- Comment on Explain why the US bail system is not insane 4 weeks ago:
And republicans (or, at least one, in my district) are campaigning here on how cashless bail is letting criminals go free.
Cashless bail isn’t letting criminals go free any more than cash-based bail was. I am just as safe. There is nothing to see here, except a more level playing field for all.
Why do the republicans in charge hate people so much? I don’t think their constituents hate people nearly as much as the leaders.

The Spaceburger looks pretty dope.

That’s not quite what I said. You have strong convictions, and I wish you well.

Poor advice, IMO. Going below BMR is ok, starvation mode is largely a myth, and, while nutrition is important, it is not necessary for caloric-deficit weight loss.
- Comment on If you take care of your parents or other elderly, how are you preparing to age gracefully? 5 months ago:
Maybe it’s just important to stay generally social with folks of all types, as perspectives and conversations keep us young? Is that a good maxim?
- Comment on If you take care of your parents or other elderly, how are you preparing to age gracefully? 5 months ago:
I think you hit the nail on the head.
Where you live is one thing, but how you face the world is another. As we age, it seems that we have increased challenges in the areas you note.
Trust becomes harder. Acknowledging our own faults and cognitive degradations becomes harder. Making decisions becomes harder. And desire to remain autonomous becomes stronger. Those things don’t jive too well.
One more thing to note though: maintain a community of similarly-aged peers. Otherwise, one might feel like they are on an island.
This is based on my experience caring for an elderly family member.
- Comment on Does matcha tea need to be combined with milk or can I use water? 10 months ago:
I prefer it straight with water, myself. Sometimes it’s hard to find places that will sell a straight matcha water. It’s important to use at least culinary grade if not ceremonial, and order your matcha from a reputable distributor.
I like Tenzo tea, but it’s overpriced. Enso or something like that is what’s in my cabinet these days.

Hey, don’t judge a cover of a book by its look.
And check out Trailer Park Boys.

Just trying to share a random screen grab, or want to say or ask something about it? Search for some Windows or Tech communities and post away.
Worst case Ontario, you get some downvotes.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 1 year ago:
I’m with you on this one, too. I prefer my jet boil and instant coffee (or matcha) compared to an Aeropress.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 1 year ago:
Nespresso machines are definitely pressurized and temp controlled. Keurig, less so.
I read something somewhere once (great source, right?) regarding Keurig temps, and they weren’t consistent or optimal. And the pressure is more like a hose with an attachment as opposed to a pressure washer.
Some K cups will empty out when you use them, too. From what I’ve run into, that’s typically the fancy flavor ones. But some are just coffee grounds that get a suboptimal water flow at suboptimal temps going through them.
Someone can correct me on what I’m remembering though.

You’re sending our guy on the High Fidelity path. Be careful OP, Cusak thought he wanted the feedback, too.
