Thanks!

It is puzzling. I finished reading the article, and it could be that Calyx was doing things Nick didn't like, so left (as opposed to Nick doing things that Calyx didn't like). But, without his statement, it's their word against his silence. If this phone company is genuinely what he states, it could be a game changer. But I'm not going to trust it at all, until it's fully proven and he comes out with his statement.

What were their (Tommy Web and Oliver Scott) official statements on the matter? I mean, besides the generic one that Chiryu gave of them having different goals/visions. Or was that it? If so, it seems that Calyx wanted to continue with providing their privacy products and Nick maybe didn't fully agree with that, and, so, they parted ways. Now he has a carrier. Seems off.

Few is three or more. You have a couple twix up your sleeve.

First off, $27,574 is $13.25 per hour, assuming the standard salary 40 hour weeks or $15.15 assuming hourly employee's standard 35 hour work week. This got me thinking: if kingreggieisreal got simple division wrong, what else did they get wrong...

Keeping in mind that conversion rate records from the time are lacking, from what we can surmise, in 1843 (when this story took place), a week's 15 shillings (£0.75) was worth about £110.90 today ($147.84 US). This would be about £5,766.8 per year ($7,688.76 US), or £2.77 per hour ($3.70 US) assuming 40-hour weeks, or £3.17 per hour ($4.22 US) assuming 35-hour weeks.

I'm not really sure what maths kingreggieisreal is using, but it seems flawed.

Crowdfunding

As in, the people of Detroit wanted this enough to pay for it out of their own pockets? If so, I don't think they understand what they just did...

Edit. Spelling.

Done, and sent : )

That scene was, arguably, one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've seen in theater. I've always assumed that the cookie was a tracking cookie, and that that's how she was always able to find him and be able to understand everything he's been through the moment she saw him the next times. Of course, you would only get that if you understood the wordplay in the first place.

maybe you just need a Snickers.

Yeah, maybe. But I can't fucking afford it!

I'm testing the edit now. If it checks out, I'll upload it to a Send instance. Is it fine with you if I DM you the link?

UX almost always takes a back seat to that

If it even makes it on the bus in the first place

Are we all ready for the inevitable "FLOSS is bad, and here is why" flood of bullshit?

 

Half asleep, I added coffee to the espresso grinder. Never has it been more clear, that grind size matters.

 

I was watching friends, and this scene came on. Instantly made me think of GNU plus Linux.

When you call the new sexy emergency services, but are connected with an unknown country instead, you do the next logical thing… you send an email.

Picture's not coming through. I'll try an embedded one...

 

Just found this sub, and I see it's not active anymore :(

Let's change that!

 

My OG content for your viewing pleasure

 

I have these wire shelves that are held together with these plastic caps. I'm reconfiguring the layout and ran out of caps. It's been a decade+/- since we got these, and I can't remember the name. Does anyone know where I can get more of these caps? Or, at least, what these caps and/or shelves are called, so I can go hunting for them?

 

I roasted a Sidamo G1 to right after first crack. I pulled one shot today, and it's amazing!

 

I can only see this going into a very dystopian path. Based on their actions, I don't trust these companies, their security practices, nor their privacy policies. Why would I give them my biometrics? And my full palm, at that!? Hell no!

 

Hopefully you're having a better morning than putting friggin coffee beans in the friggin water reservoir.

That is all.

Original post was titled "Coffee machines reliability chart", but the image says that they're in the "espresso machine category".

The biggest swiss online seller makes charts for warranty claims. Basically: how many warranty claims does each brand have? This chart only shows the most popular brands of coffee machines sold on the site, but I still find it interesting.

 

Went to a wedding and they had a poet dressed like a fox. You give him a word and he types out a poem on an old-timey typewriter. Of course, I chose 'espresso'.

I asked him why a fox. So, he's a professional poet. One of his friends gave him a fox costume as a joke. He wore it to his friend's kid's birthday party (IIRC), and loved it. He started doing that as a side hustle (wearing the costume at parties, writing poems), and later, started doing it full time. He says that it's fun for everyone involved, and allows him to get creative with very little in terms of overextended expectations. REALLY nice guy!

Here he is:
