Never bothered to check till now. The stir sticks are only sold as packs of 3 ($5 USD) or 5 ($7 USD). I should replace mine.

I have a V60. Lately (last year or so) it has been what I use daily.

Never used mine for the bloom. I just use it as directed, to get even water distribution. I can’t think to brew a pour over anymore without the Melodrip.

However I did lose the stir. Oh well.

Does the Switch brewer similarly to other immersion brewers like a French press or AeroPress? I would be tempted to just apply my normal V60 recipe on these.

If you ask, maybe some of them are willing to be your couch.

If you still consume any media, purchase merchandise, or god forbid go to the themed areas of Universal Studios parks… you are fulling this bigotry. She is profiting from your consumption of a franchise and using that fame to attack women.

I am heartbroken by what they have become. My childhood (and many other people’s) had that franchise throughout a big part of it. It has become shameful to say I was ever a fan. Nothing will redeem them. Nothing will make it okay to consume anything related to this franchise.

If you openly wear/carry/own merchandise of any kind today, you are literally sporting symbols of hatred. Please stop doing that.

Now that gets into Brave New World territory. They didn’t make it illegal (at least that I recall)… but it was a taboo to be part of a family. Some point in British society started using eugenics to create humans. Sexual promiscuity was expected among women (they hinted that monogamy was also taboo) but becoming a parent was no go.

EDIT: I wouldn’t recommend Brave New World. Huxley falls in line with contemporary beliefs about indigenous Americans that is downright racist today.

Raw egg.

EDIT: Maybe not for the temperature itself but that’s why it is unsafe in general.

Hmm… I can’t help but think of the Cuban Missile Crisis when I see the words “The 12 Day War”, which no one was gonna call this.

The mere idea that anyone has to perform a medical procedure on a pregnant woman relating to the pregnancy and hesitates, proves that the law is the issue.

Someone will undoubtedly try to get a bill passed somewhere that starts labeling any removal of a fetus from a woman as abortion when the medical community is telling you that is not the case. These anti-abortion supporters want woman to get pregnant and stay pregnant. They don’t care if you have medical complications that lead to death. To think they care is just a lost cause.

1984 bullshit right here. Wait till they tell us that these phrases never existed in the first place.

 

Wish I was wrong.

Finally, RockLove have gotten the Picard d’ja pagh restocked! I won’t spoil Picard season 3, but this earring was featured in an episode. Not only was it featured but the actual prop was designed by the CEO of RockLove. The one they sell is made from the same molds.

I had this before but the chain on it broke. So happy I can buy another.

EDIT: If anyone was wondering if they had a Kira Nerys d’ja pagh, yes. It is currently in stock. I wear mine a lot. All my earrings are Star Trek related. https://www.rocklove.com/products/star-trek-x-rocklove-kira-nerys-bajoran-cuff-earring

 

I want to live in a world where a person like Kor can accept a person like Dax.

 

If you have not seen this documentary, you now have no excuse. Go watch it.

 

In “The Ultimate Computer”, the duotronic M-5 computer was deemed a failure which sent its creator Richard Daystrom into a nervous breakdown. Not only did Daystrom experience psychological distress (probably the most polite way to describe it), but was responsible for a machine that killed upwards of 53 people.

Why would a person responsible for the invention of a computer that unintentionally killed (unintentionally as in, not ordered to do so) get their name enshrined? Is there anything to explain why such a troubled person that ended up killing others in a quest to eliminate the risk of human death, would inspire anyone to name an organization after them?

EDIT: I need to add some complicating facts to this. “Chose Your Pain” (DIS season 1 episode 5) gives Daystrom Institute a founding date of 2256, which is before TOS. So based on comments, likely the duotronic computer is why the name was picked.
