  • Have used Linux for work (desktop and server) for 15+ years. At home I’ve got Linux for my servers but desktop had stuck to windows because of gaming and audio production software.

    The experience in gaming is amazing now on Linux for me and while audio is still quite iffy it’s workable.

    I have never liked Microsoft so binning them off at home completely is something I’ve always wanted to do




  • I didn’t agree with his knock on the Clever dripper as it’s not comparing like for like i.e. comparing a single cup brew between each brewer.

    The Clever Dripper is large enough that making a single 250ml cup isn’t risky as the water never gets half way up the brewer and you’re going to be picking up a mug anyway too so it seemed like a weird point to make. Though perhaps there are accessible mugs/cups out there so my counter point may be off.

    Still the hoop looks like a cool brewer but I find brewing with a Clever dripper so hassle free (I do the water then coffee method so no goose neck kettle needed) that I couldn’t justify getting it myself. The price is a little too much in my opinion


  • I see this said about the 90s all the time but really this is not true. In the 90s there was (not an exhaustive list)

    • First Gulf War
    • Yugoslavia war
    • Rwandan Genocide
    • Oklahoma City Bombing
    • Columbine Massacre
    • Los Angeles Riots
    • The Fall Of USSR (while on one hand a good thing it also cause so much economic decline, hunger, and excess mortality in the millions to many former bloc countries)
    • Somalian War
    • US 1990 recession
    • 1997 Asian Financial crisis
    • Dot com bubble
    • Hurricane Andrew
    • 1999 İzmit earthquake

    It’s very common when asking any person what was the best period of time for the world for their response to be a period of time their formative years were.

    The reality is history is full of horrid horrid things and nostalgia is a follie that’ll trick your mind.
