Swiss water. I don’t do it myself, just buy beans that use it. I feel like it’s less bitter than others that I’ve tried, but IIRC, leaves more caffeine in your cup.

This is good advice. I was laid off and took it really hard. A few years later, I ran into a coworker from the same place and learned that we were all laid off and I was just the first so I assumed I was the only one. Two years later, they contacted me to see if I was interested in “coming back” after the company had a failed outsourcing effort. No thank you.

The toughest part is facing the first few interviews. Be prepared to speak to the event. Be honest but kind to yourself. Tell how you learned or grew from it. Don’t dwell on it, either. It will be hard, but gets easier with time and practice.

It looked just like this one but says Zolay not zulay.

Also, the bottom thing to catch the grounds fits, but its too tight to be useful and makes the grinder twice as long as the Aeropress. I don’t use it and keep the body filled with beans, then grind right into the Aeropress.

I have a hand grinder that slides right inside the aeropress plunger. Its as if it was designed to fit. Makes packing for camping trips much easier.

Imagine the day when you go to some web site and see a picture of your wife, with a caption saying something like, “isn’t it time that you talked to your doctor about Viagra?” How about those pre video ads on YouTube with your dead grandma, telling you to consider cremation?

What does that really mean, to use your data for ad targeting? Can they use your pictures to generate an AI image of those you love?

I see lots of posts that it doesn’t affect you because you’re not on Google services. What about that friend who took pictures at last week’s happy hour? Grandma sharing pictures of her favorite granddaughter with her pickle ball group? Unless you’re a hermit, you can’t stop the slow trickle of your personal data being sucked up and stored for generations. It’s your data, where are the laws to protect it?

I guess when I responded to the original question, I was thinking about the 2000’s era COPS show and how it seemed to celebrate violence against others. So, by current standards, the old episodes really don’t hold up well in that it’s really not OK to be promoting this.

I’ve noticed similar changes to other police drama shows, like NCIS vs something like Tracker. In NCIS, the bad guy is usually taken down in a shootout. In newer shows, like Tracker, most of the time the bad guy is arrested. Hopefully this is a reflection on society changing.

Cops. To see how they just pummel people to the ground or pull their guns for the smallest of things is unsettling to watch. Also, the treatment of female officers.
