Agree, he's a major dick who can't be trusted. Same as cum-ex Olaf. We just don't have any useful politicians with a semblance of backbone in Germany. Unfortunately the same is true for most of Europe.

Richtig so. Wer ein Haus bauen (und ggfs. sogar finanzieren) kann, ist nicht bedürftig.

Praise James!

On topic though, I get consistently less acidic coffee by using an aeropress (inversion method) rather than a V60 or other pourover.

I mean... Everything's a buttplug if you try hard enough.

I'm binge watching James Hoffmann. Easy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They didn't quite get it right:

  1. The perpetrator was not due to be deported, he withdrew his request for asylum and pledged to leave on his own accord.

  2. Merz didn't agree to start a coalition with the AfD, they merely agree on a key point (which is increased number of deportations for criminal immigrants).

Coffee dosage tray with a water sprayer (wetting the beans helps to stick the grounds together, so they are easier to distribute and don't stick to the housing of the grinder, which otherwise happens due to electrostatics).

While the company stops short of directly saying as much, it sure feels like the preposterously long ads we’re seeing here are an example of one tool in Google’s arsenal for effectively disabling YouTube playback for violators of the site’s ToS.

I don't get it. When my adblocker works, I don't get to see this shit. Only if it fails I'llbe confronted with hour-long ads, so the incentive to find a better blocker is even higher?

I'm using signal in parallel, 20-30 people are on there vs. 200+ on whatsapp.

I've encouraged a few, but not enough for a full switch.

Perfect timing, enjoy! My favorite country, used to live there for a while some years ago.

Nobody but a handful of nerds uses it though. You won't get your grandparents and less tech literate friends to leave whatsapp in droves, simple as that.
