I own both. I daily use my AeroPress. I use my Moka about twice a month. They’re both great brewers, but the Moka isn’t for making a good daily cup or espresso. The coffee you get from it is unique. If you make a lot of milk beverages, I think the Moka is a decent way to make coffee for that use, but you’ll also need a good way to froth and steam your milk.

I’d go with an AeroPress and check out the various brew methods available to achieve your desired results.

Vinegar on iOS.

Unfortunate? Yes. Do I feel bad for Pfizer? No. For their employees? Yes.

Should a company with as much capital have redundancy in their manufacturing facilities to the point that “shortages” are nearly unthinkable? Absolutely.

I canceled Netflix three years ago. There are plenty of other less expensive services with a higher hit to miss ratio for their originals.

Haven’t missed it a bit.

Severance and For All Mankind are also both pretty great.

This is the best possible resource on moka pot brewing. There’s two more in the series, but this is a great way to understand how to get the best possible coffee out of your pot.

I mean… they can. I drive a Maverick. My bed easily fits a riding mower, a weed eater, pressure washer, pole saw, and all the manual yard tools I could need for working on other people’s yards.

And my wife and children can also comfortably ride in it when I’m using it for family transportation. And I average 43 miles to the gallon.

Not every truck needs a full size bed, and four doors doesn’t make a truck less useful but more.

Techmoan and coffee in bed is my Saturday morning routine. I’ve been watching Matt do these videos for so long that he feels like a good friend.

$2.99 a month for an un-skippable ad at the beginning of a video is the threshold for me. Anything more than that and I’m just not interested. Make the length and cost of the ad itself commensurate to the length of the video it precedes. I hate watching videos that are chopped up into bits with thoughts interrupted at random.

1. A modest house.
2. A second (functioning) vehicle for my family.
3. Some apartments that I can turn into transitional housing for houseless and/or low income families, along with a staff of full time handymen, social workers, and counselors for facilities and transitional support.
4. Create a healthcare fund/endowment investment managed by someone competent. It would be used to pay medical collections debts using the interest it draws.
5. I dunno. A billion dollars goes a long way. Well above and beyond any amount I ever anticipate needing, let alone having. Maybe some Picassos to hang in my modest house.

Meanwhile, my little town struggles to fill potholes…

Here’s where I tip:

1. Restaurant’s where waitstaff come to my table for my order and with my food.
2. Small coffee shops where the person taking my order is also making my coffee.

Nowhere else. AND, I have a small stash of bills that I use to tip in cash. Never use the built-in tipping feature.

Apple Music exists on Android and is very good. Supports all sorts of Android specific features. It’s a good citizen of the platform.

I’ve had no issues using the bl touch on a textured bed up to this point, and I’ve been using mine in combination for about 18 months. The bed texture shouldn’t be significant enough if your z offset is appropriately dialed in.

Binder clips are up there with duct tape for the number of times they’ve been a good quick fix! Good chance to stock up and keep a few tubes on hand.

My policy has been to buy multiples of any part I replace. I’ve got a dozen tubes, a hundred nozzles, two beds, and a couple extra belts in my “spare parts” box at the moment. It helps that, often, buying multiple parts seems to drop the overall price per unit by a good bit.

In many cases, a priest, minister, or pastor has received education in counseling, theology, and ministerial care. While one might discount the necessity of theological education, a good seminary will ensure that there is a foundation from which emotional support might be offered.

$2200 a month for my rent. Applied for a mortgage that with taxes and insurance would be $1595. Got denied because the age of my accounts is too low (average of 6 years) after paying off my student loans.

GIMP is great and all, but it’s got nothing on some of the modern features of Photoshop.
