The real answer is to have them put their heads together.

I think the idea of using coarse grounds for the French press is mostly for filtering out the grounds with the steel mesh on the plunger. If you have a finer mesh, by all means, go for it.

I’ve also seen some of my fellow coffee lovers at work use filters wrapped around their press, or using an ultra-fine metal mesh on their air press. They’ll go for a finer grind, and it definitely helps the brew steep quicker.

Personally, if I’m using a glass press, I can usually tell the brew is done by jostling the pot and seeing if the grounds sink. In my metal one, it’s usually 5+ mins, and then it’ll jostle and test the resistance with the plunger to see if the grounds sank.

Also the fact that they are made of metal. Heck, just the idea of lighting a fire below deck of a ship made of cast iron back in the civil war was seen as something insane.

I’m interested to see what they come up with to solve the issues of cold environments at altitude and refueling between legs.

I fix giant metal birds that light themselves on fire and scream really loud to fly across the sky. The kingdom heavily regulates who fixes them, how they fix them, and who flies them to make sure everyone is safe.

It’s also very easy to run an AI image generation tool locally using open source models.

The issue with those items is that they are not in the list of approved materials for Boeing’s manuals. It might be normal to see these sort of practices in a line maintenance environment where it’s hard to get the proper tooling; but the manufacturer should be abiding by it’s own regulated publications. It’s just more symptoms of their cost cutting and schedule rushing measures that are leading to their quality issues.

My company has been spending a lot of time and money doing warranty repairs on brand new airplanes that we received from Boeing over the past couple of years. It’s very concerning when a customer has to fix things that should have never left the factory floor.

Payday 2 was good for a while, but then it got buried under a mountain of DLC and people slowly stopped playing because of the aggressive monetization. They came out swinging with the same tactics in Payday 3 with only minor content improvements, so people weren’t as motivated to buy the same game again.

Cities: Skylines 2 appears to be going the same route.

I just leave it on maximum. Too many spoofed local numbers. If it’s someone important a d they’re not in my contacts, they’ll either make it through the screener or leave a message.

Considering that writer is pumping out multiple articles a day, they most likely are to some extent.

It’s times like this, I can hear Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle:
“I expected nothing, and I’m STILL disappointed.”

Just unplug them? Most appliances still draw some electricity (i.e. phantom load) when turned off.

Yes, but I like gaming without having to tweak things for every game. Proton is looking pretty good thanks to the Steam Deck. Hopefully it’ll be a very solid option when it comes time for me to make a decision.

Unfortunately, a lot of my music software and hardware is incompatible with both Linux and W11

If it’s not a game you can redeem through Steam, then install through desktop mode and add it to your list of games in Steam (add non-steam game). That will let you access it through the normal Steam OS

That just means you can’t use autoland in low visibility conditions. Modern IRUs (inertial reference unit) are highly accurate laser gyros that can use GPS for correction, but will throw out the data if it doesn’t make sense. Navigation won’t be affected much, and autoland (if used) will still rely on VHF guidance.

Home internet data caps WERE a thing of the past when Obama appointed Tom Wheeler as FCC chairman, who then pushed rulings to classify ISPs as a public utility and started enforcing net neutrality. Companies that didn’t play ball started getting fined until they fell in line. Being a former executive for a major ISP, he was very familiar with the anti-competitive practices and underhanded tricks those companies had been using for years; and he used those practices against them to finally make some pro-consumer progress for internet access in the US.

Then, Trump came in and put Ajit Pai in charge of the FCC (no joke, my phone kept auto correcting his name to Shit Pie). Anyways, Shit Pie tore down those rulings and undid all those years of progress as part of the Trump administration’s anti-Obama initiative. Even though it was proven time and again that what he did was directly against public opinion, and that ISPs were flooding the public commentary with bot posts(some even made by dead people); Shit Pie continued to meme about himself and drink from an obnoxiously large Reese’s coffee mug while doing so. At this point, every provider of internet services has added back data caps in the US, and they have continued to increase their prices to maintain that 99.9% profit margin. They’ve also locked down more areas to prevent municipal broadband services from forming, and they’re even pushing for legislation to prevent them from ever happening.

The current administration has done absolutely nothing. In fact, they’ve been so unremarkable, I have no idea who is in charge of the FCC, and I don’t feel like looking it up.
