zabadoh , to World News in France Is Headed Towards Its Most Feral Right-Wing Regime Since the Nazis

Bob Ross' show ended 30 years ago, and PBS and NPR funding has declined even more as a proportion of operating costs since then.

zabadoh , (edited ) to World News in France Is Headed Towards Its Most Feral Right-Wing Regime Since the Nazis

That's what NPR and PBS were supposed to be, but they're so perpetually underfunded that they're almost commercial stations. edit: with corporate sponsors and viewer funding pledge drives.

Some public stations have been taken over by right wing orgs that came in with massive funding.

There's supposed to be a heat wave here next week, so I might have to start my own experiment with cold brew too...

Electric burr grinder is the way to go, unless you're a masochist.

zabadoh OP , (edited ) to Coffee in What's in your cup this week?

It's my second week drinking that Four Sisters Donut Shop Blend from Grocery Outlet, and... It's okay...

It's not completely awful, and it's definitely functionally caffeinated, but without a paper filter it's bitter.

With a filter, it does have a sweetness and fruity acidity that's nice.

As if it's made as a filter coffee, which sounds weird, but I suppose it must be possible.

Speaking of paper filters, I started using a mesh filter in my aeropress, and... The result tastes very similar to my French press...

I got a pack of two mesh filters: One 250 microns, the other 200 microns, and the 200 micron filter doesn't let any fines through at all.

I am alternating days between the two, and I have to say the paper filter in the Aeropress makes a huge improvement in smoothness and taste.

zabadoh , (edited ) to Ukraine in First Batch of Artillery Shells Under Czech Initiative Delivered

Without fuzes, which are only screwed in just before firing, modern artillery shells are really difficult to set off.

If you think about it, the act of firing a shell out of a cannon and sending it miles away is pretty violent, but the shells don’t explode in the cannon.

Without the correct fuzes, the shells won’t even explode when they land.

zabadoh , to World News in For Many Greeks, Six-Day 48-Hour Work Week Now Set to Begin July 1st

The official reason for the introduction of the six-day work week is that there is a shortage of skilled workers on the Greek labor market as the population keeps shrinking and the country losing scores of thousands of workers who fled during the economic and austerity crisis in search of jobs in other countries.

So "The austerity and beatings will continue until morale improves."
