then let it fall into a cold container that soaks up much of the heat, and maybe even pour it into another cold container afterwards, which is where you drink it from.

If you're serious about making coffee then you're preheating everything that the coffee will contact.

That might be more to do with your social circles. There was a shit ton of teenage drinking happening when I was in high-school.

More Ukrainians will die, and that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

I genuinely can't tell if you are saying this ironically considering you are all over this thread defending Russia's invasion.

And Wikipedia?

We should strive to create a platform that isn't captured by the interests of advertisers. You're stating the obvious that nothing is free.

Look at lichess.org vs chess.com.

Lichess non-profit, and is maintained by a couple of devs funded purely by donations.

Chess.com has hundred of employees and requires tens of millions of annual revenue to break even. It has investors that expect yearly growth.

The user experience is not much different.

Wikipedia is another great example of a massive website that is run as a non-profit, is ad free and has stayed true to its original purpose.

The site started to go downhill around that period because of power users and some started to move to reddit, but it was still pretty niche.

I stayed on digg until v4, then I moved with the masses over to reddit. They lost over 30% of their users that month!

The main migration was actually in 2010 after the v4 redesign. Digg wasn't dying in 2007-2009, it was one of the hottest websites on the internet.

I haven't tried no-chilling yet but am thinking of converting! Did you have to make any changes to your hop schedule?
