Black Raven Dragoons

Was Elade able to get her last event last night? Is she sane this morning? Stay tuned!

[Zancarius]

Yes she did, and I think she retained her sanity (for the time being). So basically 2+ extra hours wasted for a shiny halo. Worth it? You decide.

Kinda glad that's out of the way. Personally, I'm not going to spend another weekend farming stupid crap for a very, very, very long time. That halo better be made out of the shiniest polished meat bicycle you can imagine, because I was going to work on the goon forum redux instead of farming.

Oh well. (Side note: If anyone wants to help port from bootstrap 2 to bootstrap 3, I'm all ears. )

[Elade]

I shall appreciate my halo more when my cerebral reticular formation stops short-circuiting. In related news, coffee still tastes terrible.

[Zancarius]

Just follow the unhealthy protocol I do: Add more sugar and creamer until it stops tasting terrible.

This, hah!

[Zancarius]

Hahaha.

As an aside, making coffee in an Aeropress is a million times better than using a crappy drip maker (and less mess than using a french press). Definitely not as bitter or burnt, and in the long run it's probably cheaper. It's really great when you combine it with a good grinder like this one and make a near espresso grind.

Since I have to drink decaf coffee to minimize my caffeine intake, I've found most such coffees taste absolutely horrible if you prepare them in the traditional American style (with a drip maker). Through the Aeropress with a good grind, it tastes surprisingly like fresh coffee!

(Also, I've used the Aeropress for loose-leaf tea before, including some herbal teas, and it works great. Easy clean up, too!)

Communist! Just kidding! I'll have to check out an Aeropress and see how I like it. I rarely drink coffee unless I need a pick me up from a late night and no real sleep. The application of it for tea sounds interesting since I do make that more than coffee.

Best part is the Aeropress was invented by Alan Alder, an American mechanical engineer!

It's basically like a drip maker, a french press, and a turkey baster had a love child.

Ya'll must be drinking some really bad coffee.... or the numerous ear surgeries I have had have killed my taste buds....

[Zancarius]

Probably the latter.

Black coffee is an acquired taste, kinda like Vegemite.

Except that with Vegemite, if you don't like the taste, you can use it to grease machinery.
