Caveman

Battery acid sounds like someone stewed the beans too long. Burnt is popular though, dark roast is standard at cafes

The crema on top of espressos is also worth mentioning. If you get a big cup of strong coffee from espresso machine and remove the foam from the top it tastes waaaaay less bitter.

I’m addicted and I like all of them as long as it doesn’t have sugar. Filter, espresso, mocha, americano, instant, pour over, Arabic, golden and they can be anywhere between 0C and 85C in temperature.

My issue with room temp coffee is that I drink it too fast, lol

Yeah, café coffee is very often stupid strong and dark roast to serve the addicts that crave bitter (like me)

Late 20s you need to revisit all the shit you didn’t like before, especially moldy cheese. Sweet starts to suck a bit and bitter gets good.

Also not sure if it’s my addiction but black coffee is amazing. It’s an acquired taste and most people go milk and sugar - > milk - > black. Green tea, black tea, mushrooms, spicy, wasabi, mustard, strong gouda, grana padano and so much more are all so good.

Yeah, a lot of people don’t realise that if running is not enjoyable then they’re putting way more effort than necessary.

Running costs a pair of shoes every now and then and extra laundry detergent but otherwise free. Like any other hobby you absolutely can spend tons of money on it but it’s not required.

Runkeeper is a free app where you can log down your runs but a casio watch with stopwatch is good enough if you know the distance.

Also, contrary to what a lot of people think you don’t have to push yourself, you can just be easy running (chill jogging) and still make massive gains in endurance, speed, physical health and mental health. Depending on your starting point brisk walking can be sufficient to get started and then transition to “let me just jog a bit” when you feel like it and still have massive gains.

You can even combine it with other hobbies like audiobooks, music and/or podcasts.

Running feels to me like “cleaning the pipes” of the body that’s relaxing and makes the remainder of the day a bit more enjoyable.

Can confirm, saw foo fighters around 2018 and it was an absolute banger show.

One important point I want to add is that vaping outside of the recommended guidelines does produce harmful chemicals. That is with an old burner unit on refillable vapes or vaping with next to no liquid left in the resevoir. I’m not as well versed in the nuances as you are but I’ve heard that the taste difference is basically because it’s more toxic.

Just noticed your name, figures

I’m pulling this out of my ass, no pun intended, but I’ve always imagined it as homephobes distancing themselves from anything gay, especially being gay and liking gay stuff.

Like as in they would never go to a gay bar with their gay friend even though they platonically like the friend, enjoying dancing and so on. If gay stuff is on TV they have to affirm the mantra “I’m not gay so I don’t like stuff” so they use slurs to reaffirm their stance.

There’s also the thing where people view manly and gay as opposite. They identify as manly so they have to not like gay stuff.

Bottom line, I think they’re insecure about their masculinity, afraid of actually becoming gay or both.

Drop soap in the shower is another one.

Funny, you actually think businesses are less varied in the nordics. Capitalism is also just not slow, nordics at the top of billionaires per capita lists, income and other money metrics. Only difference is we’re not swimming in poor people like the US.

I come from a nordic country with very high level of union membership. Pretty much every time it’s a benefit to be a part of a union just because of collective bargaining. It’s also very important for when there’s a dispute and you need a lawyer, the unions can have a salaried lawyer that has experience with your contract because it’s the same one as for all the other people.

Unions also sometime provide heavily discounted vacation homes and bunch of other nice things.

I wonder how the whole age shenanigans are going to be implemented. In my limited understanding it would be tricky to do it double blind while not allowing spamming and have zero trust requirements for data.

Maybe something like service - > user, user scans qr code, signs, sends to provider unique request, user - > EU, EU verifies only user data and signs and service can check.

But then if the service checks in with the EU the EU knows which user accessed which service from the url and you have to trust the EU to not keep track of where the request came from.

I guess if something like this will be open source then GDPR could be used to prevent that from being logged. I don’t know, I’m rambling now.

Caching and race conditions

I literally said no my wife the other day “You know, I think ‘Don’t negotiate with terrorists’ applies here”

My kid is getting close to 2y and he’s getting into limit testing now. Wish me luck

Down votes probably because they’re less of a problem than expected they would be 15 years ago but still problematic. Very large regions in Africa/Asia still deal with overpopulation and poverty although India and China have made some massive progress in the last 15 years. For semaglutide it’s still early days, nobody expected there to be an actual general drug against obesity but more long term studies are still needed.

The filler words do carry meaning just not content although using them every time establishes a new baseline. They can be used to convey vibes, to harden, soften or communicate lack of confidence for example.

If you kinda/sorta deleted a person’s account, you still deleted the account but you are implicitly saying you didn’t mean to for example. Lowkey can be a modifier to mean you don’t feel strongly about something.
