For what it’s worth, wetting paper filters is usually done with near boiling water in the chemex, so it IS preheated with the regular process. Preheated steel also won’t retain as much heat. I don’t disagree with your post as written, it just doesn’t match the reality of what’s usually done

Counter-argument, this is all correct, but when the application is against shopping mall criminals it will work well enough. Not talking masterminds here

Please keep doing this because I’m never going back😎

This sounds incredibly legit, but question: Could you not gain a shit ton of momentum sailing directly with the wind in a regular boat, then drop your sails and steer into the direction of it to maintain some amount of velocity for an amount of time? Feels like the same principle could be applied here, especially because they would swap between photon momentum and gravitational momentum

This is great advice btw. I know amateurs and pros who swear by the “paint/draw one small piece every day” approach.

Counterpoint, if this dude can’t complete a bachelor’s yet he thinks he has “multiple Masters theses” he could complete “if only the system would let him”, he is definitely unfit to be any type of manager at this stage.

I have similar focus issues and it sucks, but literally everyone in their early twenties feels this way at some point. I would agree with getting a job, or just focusing to complete any BA, having to compare one’s skill set in a specific consistent thing against other people is important for a reality check

Counterpoint: If my existence as a marginalized individual has already been politicized by conservatives, then I lack the privileged position to simply “Make the point and shut up”, which is what you are effectively suggesting. When my identity as a human being (by blood, not beliefs) has been made a political argument, then no I’m sorry, my identity is also political… and that has been forced on me. Nothing about that invalidates the points I have to make to argue for my continued existence.

All I’m saying is, you act like identity is an abstract thing from politics, but for some people it can never be. Just being quiet means they are still people arguing for your death.

Nothing wrong with that, look up “coffee sock”. It’s used exactly as you describe, except they put this filter down first, then lift it out with the grounds after it’s done brewing. All the other methods mentioned here are valid too, coffee is coffee!

So we agree that copy pasting team culture, rather than giving the actual humans agency over the way that they organize themselves, is bad? Scrum is the name of a meeting, not one specific thing, it was just an example

When I see posts like this I just remember those old crotchety engineers who would gripe about “scrum bad”, then would absolutely refuse to participate in collaborative planning activities with their fellow teammates. They tended to be the primary source of bad vibes and work breakdowns

Assuming you have a modern digital camera, check if it has a Bluetooth phone app that lets you download images to local memory. I was able to zoom in and verify focus after my first shots, this was a major help when I tried stars.

BTW, no joke this is a book by Daniel Quinn called ‘Ishmael’. Highly recommend

Can you define socially conservative? In my experience, that includes people who believe “races” should be segregated

Here’s the thing…
