01:56 DaemonFC; Tobacco is a crop, you can grow it organically. It'll still kill you.

01:56 DaemonFC; But yes, you can get USDA Organic labels on tobacco.

01:57 DaemonFC; There is a sense of bitter irony about this.

01:57 DaemonFC; Part of the original organic agriculture movement was sustainability.

01:57 DaemonFC; Corporations don't care, but they killed Brian early, he stopped driving his 8 mile per gallon (literally) truck....

01:57 DaemonFC; Sustainability.

01:58 DaemonFC; He got this great big truck and then realized he had to drive it 40 miles to work and 40 back.

01:58 DaemonFC; And started driving mom's car whenever he could because it got about 24 on the highway.

02:01 DaemonFC; It's funny because in the US, you buy gas in gallons and measure engine displacements in liters.

02:02 DaemonFC; The new car stickers list liters per so many kilometers, but it's mostly because they might be sold in Canada.

02:03 schestowitz; DaemonFC, MinceR: merry grav-mass. DaemonFC: yes, she suspects it is "her".

02:03 schestowitz; trying to hijack women's accounts

02:03 schestowitz; it is hard to prove except by the timing

02:03 DaemonFC; It's just a mess in the US, with weights, measures, and distances.

02:03 MinceR; scary solstice, mortals

02:04 DaemonFC; There's so much crap coming in now from overseas, like, I have a 1.5 liter electric kettle.

02:04 schestowitz; you insist on using imperial

02:04 schestowitz; british

02:04 schestowitz; while eleverating INDEPENDENCE day

02:04 schestowitz; even the british abandoned those

02:04 MinceR; Dependence Day

02:04 DaemonFC; But had to convert it to ounces to know how many cups of pourover coffee a liter was.

02:04 admfubar; https://stackoverflow.blog/2023/12/25/is-software-getting-worse/

02:04 TR Bot; Is software getting worse? - Stack Overflow

02:04 DaemonFC; And a cup was 6 ounces on that machine.

02:04 MinceR; > measure engine displacements in liters.

02:04 schestowitz; :D

02:04 MinceR; not cubic inches?

02:04 DaemonFC; Not 8 ounces, which is a cup, because 6 ounces is a "coffee cup".

02:04 schestowitz; DaemonFC: i made some coffee with vanilla

02:04 DaemonFC; Unless you're in Europe where it's 4.

02:04 schestowitz; you buy those in tetrapacks

02:05 DaemonFC; Which is half a cup.

02:05 DaemonFC; Or 2/3rds of a US coffee cup, of course.

02:05 DaemonFC; But you're converting from liters now because of the Chinese kettle.

02:05 schestowitz; decimal system

02:06 schestowitz; DaemonFC: gnu/linux had a good year oball

02:06 schestowitz; *overll

02:06 MinceR; it had a good run, yes

02:06 schestowitz; but we were always under attack

02:06 MinceR; too bad it's nearly over

02:06 schestowitz; MinceR: you spin that negatively :-)

02:06 schestowitz; as usual

02:06 schestowitz; i got an email

02:06 schestowitz; that i cannot share, promised not to

02:06 schestowitz; but it shows something similar to what we experienced

02:06 MinceR; GNU/FSF stopped caring, Linux got taken over and it's now an unmaintainable, bloated mess

02:06 DaemonFC; schestowitz: If the British abandoned it, it's ours now.

02:07 schestowitz; like groups of goons ganging up on peopple and orgs

02:07 schestowitz; and making threats

02:07 DaemonFC; Switching over to Metric would just be doing what the British did.

02:07 DaemonFC; :)

02:07 schestowitz; and it happened at a very high level

02:07 MinceR; DaemonFC: you really showed the brits.

02:07 DaemonFC; Besides, it's not the SAME Imperial units the British had.

02:07 schestowitz; joining the eu helped us abandon it

02:07 schestowitz; just not the poundd

02:07 DaemonFC; Ours have been standardized and indexed to Metric.

02:07 DaemonFC; Just to make sure it's even more confusing.

02:08 *DaemonFC smacks MinceR with a device that measures in Hectares. Whatever that would look like.

02:09 schestowitz; fwiw, next monday's part about the militants is partly written alreadyy

02:09 schestowitz; this series will be lots of ffun

02:09 schestowitz; at one point you will see how they lie to webhosts

02:09 DaemonFC; So the US units can be converted to Metric and make sure that the conversion is consistent, the definitions are indexed to the Metric units.

