ingenious

i can't stand the siltiness but i think in the long run i'm going to get cloth filters (there's some highly rated ones out there) and a pourover thingy that'll let me make 2-3 cups

i don't know part of me feels like the illustrator legit thought this was hot

despite the way i wrote that, i'm more concerned about paper waste than i am about capacity

yeah that's been my impression with french press as well. guess i'm gonna dive into the moka pot world

awful renderings of female anatomy in a failed attempt to be "hot" is one of my favorite categories of illustration lmao

dang i don't remember

me neither

i’ll add it to my perpetually growing to do list

you ever see a gonk droid walk? that's why we have toes

this is painful because i have such a huge soft spot for ada

hi not too bad

honestly as someone who spent a couple years with IBS-like symptoms i think you could be onto something with this

I see it as a resource allocation problem that is caused by a motive for profit rather than a motive to make things that address needs of the people as a whole. A lot of software intended for really good and helpful purpose just gets completely ignored or is total garbage.

There are probably applications in computing for making our industries and infrastructure more efficient and safer that we can't even dream of. For example, I used to work for a company that built software used to simulate municipal water networks to do things such as track leaks, minimize water waste, and ensure efficient temperature management. The company was about 10 people large but the software serviced hundreds of cities, many in arid or desert regions of the world, where water conservation is paramount.

Unfortunately, the software was extremely buggy, as cities just don't have the money to compete with the amazons and googles of the world. Sometimes I wonder how amazing we could have made those tools if we had 25, or hell, 100 people.

No, I don't think we've taken computers too far. I think we've been coerced to attend to diversions that largely benefit those with access to the levers of power. I think in a liberated society we could take the wealth of talent and science we have and use it to solve actual problems.

the advent of the "hey sign up" "here's a support chat box" "how are you enjoying the site?" lightboxes and overlays herald the doom of the web

i'll be sad though

(that was a joke)

if i found out anyone has actually done this they will be banned
