Couldn't it be blocked entirely with some rule in ublock? I haven't looked into that, but surely it must be possible?

For those who wonder why we need pride parades, this is why. Because basic human rights are not something we can take for granted and there's always groups out to turn back the clock.

Prepare yourself and your fianceé by adjusting your expectations around a new and challenging reality, and don't be afraid to ask your loved ones for help. It takes a village to raise a child, and to remain in a healthy relationship.
Not all can have a kid, and not all kids are little angels their first years, but I'm confident that its among the most challenging and rewarding things in life.

But for espresso at home its fantastic, I use it with ESE-pods out of laziness, but the outcome is on-par with a "real" espresso.

- If you go with Aeropress (which I recommend), learn the inverted brewing style. Go with 21 grams medium ground coffee and 200 ml water at 90 degrees celcius.
- As for beans, specialty coffee is expensive but you'll understand why once you tried it. My favorite when it comes to sweetness is when the beans have been sundried - it gives them even more sweetness.
I'm confident you'll experience more sides to coffee than bitterness with this, and if not - life is full of other pleasant drinks too :-)

Do mind that I only do my espresso through a handpresso, so take my advice with a bucket of salt :-)

It was a fiasco - there was an overwhelming stench, my roast was uneven and it was not worth it. And later, as I understand it, beans should "rest" after roasting for a few weeks before being consumed. Out of all things you can do to make your coffee cup more enjoyable, roasting is an art in itself and the investment:payoff ratio is much lower compared to learning how to brew correctly, or milling the beans just before bewing your cup, or just buying quality beans.
...did I mention I'm a huge coffee nerd? So ping / DM me if you want to strike up a conversation about the black gold ☕

Comment on What are some good mobile games which doesn't require dragging? in ~games

(OP: you will need to drag your finger on unCiv to pan the map)
I can't recommend slay the spire enough. It's a deck builder against the computer, runs locally, no annoying pay to win or other nonsense - just pure high quality fun.
Shattered pixel that has already been recommended is also awesome.
If you want to scratch the 4x itch (and lose a couple of days of ypur life I. The process), unciv is a really good implementation of the civilization formula.
Have fun! 😀