02:09 schestowitz; i got it all meticulously documented

02:10 schestowitz; DaemonFC: nasa uses metric

02:10 schestowitz; it has to

02:10 DaemonFC; If you have any really old measuring units, you really should throw those out.

02:10 schestowitz; for many reasons

02:10 DaemonFC; schestowitz: It was fun remodeling that house that mom and Dave got.

02:10 schestowitz; DaemonFC: what about time measures?

02:10 schestowitz; the system we have now it awful

02:10 schestowitz; but many people got used to it

02:10 schestowitz; time zones

02:10 schestowitz; leap years

02:10 schestowitz; leap seconds

02:10 DaemonFC; You'd get from one end of a door frame and to the other end and there'd be a 5/8" difference.

02:11 DaemonFC; So I'd have to grab a laser level and reframe a door to make it match.

02:11 DaemonFC; Also, I kept banging my head into the top of the door frame using their downstairs bathroom.

02:11 schestowitz; DST

02:11 schestowitz; DST it to me most irrational

02:11 DaemonFC; So I took a saw and cut it out about another 4".

02:11 DaemonFC; Then bought a taller door and put that one in.

02:12 schestowitz; from a server POV, you must deal with the same tiime happening twice

02:12 schestowitz; or not happening at all

02:12 schestowitz; it's like leap hour

02:12 DaemonFC; I'm 6' 3.5" tall or 6' 4" with my shoes.

02:12 MinceR; it's probably also a lot easier and cheaper to rely on SI standards for measurements than maintain separate imperial ones

02:12 DaemonFC; I was banging my head on the thing because I needed another 2" clearance.

02:12 DaemonFC; So I made it four because that took it nearly to the ceiling and made sure almost nobody in the future would have this problem again.

02:12 MinceR; stuff like a mass standard and a length standard

02:13 schestowitz; DaemonFC: oiaohm is 6' 5'' iirc

02:13 schestowitz; i'm "just" 6

02:13 DaemonFC; Nobody except possibly Abraham Lincoln was my height when that house was built.

02:13 DaemonFC; He got to die in agony with a bullet lodged in him with his feet hanging over a bed that was too short.

02:13 DaemonFC; Fucking short people.

02:13 DaemonFC; The bed sounds like the worst part.

02:13 DaemonFC; Source: I've slept on a Twin bed.

02:14 schestowitz; tiy cab sleep sideways, knees bent

02:17 DaemonFC; A faction of the changelings from DS9 never really got over losing the Dominion War, and formed a terrorist group that wanted revenge on the Federation.

02:17 MinceR; :)

02:25 schestowitz; DaemonFC: i mentioned to rianne you now 'collect' coffee-making faacilitieis

02:25 schestowitz; she thinks it's better to focus on the coffee

02:25 DaemonFC; MinceR: It appears Hamilton Beach is making coffee makers that openly copy the Moccamaster and selling them at Target.

02:25 DaemonFC; I wonder how reliable these machines are.

02:25 schestowitz; you used to obsesses over watches

02:25 schestowitz; but it is good you fijnd cheap hobbies

02:25 DaemonFC; I've never seen them sold in department stores in the US with a destratifier. So that's new.

02:26 schestowitz; the cars are not cheap

02:26 schestowitz; the buick has cost more than coffee

02:26 DaemonFC; It only took 60 years for someone to put a stupid tube down into the carafe for the US market?

02:26 DaemonFC; :)

02:27 schestowitz; 60?!

02:27 DaemonFC; We're the coffee drinking capital of Earth, probably.

02:27 DaemonFC; Everyone else seems to want tea for some godawful reason.

02:27 DaemonFC; Tea is too weak.

02:28 DaemonFC; I've never REALLY liked tea. If I buy some it lasts forever because I almost never drink it.

02:28 DaemonFC; I feel like it would slow me down too much.

02:28 DaemonFC; It has some caffeine but nothing noticeable.

02:29 DaemonFC; I've been told it goes from tea to coffee to evil coffee.

02:29 DaemonFC; But I'm still just on coffee.

02:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz: Some of those negative Amazon reviews are hilarious.

02:30 DaemonFC; Like the woman that complained her Melitta overflowed when "all I did was put cinnamon in it".

02:30 DaemonFC; Yeah, cinnamon, water, tiny little hole meant for coffee to flow through....

02:30 DaemonFC; What could go wrong, I wonder?

02:30 schestowitz; btw

02:30 DaemonFC; Clearly the fault of Melitta.

02:30 schestowitz; it looks like one of gulaggboy's friends from Microsoft

02:30 schestowitz; left Microsoft

02:31 schestowitz; and went right into the US Government

02:31 schestowitz; based on a talk schedule for February

02:32 schestowitz; <DaemonFC> Clearly the fault of Melitta.

