The essentials of good coffee are a pleasant flavour profile served at the right temperature. The flavour profile will be changed by bean selection, roasting, grind coarseness and pressure, the “dose” (volume of ground coffee placed in the

Throttling an engine down to zero would not happen during propulsive landing until the craft is on the ground. Reducing thrust to zero would result in violent rotation of the craft, and the available thrust would be well below the weight of

Take the number out. What can we do to ensure we can feed all the people. Break it down to the level of consumption per person, and methods we have of sourcing the inputs and disposing of the outputs. What fresh water, energy and land area

I don’t see how “population is the root of the food availability problem” compares to “lungs are the root of the smog problem”. Can you elucidate?

You are confused. I was talking about stand alone licences, not stand alone vaults. I will not use a 1Password.com account regardless of the country it is hosted in because I do not trust AgileBits or any government, especially not a Five E

This isn’t freeware. Previously we paid for a standalone licence which cost more than the current yearly recurring licence cost.
