French press is basically the same work as a drip machine, but a different shape. You just heat the water seperately and then pour it and the coffee into the French press, let it sit, press the plunger down, and pour. Actually takes slightly less time than any cheap dropper I’ve used and runs 0 risk of burning the coffee (drip machines like to put heating elements into their bases to keep the pot hot, this can burn the coffee and ruin the flavor, French presses cannot burn coffee because they cannot add heat)

Espresso is finely ground coffee that uses steam pressure to brew (thus why espresso machines are fucking expensive, my mr coffee unit was 80 buck), it’s an involved process (worth learning gif you’ve got 20m to make a cup of coffee every time) but very good if you use beans you like AND you like your coffee flavor strong

Looked it up

Gold density: 19.3 whatever’s/who cares

Concrete: 2.3 same/measurements

Almost 10x as heavy!

You can call for unity all you want to but you won’t ever hear those same words from the mouths of republicans

Yeah we do, when they lose, and only then. And even then, they’re fucking lying about wanting it at all, they think it’s weakness (literally a conservative belief)

Not them but 9 months into Mint and I’ve had 0 issues with any games or programs that don’t just not work on Linux (fucking anticheat)

Simple, supported, Community that isn’t entirely filled with elitists telling you to use the CLI, good comfortable starting spot

Its hard because stop using adobe as graphic designe

Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and After Effects all worked when I tried them on Linux Mint 22 to see if they worked

Older versions from before the CC updates for those programs that you can use them for also work and work quite well, though I do understand that there are literally missing features for professional work in some of those older versions

A real Linux alternative (or proper fucking Support but fuck adobe) would be GREAT, but the change likely won’t be as bad as you might be worrying

So far the hardest thing I’ve had to install was called YAD, and that was so I could install Morrowind mods specifically, a rather niche need all things considered, and I’ve made multiple audiovisual projects on my Linux workstation without having to do anything like that

I do keep a Win10 LTSC on a side boot drive for games with anticheat and any programs I might need there but so far that’s literally only been handbrake, which I’m sure there’s a Linux version/alternative for but I just haven’t had to use it on that OS yet due to work flow

Or machine virtualization, VirtualBox and similar programs are piss easy to learn to use and most machines today should have 0 issue emulating older windows and an old game in a VM

Any issues you might have are going to be hardware related, like really old games not playing nice on no original hardware, but if you’ve got one of those then just install the last version of the OS and isolate that original hardware machine from any networking and it’s completely safe to use as a game console

For games that could run on Win7 and 8? Not really

It’s surreal reading comments pining for win7

Oh no they’ve been in a coma since 2012!

I jest, but seriously I was in HS personally while whinging about 8 and wanting 7 back after my laptop auto updated on me like a jackass. Its actually the event that lead to me learning IT!

it was never supposed to be a ground braking game just a way to monotize their testing while giving the hungry fans something to play with while they wait.

Can’t re-write history just to cope, buddy

would you reather a buggy unplayable mess now or a fully flashed out game a year or two later

Right now we don’t get either so that’s a weird 2 options to pick

Success, I’d say. You’re really a frood dude who knows where his towel is finger guns

One time I did come across one of these that popped the whole iPad keyboard up, I tried to enter a negative number and clearly the programers were extra dumb because it managed to crash the whole POS and force a reboot

ETA: cashier thought it was hilarious, store owner got so mad he banned me from the store “for life”

That first bit reads so much like Pratchett

If it’s not then props, it reads almost exactly like a line from one of the Night Watch books would

Part of faking it is not wanting to acknowledge that you can’t afford a needed service.

I googled it before I misremembered: Google offers this as a service built into their maps features and appears not to charge the restaurant for it (could be wrong on that bit)

Sure, Google is Google, but that’s a free option that works and works well on a site people probably already used to find you. Why more business don’t bother using Google’s map-adjacent features baffles me

I can’t imagine anyone expecting their customers to book a table in a restaurant via video call - that would be stupid on many levels.

I don’t remember the name because it doesn’t exist anymore and was stupid anyway (some artsy name like Pierololle or some other French sounding fake word) but I had a place want me to upload a picture of myself to reserve

I assume so the person booking has to be the one getting the table? So this isn’t too far from possible, horrifyingly stupid an idea as it sounds

I don’t think there would ever come a time where people could voice their issues with the democratic party. Eventually the dems would’ve suffered such a catastrophic loss because they don’t listen to their voters and keep drifting to the right

Oh hey look it’s the opinion that for the last 2 years would get you nuked on votes getting only upvoted now!

Been yelling this since Joe “only running now to stop Trump” didn’t fucking prop anyone up during his term to run, fucking obvious they dont care because they know the other side is fascism and thought that was enough because they’re out-of-touch rich cunts

Please do, improve the world ☺️

Conservative is 4 syllables and they can understand that

Oh look, someone who doesn’t know what hyperbole is! Shit like that is why we lost, our side is full of slush brained assholes too

LARPer

Hey, if youre a coward who can’t back up what they say online IRL that’s on you, not me

sad sack

Awwww that’s cute, you think having conviction is sad!

Seethe harder, it’s hilarious

Seethe

They wanted it, they can enjoy it

Conservatives have signed on for fascism, I hope they rot slowly while alive in front of everyone they love, maybe then they’ll learn, but I fuckin doubt it
