It may not be genetic, but so what? It's a preference. As long as people with aligning sexual orientation can express this under conditions of consent, where's the problematic element? Where's the harmful or damaging part of

No matter how powerful and expressive your language is, it still breaks down into lines of code to achieve something. I'm not trying to claim some complete, graphically represented program will have as many operations (or boxes) as the

IME, depending on your grind, it can take quite a bit of pressure to plunge the aeropress. Having sustained a cut (well, more a chunk gouged out) from a broken pyrex cup, I think I'll stick with the plastic.