02:32 schestowitz; not just that

02:32 schestowitz; ime

02:32 DaemonFC; schestowitz: Just about any amount of coffee I buy up is fine.

02:32 DaemonFC; I burn through the stuff quickly.

02:32 schestowitz; do not use very fine drains

02:32 DaemonFC; And....I have a deep freeze.

02:32 schestowitz; grains

02:32 schestowitz; some products make the grains very fine

02:32 DaemonFC; Well, the cinnamon and water made gunk.

02:32 schestowitz; they clog it up fast

02:32 schestowitz; and if you reuse the filter a bit they may overflow

02:32 DaemonFC; So you're only supposed to put a filter in there and then coffee in the filter.

02:32 schestowitz; overflows are not the end of the world on decent machines

02:32 DaemonFC; I don't know what the fuck this lady did but it's like the gas tank in your car.

02:32 schestowitz; they are designed to cope with those

02:33 DaemonFC; The only thing that goes there is gas.

02:33 DaemonFC; Or the oil fill tube.

02:33 DaemonFC; Only oil.

02:33 schestowitz; if she wants cinn' she need to:

02:33 schestowitz; add it after

02:33 schestowitz; or put that in the dispenser

02:33 schestowitz; below the steaming point

02:33 DaemonFC; Yeah, you add the cinnamon to the carafe directly, or to the mug.

02:33 DaemonFC; Not in the brew basket!

02:33 schestowitz; does she try to brew the cinn?

02:33 DaemonFC; Yeah!

02:34 schestowitz; imagine adding vanilla there too

02:34 DaemonFC; People on Amazon are great, aren't they?

02:34 schestowitz; i would not try

02:34 schestowitz; the backup filter is hard to replace

02:34 DaemonFC; One put head gasket sealer in her BMW and then drove around with it.

02:34 schestowitz; they tend to be proprietary

02:34 DaemonFC; Until the engine threw a piston rod directly into the hood.

02:34 DaemonFC; :D

02:34 schestowitz; and if subjected to too much 'browning' they would restrict the drip

02:34 DaemonFC; MinceR: ^

02:35 DaemonFC; Head gasket sealers have VERY specific directions.

02:35 DaemonFC; You're supposed to drain the coolant out, remove the thermostat and re-attach the housing, then pour the stuff in with a radiator full of water and IDLE the car for a couple hours.

02:36 DaemonFC; Then you turn off the car, drain the water and residual solution, and then re-install the thermostat and fill it with water/antifreeze and bleed the air.

02:37 DaemonFC; The intermediate step is because the stuff has to flow into the hole in the blown head gasket, get heated by engine heat, and form this sort of "cement" to fill the gap.

02:38 DaemonFC; But it doesn't mix with coolant and if you drive around like that it'll get into the piston where it shouldn't go while the engine is running at higher RPMs.

02:38 DaemonFC; ChrisFix did fix his dad's head gasket leak and his dad was able to drive his Jaguar around for about another 4 years before it was a problem again.

02:38 DaemonFC; And that's much less work than a new gasket, which comes out to thousands of dollars at a shop on an old car.

02:39 DaemonFC; Another 4 years is amazing for a $40 bottle of stuff off Amazon or at the car parts store.

02:39 DaemonFC; If the car is 20 years old, has little value, and you're going to have to junk it now.

02:41 DaemonFC; schestowitz: Yeah, my mom buries her coffee alive under sweetened creamers and flavorings.

02:42 DaemonFC; So if the coffee underneath it all is absolute dogshit, she wouldn't know.

02:42 schestowitz; sounds like it

02:42 DaemonFC; Keurig pods don't make good coffee.

02:42 schestowitz; btw, we use the used coffee stuff in the garden

02:42 schestowitz; they say it is good compost/fertiliser

02:42 DaemonFC; But if you're pouring in "Nestle Italian Sweet Cream" then that hides a lot of sin.

02:42 schestowitz; with capsules i suppose it's a lot of work

02:42 schestowitz; also a source of waste

02:43 schestowitz; all that aluminum stuff

02:43 DaemonFC; You can pull the aluminum lid off and dump the coffee out.

02:43 schestowitz; DaemonFC: lots of small ones

02:43 schestowitz; and then still waste

02:43 schestowitz; it's aa waste industry

02:43 schestowitz; like those plastic bottles thing

02:43 schestowitz; with water in them

02:45 DaemonFC; schestowitz: They don't even fill the pod, so a lot of that is slack space.

