Yeah. We usually consider lawyers, doctors, tech people, academics at fancy universities etc. to be rich. But in the grand scheme of things, they're upper middle class at best. The real rich are all people with generational wealth coming from businesses.

I have many symptoms of ADHD, but thankfully not this one. I never really forget where I kept things, in fact I remember them in absurdly high detail. Maybe that's a symptom too, who knows.

You still missed being with your family, and no one really gives a fuck about how distraught you look. Congrats, you got played.

I'm willing to bet $5 that Stephanie too voted red.

Her abuser got his punishment and did not need her violence for it to happen.

Can you read? If yes, read the article. She did try other things. Nothing worked. It's easier to say wise-sounding shit when you make up your own facts, I guess.

I hope you step on a lego and develop a skin disease.

Motherfucker, you know what happens if you walk away from an abuser? They abuse you further. Read the fucking article. Violence wasn't her first response. It was her last resort. Some need to be dealt with violence, since it's the only language that they understand.

I see you replying with the same bullshit on over this post. I wonder why you feel so comfortable defending a piece of shit pervert.

I get it, but why punish the bullied person then? Let them off the hook as well. That doesn't follow any logic.

Aside on the Platner thing, I don't like the guy because he gives off some weird vibes. But I don't think he's a Nazi. He's been pretty honest about his past, and I think we should learn to let people grow.

Americans seem to be too comfortable defending perverts.

I don't know how good my English is, but it's my third language. Bengali and Hindi are my first two. I speak a couple more languages closely related to these (e.g. Urdu, Punjabi, Assamese, Odia, Sanskrit etc. Also been trying to learn French). But I can't read or write in them.

I learnt English from two sources. My reading and writing abilities mostly come from school. I had some pretty good teachers, who encouraged reading newspapers to learn English. At least in my case, it really helped.

When it comes to speaking and understanding spoken English (with all its irregularities due to accents and whatnot), watching movies and cartoons helped. I used to download and watch all kinds of movies during high school, possibly some that I shouldn't have watched at that age. My love for movies is basically what made me somewhat competent in the spoken aspect of English. (It also got me into piracy, and ultimately into FOSS, so I guess I owe a lot to the great directors whose movies were hard to find legally lol.)

I've edited my comment with some more recommendations. Mokapots are very forgiving, so you'll be fine with preground coffee. If you get a decent hand grinder, I'll bet money that you can't tell the difference between that and any fancy grinder, Mokapots are just that forgiving.

Use it within a week or so, and it's very close. Hell, I'd say even two weeks is fine; but it may depend on your method of brewing, and sensitivity of palate. You can even freeze part of the grounds to keep them fresh for longer. James Hoffmann did a nice video about it.

If you really want to grind yourself, you can get really nice hand grinders for around $150 from 1Zpresso. If you're on a tighter budget, Timemore C3 is a good cheaper optiosn, that's good enough for anything that's not espresso, or turkish coffee.

Yeah. I have a somewhat cheap one at around $300, but if you don't wanna buy, try looking for local roasteries. They usually offer preground options. Even some coffee shops will grind it for you if you ask nicely. Their grinders are usually much fancier than whatever any enthusiast will buy anyway.
