I was home taught in the UK. Have a real love for learning that's kick-started me into a career in computing that I've kept going for over two decades. Can't stop, won't stop reading, learning and improving. The number of colleagues I've had who just want a TL;DR on a new tech, software, plugin or system is too many. It's our job to understand it, so we can build something so that others don't have to. If you don't want to understand, you're in the wrong job role.

No, that's fair. Coffee at pressure is about 93 - 95°C... No idea for drip/french press/v60 etc. as I don't use those For Aeropress, I'd wait until the kettle stopped making noise, that seemed to be a good balance without burning the oils.

Coffee isn't a tea, as you don't boil it. If you boil it, you burn the coffee! That's an extraction - you can steep it, but it's better if you just push the water through at high pressure (which will royally screw up a tea).

Ah, pedantry in pedantry. So - now for Lemmy to tell me what I've gotten wrong :⁠-⁠D

"just just" - another ohnosecond moment.

Max and cheese has two ingredients. Good, quality cheese melted into fresh macaroni.

I challenge anyone to dislike that, with a good fresh salad (I like a chopped salad with a drizzle of oil and balsamic with a sprinkle of salt). The great thing is - there's a cheese for everyone (except lactose intolerant, and what a shame for them) so this works on so many levels.

Mathacre was right there... right there. Ah well.

Fermi Estimation. Where you're dealing with something so big, you're just interested in the magnitude.

This is so me... "Start to think about it, not sure how to start, brain 'slides off' it, do something else"...

If I can get a hook into it, I can move onwards (even a task list is good)...

Then again, as I get older, I'm feeling even less motivated than usual and it's harder to get on with things.

That's because HS2 is a totally flawed, Ill thought out, over budget and badly managed boondoggle - just like everything in the UK rail system since the Beeching cuts in the 60's. If it was properly run, well thought out - and actually made a significant difference in time (not approximately 15 minutes from Piccadilly to Euston), we'd support it.

I love this concept and think it really has legs as a fantastic RPG idea...

My comment on the original post: It takes the *humanity *out of *alien/foreign/different *races. If done properly, you can easily conceptualise different views of the world. Something like the sort of thing John Scalzi has done with his works - let’s work through how a different viewpoint actually works and then work out where the jagged edges are - all of a sudden, the different races are fighting with each other because they see the world diferently and don’t communicate properly so they assume all of the others think the same way (because they can’t concieve of anythign else without looking that far into it) and boom you’ve got a realistic world with in-built fracture lines…
