French press is basically the same work as a drip machine, but a different shape. You just heat the water seperately and then pour it and the coffee into the French press, let it sit, press the plunger down, and pour. Actually takes slightly less time than any cheap dropper I’ve used and runs 0 risk of burning the coffee (drip machines like to put heating elements into their bases to keep the pot hot, this can burn the coffee and ruin the flavor, French presses cannot burn coffee because they cannot add heat)

Espresso is finely ground coffee that uses steam pressure to brew (thus why espresso machines are fucking expensive, my mr coffee unit was 80 buck), it’s an involved process (worth learning gif you’ve got 20m to make a cup of coffee every time) but very good if you use beans you like AND you like your coffee flavor strong

While basically any cheap home is going to equate to torture and thus IS a good option (it ain’t gonna get BETTER under his admin), you’re not required to care for them when they get old like they are you when you’re young, you can just leave them to die slowly of whatever it is that’ll take them if you want, less headache and responsibility claiming on your part

You can call for unity all you want to but you won’t ever hear those same words from the mouths of republicans

Yeah we do, when they lose, and only then. And even then, they’re fucking lying about wanting it at all, they think it’s weakness (literally a conservative belief)

Sure you don’t, that’s why you just had to reply to me

Must really want me to see that little inbox notification, huh?

since you’ve aggressively denied me an ounce of understanding

You making shit points =/= me not understanding you

Keep equating basic criticism of the Democrats to claiming repubs are identical to them, enjoy never learning and not winning next time either!

And I’m annoyed that we continue to see “both parties” without strong fucking qualifiers.

That’s not what happened here, though?

You have no idea what I meant and you obviously care more about making something up than knowing

I do know what you meant, because English words have meaning

I meant that we saw democrats reach a new level of ineptitude with this election cycle.

No, we didn’t, we just saw them fail harder while doing all the same shit they always have, as I said

You’re smug and not interested in actually conversing with me or understanding what democrats do/don’t do correctly.

Keep strawmanning me and ignoring everything I say, I’m sure eventually you’ll make a valid point with that technique!

I’m just tired of the false equivalency that landed us in fascism

Valid criticism of the Dems isn’t false equivalency, it’s so fucking annoying to hear people keep acting like it is

enjoy feeling smug about how you knew this is exactly how Democrats would run this campaign 10+ years ago.

Didn’t claim anything close to that, merely pointed out that acting like this election suddenly revealed something new only proves youre unaware of previous ones

Democrats are freshly revealed to be hot garbage

Lol, if by “freshly” you mean “for at least almost a decade if not further back”

I find it disgusting to make any remark that alludes to them being the same

It sucks, but they literally both do what the guy is accusing them of, so they’re actually the same here. Doesn’t mean they’re perfectly identical in all other ways, but this is and has been a major red flag for yeeeeeaaarssss BECAUSE it’s a spot where they’re the same

I don’t think there would ever come a time where people could voice their issues with the democratic party. Eventually the dems would’ve suffered such a catastrophic loss because they don’t listen to their voters and keep drifting to the right

Oh hey look it’s the opinion that for the last 2 years would get you nuked on votes getting only upvoted now!

Been yelling this since Joe “only running now to stop Trump” didn’t fucking prop anyone up during his term to run, fucking obvious they dont care because they know the other side is fascism and thought that was enough because they’re out-of-touch rich cunts

so much as Biden’s character as a person

Yeah, he’s someone who will not only sit and have a friendly chat with a Nazi but literally invite them to come do so

Joe will be remembered horribly and I’m hopeful he doesn’t die before he knows it

Gotta prove there was evidence on the phone in the first place, which would take forensic work to do and be not worth the work in the majority of cases

Plus it would annoy them, and that’s the real goal here

If you haven’t done this and need the same ability IMMEDIATELY: reboot, or just shut down

Every first boot requires pin same as lockdown

Also: set a nonstandard finger in a weird way as your finger unlock if you wanna use that, then theyre likely to fail to get that to work should you not manage to lock it down beforehand

Finally: there are apps that let you use alternate codes/finger unlocks to wipe/encrypt/reboot the device instead, allowing you to pretend to cooperate with the cops up until they realize they got played

“the popular vote stopped mattering” is a significantly less shitty wording of your already poor point

The people elected him because people still voted for him. If nobody voted for him then the electoral votes woulda gone elsewhere

this will be used as a test case to force the CA government to comply with something that openly conflicts with and violates the CA constitution CA will be legally forced to comply.

Problem with your theory: there’s nothing at a federal level saying California cant mandate that, at least not yet. They’d need to overturn OvH AND pass something federally that says it’s explicitly not allowed, else California can do as it pleases

Whether other states recognize it is no longer guaranteed, though, thats the big thing it being federally legal forced

They announced him as the winner before they even finished counting the popular vote

Yeah, because they knew how many electoral votes each candidate got, it’s how that system works. That doesn’t mean they just stop counting the popular vote

Look back at the 2016 election. Trump won the electoral votes there as well, while Hillary won the popular vote. And Hillary did not get the presidency.

Do they stop counting when a winner is announced or not, you’re inconsistent here

If you’re gonna say stupid shit don’t say the stupid shit that’s so blatantly untrue

5th largest economy in the world, motherfuckers!

We don’t need the US, but their military means we’re fucked should we ever try, anyway

The point isn’t to help anyone, it’s to make the fascist idiots feel bad for being fascist idiots

If they don’t like it they can sit and spin

smashing printers with baseball bats

I have years of IT experience, offer Linux support, and am visibly the kind of guy you just know can fix your computer problem (or, if I take my glasses off, I look like I sell weed apparently), and when asked to help with printers I have one answer:

They’re sentient and they hate you. I was trained in IT, not exorcisms. Send it as a PDF, PNG, or smoke signal before you try troubleshooting.

Like, I broke my big office one the other day so bad the tech had to come out. What had I done to brick it so badly? Tap a menu option, tap back, then tap a different menu option. If you don’t wait 3s between the second and third tap it errors and freezes and they have to send a tech out to do some sort of 2 hour long ritual where he rubs it and whispers how sorry he is.

What the fuck is wrong with printers

Premiere Pro runs smoother on Linux than on Win7-10 ever did

After effects felt the same as PP

So far I haven’t run into any program wine/bottles can’t run. Closest I got was needing to install a second program through wine and run them through the same prefix which is not hard at all
