    I haven’t kept up with his stuff but according to some article I read, he’s been essentially crippled for a few years now? Like had to be in a wheelchair 2 years ago, then vomited so much blood at one point that the fight was pushed by 6 months… He’s not healthy for an 80 year old, much less 58.

    There’s no pot involved here, you put it in the mug, but ideally you also use a super fine grind so it stays in the mug usually

    “everyone else is drinking weak coffee, I make the real stuff” kinda like Terry was certain that his ways were best even though alternatives already existed.

    Oh fair enough

    To be fair I didn’t mean to insinuate that it’s manlier to drink literal mud, it’s just how my mom always made it for herself when I was a kid and I just… learned to like it. It’s very much an acquired taste. But yes, there’s always a moment of pride when people say “wtf how can you drink this shit” :)

    Formerly Gentoo, now TumbleWeed user. But this chart doesn’t align

    I put the ground coffee (a lot of it) in the mug and pour hot water. Stir it a bit later, then the grounds stay put in the bottom usually. I’ve been told I drink asphalt, but then I just feel like everyone drinks very weak coffee. I do this because I want it to be a quick process, I don’t want to buy a fancy machine that requires maintenace, and I want my coffee to have a proper kick.

    What distro does this mean?

    Not to devalue your point, but if you truly were spending (10 + 3*75 + 20)*30 + 150 per month (so a total of 7800 USD) and you invest it in an index fund getting back 5%, you’ll have your million in 10 years. 8 years at 10% which is the long-term growth rate of DJIA and S&P 500.

    You’ll still never be the richest person in the world, but if you truly were burning away that much money, you could make decent dough just from investing it passively. In 30 years you’d have like 15 million, more than enough to retire.

    Now the only real problem is that nearly nobody is actually burning that much cash and the “stop eating avocado toast” suggestions are indeed stupid af.

    Wait, do people shut down their computers when they’re done using them?

    I know I did on the desktop PC we had at home when I was a kid… But now the desktop doubles as a homeserver (and does that more than it does gaming lately) and the laptop just goes to sleep rather than shutting it down.

    I got a knock last night. I had to apologize and say there’s no candy - I don’t live in the US. We have our own similar traditions on St. Martin’s day and St. Catherine’s day. The article for the latter even describes it: Wiki, though for either day you can click on the Estonian Wikipedia article to get a more complete description.

    I suppose in the coming years I’ll have to start stocking candy for Halloween too because I don’t really want to disappoint a bunch of kids. Though to be fair, I don’t think they did much trick or treating anyway, they mostly just opened their bag and asked for candy - so it felt kinda lazy. When I was a kid, I remember groups of kids would come knock on our door for either Mardipäev or Kadripäev and they’d usually have something like a song or dance prepared, or at least told us riddles.

    What’s funny to me is that this is just the North to South axis, so if you want to full on go NW to SE, you can do Cape Flattery, WA to Key West, FL for a 55 hour road trip, assuming you’re on meth and have a fuel tank large enough to do 3650 miles or roughly 5870 km without stopping.

    I’m now tempted to take a month off to come visit your country some time in the next few years, enjoying the best of both worlds: My 28 days of basic PTO as an Estonian, and your amazing landscapes in the US.

    Of course I’m also worried that if I were to customize the route to include places actually worth visiting, rather than just stopping at gas stations and hotels, a month wouldn’t be close to enough. Just adding the Grand Canyon adds like 8 or 9 extra hours of driving!
