Doesn't even have to be right wing (a.k.a. the extreme right)... even moderate at this point equals business-as-usual equals right off the cliff as soon as possible.

Imagine congestion pricing hurting the city's economy more than allowing public transit to fall apart will...

Tim Watkins, energy-based economics writer from the UK, had some interesting observations about this in his blog today. Scroll down to the third/final subheading, "Advertising doesn't work that way".

I've been doing this for several years. I kept the original not-very-fine strainer on my Bodum press, because anything finer would be too hard or slow to press even after several extra minutes' wait for settling. So instead, I just transfer the coffee to a carafe after pressing, and post-filter the stuff with a paper filter.

It's not ideal, but it turns out to be the best coffee I can make in multi-cup quantities with no more expensive apparatus than just the French press. It tastes far better than any routine with coarser grounds. It seems more efficient in grounds (and time spent) than pour-over. And although my aeropress can exceed this quality when loaded with fine grounds, it can't make several cups at once.

Thanks for this. I'm glad you didn't have to deal with searing pain since panic is already more than enough.

I don't mean this to invalidate your experience in any way; I'll just state sources to make clear where I got that idea.

Yes, drowning is known to be quite painful but only for a very brief time before unconsciousness sets in.
