Wife and I went to a protest a few years ago and while we were there they released an alert that highways were going to be shutdown and the National Guard was going to respond. We did our part and then we went home without getting gased, batoned, or shot with rubber bullets.

BashCrandiboot Link ParentHadn't heard of random chess until now. I imagine getting both your bishops on the same color is not ideal, or is that not as much of a disadvantage as it sounds?Hadn't heard of random chess until now.

While we're doing video game adaptations, let's get a Stardew Valley TV series in the works with Hayao Miyazaki.

I've tried a myriad of shit to try and sleep soundly through the night, and nothing ever brings consistent results. I'm super jealous of my spouse, who can seemingly fall asleep and wake up on command.

BashCrandiboot Link ParentDo you wake up regularly in the night? I have ADHD too and I've always connected the irregular sleep with how I feel in the AM. I don't necessarily have a solution, just curious if your experience...Do you wake up regularly in the night? I have ADHD too and I've always connected the irregular sleep with how I feel in the AM.

Maybe you can put together a sort of lunch routine that does the same thing. You keep your productive hours, give yourself a nice break with time for yourself, and maybe even give yourself an afternoon recharge! I'm pretty much worthless (from a capitalism standpoint) after 2pm. I'd love to be able to knock that and be more productive in the afternoons.

When he was born, for some weird reason, one of the things I was most excited for was being like those moms in the old sitcoms who already had breakfast ready by the time her family came downstairs to start the day (I'm technically a dad, but the point remains). It sounds like you have a really fun, albeit busy, morning routine!

BashCrandiboot Link ParentDo it! If you have a small frying pan, like the size for only two eggs, it's perfect. Great for trying different ways to cook your eggs and super easy cleanup.Do it!

Haven't futzed around too much with the grinder settings yet, but I grind it fairly coarse. I'll grind a "single" portion, but I brew a doubleshot from it. I brew directly into a mug filled halfway with pre-heated water.
I get the beans from a local shop with like 20 dispensers on the wall. One of the baristas will usually pick a blend for me, give me some of the flavor notes which I promptly forget, and then I go on my merry way!
I will say, I am surprised by the diversity of flavor from blend to blend. Even store-bought beans have distinct flavors that are nowhere near as noticeable with drip brew imo. Sometimes I'll start drinking a new batch, and the first cup will seem so bitter to start with, but after a few days the flavor really grows on me.
This is weird, but the flavors make me feel like a cowboy. Like I'm sitting out on the open range, watching the sunrise. I pretend my coffee was brewed over an open fire, rich with flavor from the grounds steeping in my tin brewer.
Then again, maybe that's just because I'm usually listening to Hermanos Gutiérrez while I drink my morning cup.
Saving this to watch later. I've been doing a good job of separating myself from the attention economy. The one downside being that it has made me even more painfully aware of how sucked into it everyone around me is. It certainly makes for a lonely world.
