A true pound of green yields roughly 12 ounces of roasted coffee. 12oz bags have been standard in speciality shops for a long time honestly.

Foxy gestures is an enormous reason why I could never swap off Firefox in the first place

Good quality coffee should continue to develop in flavor substantially as it cools and is actually quite interesting to taste across the temperature spectrum. I’m sorry that hasn’t been your experience. I do understand coffee is not for everybody, but I do believe if you have the opportunity to experience well prepared craft coffee it has the potential to change that view.

Think of cooling coffee having a similar effect as decanting wine, because high end coffee is actually extremely similar to wine. The fruit is fermented in massive containers in a very similar fashion to wine making, imparting a large volume of complex flavors. The act of roasting coffee is actually one of the most difficult sciences in the culinary world, to the point that Michelin starred chefs want nothing to do with it - it’s actually that difficult to execute well. It is pretty easy for somebody to grab a bag of green coffee and absolutely destroy it. It’s incredibly rare for someone to do a coffee its justice. And even then, if the person preparing it once it is roasted doesn’t know what they are doing, they can take the best coffee in the world and make it taste awful.

I don’t think it’s that uncommon to sit down with a mug of coffee and sip on it over the course of an hour while working or having a chat with someone but maybe my 10 years of specialty coffee experience led me astray.

For what it’s worth, while most of what you said is accurate, espresso contains considerably less caffeine than people tend to think it does. What makes espresso so intense on that front is the concentration per volume, and how fast espresso beverages are consumed in comparison to drip coffee. Drinking a 12oz cup of drip over an hour or two is pretty standard. A double shot cappuccino though, not so much.

Not in the slightest. Both versions continue to function without issue for me. The one thing you have mentioned in this thread is such a non factor for what I’d imagine is a large majority of the user base. I can’t even tell you the last time I looked at the Mozilla home page

Ever the innovators. Just not how we the consumers envisioned it.

This but a 4a for me.

Hey thanks! Yeah it’s a neat track. Massive sound on it.

Not a toggle but my 4a slow charges over night when I have an alarm set so the battery will reach full just before the alarm goes off. I’ve woken up in the middle of the night before and sure enough the battery was only at 70-80%. I know its not quite the same, but it is a welcome feature

I plan to make the jump to an 8 this year. I was holding out on the headphone jack but it’s time. The 8 should be a decent jump and the rumors about docking are really appealing to me for light office work.

I’ve been a pixel user since the week they came out. My launch week pixel lasted nearly 5 years before the microphone gave out and I went to a 4a. Still on the 4a and love it. Pixels are a perfect middle ground between iPhone and the full android experience of a Samsung flagship imo. Convenient to use, incredible software integration across the entire phone, and my 4a still has a 3.5mm jack which is a massive selling point for me. I intend to upgrade to an 8 when they launch if the rumors surrounding the introduction of a docking capability are true. Being able to set my phone down onto a dock and have it convert to a light desktop PC would be amazing. I know Samsung has Dex currently, but I’m really just not a fan of what Samsung does with their phones.

Dodi repack is up. Anybody getting anything from IGG or any of the usual names deserves what they get imo. Dodi/fitgirl repacks or go next

I use PIA currently because it was cheap and I wanted something easy to use mostly for streaming reasons. It’s fine, not great, not awful. Connection drops more than I would like. I attribute that to Comcast knowing their IP addresses and dropping traffic in an attempt to catch any leaks. They got bought out by an iffy company not too long ago, and I plan to move to mullvad once this sub runs out

Bind your torrent client to the VPN so that doesn’t happen. Qbit has an easy enough interface to figure out how to do it pretty easy. Plenty of guides a quick Google should return
