I use refrigerated filtered water in mine. Maybe I just don’t set the heat too high though? I use a coil stovetop and put the knob around 7.5/10. Coffee takes 7-8 minutes after I turn it on.

I’ve used a moka pot nearly every day for 10 years, never burned my coffee with it. I’m not even sure how you’d do that unless you just completely ignore it when it’s done and leave it on the stove forever.

Is there ever not a mattress sale? And they advertise like crazy.

Took a lot of getting used to when I moved to the East Coast for grad school. Supposedly they do live in my home state but I can’t recall ever seeing one here. It’s mostly spiders, millipedes, and earwigs where I’m from.

The thing that really freaked me out about centipedes is how absurdly fast they are. Also the one time I watched one crawling above me in bed and then it dropped onto my pillow what the fuck.

Agreed, I loved Below Zero. It was very much a small step forward from Subnautica, and I think people were expecting a bigger step forward. But it was always a glorified DLC for the original. Knowing that, it’s extremely enjoyable. I’ve played it through twice and I do love it in it’s own right.

This teaser has me hopefully that Subnautica 2 will be a true sequel. More polished, a bigger improvement on the original. Maybe I’m naive, but I’m gonna choose to be hopeful.

4 day work week when? I’m ready to start fighting for the 3 day work week.

Well perhaps the president of Puerto Rico ought to have done something about that.

I completely understand that reaction. When I say immature I mean a man who was abused by family so he ran away at 14 and kind of arrested his development at that point. So even things like this that sound completely insane don’t feel that insane to my family members.

I’ve had conversations with other family members to try to get them to imagine hearing this story without knowing who he was to really see how beyond the pale it was.

You downplayed his actions with the drugs as “irresponsible” (earlier and again now) and only talked about him making drugs available to her rather than forcefully injecting them when she couldn’t consent.

He predated on a very young patient. Whether or not the mother’s claims about his comments are true, he is clearly a manipulative monster.

The article talks both about the evidence and the mother’s statements. You look really bad here.

My grandfather, who is generally a good-natured but immature man, really ate up everything Fox News spewed at him about Trump. He and my grandmother always play the pity card that I don’t visit them, but they’ve been supremely unpleasant to be around for the last 8 years because they can’t leave politics out of it.

He wore a MAGA hat to my nephew’s 3rd birthday party and explicitly stated that he did it to make others uncomfortable. So no gramps, I don’t really want to visit you these days.

Here, I’ll take this up. The article also quotes text messages between them wherein he admits he injected her with ketamine himself while she was asleep.

You are monstrous for defending this monster.

Were they peddling the tax bracket bullshit? “If you make more than $X, then you have to pay an extra Y% in taxes [but I’m not going to mention that that’s only on amounts over $X].”

It’s one big maple in the front yard, and it only killed the grass in a circle under the thickest part of the canopy. Come spring we had a brown circle that only dandelions were growing in with grass doing just fine outside the circle.

I do think part of the problem could have been the extremely wet fall & winter we had. Felt like the rain never stopped.

See, I did the whole “leave the leaves” thing last year and it completely killed the vegetation under my big maple tree. It was kind of nice since it gave me a chance to replace that grass with clover, but now I don’t want the clover to die.

It’s been a year and we still have maple leaves from last year that haven’t decomposed. Not quite sure what I’m supposed to do.

Half as much cheese and saute the onions and that looks absolutely delicious.

I saw a Cybertruck in the wild for the first time last week. It was just as stupid as I had always dreamed. 🥹

Now everyone needs to play all the clones of that dumb auto-shooter on rails. Their ads keep telling me that game is going VIRAL right now. I think they must have misunderstood someone saying their ads are like a virus.

+1 for Piroshky Piroshky!

Check out Golden Age Collectables in the lower levels if you’re into any comics, sci-fi/fantasy, or board games.

And I’m not sure if it’s still there, but Turkish Delight towards the end of the street level has amazing, well, Turkish Delight. And their baklava is delightful, especially pistachio.
