> I cannot think how starting from already hot water vs. letting the water warm up and boil from the stove, could make any noticeable difference. The idea is just that the beans don't get cooked as much by the heat ahead of the bre

Funny, I was just thinking that they're refreshing different looking. Almost everything on the road today looks the same to me, I often have to look at the badge on a vehicle to know the manufacturer.

Well, Firefox hasn't nagged me in a long time and you've just installed it, so why not give it a try for a while? > shitty VPN The Mozilla VPN is a rebranded Mullvad VPN, AFIK which I understand is very good. Even if there are

Ok, but obviously in this case you can check the "Don't show me this message again" checkbox and, like me, you'll have had to endure the burden of responding to this nag just once in years of using Firefox. I may be forg

By 25x14, do you mean 2560x1440? If so, are you saying that a $15 device will magically make a 2560x1440 monitor higher resolution than 3840x2160? If that's what you're saying, do you have a link that provides some detail on this

Why not just get a 4K 27”? They can be had for around $220 USD nowadays. I paid that for mine. I do dislike the fact that Apple removed decent support for lower resolution monitors, but I also don’t see why anyone would prefer them to highe

Something that's frustrating to me wrt Safari is my, admittedly edge case, in which the company I work for won't allow using personal Apple IDs on company supplied macs. Apple only allow Safari sync to work between computers with

Right, Boston proper doesn't have any lighthouses actually. This one is technically in Hull, MA. It's the lighthouse for Boston Harbor, and it's also the first lighthouse built in the US. The first tower on the site was built

That's funny because as I recall the BMW iDrive was widely derided when it came out. I have one on my old BMW and I like it, never understood the objections.

The final cover for Karl Ove Knausgaard's book is what caused me to pick it up years ago in a bookstore and buy it. Not sure I would have noticed the original design.

Interesting, that never occurred to me. Niche are a UK company, the grinders are designed in the UK, but as I understand, made in China.

I've been doing this for years and haven't seen any evidence of mold, even in more humid summer months.

For years my wife and I would run around the piers near us. Occasionally we'd speculate about what these ship marks meant and I'd promise myself I'd look them up when I get home, but I never actually did. Very happy to have a

I guess it depends on your app, but I’ve never felt like I needed more than 16GB for Swift/app dev.

Same for me on a mac. I only saw this on 118 and haven't seen them again since upgrading to 119.0 Edit: Spoke too soon. Just happened again while joining a GoogleMeet meeting, if that's relevant.

Well, there was one bit of nonsense and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm referring to the Ren & Stimpy "Log Song" sound track to the video of the woman walking up the stairs: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&amp

Yes, that’s my understanding, and my experience. The green line on the older tracks seems to be normal.

Yes, that was the point I was trying to make. Why would should users complain about a spec-sheet item that they don't use.
