“Mine said I should expect my vision to fail in five years because of my age and that the style of my glasses was out of date”
Fresh, and updated on CoffeeGeek today: Our comprehensive visual step by step guide to using a Hario V60 coffee brewing system! We've added some history and background to the brewer in this guide.
@coffeegeek@coffee Regarding the point about releasing the CO2, is there any research on that? Or is it just the air trapped between the grounds? I see it said in a lot of guides but would be interested in any science behind it :)
I got a scam robocall earlier today from a premium rate number to tell me that Amazon had just debited my visa card for $714.thingummy, and to stay on line to talk to a Visa representative. So I hung up.
Clues it's a fraud: I'm a Brit: I have a Visa card, but I have never dealt with Visa directly. Visa is a franchise in the UK and my card is issued by my bank, who don't handle suspicious transactions that way.
(Also, it's easy to check my Amazon transactions: liar, liar, pants on fire!)

Blood donation cancelled due to technical issues (needle/vein interaction), but was far enough through the steps that I can’t retry until after standard three month timeout :/
@moopet@danieldurrans yeah, Burning Shores; a worthy add-on to the story. Just finished its main stuff today (it got sidelined by Diablo 4) so now just need to mop up side quests :)