02:52 DaemonFC; Trying to make coffee with a 4, 6, and 9 ounce set of buttons but enough coffee for a 6 ounce cup in the pod is the same as putting enough coffee for 6 cups in an auto drip then filling it to 4 cups or 9 cups if you want to.

02:52 DaemonFC; Two of the choices lead to really nasty coffee.

02:52 DaemonFC; So why does the K-Cup brewer have more choices than the coffee grounds in the capsule allow for?

02:53 DaemonFC; No matter what you do, there's not enough coffee in there to be up to SCA standards.

02:53 DaemonFC; But that's fine because the default brew speed isn't up to SCA standards either.

02:54 DaemonFC; You can at least fix that part by hitting "Strong" every time.

02:55 DaemonFC; So it's meant for a 6 ounce cup at less than the SCA recommendation, so if you brew 4 ounces and at Strong, you can fill a mug with two K-Cups, and running the machine twice and it will be at the recommended strength of the SCA. Roughly.

02:55 DaemonFC; What's wrong with this picture?

03:00 DaemonFC; schestowitz: So they don't admit that in addition to being 75 cents a pod, you need two of them and go through this whole thing twice a cup pressing buttons.

03:00 DaemonFC; There's methods where you get strong coffee with less off it, but that always comes at the cost of overextraction.

03:01 DaemonFC; Like a percolator or french press.

03:01 DaemonFC; Some of the better percolators have better temperature control units.

03:02 DaemonFC; They can beat out a lot of the auto drip units, but the whole thing is more of a "fuck it mentality" on the part of the auto drip machine designs.

03:02 DaemonFC; So they'll get you used to horrible coffee with those cheap auto drip makers. Then you try a percolator, it's better than that drip machine you were using.

03:03 DaemonFC; So you're seeing percolators on the market again, and I'd say it's like the comeback of vinyl records.

03:03 DaemonFC; You can easily beat out a percolator with a well designed auto drip that had some thought and good materials put into it.

03:03 DaemonFC; But most of the drip makers are not built to such standards.

03:07 DaemonFC; I'd say out of the two pod systems, the Nespresso is....probably the better of the two.

03:07 DaemonFC; But I honestly wouldn't buy either.

03:07 DaemonFC; The Nespresso also costs a fortune and creates a bunch of waste, but I understand the coffee is at least pretty good.

03:20 DaemonFC; MinceR: I think we need to go to Yellow Alert again.

03:23 DaemonFC; But Nestle took a gasket in the pod and got a patent on that.

03:23 DaemonFC; And then designed the machine to leak if you try to use an off-brand pod.

03:23 DaemonFC; How clever.

03:23 schestowitz; <DaemonFC> schestowitz: They had a patent that was defeated on the Nespresso pod apparently.

03:23 schestowitz; to scare 'knockoffs'

03:23 schestowitz; there was a case in SCOTUS

03:23 schestowitz; it was about printers

03:23 schestowitz; lexmark iirc

03:25 DaemonFC; Someone could probably make a device to sit into the part that makes other capsules leak and make a flat surface for third-party pods to seal tightly against.

03:25 DaemonFC; Oh, he gets to the tear down of some third party machines.

03:26 DaemonFC; He says some are designed so you can use any capsule you want and it won't leak.

04:00 DaemonFC; schestowitz: I didn't stop and think about Nespresso pods cost based on how much coffee is in them.

04:01 DaemonFC; $223 a pound for coffee? LOL

04:01 DaemonFC; Roughly.

04:01 DaemonFC; schestowitz: I picked up a Zijirushi thermos on Amazon.

04:01 DaemonFC; They had one in Warehouse deals I liked.

04:01 schestowitz; i filled up my cabinets with tea and coffe for less than that

04:01 DaemonFC; I have an assortment of insulated mugs from Walmart that I hate.

04:01 DaemonFC; Many of them busted.

04:02 DaemonFC; *Zojirushi

04:03 DaemonFC; The Contigo one I hate the least keeps my coffee warm enough that as long as I drink it within about 30-40 minutes I'm okay.

04:03 DaemonFC; Mandy likes to buy a lot of junk instead of one good thing.

04:03 DaemonFC; Then even if it breaks, if he knows I tossed it, it's World War III.

04:04 DaemonFC; Zojirushi says theirs has a locking lid, the lid comes apart so you can clean each piece properly, and the inside is easy to clean because they have some sort of stain-resistant coating, and that it keeps "tea" piping hot for up to 6 hours.

