Maybe it's because the authors gathered research papers on all types of electric toothbrushes?

In my experience, the difference between manual and electric toothbrushes is huge. I'm no longer nervous about visiting my dentist.

It's not a comics, it's a Soviet type propaganda.

After going with a sonic toothbrush, I felt my teeth were actually clean. Much cleaner than before.

By saying "boilerplate", I mean constructors, simple methods and even small classes that have some "standard" implementation. Copilot easily writes simple constructors, class initialization and destruction. It can suggest small method implementation, right after I added its declaration to related interface. Anything, that can be done almost without thinking of how to do it because there are standard practices, is handled by Copilot. It's not perfect, it can write a whole method at a time, or only line by line, or refuse to suggest any code. But it often writes valid code.

Copilot shines where snippets/templates don't work or make no sense. It can write constructors, simple methods, and even simple classes if something similar is found in the solution.

GitHub Copilot became my daily helper at work. While I'm not 100% satisfied with its code quality, I must admit it's very handy at writing boilerplate code. A few days ago, I had to write code without having internet access, and it was so disappointing to write boilerplate code by hand. It's an easy task, but it's time-consuming and unpleasant.

Wrong. I'm no owned.

Come on, socialism is an economic system where society owns means of production. That's what happened in USSR. The problem is, society cannot function without structure. There should be some representatives like secretaries. And those people have more power than others, even more, they can have near absolute power. And those people aren't the best. As a result, bad people own all society, and there's nothing to do with it. Under capitalism, if an employer is bad, workers can just quit and find another job. Under socialism, if the employer is bad, there is nothing to do because there is only one employer: the state. Capitalism is not bad, people who have lots of money are bad. But imagine exactly same people gain absolute power. That's what was in the USSR. Greedy people, who wrote anonymous letters accusing others, benefited from it. They received confiscated flats and furniture. People of power lived better than others, they had better flats, better food, better goods. They were "elite". All of them were actually higher class. And they stated they were caring for society. All their deeds were for good, they said.

I believe regulated capitalism and democracy are the best for imperfect humans. If people were ideal, any system would work flawlessly. But people are flawed, and any system giving absolute power leads to a state where bad people rule others.

Finally, AeroPress made of glass and metal, came out. Its double-walled design should reduce heat loss.

Price: $149,95.

Was introduced on Williams Sonoma first

 

I've been using James Hoffman's recipe since I bought AeroPress, and I was pretty satisfied. While being simple, it produced rich, balanced cups of coffee for both light and medium roasts. I was happy with it. But then I started noticing that some light-roasted coffee was too bitter. It rarely happened, but when it did, it wasn't possible to get rid of that excessive bitterness. When I tried to increase the grind size, I got watery, but still too bitter coffee. At first, I thought there was something wrong with the coffee beans, but then I thought, maybe immersion brewing was just not suitable for them. So, I decided to find another recipe.

I wanted to try a hybrid recipe containing a percolation phase, as I believed it could produce more balanced cups. So I searched on the Aeromatic app and found a recipe from The Real Sprometheus. It has a long percolation phase and quite a short immersion phase. And this recipe fixed my coffee. I got a balanced cup without excessive bitterness and with more detailed acidity. Now, this is my recipe to go, as I think it's superior to James Hoffman's recipe.

Shark Lock is even better than I thought. It's so smooth and easy to operate. See example (2.2 MB)

Blocking vs filtering (self.syncforlemmy)

What's the difference between block user/community and filter user/community? Why do we need filtering feature if we can block?

Infused coffee (self.coffee)
submitted 1 year ago by Gxost to c/coffee
 

How do you like infused coffee? On one hand, it has unusual flavors, on the other hand, those flavors are added. What is more important, experiencing an unusual taste or drinking good coffee instead of the flavored one?
