today i tried pouring my remaining wet cold brew grounds remnants through a small sieve. i had read some years ago that this was the best trick for catching the grounds but wrote it off, as i thought i didn’t want to have a sieve full of grounds to clean. well, it worked a treat, and was easy to tap out the grounds and quickly clean the seive.

a reminder to myself that heeding the advice of those who have done something before, especially those who have done it for a living, is well worth the time.

I thought it was interesting that the Canadian wildfires are emitting more carbon than all of the rest of its human activities combined.

Tried the coffee at McDo last night. Friends had told me for years that it is very serviceable and always fresh but I’m fairly snooty when it comes to coffee. Anyhow, in my opinion, they were right. I’ve had plenty of homemade stuff that was far worse. Price doesn’t break the bank, at a buck fifty, and it comes out at a reasonable drinking temp. Flavor is about like what you get when making coffee with a fresh-cracked bag of supermarket preground stuff. Just plain old decent coffee. For years I just relayed this recommendation with a caveat that I never tried it myself, but now I can shill for them directly. Wheres my check mickey?

The christmas episode is some of the best TV i’ve ever seen… what a nightmare hellride.

Anyone played Last Call BBS from Zachtronics? Seems like it might be fun.

Got my first High Five earlier this week after a Lot of matches, and just helped win a diamond 3s tournament. Feels good xD

Does anyone have a recommendation for home gamer bike repair stands? I’d like to find an inexpensive one that stows away easily or otherwise doesnt take too much space. Since I only need it maybe once or twice a year I can do without the hard core bike shop level of durability. For my needs it just needs to hold the bike off the floor so I can do derailer adjustments.

i have a Unicomp ps2 keyboard that I've been using for about 25 years that seems to be nearing the end of its service life. it gave me a scare a few years back so i bought a cherry mx board as a backup but the thing gave me doublestrikes all the time so that's not a long-term solution for my next iteration. considering going for another unicomp since i like the chonkyness of it. i always think about a keyboard i encountered back in the 90s that had a special MACRO section onboard, and the old SIIG ALPS keyswitch keyboards. anyone used one of those new-fangled optical keyswitch boards?
