Scarf posted:Uhhh nope. It flat out locks all of the grains at the bottom of the container away from the brewed coffee. A normal French press does this too. But there's no guarantee that water won't continue to circulate through the filter the whole time. Especially if you use it as a travel mug. It looks great but the "special filter" claim is clearly marketing.

It's steel (but not stainless steel), which only differs from cast iron in the carbon content %. It's used almost exactly the same way as a cast iron pan (you have to season it).

Nothing says resistance as much as a skeleton. That t-shirt is so rad.quote:The origin of the Slam Dunking Skeleton – from the artist himself: “The 1992 Lithuanian Basketball Team represents what happens in freedom… people excel. The Lithuanian Basketball Team symbolized resistance against an oppressor, and the Slam Dunking Skeleton represented them, a whole country’s team.

LooksLikeABabyRat posted:Just because your contract is up doesn't mean you have to renew it. They just continue charging you the same rate. It's like living month to month in a rental after your lease is up. I actually renewed my contract a few times to pay less each time since I don't need data. I already have a nexus 7 wifi for everything fancy. My phone just does the most basic stuff (phonecalls and free texts) and I'm still waiting for it to die to buy a new one. It's starting to display some strange patterns on the screen though.

MaliciousOnion posted:That's a pretty awesome signing. I don't know about the US but in Belgium and France it is customary for the comic artists to spend 5 minutes or even more for signing books. Sometimes the colorist is even there for the final touch. Just got this last week for example. The guy was signing like 4 books per hour.

spog posted:Is that a new thing? It used to be that you had to manually cache the map data and to be honest, once it let me down, I wasn't prepared to trust it again You can manually cache the map by typing "ok maps" in the search bar. It's possible though that google maps makes a cache of the route/map but a lot of terrible things can happen. I'm not sure the zoom works at all on such maps, and I'm pretty sure from experience that if click somewhere else on the map/hide the route, you can't get it back without a connection. Also it will never recalculate your trip. Google map is great but it sucks terribly for offline use.

What I find even more disturbing than the looks of that watch with the big red alert button was the original 800$ price tag. I imagine it's worth 5$ to produce and the "95% off" is just marketing argument.

Aristophanes posted:When I went looking for a GC controller all the brand new ones on Ebay were $40+, and then around that much in shipping costs. There's nowhere to buy them local Oh yes, brand new ones. I purchased mine used. Yet that SSB GC controller is listed at 40$ for me on amazon so unless there's a discount it's not really cheaper than the white Wii ones. But yeah, these are great controllers and well worth the price of a Xbox 360 controller.

It's a lot of money, but not if you look at it over the lifetime of the sweater. You can wear their stuff until it goes out of style and then comes back into style without wearing it out.

Spamtheman posted:Yes, if you make your own pasta or pestos from scratch it's a massive labour saver. And it does things a hand blender certainly can't. I would rather buy a good blender (not hand) and a good mandoline than a heavy food processor using too much shelf space with all the accesories, but it's just personal preference.

Spamtheman posted:When you say food processor do you picture this: I call the first a food processor too and this a not handhled blender  There is sometimes but not always a blender accessory coming with the food processor. My point is that I almost never use the food processor for slicing or chopping neither (better with mandoline or knife), and if I want to do pesto or crush ice or make smoothies I use the blender. Basically my food processor is gathering dust. And it's taking much more than 20x20cm because of all the accesories I almost never use.  Long story short, I prefer a good blender and a good slicing mandoline than all this stuff. SpaceGoatFarts has a new favorite as of 13:38 on Jan 15, 2015 |

Jerry Cotton posted:Jesus christ did Möbius approve this? Or is he dead? He's dead now but wasn't around the time of the new edition. I have no idea if he was consulted over the re-coloring, but it was the editor's decision because supposedly that was more suited for the new launch on the American market (even if they did the same for the French version): http://joglikescomics.blogspot.be/2009/04/desastre-hurlant-t4-is-man-good.html My guess is it was to make it easier for the Humanos to market the whole Jodoverse as a coherent, realistic dark sci-fi universe, while the original Incal looked more magical and satirical. The ugly realistic coloring is much more in line with the other stories from the mythos like the Metabarons or the Technopères. At least they understood their mistake and re-edited these "classic editions" of the Incal. SpaceGoatFarts has a new favorite as of 17:49 on Jan 18, 2015 |

jadeddrifter posted:These look interesting. I will give them a try. I have a similar problem. I have to work so hard to get the floss between my teeth that it pops down and cuts my gums. I don't think these brushes are able to help remove stuff stuck between packed teeth at all. I believe only flossing can achieve it but I would be glad to be proven wrong since my teeth are packed too. I believe they are a support to brushing, not flossing.

Looks like it should be pretty fun. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elanlee/exploding-kittens You basically bought a version of this (from the KS): quote:Exploding Kittens started when Shane Small proposed a game to Elan Lee where a joker was inserted into a deck of cards and they took turns picking cards until the joker came up. It was called “Bomb Squad” and it wasn’t any fun at all. With Oatmeal illustrations...
