with windows and register for context menus.

I’ve had windows machines run fine for 10 years, and some having trouble at 6 months. The difference being the problematic machines I’ve made tons of changes, installed tons of risky apps.

I’ve also run registry cleaners as a test, and it’s made a world of difference.

In short: crappy apps make windows run poorly.

My cheap ($100) espresso machine takes less time than a Mr. Coffee/drip machine.

Lol, of all the people to choose, Bev is the one that would like it the most!

You could’ve made a joke about her giving the pill to the captain, since she had a thing for him, and all but got down and dirty in his “ready room”.

There’s a current meme about her banging a ghost, haha.

So Ellie is the condescending one here, not the person supposedly “mansplaining”.

Or at least that’s what she seems to be saying.

So where’s the line defining malicious downvotes?

Someone who downvotes 60% of a community’s posts? 75%? 90%.

Youre setting yourself up as vote arbiter, telling users they can only vote the way you want. That’s just as problematic, maybe more so.

Yea, there are people who consistently downvote stuff, but isn’t that how votes work? Like another commenter, I too downvote a lot of AI garbage, because it’s garbage. Am I a malicious downvoter, no longer permitted my opinion?

The last few weeks I’ve consistently downvoted any political posts in communities where they clearly don’t belong (my opinion). Am I a malicious downvoter for that?

The databases at my company nearly 30 years ago were staggering at the time. I can only imagine.

That’s the slots money, dontchaknow? /s

I’m sure that’s how the slots see it. Fuckers. Fuck every one of these places, built from research that they finance to learn how to get people more “addicted”.

Many machines have vertical connectors, if the machine is turned for any reason. Or you’re using the on-board card, etc.

Hahaha, I can’t disagree, even as a heathen.

As others have said, depends on how permanent something is

Happiness is fleeting, like other emotions, it comes and goes. Focusing on it is like chasing a wave.

Understanding your own values and what you find meaningful is essential for moving through life, because we’re not in control. Stuff happens, and we get to deal with it.

Lol, you’re something else, candy corn?? That stuff is vile.

The worst I can say about dots is they’re just sugar, albeit glued to paper.

Will you come organize my candy bowl this year? 😆

Yea, just requires a Dropbox account. And unfortunately I can’t get it to authenticate.

I’ll try some more when I have time, it’s a brilliant solution.

Proton sucks.

I had an account, way too many problems. Apps sucked ass.

Wow, great article, thanks for the link.

The moment I read the quote from Signal’s president, I called bullshit. I was there, working at a company that had massive records, probably of about 1/3 of Americans.

We were very much concerned with this data in private hands. We were concerned about this kind of data in anyone’s hands.

Such BS coming from Signal is part of why I no longer use or reccomend the app. I simply can’t trust them when they make such blatantly bullshit statements.

Like their reasononing for dropping SMS support because the “engineering costs”. There’s nothing your app does for SMS, other than to hand the message to the SMS system (technically, it reads and writes to the single SMS database on Android, which was a change implemented in about 2015), using a published API.

I’m starting to suspect the motives after reading such lies.

This lawyer may be a copyright troll (since it appears this is what he does), but at least in this case, his cases are legit.

I only disagree with the defendent only paying half the legal fees - the club knew what it was doing, and did it anyway. Scummy.

Wish they could go after the club for more.

It also depends on your layering, or lack of. It’s the complexity issue you ran into.

Great post by the way.
