I don't get Tracy Morgan. His jokes don't seem that funny to me. He's extremely repetitive. I don't understand him. Then, one day I heard a comedian on a podcast describe him as a complete genius. He said Tracy's trick is he tells a joke that may be funny, maybe not funny, and you'll give him a little laugh. Then he repeats the joke ten times. It's no longer funny. You're just tired of hearing it. Then he repeats the joke ten more times, and somehow through the power of alchemy, it's now run full circle and is the funniest thing you've ever heard every time he says it. I think this skit has that same energy.

Everyone gets older. Everyones body breaks down eventually. The amount of elderly who have said "I never thought something like this would happen to me". Look around Edna! What made you think you were going to avoid what happens to everyone else!?

I feel like I might be put on a FBI list for reading this.

The book isn't a heart pounding thriller. I'm legitimately interested in how you would make a movie out of such lore dense tome without the dryness?

How does OP define unlimited? There's hella diamonds but their release is controlled by a cartel inflating their value. Not unlimited surely but also not equally accessible so the price can be manipulated.

One could argue we currently live in a universe with virtually unlimited resources. It's accessibility that is the issue.

unpopular opinion. The beauty of the aeropress is it doesn't matter.

I was like you when I first got my press. All the recipes were overwhelming and I worried entirely too much about figuring out my favorite. This was a barrier to what, to me, is the true beauty of the brewer.

  1. As an immersion brewer it is super forgiving. Give it anywhere from long enough way up to like 5-6min and it's pretty much the same.
  2. Do you like flipping tubes of boiling water around? Then do inverted. Do you prefer to keep your skin? Do conventional and use the plunger to make a seal an hold the water in. They are the same.
  3. Do you want to brew concentrate and cut it or pour all the water through. Again are they a touch different? probably. Will I notice if I am not blind tasting 2 side by side cups? No

If what you enjoy is something you can constantly fiddle with, the aero press is great because the recipes are endless. BUT if what you want is a good cup of coffee, accept that this brewer makes it easy, travels well, doesn't need a goose neck kettle or even a scale if you brew to the volume of a known mug.

We just watched Russia circumvent sanctions post Ukraine invasion. Why would anyone think China would be less capable than Russia.
