100% agree, we are in a far better situation now. I was really hoping he would be beyond reproach, and we could completely turn a corner on the the political sleaze, even if it is just a few suits and football tickets.

I know you’re right, but if it wasn’t for Apple dropping iOS support the X is still a perfectly good phone. I’m seriously considering waiting another year and hoping my banking apps continue to work.

Ironically I did think about getting the Apple Watch X for the first time, but they all require a minimum of the iPhone Xs

On the X and wondering if the Max is too much of a jump for me. Although it’s another year where I’m not really seeing a big reason to upgrade.

Big fan BTW, your lounge chairs are cool AF.

Thank you, as a TPM1.0 pc owner I did how borked a forced Win11 install would be.

Ooh not sure we have those in the UK, we do have San Francisco Bay coffee beans which are good but Lavazza is smoother. I did wonder if the San Fran was just for us in Europe so we had “Exotic American” coffee.

I’m an advocate for separate grinder and espresso machines, just seems like an unnecessary complication, and the combo machines seem to take up more space than both the dedicated ones.

If you are looking at the lower end of the market, spare parts and repairability are often nonexistent or afterthoughts at best. If combo machine breaks you now have to get another combo or buy the separates, and even the best value combo is more $ than comparable separates.

Well I’ve asked Santa for an AeroPress for Christmas, I take a French press camping but we broke it this year. Planning on getting the metal filter, and finding out myself.

Do you have a Costco near you? I usually get Lavazza beans when it’s on offer for £10/$13 per kg (~2lbs) but Amazon sometimes have it cheaper delivered. One word of warning though, the Kirkland coffee beans are terrible, no idea how they make It so bitter.

Also have you tried a re-usable metal filter for your AeroPress?

Do you just roast it in your home oven? Does it make your house smell like a Starbucks knock box?

Just had this conversation with my partner who wanted to get a Nespresso (no idea why). I also have an espresso machine and have 2 large coffees a day, a 1kg bag of beans is £10 ( $13) and lasts over a month. Espresso machine and a grinder is the most eco and pocket friendly way.

My primary responsibility is to the animal I am caring for, who has no choice but to eat what I give them.

You might be happy to know we have replaced her afternoon duck stick with a carrot.

Having read a lot around this, and even just beyond the headline of the linked article, please be cautious with your furry friends.

The actual stance is “possible, but not recommended”

I’ve come to the conclusion that although I’m going to try and reduce my meat intake with a view to a complete switch to more sustainable options, I’m not going to mess with my dogs diet.

If a peer-reviewed study from an actual canine dietitian comes to light which confirms a plant based diet product is at least as healthy as a meat based diet, I’m happy to change my mind.
