Because all his other deviancy didn't affect her until this one.

Those mods sound just like how the father of fascism himself used to behave. Quite a coincidence.

Shit. Can I re-roll?

As a species we have evolved with certain traits. These traits are the reason we are the top.species. Try as we may, with society, we cannot just blink these traits away,; no living thing can evolve that fast.

So whenever someone comes up with a great idea of how things could be in society, they often ignore our species' traits of ruthless ambition, persistent survival, tribalistic loyalty, etc. It is like when people get border collies thinking they'll be great pets, but then realise their true nature and how much work and.effort has to be put into them every day to get.the most.out of them.

Idiots think we're somehow different and beyond the other animals, but we're not. How society is today is exactly how we are. If someone wants to change it, they need to factor human nature, else it won't work.

Yeah but your income adjusted for it, so stop complaining /s

Yep. Cowboy coffee is Turkish brew. The only difference is a lack of any extra implements and it's usually done in a big camp kettle or pot. The grind isn't that fine either. But for all intents and purposes, the method is the same. Greek coffee is also very similar.

I'm also a big fan of boiling more tea than normal to get a strong flavour lol. But usually out camping, I'll have my coffee grind and just tea bags because they're much easier Always double bag it 😁 Big peppermint fan, but also like a lot of smooth and flowery blends. Like the opposite of the coffee, I guess—cover all bases.

Bloom is the period that the coffee floats and foams out bubbles, because the heat is expelling the CO2 (and other gases) from the grind. Once it's out, bloom is over, the foam/bubbles settle, and the coffee sinks down to the bottom having no gases to float with anymore. During bloom, most of the flavour is being released from the grind. Think of it like the coffee is "opened up" or blooming.

Because there's no way to pull out the grind in cowboy coffee, bloom just goes until msx, making strong flavour. But, that's where pulling it off heat early or adding cold water can control bloom time to weaken the hit. Personally, I just max it out and dilute it in the cup if it's too strong, but I like strong flavour coffee.

Cowboy coffee is delicious if you do it right.

1. Fine grind
2. Get the water boiling so it's rolling
3. Add grind. The rolling helps keep the foam and spillage down as CO2 escapes, but feel free to agitate with a spoon to help.
4. Bring off heat after a minute and let bloom finish. All CO2 out, grind sinks and settles.
5. Leave it resting for another 3-5 mins after bloom is done.

Some people like to add cold water, I don't. Really depends what you like and there's a few ways to go about it, but basic concept stays the same. Boil, bloom, rest.

I make coffee in the middle of Bumfuck Nowhere a lot lol. A fire, tin, and water is the only coffee machine you need when done right 👍

I'd do my job for free for a few days just to help people out (which I like doing) and there's parts of it I enjoy.

But I like paddling down the river much more.

For most people, a paycheck is a business financially compensating them for the time lost and the effort done. The business is of no value to the employee otherwise. The compensation must be fair and worth their while, else the business will have to find someone worth what they're willing to offer in compensation.

"Why should I pay for their burning down house?! Privatise the fire department!"

There's just a lot of thought put in for the user. Excellent UI and productivity features, so much customisability. It's super fast and light. Then there's built in blockers, VPN, all the usual. To top it all off, it's made by a small group of Norwegians that hate corporate control and love an open and free internet. They even have their own fediverse instances.

After I had spent an hour going down the rabbit hole of tweaking every UI element so the browser was now my browser, I was hooked. I still have to use Firefox at work, but I now find it intrusive, sluggish, and crude. I also hate having to restart it for updates lol.

I prefer Edge over Chrome, and if I had to choose one, Edge is definitely better. But gladly I don't have to choose one and never will. Been with Vivaldi for years after switching off FF.
