Thank you, Boris. That was a slick transition to the new thread. Posted by: boris | August 06, 2020 at 02:28 PM

Would it be cool if the new thread announcement has a link to the new thread? iPhone users deep in the thread get repetitive finger hurt scrolling back to the top.

Floyd was flagged as experiencing Excited Delirium Syndrome. Cops handled him according to the prevailing protocol.

Local media needs to identify as public utilities rather than news sources after all their gas lighting.

jim nj, bump bump good.

Interesting the Floyd body camera footage finally goes public, and now the behind the scenes communication between the governor and mayor. It's no wonder Democrats held all of this secret for as long as they could. When you've lost the Star Trib... Walz's Lies Matter Frey told the truth, and Walz lied. That is the gist of the Strib story, which includes copious references to the paper trail that shows the governor’s incompetence.

Rocco, 2.5 scoops and 16 oz how hard is it to extract the spoon? I’m using one scoop and 12 oz. got the ameuus mesh yesterday. Those are some tiny holes.

Thanks JOM for the pointer to CCW Safe. It was a little less expensive than a resistance soldering rig.

I would like to get a resistance soldering rig, but yikes the price!

I’m a regular soldering perpetrator for work and hobby. Also an early learner to never grab a dropped soldering iron or knife.

Has anyone considered buying concealed carry insurance, or recommendations?

Clarice, thank you for highlighting the Democrat's losing hand and the losers playing their losing hand. Minneapolis city council and mayor need to be defunded and disbanned; let the city government revert to county government.

It’s August: Rest, Fall will be Even Crazier By Clarice Feldman

Rocco, 16 oz would fill my mug nicely. I have some serious resistance watering down the pressed coffee with the uncoffee'd water. OTOH, with two scoops of coffee that just might work out. I've put half a scoop with 8 oz which is only half as strong your method. I assume you are using the scoop that came with Aeropress. I do enjoy the option to tinker with the method, not possible with the automatic. I have two Aeropress so I could make a double batch if I get another mesh.

Rocco, steel mesh arrived Thursday and I tried it out yesterday. Aeropress coffee has more flavor than the automatic. There's some slight tradeoff; more fiddling about rather than flipping a switch and mug is only half full. Time to first cup is faster. It's easier to press with the mesh than the paper filter. Overall a win. I will condition myself to a bit of fiddling and a half full mug. Thanks for sharing.

I get a bat in the house about once a year. I get a broom and with the bat isolated in a room, swing the broom in a random motion until I hit it. Scoop up and release outside.

Guess how many times Obama says “I” or “me”. Fox is told that former President Obama will deliver the eulogy tomorrow at the funeral of the late Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) at the Ebeneezer Baptist Church in Atlanta

I prefer to get where I’m going early. It’s nice to relax rather than fret about being late due to some unforeseen circumstance.

Rocco, thanks for the reference to the metal mesh filters. I have one arriving Thursday. I've drifted away from the Aeropress over the years for the convenience of the automatic. I will also try the inverted method.

I don’t see a problem with a personal Overton Window pegged to the Orange Man Bad viewpoint while in a Blue Hell. Left unsaid Biden is way more worse. Orange Man gets the vote.

I like to think TM is operating behind enemy lines. I would be hesitant going full MAGA while residing in Blue Hell.

Even more so, after POC Noor was convicted and sent to prison for shooting Justine Damond, the media has trumpeted the narrative by activists that for justice to be served the white cops have to be convicted and sent to prison too.

Yes, that... Maybe you mean they will be upset by the conclusion jurors reach based on those facts. Posted by: anonamom

I don't understand your question, amom. What is it you think I'm kidding about?

Powerline brings cutting edge reporting you won't find just anywhere. I had forgotten about SI. Didn't they used to write about sports? BAR COPS A PLEA
