No pictures cause :effort: but went to the record store today and got:
Prodigy - Fat of the Land
Pendulum - Hold Your Color
Primus - Pork Soda
Voodoo Glow Skulls - Who Is, This Is
Reel Big Fish - Skacoustic
Bad Religion - Against the Grain
And Deftones - Around the Fur

Also got my dad to part with his record collection cause it was just sitting in the basement collecting dust, he doesn't even have a turntable anymore. Lot of 70s rock (Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd, Styx, Boston, Kansas, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, and so on). Some good gems in there too, original release of License to Ill is the most :eyepop:.

Just to clarify: is the first volume as the question about the bees' opinion, or is it the entire 3 volume set?

Cause, while I would find their views and analysis interesting, I am not sure that a creature whose entire vocabulary is 'flowers left', flowers right' and 'attack' are going to fill the entire set with much insight.

I needed a new laptop, so I fixed up and sold 5-6 old junk laptops I had lying around that were taking up space, and spent the profits on a preowned Lenovo T480s. Just base specs, but came with 16GB RAM for some reason. Also has over 2 years of on-site warranty left. It's quite a step up from my Dell Latitude E6520.

Always buy used business laptops.

Why does a nespresso come with a vegetable peeler, and two...cutting wheels?

The peeler is made from recycled capsules. I’m under the assumption that they’re making a statement like... “hey guys look! We’re recycling and making cool things from the capsules!”

The cutting discs are actually coasters for the glassware. The discs are pretty thick and nice.

They're saying if you're the type of person to use individually packaged coffee capsules for your single-cup Brewer you aren't the kind of person who's going to peel potatoes.

Solution: just use red potatoes as they are delicious and the skin is good too.

I get wanting more convenience, but if you are the type of person who invested in a hand-crank burr grinder, a french press and an aeropress, and have been using them, I'm not sure you are going to want drink what comes out of that Nespresso.

Nespresso capsules have very little coffee. They have like 6grams of coffee while a typical espresso drink you order at coffee shops have 20g or more. Nespressso is weaksauce bullshit.

For the price of that nespresso set you could have gotten an entry level Gaggia and had real espresso instead, and an actual steam wand to do good milk based drinks.

Also lol at giving you a feel good peeler when 99% of those capsules are definitely going into landfill.

To be fair you need a good grinder with the Gaggia to get the best out of it. But pre-ground works ok with the pressurized filter. It's huge though and I get the appeal of something small like the Nespresso. I just wish it tasted better and wasn't so wasteful.
