🤷

In college I discovered the physics department’s distilled-water tap and started filling my water bottles from that because the regular drinking fountain on that floor was nasty. A classmate tried to tell me distilled water would make me die from dissolving all my minerals away or something, which I poo-poohed and kept drinking it for the taste. In hindsight I should probably have avoided it for the same reason as the big sign on the physics department ice maker, also accessible anonymously from the hallway: “No maintenance is performed to deter bacterial growth”. Oops. Well I turned out just fine pretty good okay so all’s well as ends without food poisoning.

That was just the tech weenies with their ‘architecturally sound strategy’ or whatever, before the business side beat talked some sense into them.

This is great. Banger intro, ready for the next chapter. 😉

Next best flavor?

RFKj just announced he plans to ban lip balm.

No way, I know where that ring has been.

Cha. Wawa. Chawawa.

I know better than to read horror late at night but of course I would go and look up that reference anyway.

Looks like they reconsidered using the Spongebob typeface.

Haven’t you heard? web3 is going great so far!

Doesn’t coffee itself come under the category of things? Like how weird is it to pick berries and first let them rot before burning what’s left and then grinding that up to pour water on and drink it? 😁

You don’t need gadgets! My on-the-go setup is a couple of disposable coffee cups and a strainer and with a source of hot water I’m all sorted. Brew in one cup, strain into the other, drink, repeat until the tea’s all brewed out.

Try cold-brewing a bag or three. Easily bypasses any risk of overcooking and the attendant overextraction.

Shopped up the K6, got a discount coupon code thingy (, repeatedly fended off Amazon trying to trick me into starting a Prime trial…), placed my order, and… it’ll be here in a month. Guess the manufacturer have their hair on fire right now.
