    He’s a billionaire, of course he has some relations with crime, Musk is just dumb enough to say the quiet part out loud.

      I would hesitate before judging someone purely on one statistic but it’s difficult to imagine how one amasses that sort of money ethically. If I asked you to think of a billionaire that you would leave in charge of children, who would you pick? Bill Gates perhaps, Warren Buffet? It’s slim pickings.

      Jon Ronson advanced the idea that psychopathy is over-represented in the CEO class and presented some compelling examples in his book, The Psychopath Test.

        It simply can’t be done. How can it be ethical to earn millions times more than you could ever need, while others are in need of it. That’s unethical regardless of if how it was earned. Not a big Jesus fan, but he’s quite right about the need to share with those in need.

        Bill flew on the Lolita Express repeatedly, so I hope nobody chooses that one

      Is that the one with the egg inside? I’d be willing to try it once, but tbh, sounds like a waste of both perfectly good egg and perfectly good coffee.

        No, it’s just common Löfbergs coffee sold here. I think it’s the best coffee you can buy. It’s originated from Sweden.

          Oh, I see. Worked as a barista for like a year or so. Tried a bunch of different supermarket coffees and different cafes and styles and stuff trying to get better at it and also looking for better coffee to make at home.

          Finally settled on an aeropress+ beans from a local roaster while at home as I feel it’s the best value/money and also a couple of other factors such as filter coffee being apparently slightly better for you as you get less coffee oils in the cup and it’s also much easier to make than a v60, for example.

          40€ aeropress+ fresh ground coffee from a local roastery is my recommendation to anyone looking for great and easy coffee at home. Better than any coffee chain coffee and only a bit worse than coffee from a specialty coffee place. Add a grinder for 200€ and that difference gets even smaller.

          That may sound like a snob talking, but everyone that came over and tried our coffee was impressed. Including people that don’t normally drink coffee. My favourite bit is when they’re surprised that they don’t need to put sugar in it. Only people I haven’t managed to convert yet are people that drink Nespresso for the convenience. Oh, and hardcore espresso drinkers that insist that strong, bitter coffee has more caffeine even tho that’s been disproven.

            Daily moka pot user here. My preference is to add a very small amount of brown sugar and then top with some frothed (spun) oat milk.

            Guatemalan Antigua, Yirgacheffe, and Peruvian Penachi are favorites, and of course a decent grinder (you can get a hand-turn burr grinder for pretty cheap, but the automatic ones tend to be pricy like you mentioned).

            I’m a big fan of French press too, as a back up, which I would imagine is similar to aero - I haven’t had that yet though!

              The methods are comparable, yes, aeropress is like a filter + immersion merged into one.

              Haven’t found a favourite origin or variety of coffee, tbh. I’ve had both meh and good coffee from all over the place.

              If I were to pick something, I’d say that recently I’ve had a lot of good coffee from Colombia. Especially this guy Nestor Lasso that’s experimenting with fermentation. Best coffee I’ve ever had was his. Really amazing. But also like 26€ for 250g, so… plus 10 for delivery, as the local guy doesn’t have it. That’s too expensive to get constantly, unfortunately. But I do get a bag 1/2 times a year when I get an email that they’ve restocked it.

    Good. Unfortunately, it just means Elon will be enraged to decimate America further.

    Really hoping for a Player 2. I’d do it myself but I’m a terrible shot.

        Haha. I went to the range the other day thinking, “It can’t be that hard to somewhat hit the targets, right??”

        It was awful. I could never hit the same spot twice with a pistol. Even with a rifle and slowly aiming I still couldn’t. I need more practice I guess.

        Suffice it to say, buying a pistol from home defense was stupid, I won’t even be able to hit anything. I should’ve gotten a shotgun.

      Turns out being a Nazi is bad for business in the ‘globalist’ 21st century.
