Cool! French writer Georges Perec used this pattern to structure his novel Life: a user’s manual. The book follows the lives of people in a block of flats and moves from one to the other using the Knight’s tour.
If there is like 12gr left, I’ll adjust my recipe a bit and make smaller cup. Especially if the coffee is very bold or funky.
Otherwise I’ll mix it with beans that are similar. I usually have four or five bags open.
Parts of it, but much of it is metal. Feels a lot sturdier than an Encore. I have owned both.
I have an older commandate, which is pretty fantastic and an Ode 2 for when I’m lazy or want to brew bigger batches. Also great.
At some point I have also owned a hario skerton, which was shit, a baratza encore and later on a baratza virtuoso, which were both decent. Then I had a Mahlkonig Vario W (in the us that’s also baratza, I think), which was really good, but a bit of a bitch maintenance-wise. That was also the only one that died on me. Except the skerton, but that one never really lived in the first place.
The bypass thing is real. It doesn’t matter all that much but it makes a difference. That’s why most geeks will also tell you to pour on the grounds, never on the paper.
You should check out the tricolate brewer. Full-immersion, but designed to have no bypass. And it makes surprisingly good coffee. I was dubious at first, but it is kind of neat.
It’s projecting. And delusion.
First words are also often ‘mam’ ‘mum’ and a bit later ‘da’ or ‘pa’, not because babies love their parents, but because those are the easiest sounds to mimic.
So we adopted those sounds/words to mean mother and father. Not the other way around. We are really good at finding arguments to fit our view and narrative.
Don’t know what kind of pseudo-statistics lie at the basis of this but, as a Belgian, I don’t think Brussels would make the top 5 of best cities to bike in Belgium, let alone take first place.
Cycling-wise it is still decades behind most Flemish cities, despite laudable and hard-fought recent victories over the car-brained mentality.
I think the writer meant to say 'gone rogue' instead of 'AWOL'. Just poor writing skills.
Find an Italian place. Or an old mom and pop shop. Or you can always lick some of the burnt tires that you find along the highway if you really miss the taste of that robusta shot. /s
To each their own. No need to crap on what other people like.
This is only useful in the unlikely event that the stolen bike turns up somewhere. Just like engraving, it won’t prevent a single theft. Better to buy an airtag and two decent locks.
I wear a lot of clarks shoes and I have found that it greatly depends on the model. I have two pairs (craftdean wing, I think) that are easily six years old and I wear them a lot. Just service them once a year and they still look like new. But I owned another pair (not wings, they were dressier) that lasted me only two years. Perhaps the shoes in the outlet are not the sturdiest?
I have some wallabees and desert londons too and they used to be lower quality because the crepe sole would wear out fast. Last year I bought the black EVO versions and they barely wear out at all.
So clarks is still good in my book. I have two pairs of chelsea boots of the brand vagabond too, and they are great too!
In catholic circles it’s more like: “Don’t read the bible, you don’t have the proper toolset and knowledge to understand. Come to church, we’ll explain it to you and leave out the bits we don’t like.”
“Oh, and while you’re there, make sure to put some money in the box we pass around. That is before you put money in the other box to touch our fancy cross. And after you put money in the other other box to light a candle.”
Remember the Schumacher ads for this? Not even he could make this look cool.
Better to prepare those boys for all of the ass-whoopings women will serve them in their future professional careers, no?
Good chance the upper class were already familiar with the spices. The LSD and Warheads candy on the other hand...
I’m Belgian. We have three national languages. One is my native language, I’m pretty good at another and I can express myself in the third. I also know English and have notions of a few other European languages. Though some Belgians only know one language or maybe two, most of us can hold our own in three or four. Sometimes more.
So let me just say this: learning a language will really open up a new part of the world for you. That’s not some stupid motivational shit to put on language textbooks. You’ll start to laugh at different jokes, pick up habits, views and culture that would have passed you by completely. It’s really hard to explain this to people who grew up in a mono-culture, but you are really, really missing out.
No. This is not a "creative" way to nudge us towards the store. Definitely not. It's just the type of monetization every gamer has been secretly yearning for, right?
Very much a coffee person here, but more quality oriented than quantity oriented. I drink two cups every day, sometimes three, but only if it is good. I’d much rather drink no coffee than bad coffee. And I’m véry particular about what I call good coffee.
I (36m) read this recently and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I would have liked this a lot more if I had read it fifteen or twenty years ago. It was very clever at times, language-wise it was buzzing, but it felt very hollow and adolescent at times too.
