  • I’ve tested it for a while. My thought is that Aeropress really saves you in situations where actually you can’t have precise measurements and fancy equipments, that is an office where you can’t weight things and you have to measure quantities very roughly by eye

    In this kind of situation I really can’t see how the reversed method improves the process. Everything is so simple and approximate that loosing some drops of water on the bottom really doesn’t change much.

    Also, just using a 2 filters and creating a vacuum I guess is enough to cancel even that issue






  • Judge reverses herself, allowing Northville to close downtown streets this summer after all

    That’s good news, however it’s not like other opposing businesses owner doesn’t have a point

    Specialty retail stores in the city’s downtown area seem to be doing OK, she noted. Those like hers, who sell clothing or other goods that can be found in many other locations, are not.

    “Nobody asked us if we wanted closures,” Kauffman said. “Nobody came and talked to our business about what it would mean for us. Nobody’s supplementing my rent to make up for the losses that I have because I’m paying rent based on 30,000 to 60,000 cars a day. That’s the part that upsets me the most.”

    I mean, I live in Europe but specifically in Italy, not exactly the ruling country in the field of walkable and carless road systems, so I get that people living in USA are extremely disadvantaged in this sense, but exactly because I live in Italy I also understand what it means when an authority makes chances that are good on paper but very badly executed in reality, that’s why I honestly can’t blame completely the people who disagreed with the closure

    However I really hope they will be able to keep the neighbourhoods closed and safe in the end, but complaints needs to be listened and the people struggles acknowledged




  • That’s interesting, I never heard of that. The thing is at the moment my bike commuting is extremely rare, just recently I started to ride around both for health reasons and because I simply enjoy it a lot.

    But still, they seem indeed something to consider. What surprises me is that I supposed I needed to get a bike which is lighter than the one I’m riding (an old B’twin bike that someone gave to me), but maybe I was wrong








  • That is quite surprising for me. I knew that outside Italy, and USA in particular, the coffee culture were a lot more varied, but I didn’t expect common stores to also embrace it in this was

    However it makes sense actually. Heven here in normal stores you can find coffee for espresso machines and moka, however specific varieties and single origin roasts are getting more and more common

    Yeah, that’s concerning. However after being on the Fediverse for a while, I understand that the freedom from corporations comes in a trade-off with privacy, and even if I’m not tech savvy I’m convinced this isn’t going to change. Maybe there should more understanding about this, and we should put online only things we are totally ok with being publicly available and share private stuff only in specific places such as encrypted chats






  • There are two things you should check in order to enable the snapping you need

    For the action you need to perform, check the snapping menu on the right side of the upper toolbar, with the magnet icon 🧲 You can activate/deactivate it, but also open the snapping settings panel in which you can choose the behaviour of the snapping. Here you have a more detailed description Snapping on Affinity.help

    You may need to check also the curve snapping if you need dinamic guides during curves manipulation. You can find the setting in the upper context toolbar while using the Pen tool or the Node tool. Also for these settings you can refer to the official guide: Curve snapping on Affinity.help