04:05 DaemonFC; Like most, that probably means "drinkable" for several more.

04:05 DaemonFC; You extend how long it can do that by preheating it with hot water.

04:06 DaemonFC; I don't use boiling. It's easier to just turn the tap on hot. The landlord keeps the hot at 145 F for some reason.

04:06 DaemonFC; Not boiling hot, but hot enough to scald.

04:06 DaemonFC; Much less of a temperature loss than going from hot 200 degree coffee to a room temperature (68 F right now) carafe.

04:07 DaemonFC; Going to a room temperature carafe starts your coffee out at about 180 F from the Moccamaster.

04:08 DaemonFC; Preheating the carafe to 145 with the tap and letting it soak for a minute and dumping the water and starting the machine has the coffee start out being held at 188 F.

04:08 DaemonFC; That's only a 12 degree loss.

04:08 DaemonFC; I doubt I'd do a lot better than that if I took the effort to boil some, and I'd have to pay for the electric to do that.

04:10 DaemonFC; It helps keep my coffee hotter if I sneak some into the movies or whatnot.

04:11 DaemonFC; Sometimes if we head out somewhere at breakfast I make my own coffee and slip it into a McDonalds or something.

04:11 DaemonFC; Why pay them over $2 for some nasty ass McDonald's coffee?

04:11 DaemonFC; Sitting on a burner since however long it's been.

04:12 DaemonFC; Coffee salesman was one of my grandfather's 4 jobs (at the same time).

04:12 DaemonFC; schestowitz: The one married to Madame Harmon.

04:12 DaemonFC; Mom asked him why he did four jobs at the same time and he sighed and said "I could work five and your mother would still spend it faster."

04:12 DaemonFC; Three of them were at General Motors.

04:13 DaemonFC; He used to spend his weekends making pizzas at home, from scratch and then selling them at work.

04:13 DaemonFC; And he was a coffee salesman.

04:13 DaemonFC; He sold a lot to other factory workers there, but he'd also go out and deliver to hotels and stuff, for the Cadillac Coffee company.

04:14 DaemonFC; Oh he was never not working.

04:16 DaemonFC; In retirement he became an assistant pastor at the Wesleyan church and took to watching Cubs games over the satellite system. If there was a way he could excuse himself from the house for a while, he would.

04:17 DaemonFC; It never really made sense to me at the time. I knew my grandmother was really mean to me, but I didn't know how horrible she was to others. Including him. I didn't have to live with her, thank God.

04:17 DaemonFC; So usually the worst she got in was a barb a the Christmas dinner table or something.

04:43 schestowitz; yes

04:43 schestowitz; but different mindset

04:43 schestowitz; and peer pressure

04:43 schestowitz; in 1950s there is "something wrong with you"

04:44 schestowitz; 2) if you marry, but have no kids

04:44 schestowitz; "maybe they cannot..."

04:44 schestowitz; 3) if you retire easy to work on your own thing

04:44 schestowitz; peer pressure, constructed and reinforced by mass media

04:45 DaemonFC; schestowitz: Moccamaster did design a badly pouring carafe.

04:45 DaemonFC; To their defense, so did everyone else.

04:45 DaemonFC; Now they want you to pay to replace it with one lined with borosilicate glass that they say pours a lot better.

04:46 DaemonFC; The term "lined with borosilicate glass" is what bothers me.

04:46 DaemonFC; Maybe it does work well, but now if you drop it you're definitely fucked.

04:46 DaemonFC; So I'll just be careful while I'm pouring and not have glass to break.

04:47 DaemonFC; Every time you get a glass carafe or one with glass, you drop it and it crashes.

04:47 DaemonFC; So then you have to pay $85 again getting another one.

04:47 DaemonFC; And stainless steel at least doesn't do that. Even if it dents, it's not shattered.

04:47 DaemonFC; [12/25/23 10:44 pm] <schestowitz> peer pressure, constructed and reinforced by mass media

09:01 DaemonFC; Most European countries that had a claim on parts of what is now the United States had tenuous claims at best, laughable ones at worst.

09:01 DaemonFC; The British were of course the major problem and once they were dealt with, it was only a matter of time before the march west happened fairly rapidly.

09:04 DaemonFC; The Louisiana Purchase was more or less a small payoff to avert a war that nobody really wanted. Especially the French.

09:04 DaemonFC; To the United States, it was much cheaper than declaring a war on France and taking it.

09:04 DaemonFC; To France, the last thing they wanted was ANOTHER war and more debts.

09:05 DaemonFC; They were really hot to sell and then get out of here with something.
