Wood working ? Whoever craftsman who first makes a stringed-instrument, compared to a piano an acoustic guitar is a relatively simple instrument and it gives me endless joy even without company or electricity.
I use an app called QR alarm or something. It only turns off when I scan its QR code which I’ve pinned to the other side of the room. Having to get up and actually think about scanning something helps me more than when I just used an alarm clock across the room
Was thinking about picking up an aeropress for camping, and was just going to start with the James Hoffman recipe, but I’m open to trying something different.
I’ve had an Aeropress for about a decade, and for the price I think it’s a great tool to have in the cupboard. It has positives and negatives.
On the plus side, it’s portable, fast, and makes a single serving.
On the downside, it’s single serving, and it produces mediocre cups (IMO, YMMV).
I use mine to make my wife’s once-weekly decaf, and when I run myself out of cold brew and am not in the mood for an espresso drink. Maybe 5x a month. I’m really glad I have it; I’d be unhappy if it were the only thing I had.
If you do get one, look on YouTube for best Aeropress method. Aeropress runs a competition and declares a winner for best method; the current winner is a rather fussy inverted method - but given the design, “fussy” for an Aeropress really isn’t hugely different in effort from Hoff’s “simplified” method. It’s a pretty simple process and you really have to go out of your way to make it hard, unlike pour-over which can be fractally and infinitely fussified.

The Hoffman recipe is 12g of coffee, 250ml of water, 2 minutes steep time, give a small swirl to the recipient, steep another 30 seconds, then press down slowly over at least another 30 seconds. You can find the video on youtube.
There are many other factors involved such as the size of the grind, the uniformity of the grind, the temperature of the water, the steeping time, and the quantities of coffee and water – so really the recipe is just meant as a starting point. You will need to dial it in for each different batch of coffee.
Most of these factors have to do with caffeine extraction aka “yield”. More time steeping, hotter water, more water & coffee and finer grind all increase extraction but in different ways, and over-extraction usually ends up tasting bitter. The opposites decrease extraction and under-extraction ends up tasting sour. The Hoffman recipe is a balanced start.
With the Aeropress you have easy access to all these factors and can customize the brew extensively but you have to do some trial and error.
Collect your fart while taking a bath. Submerge an open jar, once it’s full of water, invert the jar and position it above the collection zone. Any farts released will bubble into the jar in their full potency. Lid the jar, label it, and refrigerate for maximum freshness.
The hippo is the true king of beasts! So cute and plump, yet so deadly and fiercely protective. Also much faster than you would ever believe something that big can run on land, yet is almost stealth in the water until you’ve angered it. It also has one of the most powerful bites and skin 2 inches/ 6 cm thick.
I’ve become the go-to owl person of Lemmy, but I’m a long time hippo fan.
Really? Have you set up services with docker before? I found it super easy compared to other systems. Curious what specifically threw you as I barely did anything except spin it up.
