  • 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





  • 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









  • Americans made a weird cult out of it. They may do so if they like. :)

    Judging by the name we’ve got ourselves a Lederhosen who’s never had the joy of a proper American burger

    You come to California some time and we’ll show you what we did with our (meine Urgroßmutter wurde in Düsseldorf geboren) culture! I myself spent an entire year perfecting my breading mix and learning to make the perfect pretzel bun to serve them on!

    Like… Ugh, I know what I’m doing this weekend





  • If this is irrelevant, so is your caterpillar argument.

    Wow, you’re completely incapable of basic reasoning. I mean, I’d have assumed as much, but I tried to give you a chance to prove you could think. Ah well, my mistake.

    You can’t even define what a person is and you’re accusing me of mental gymnastics?

    Those are unrelated, again. You can’t define antidisestablishmentarianism and you’re accusing me of genocide?! Same energy.

    Sticking with one you found from a dictionary in the face of three more authoritative sources is odd

    Not really, given that it’s the commonly used definition and we’re not talking in a medical setting here. I used it colloquially, not professionally, so I’m grabbing the colloquial definition. You want to use the medical one because it specifies a different species and makes my colloquial use of the word technically incorrect (the best kind), but I refuse to give a fuck

    But you can’t explain why…

    Oh, look, here’s the relevance: by your own logic if a fetus is a person then a caterpillar is a butterfly. If you cant grasp that then I fear for anyone who has to be around you any time you operate sharp objects.

    Ironic, since pro-life people give birth more than pro-choice people.

    Yeah, forcing births through regulation does that. It also tends to produce people who vehemently disagree with and hate you. Rightly so, you monster


  • In one respect, they are similar: a caterpillar is the same species as the butterfly which it becomes, just like fetuses are to humans

    Ok so you DO understand, nice

    they are significantly different: no human society regards a butterfly’s life as highly as a born human’s

    And I was wrong. That’s irrelevant, what value we place on a butterfly relative to us isn’t important at all to me pointing out your logic would mean a caterpillar is a butterfly. All that matters is the way in which they are alike, which you agreed with. This is what mental gymnastics looks like, and it’s obvious to anyone not entrenched like you.

    What moral ramifications are there for stepping on a butterfly that wouldn’t be relevant if it was still a caterpillar, and vice versa? If there are none, then it makes no sense to compare the two on that basis.

    Nope, my point was simple that calling an earlier stage of a lifeform exactly the same thing as the later stage is silly. You wouldn’t call a caterpillar a butterfly, you wouldn’t call a fetus a person.

    I suspected you wouldn’t settle for a non-medical source for something with a precise technical definition

    Weird that you’d do that. Looks more like you hunted a specific definition that specifies cross-species requirements so you could try to well ackshully someone. Failed miserably because it’s easy to google what words mean.

    if you admit that killing innocent people is wrong

    I won’t, because your definition of “people” is faulty and I don’t want to say anything you’ll take wrongly. Its wrong to take a life in most situations, a fetus is not that.

    people is wrong and so is erasing personhood from human beings. If nobody here can admit that, then their disrespect means nothing to me.

    It pleases me to know bitter idiots like you are, in fact, a dying breed who will be remembered as the stains on history you are 🙂


  • we are all “clumps of cells.”

    Maybe you are, you’re certainly showing the intelligence level of one, but most people are far more than that. They’re lived experiences, personalities, and all the other shit. By your logic a caterpillar is a butterfly, and that’s silly

    Third, a parasite is, by definition, a member of a different species than its host

    1. That’s a link to a cancer website, and it doesn’t even load, so the attempt at Cherry-Picking is extremely poor, do better with your fallacies or you’ll bore me

    2. parasite. noun. par·a·site ˈpar-ə-ˌsīt. : an organism living in, with, or on another organism in order to obtain nutrients, grow, or multiply often in a state that directly or indirectly harms the host - well wouldja looky there, doesn’t require a different species at all and, in fact, applies to a fetus too!

    Got any more bad points to try and make because you don’t understand basic biology or are you ready to admit youre ignorant and just go learn some shit? Nobody will be mean to you for admitting your ignorance and becoming a better person. Shit, we’d actually probably respect you then, unlike now
