I swear it's not a joke - I do actually drink this. And the two friends I got to try it at least haven't sued me for poisoning them, so it can't be that bad

Beside the convenience of machine-brewed coffee I found the aeropress to be an extremly forgiving brewer. I can't remember ever making bad coffee with it (though I'm a taste barbarian, I enjoy strong flavors, but fine nuances are lost to me, so YMMV). As such my "recipe" is dirt-simple an can be done before having coffee (that circular dependency is always a problem with other methods).
- I have that Fellow Prismo thingie, so need to mess around with brewing inverted
- I usually add a paper filter to the metal filter, but more for cleanup reasons than taste
- 15g beans, finely ground but not quite espresso-fine
- Quickly add 100ish grams of boiling water
- stirr
- fill up to 250g water total
- put on the plunger
- wait about 2-3 minutes, plunge & enjoy
For my friend, or if I'm feeling the occasionly sweet tooth myself, I do basically the same just with 125g total water (can be added in one go, I only stirr after 100 above as it is easier and less prone to make a mess if you are too vigorous) The "missing" 125g of water are then replaced with 125g of milk (or a milk-replacement of your choice) + 5g (or 10 for the espially sweet toothed) sugar that receive the nanofoamer treatment
But as I said the Aeropress is extremly forgiving, you can diverge from the recipe quite a bit and still get good coffee. Sometimes I'm distracted and only come back to plunge after 8 minutes and the coffee is still good. Spoon was too full and now its 16g? No need to pick beans out of the grinder, that'll work too. If you have a feeling for measurements (I don't) you can just eyball that stuff and not sweat the details
Yeah, if they add even just somewhat decent story content they'll get me to spend money on the seasons too. Don't quite remember what put me off from trying D3, but D4 got a lot of praise for its story and atmosphere so I decided to give it a try, even if it was relativly pricy. And despite occasional server hiccups I haven't regretted that decision
It doesn't really make sense, but going to nightmare dungeons to grind so "numbers go up" doesn't really motivate me as much as a little blue exclamation mark and a nice voice over telling me to go to place X and kill monsters Y
I can see why forced restarts put some people off, but for me I guess it'l be a good thing. I'd be tempted to continue my current char otherwise, but a fresh start will mix things up and force me to try a different play style, thus keep things interresting for longer
Yea, thats essentially the problem. Companies getting greedy and trying to squeeze out more money by all means they can get away with. If they priced things fairly (and split the profits fairly with the content creators) a lot less people would have an incentive to look to the high seas. And just maybe (pipe dream, I know) worked out deals with each other so people wouldn't need a freakin website just to find out where the hell they have to subscribe to watch something...
And sure, customers trying to avoid paying for anything is also a problem, but I feel the "cure" a) isn't one and b) hurts the people who pay much more than those who pirate.
Essentially the grass isn't green on either side of the fence and that's why we can't have nice things 🤷
Well I'd argue that two things can be wrong at the same time and I see OPs image mostly as a humorous jibe at the dubious practices that have risen with digital content. When you buy a Disc you can resell it, and the company can't knock on your door and say "Excuse me, we'd like the disc back but we'll keep your money". With a digital movie you just obtain a license to view it that you can't resell and can be taken away from you at any time (the cases I know of are admittedly rare till now and caused at least some public unhappiness and in some cases even law suites IIRC). All at the same or even higher price than before.
Then there is the fact that I'm all for using the correct terminology. When you steal something that something is lost to its previous owner. Piracy isn't stealing it's copyright infringement. Companies just prefer to call it stealing because it sounds more evil. Same with the billions of losses through piracy that they complain about. They are based on the wrong premise that every copy is a lost sale, which just isn't true. Take you for example: you can't afford it, so you personally don't loose them anything. And maybe you even buy some stuff you wouldn't have if you hadn't pirated it, or something else from that company before that you really liked. Then I remember people from my school days who had all the movies, all the games, anything. But when you asked "How is it?" they mostly answered "Oh, I haven't played it". I doubt this kind of "collector" would do the same if it actually cost them money, even if they had the means. In short those number are inflated to make the problem appear bigger than it really is.
Is it still a problem/ morally wrong? Probably, but it does put things in a different perspective for me.
And no, I don't need to justify anything to myself. My limiting resource is time, not money, so I buy my fish in the supermarket instead of trying to catch it on the high seas ;) Doesn't stop me from grumbling about them, obviously
If you are comfortable with ffmpeg you can give termux a try. I used ffmpeg through it in the past to occasionally snip out parts from mp4's and that worked like a charm.
lol, good luck, I can already see them grabbing their pitchforks. And if they do let you live, ask them if they have any crazy recipes of their own and share with us ;)
