Techno fascist says what?

Never had that happen. Every time good beans of the nearly finished bag mixed with good beans of a new bag results in a surprisingly excellent cup.

Time to read Zen again.

Rural southern Georgia: 300m to the only gas station/convenience store in town. 10km to the nearest real supermarket, medical center, pharmacy, tiny library, dentist, and a couple of restaurants. 30km to the nearest big box store (Walmart). 100km to the nearest small regional airport. 120km to train station.

Not starve or be homeless.

I’ve tried it and it was ok but I would not have it again.

If I am not traveling, just drinking at home or my office then under $25 for single origin Typica or Yellow Bourbon light roast beans.

If I am traveling then I might splash out $100 for four bags of beans.

Considering how shitty flying economy is in general, it seems like a 2 drink minimum is need to even tolerate it.

Excellent and nice choices! I feel the same way about the Revel F208 speakers I bought a while back. Completely didn’t need them since the Revel F36 were already pretty good but oh was the improvement noticeable. I honestly don’t think I will replace them as long as the are working properly.

Really shows how brainwashed women on the religious right and racist right are.

It might be helpful to your long term financial health to find out what that is.

Yeah, I can’t argue with that. I try to avoid funds that have significant investment in weapons manufacturers. If a person’s needs require a minimum level social and/or environmental awareness, there are tools in the Fidelity research system that show that kind of thing. This may be limited to specific stocks and not funds though. I can only speak about Fidelity since that is my only point of experience.

I’ve never been on a long (trans ocean) flight with a major airline that charged for water.

I don’t if the flight is long and it is bigger aircraft (two aisles: A350, 787, A380, 777, etc). I try to be up and moving around as much as possible. No booze. Eat light if at all. Drink water.

Don’t get fat. It is so hard to lose weight once you get over 40 years of age because you are fighting a reduced metabolism.

Investing even relatively small amounts of money monthly or weekly into an indexed mutual fund or similar at a young age should result in substantial growth and returns over 30 years or so.

Don’t lend money that you expect to get back.

The Data Mining Polka

If I’m making New Orleans style Cafe au lait then sure. If I am trying to make some bad beans more drinkable then sure. But if I have some really good single origin light roast beans that are excellent on their own then no way.

In the States we didn’t get the Transit until very recently. We had the Econoline Van. Give Neil Young’s Tonight’s The Night a listen.
