That's a valid point. For me, I use my siphon sparingly nowadays (maybe once a month), so it ends up being every time I use it. So, in the grand scheme of things, not much I think. When I was using the siphon more often (maybe 3 or 4 times a week) I would boil it at the end of the week—much higher impact for sure.

If I were going to plan this out a little more for my current routine/usage, I could boil it inside my kettle when I do my monthly descaling, but that might degrade the cloth much faster.

I have one for my siphon—filters the grinds perfectly well, but as others have touched upon, it's a bit of a chore to keep clean. In addition to cleaning after each use, I boil the crap out of it every now and then for extra measure with a touch of vinegar and it seems to keep it clean.

I still use paper filters for my v60 and I've never used the coffee sock on it. Maybe I'll give it a try.

They sent me an email once inviting me to be a guest editor. I thought it would be a cool experience and a neat thing to have on the CV.

I mentioned it to my advisor at the time and they told me that frontiers does that pretty often and that these special issues don't amount to anything.

Frontiers isn't alone of course. MDPI is notorious for shitty editorial practices too.

I've heard some of my more senior colleagues call frontiers a scam even before this regarding editorial practices there.

It's actually furstratingly common for some reviewer comments to be completely ignored, so it's possible someone raised a flag and no one did anything about it.

I usually do natto and an egg (fried or raw, depending on how I feel). If I feel extra fancy, I throw in some shiokara in the mix—add some nice, salty ocean flavors to the slimy goodness.

I'll just book AAF for 10 consecutive shows where they're only allowed to play the smooth criminal cover.

I've had the xperia 5iv for a little over a year now and I'm pretty happy with it. It's still not a small phone, but I think it's among the smaller phones.

I also quite like the expandable storage and headphone jack.

If the sellers were truly serious about marketing these, they would've stuck a single hotdog in the package peaking out of the top of the pants.

This reminds me of the etymology of バカ (baka, stupid in Japanese).

I don't know if that's what's intended or not.

No, if you want to assert dominance you piss on the leg of the person you're trying to dominate in the style of Lyndon B Johnson.

One problem I used to have was using the wrong email address to send work-related stuff. Now, work stuff lives in outlook and my personal stuff lives in whatever non-outlook email client doesn't suck.

This is not to say outlook is great—i fucking hate it.

Related to suicide ride, but I'm a millennial: I had a childhood friend who rode down a hill on the pegs once. He thought the best solution for slowing down mid-hill was to jump off.
