I finally got my wife to stop frequenting them with a moka pot and some flavored syrups. Homemade is comparable in flavor, bit less fat and sugar, and $1-2 per cup all in.
I use a Kingrinder, $50-100, milk warmer/frother, $30, moka pot, $30, and light roast Ethiopian beans. I just order in a big bag of beans for pour over and use the same for other drinks out of convenience. I’ve had cheap espresso makers before and the moka pot is close enough for mixed drinks.
Nice! I just filled a few raised beds yesterday, I’ve got clay, silt, and shale in my yard. Got 2 yards of top soil, 1 yard of compost delivered for $165. Called three places for soil and it was half the price of any other shops and surprisingly clean. Hope you get good veg in yours.
On Subaru and CVTs, I hate most modern automatic transmissions due to the rough shift and indecision but the Subaru CVT ain’t bad at all.
I’m a big proponent of normal/semi obscure normal first name, weird middle name. John W Smith if you work in sales, J Wolfgang Smith if you’re an author. Perfect compromise.

Yup, in the office we regularly hire engineers and scientists with a bachelor’s, I’ve never seen anyone even care what tier of bachelor’s. Some people go on to get licensed or a master’s on the company dime but we also have lots of unlicensed never going back to school people in very technical demanding and high ranking positions.
I’m just a geologist with a bachelor’s and am regularly supervising and training people with engineering PhDs. My work place quickly becomes task specific and degrees are worth less than years in the field a lot of the time, your mileage may vary.
My hands are average so I haven’t had an issue. I bought used and it came with a thumb grip. Also I keep a leather shell case on it, feeds into the retro look and adds some bulk. At no point have I found it uncomfortable and no one else who has picked it up has complained given what I’ve added to it.
Yup, I also have times where pulses in clarity.
You can buy cheap dumb adapters that are just metal rings and transmit no data or more expensive adapters which transmit data and allow autofocus. Buy cheap adapters for any old lenses you want to use and expensive ones when you value the lense tech.
I’ve got a D750 and an XT100. Given the smaller size and the cheaper old lenses I can run the XT has gotten more use in the past few years.
I’m running a rog ally and the latest update has changed sleep from hit and miss to consistently good. I also bought it because the price was 1/2 of a comparable laptop(secondhand market) so handheld form factor wasn’t a selling point to me.
Liked the main story well enough. Not as good as Morrowind but on par with FO3/4 and Skyrim which I grade as mediocre. Starfield does have some of my most enjoyed faction quests though.
Biggest failings to me were the repetitive POIs and half finished sub systems that while functional could have been so much better. I’m still happy with my purchase and see myself playing again over the coming years but it’s understandable why so many people walked away from it.
I love Zone of the Enders GBA, it is top tier like Golden Sun 1/2 for me. After that Dragon Quest 3 and Breath of Fire series took so much of my time growing up.
I switched to Kobo so I could download library books directly to the reader. Purchases have worked without issue directly from the ereader and the app to echo the other response.
Engine displacement is measured in liters or cc as standard. Harley Davidson demands in using cubic inches though.
It took someone pointing it out for me to consider reproductive choice being related societal violence even though I knew choice was better for societal economic outcomes.
Given the shift to confront, stop, and treat all forms of childhood abuse rather than ignore it also had to help. During the satanic panic the administrations stance was to blame mothers for failing to take care of their husbands as the root cause of childhood abuse. They had the data that showed abuse was linked to poverty more than anything else but it was cheaper to blame women. We’re still not in a great place when dealing with childhood abuse but we’re better than that and it has to have done something.
America legalized abortion and banned leaded gas around the same time. Both were credited with lower crime and violence rates in the following decades. Looking at other countries that did not do both so close together it becomes a lot clearer that both made us safer.
I’d also argue that being further removed from WW2 vets and cold warriors with severe PTSD and government mandated drug addictions generally help. Last bit it decidedly my opinion.
I’m 60 hours in and haven’t touched the outpost, ship building, or equipment modding. Main quest and 2 faction side quests completed. I’ve enjoyed my time and bought the game with the expectation that it would be FO4 with some things improved some things worse and a new setting.
There are definitely failings and it’s not a 10/10 game but for a lot of people it’s a great game. The proc gen system needs more variety but that can be improved through updates and mods. If you prefer handcrafted content follow the quests and you’ll see minimal repeats of the POIs. I don’t regret my purchase one bit and would be fine if no DLC, mods, or updates happen even though I prefer they do. End of the day make your own decision based on what you like just realize it’s not a dumpster fire and not the perfect game that everyone should run out and play.
To add to this most thrifts stores will have a crockpot or pressure cookers on their shelves.
Wetlands and floodplains are very important to mitigating floods, soil retention, and mass filtering. We haven’t beaten nature and are spending significant sums of money to revitalize and protect these areas because we have realized that they are just better than what we do.
I have a second hand surface still running windows that I draw on. With a paper like screen protector I find it quite pleasant. Mines a 6 I think, runs Krita great I imagine it’d be even better if I ditched windows bloat.
