I tried doing things like that and found it unnecessarily risky, particularly when an Aeropress avoids the problem entirely.
To be fair, you can make a big mess with the Aeropress while you push down on the plunger, so maybe I shouldn't praise its safety either.
I wish I had bought an Aeropress at first and never bought anything else. It's a fast and forgiving way of making yummy coffee ranging anywhere from moka-level strength down to drip level strength. It is trivially easy to clean, too.
Something I love about it is that you can start the kettle and while that's happening you can grind the coffee and get the Aeropress ready, which saves time. With a moka pot you are forced to do the coffee grinding and the water boiling in strict sequence, which unnecessarily increases the time from "I want a cuppa" to "This is delicious!".
I am not absolving people. I am describing a behavioral pattern that has remained for decades, if not longer. If anything, it's a cautionary tale.
As a Spaniard, I can confirm that this is a great balanced summary of Spanish politics, in my opinion.
I understand Martin Luther King's quote in its context, but I fail to see the parallel to the situation at hand. Can you elaborate?
How are "white moderates" who tolerated racial injustice similar to moderate parties who suffer electoral losses to far right populist parties? I'm honestly not seeing how the situation is analogous.
"How White-led groups quicky moved more than 200 asylum seekers off a Toronto street to shelter" would be gross and weird, and so is this. Good for them to help out people in need and yikes on the journalist who wrote that headline.
When the middle class struggles, they eventually embrace anybody who promises a break from the status quo.
Moderate parties need to ask themselves what have they done so poorly that these extremists are now becoming popular. We've seen these sort of authoritarian far-right movements across the globe and I'm not seeing moderates offer a great answer.
Personally, I would rather see a shift towards a sustainable future where the necessities of life, such as food, housing, education, health care and public transit were enshrined.
Peaceful protests achieve fucking nothing.
Peaceful protests have been pretty successful in India. Ever heard of Mahatma Gandhi?
If I may...

Autism isn’t something that needs to be cured
My cousin suffers autism. He is in his forties and is entirely nonverbal. He depends on his aging parents to survive: he can't go grocery shopping, he can't bathe himself, he has never had a romantic partner, and I don't have to explain that he can't get a job either.
His mother abandoned her career decades ago to become his full-time caretaker. She hasn't had a real vacation ever since because my cousin only feels comfortable around his parents.
Autism isn’t something that needs to be cured
I sincerely hope life doesn't force you to become the caretaker of an autistic child.
My understanding is that it referred to his allegations that some programs are being funded without the necessary Congressional oversight.
Either way, the matter of fact is that Congress is addressing these concerns regarding oversight, not the reprisals suffered by this particular person. See the recently proposed regulation by Gallagher.
That is an euphemism for "don't eat anything yummy".
It may or may not extend your life, but it will make it feel unbearably long.
