Not a fan. I tried a lemongrass infused anaerobic washed coffee from Black & White that just seemed to leave a dry finish on the mouth. Ultimately, I think infusions are a bit gimmicky, and I have migrated away from roasters who are leaning into them (like B&W). I’m loving pretty much everything from Flower Child right now, and keep coming back to them.

It’s all that Millimeter Wave 5G garbage that drops coverage like a fart in the wind, hardly ever works, requires more expensive phone plans, and requires a special radio on your phone in addition to the normal 5g one.

They are cheaper, but I would hesitate on going with a manual grinder if your primary use is Espresso. As someone who has used a hand grinder for their pour overs daily for years now, I can tell you that there’s a HUGE difference between hand grinding daily for pour over vs espresso. Because you’ll need to grind much finer for espresso, it takes significantly more effort/time to hand grind a shot of espresso than it does for a pour over. And FORGET about doing it for a group of friends/family if you ever intend to host anything.

I would probably go for something like the Baratza Encore at a minimum. I know, given that you got your espresso machine for $15, the prospect of spending 100+ dollars on a grinder might seem steep… But believe me, you’ll need something that can grind fine enough for espresso with a decent particle distribution. You’ll never get there with a blade grinder.

You COULD do that if you were given Ketamine instead of what is usually administered. You would be conscious but able to be operated on, as was done during Vietnam for wounded soldiers.

Miles ahead of any Lemmy app so far.

People have a certain familiarity with Sync. I would pay $20 if “Relay for Reddit” were ported over. The other apps just lack a ton of polish unfortunately. Liftoff is the closest to being what I want (besides Sync).

Even still, I don’t understand the backlash against the Sync dev charging for his work. If he’s successful, others may see a viable path forward and follow him. We should WANT a variety of quality Lemmy clients out there for users. A good experience is how you gain/retain users. I’m also all for open source options for users. Users should have a choice.

5.0.4: Do not post illegal content of any type. Do not engage in any activity that may encourage, facilitate or provide access to illegal transactions. Do not share or encourage the sharing of abusive or sexually suggestive content involving minors. Any violent or otherwise inappropriate behavior involving a minor will also always be strictly prohibited.

5.0.4 seems to be in conflict with the existence of !piracy. I’m not complaining about its existence, just mentioning that it seems to be a conflict.
