The whole show was actually product placement ad for martian coffee. Weird space communists apparently make the best coffee

I think she said to use lemons if you can get them(but Holden probably can't seeing as he's on a lovely ice hauler). So maybe try a bit of lemon juice in your coffee first before you toss in match heads. Or maybe she meant lemon zest / rinds

You should always salt your coffee. Salt makes everything taste better.

FetusSlapper posted:Why was it such a personal thing? I'm defiantly reading way to much into a brief moment of a sci-fi space opera. Not that they couldn't have added a layer for the show, but the match head thing doesn't happen in the book, as far as I recall, and the Holden/coffee connection pretty much boils down to Holden always being really appreciative of a good cup of coffee.

FetusSlapper posted:Sulfur seems like the last thing you want to add to something to make it taste better. Then again the Finns seem adamant about their lutefisk; but that is lye, not sulfur. I thought maybe it was like the old at a pinch of salt to a cup of coffee brewed by the bureaucratic standard but it kind of came off like he was weening himself off of some kind of future heroin or something. Why was it such a personal thing? I'm defiantly reading way to much into a brief moment of a sci-fi space opera. That's the Swedes, lutefisk is disgusting. We eat baked and sweetened rye porridge that looks like poop.

Egg shell is another homespun remedy for bad coffee. I buy the cheapest coffee, and I've found that the low-end whole beans (grinding using a cheap electric spice grinder that is in no way suited for coffee) gives you a way nicer cup than the low-end pre-ground stuff. I still keep some of the latter on hand in the freezer for when I'm in a hurry or need to be really quiet in the morning though.

Combat Pretzel posted:You sure? Because that scene didn't come as a surprise to me. Can't be assed to reread the book to prove a point, tho. Well, now I'm not sure. I think I recall taking the scene as a no-exposition version of "Holden is disappointed in his coffee options" rather than something explicitly from the book, but I could definitely be wrong. Either way, the gimmick boils down to Holden being kind of obsessive about good coffee, which is hard to find in space.

hottubrhymemachine posted:Read the first book, loved it and dove immediately in to the second. Finished that in a few days and read the third and found it kinda disappointing. Now I'm ten pages into the fourth book and I haven't opened it on my kindle since last week. Anyone else feel like the quality dipped with 3? I thought the third was okay , but the fourth wasn't the best. The fifth was a great return to form though.

Zsinjeh posted:Came to post this. Egg shells used to be the classic thing way back in the old days (at least here in the Nordics) when you brewed coffee in your pot over a fireplace/stove. Since you only had that one pot with you out camping/the fields you added egg shells from the hardboiled eggs you made before and it would bind the ground coffee to the bottom of the pot and make it easier to pour in a cup without adding coffee grounds (plus less bitter). Also it totally sounds like something a Belter would do (if they had space eggs available There's no reason belter's wouldn't have eggs or livestock I know Air and Water are at a premium, but food wise just feed them the recycled dead like they do with everyone else. Belter beef would be pretty bad I would imagine though, very low muscle on those cows.

Phi230 posted:There's no reason belter's wouldn't have eggs or livestock Plants are pretty much always going to be more energy-efficient. For belters who can afford meat, it's vat-grown, which avoids spending energy on all the parts of the animal you're not planning to eat. I think I recall mentions that their vat-grown meat is actually pretty good, so they've at least go that going for them.

I don't remember any livestock being mentioned. Maybe chickens? Most of the food eaten in the Belt is grown on Ganymede and it's mostly plant stuff + vat meat. I would imagine they have space catfish, they're good in a hydroponic loop. Eat the organic waste, poop fertilizer, and eat the fishies.

I liked the third and fourth books a lot, but mostly because I like weird Clarkeian alien poo poo. I think the protomolecule aliens are fascinating and weird, and I love the unique challenges of trying to establish a foothold on a planet that didn't evolve to factor in humans.

NZAmoeba posted:Oh god kiwi accents always stick out like a sore thumb in american tv shows I didn't realize until I saw a screenshot with a caption that Bobbie is saying 'Who are we?' in the trailer. I thought it was just "Ooo- ahh- wei" as some sort of futuristic Marine ooh-rah.  Looks like they didn't allow filming of the whole SDCC panel but they threw up a couple snippets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSJZj5XiTAY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad_ANGiYb2E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nW8KhUNtkE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEfG7H4IqTo Frankie Adams had some sort of flight delay so didn't make it in time, oh well.

I finished reading Caliban's War and most of Abaddon's Gate in a little over a week, and I'm pretty interested to see how they merge the last half of Leviathan Wakes with Caliban's War. Also really excited to see how they translate the crazy poo poo in Book 3 to the screen, but I might be waiting a while for that.

I want to just say how loving bullshit it is to get this show outside of North America. The full season isn't available to stream or purchase digitally anywhere and it costs thirty five loving quid to get the series on disc. Even the loving trailers are all region locked! Saw a link earlier in the thread to a bunch of cool supplemental stuff they had up on the site? NOPE! Not allowed to loving look at that if you live in the UK! It's like they actively don't want the show to do well. Glad I pirated it. Goddamn. Captain Fargle fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Aug 15, 2016 |

I assume those wouldn't play in an Australian Bluray player due to regions, I think there's a limit to how many times you can switch your computer's region or something? Seems like a hassle either way. I wouldn't spend actual money on The Magicians.
