What kind of coffee do you all buy to make at home and how do you prepare it?

I’ve been getting the medium roast from Trader Joe’s and it’s pretty good for such inexpensive coffee. I make it in my French press.

Local coffee (with Trader Joe's blends as a fill in), burr grinder, Hario v60 mug toppers to brew. Quick, inexpensive, easy cleanup, and delicious. The French Press is too much of a pain in the rear end to clean so it's been relegated to making cold brew. I also have a chemex which is an occasional weekend brewer (way slower than Hario though) and an aero press that I really should use more (especially on east African stuff). Happy brewing!

Thanks for the goondolences.

Not sure what the hell happened to her. Had some emesis and loose stools last night before bed, but nothing insane—she’s had colitis intermittently throughout her life but not in awhile. We got her all set up in our bathroom in her bed with water and stuff and woke up to her seizing. She stayed unconscious. Had a bunch of rectal bleeding. She died in my truck on the way to the emergency vet.

Rough loving morning. Poor Marge. I don’t know if it was bloat or if she got into something in the yard or if it was an intestinal blockage or something. Obviously I’m blaming myself for not rushing her to the vet last night immediately and probably will forever.

So sudden. gently caress.

They were trying to give me a chest x-ray (came in complaining that I had slept the previous 30 hours, felt awful, and had butt stuff) and I guess I was super dehydrated, because I remember gripping the thingy then the next thing I know I'm on the ground and the nurse is screaming

Try not to blame yourself. I took my dog to the ER a few years ago. We thought it might be bloat. He's a stoic pup so after a thorough exam they came back with " We don't know what's going on. Here's some pain pills." He was fine a few days later. Probably pulled a muscle.

These things can be impossible to tell. It's not your fault for not jumping at everything when you have a whole family to take care of. You took good care of Maggie.

It’s a weird coincidence but a) I didn’t buy this av and b) she was named for Marge Gunderson from Fargo, perhaps my favorite movie character of all time.

Thanks for the condolences. It’s been a long one.

It definitely doesn’t help that a lot of people still think of mental illness as something you can just “tough it out”. If it’s not a visible injury, it’s not real to them.

Doesn’t say if he was vaccinated or not, but at 84 I can see how even getting a case while vaccinated could be deadly.

I’ll always remember him for lying about the run up to Iraq.

I’m not going to cry over Powell but I will say he created a smart doctrine for Desert Storm that the US would have been smart not to immediately abandon a decade later. Go to war with overwhelming force, full international support, clear and limited objectives.

Frances McDormand is a great actress but I can’t think of a single character she’s played that’s particularly similar to how I’ve always envisioned Lady Macbeth. Not complaining, I’m interested to see how she does!

Too bad he literally helped abandon it during his time in the Bush II administration.

And TYL that Colin Powell was the first Secretary of State to use email, and he had the State Department use GMail because the State Department didn't have a roll their own code email system.

Ok I have it slightly off but he did modernize the State Department but in a very early 2000s way that nerds like us look at and go "Well there's your mistake" I can't find the source that shows he used GMail but I remember it.

https://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/colin-powell-hillary-clinton-email-state-department-115870

quote:

“When I entered the State Department I found an antiquated system that had to be modernized and modernized quickly,” he said. “I started using [email] in order to get everybody to use it, so we could be a 21st-century institution and not a 19th-century [one]. But I retained none of those emails, and we are working with the State Department to see if there’s anything else they want to discuss with me about those emails.”
