Helvetica praise always feels like wine commentary to me. 20% of it is probably on point, 80% is the reviewer stroking their ego. It's really boring. It's not even Vanilla.

I've never used one of these fully automatic coffee makers that didn't make terrible, weak coffee. Making good coffee isn't expensive and it isn't rocket science. It doesn't even have to be that fresh to still be go

In any other time we wait in the dark huddled around our AM radios to hear if they've figured this thing out. Or we close the city gates and start burning witches. Or we burn animals on the altar to Yahweh and Ashera. It's unusual

A good chunk of those aren't necessarily false claims, just ones that haven't been proven true. The study is misinforming us about the misinformation, and NYT is misinforming us about that. Maybe it was bats. Seems like the jury i
