I believe that. Personally, I consider Gregg Williams to be the worst or at least among the worst. It's one thing to look for an edge within the grey area or beyond and it's another to try to take players out of the game. I was looking around for other cheaters and found a lot more than I expected. Don Shula is in there plenty.

As a fan of a division rival, I am thrilled. Get this man out of the division and hopefully out of the conference. I consider him the best coach of all time - even better than Shula. Unlike Shula, Belichick built his first dynasty in the era of free agency and a salary cap, although that came to be a benefit later when good players started going there on veteran minimum deals.

Aaron Hernandez, deflategate and spygate aside - and, yes, they are big ones - the Patriots under Belichick were an organization with class and sportsmanship. You always knew you were in for a tough, physical game, but they played fair and showed respect to opponents. You were never concerned that they were out there trying to injure somebody. You never looked at them on the schedule, dreading the game because it would be full of cheap shots.

I remember that rivalry with Peyton Manning and the Colts. The Patriots would put a hit on a guy and then help him up.

There’s all this talk about how Belichick didn’t win anything without Brady. There’s no way either one of them wins that many Super Bowls without each other. Brady is the best quarterback of all time - probably the best football player of all time - and Belichick is the greatest defensive mind the game of football has ever seen.

I don’t expect to ever see a tandem like those two or an organization like the Patriots again in my lifetime.

You have a couple options, as others have mentioned: multiple browser profiles and container tabs. The profiles don’t work quite as well as in Chrome because switching between them isn’t as convenient. Besides that, it’s the same thing. Container tabs is where it’s at. With those, you can use multiple profiles in the same window and set up rules to open certain sites in specific containers. Also check out the Simple Tab Groups extension. It’s similar to Vivaldi’s workspaces but more powerful when combined with container tabs.

This is the most shit sale I have ever seen. Most of these games look like they were made in Roblox. Like is this supposed to be a dig at capitalism? This is literally a shovelware sale. They are selling the same assets in 300 different flavors of ass.

All excellent suggestions here. I’m adding Lost Prophets to the list. Maybe don’t look them up if you don’t already know.

Probably about the same amount as Steam. There’s a lot of garbage on there too. It’s the nature of a widely accessible platform.

What’s probably more interesting about this comparison is how much console gaming has changed in recent years. It wasn’t too long ago that console game development had such high barriers to entry that it was damn near impossible to make a game outside one of the big studios. So much of the stuff on consoles now, including the trash, never would have seen the light of day before.

Hopefully a new CEO with better vision and ability to execute. Mozilla’s leadership is a joke.

The usual suspects are ThinkPad T, P or X1, Framework or System76. Some people also like the Dell XPS but I don’t because of the lack of ports. I use a ThinkPad X1 Extreme. It runs great, it’s repairable and there are good premium support options available.

The brain fog was the worst. I had horrible insomnia too. I had to start on sedatives and anti-anxiety meds after I recovered. They initially put me on some poison shit like Xanax. I quickly switched that out for trazodone and medical marijuana. I could sleep but things were still way off.

I eventually got put on sertraline and adderall during the day, a 10 mg edible in the evening and I take a trazodone a hour before bed. I sleep better now than I have at any time in my life and I feel great. I don’t feel like I have the same raw cognitive capacity that I used to, but I’m attentive, productive and don’t struggle to perform basic tasks like I did after I got sick. Overall, I feel more capable than ever even if my mental processing speed is lower than before.

I got it towards the end of 2020 and was hospitalized for a week with pneumonia and a collapsed lung. The acute infection had me sick for a month. My last day with a fever was exactly 4 weeks after the first day I felt symptoms. I had lingering symptoms for about 6 months after.

As far as taste, I got that back quickly. I lost my taste within the first 2-3 days. I heard from someone that spicy food helps so I ate the spiciest food I could find. My lips were burning, my hair was tingling and I was sweating so I knew it was hot. I could almost feel like I was tasting spice, but the sensation would quickly go away. The next day I was able to taste a little bit and within 24-48 it was mostly back. By the time I was hospitalized, I had fully regained taste. I didn’t get my sense of smell back for probably another 3 weeks after that.

Edit: If you like black coffee, go for a medium roast premium or specialty grade coffee from Costa Rica that goes through a honey process. Very smooth, low acid and a hint of natural sweetness from the coffee fruit.

Yeah, they over roast their coffee. It’s deliberate. I assume it’s for consistency and because it’s a low effort way to cut through all that milk and sugar in expensive lattes. Americans have also been conditioned to associate dark, bitter coffee with “strong”.

The irony is dark roast has less caffeine than lighter roast and it’s usually done to mask defects in the bean. Whether to roast light, medium or dark typically isn’t an arbitrary decision or based on any preference. There’s a whole grading process where the ideal roast is determined based on the quality of the beans.

The highest quality beans will often be roasted medium and you start going darker as you get into the lower quality stuff. Basically, you’re cooking off bad flavors that may be the result of sour beans, mold, insect damage, chemicals or worse. There are all kinds of farming practices you don’t want to know about where they get away with it by roasting dark and/or blending with a little bit of a higher quality coffee.

The thing with Starbucks is they actually start with good beans so they don’t have to do this. They also have a wide variety of suppliers and bean types. They could easily put together a great flavor profile that would work for lattes as well as black coffee. But things do change a little bit from one harvest to the next. Starbucks is all about consistency. You can order the same drink at any location in the world and it tastes exactly the same every time.

A small black coffee is $2 because people will pay that much. The cost is less than 25 cents for the coffee. The cup and lid might cost more than what you’re drinking if it’s a commercial grade bean. Coffee is a high margin business.
