The Sixers are truly cursed

Isn’t he just so nice?!

Does anyone have a paywall-removed version of this? I tried putting it through 12ft Ladder, but apparently that tool is disabled for NYT.

I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s just a misdemeanor charge or something like that. Too lazy to confirm though.

Sure that’s high, but I don’t think that’s quite what makes this truly asshole design though. It’s that the trial is on a weekly subscription of $4.99 when a year is only $9.99. $4.99/week for a year is $259.48 which happens to be 2,597% more expensive than the annual subscription. They are hoping people select the trial and forget about it while they rake in an astronomical amount for a third party app for an open source social network.

I think it has more to do with minors operating machinery in the workplace. If he was 18 it’s “just” a horrible workplace accident. But since he was 17, it was illegal for the company to have him operate that piece of equipment and that’s why they were in court over it.

Google’s messaging app actually has a desktop browser based client that you can use to send messages from your computer. So that might actually be a good solution for you. I use it regularly and have no complaints about either the phone app or the web app.

The only way I enjoy drinking robusta is doing Vietnamese coffee with a phin and adding plenty of sweetened condensed milk. One thing to be aware of is that robusta has about double the caffeine of arabica. So depending on how caffeine affects you, you might want to take it easy.

Not molting…

Never heard of this, but I just tried it and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Haven’t used sync before, but I’m really digging the amount of flexibility in customizing how it looks. Thank you for your hard work in developing this so quickly!

My local store had numerous room temp superconductors right next to the perpetual motion machines.

I’m not sure how reliable eBay in Europe is, but I would suggest finding one available from a highly rated seller on eBay.

Espresso is a big learning curve, especially if you want to get good at milk steaming, but the end result is fantastic once you get the hang of it.

I bought the 2019 model of the Gaggia Classic Pro earlier this year and really love it. I have a lot of prior experience as I was a manager and barista in a specialty coffee shop for a while, so that definitely expedited the process of learning how to get great results out of the machine. You may not have that experience to go off of, but there are a ton of great resources online for learning.

What grinder do you have? There’s a good chance you’re grinder may not grind fine enough or consistently enough for espresso. The one thing a lot of beginners underestimate when getting started is how important it is to have a good electric burr grinder that’s made to handle grinding for espresso. Those can cost a lot of money and generally run $300+ for entry level espresso grinding. All that said, for just getting started, I think it’s totally fine to have your local coffee shop grind your coffee for espresso while you start learning the process.

I’m not sure how the Evo comes set up, but the older model was not set up for espresso enthusiasts but rather consumers who aren’t looking to get too deep into it. As a result there were a couple upgrades that I found necessary out of the box; namely the tamper was just a piece of plastic, the portafilter came set up as a pressurized portafilter so I had to remove that piece of it, and the machine was set to 15 bar pressure so I had to switch out the OPV spring to get 9 bars. The Evo machine comes set at 9 bars out of the box so you won’t have to worry about that. I’m not sure about the tamper/portafilter situation though.

Espresso is a blast one you get the feel for it! Let me know if you have any other questions, I’m happy to help!

I think you may be mistaken. The Evo is simply the latest model of the Gaggia Classic Pro. It is a portafilter espresso machine. It is semi automatic in the sense that it has a pump and a boiler, but is not automatic in the sense that it has an integrated grinder and does the whole process for you.

Yeah I have the feeling a lot of them are as bad or in some cases worse than bicycles upfitted with gas engines.

Agreed. From what the article says it seems like this loan was taken urgently to help pay for real estate that him and his mom/stepfather had bought before a sponsorship of his fell through due to his injuries.

I can’t imagine what it’s like to grow up with little money, and then suddenly hit big. I imagine everyone around him is trying to manipulate him and cash in somehow. People in his position need a fantastic support system and a good amount of luck. Seems like he has neither. And now he’s involved in multiple lawsuits at only 23 years old.

Dude needs a mentor like LeBron or Wade. Someone who can guide him through how to support his loved ones without being taken advantage of, how to set himself up for long term financial success, how to keep his body healthy.

I really hope the best for him. He’s such an exciting player to watch when he’s on the floor.
