I don’t think this is quite right - the “hierarchy of needs” pyramid is misleading. Self-actualization is fleeting just like physical care (eg meeting basic needs) is fleeting - if you stop doing it, things go downhill quickly, and so you’re always doing it at least a little bit.

While a lot of people frame self actualization as what they would do if only all other needs are met, they really should be thought of as needs you must meet to feel fulfilled. Could be as simple as reading a good book, getting out into nature or cooking a nice meal. Anything that you get value from ticks the box for a little while.

I have a dedica and find it can be a little underpowered with an unpressurized basket (though the coffee looks so pretty). First thing I’d try is - without adjusting your grind - to back off to 8g to reduce the extraction time and see how it is.

If you’ve also had it for a while and have never descaled you should do that as well, even if the machine hasn’t bugged you about it yet.

This is the kind of thing that could get him elected president or thrown in jail. Or possibly both.

Also 1 degree C is the same as 1 degree K - only the starting point is different

As stupid as this sounds I think we (and really the media, but we know which side they’re on) should be doing this in F for US audiences. Saying “hey, it’s now 5°F hotter than it was in the 1970s” is more immediately meaningful — and the bigger number looks scarier too.

I don’t 100% agree with everything here but it’s well done. And makes me sad.

So happy to be less than an hour late to the party here but see it’s already full of Futurama comments.

It’s not dumb, it shows the brilliance of the ruling class in controlling the narrative. A lot of people will think this way and continue to support them even though it’s grossly misguided and definitely not in their own best interests.

I was just thinking about this the other day. I’m currently experimenting with a heavy duty lined windshield cover with magnets that attaches to the exterior of the car on the roof and hood. The storage and labor is the biggest issue as you note, as is what to do with it when it’s raining and everything is soaking wet. It also hasn’t been too windy around here yet and I’m wondering if that will be problematic as well.

It’s like bitcoin mining all over again. And providing roughly an equal amount of value.
