When we had a dog, I divided off an area of the back yard. One area had land mines and was not safe for kids. The bigger area had no landmines and was safe to explore. That was a huge improvement over the first winter with landmines everywhere.

Didn't you buy a truck so you can park on the snow piles? EDIT: Link broke so I made a new one. It looks like AI images only survive for a short time unless you host them elsewhere.

I suspect I have family Xmas that weekend. Have fun.

Does the venue have a mic and speaker for phone? I can answer the phone with my watch but it literally answers the phone, it has no mic or speaker. My family knows it may take a minute from when I answer to when I find the phone and can talk.

As expected, suspended with pay. So for driving like a complete ahole, taxpayers give her a six figure vacation. This nonsense needs to stop. Adjudicate psa charges asap where sufficient evidence exists. Suspended without pay is the minimum position this one should start at unless they can't get...

Have you ever heard of a single cop ever getting a 172 charge? Thee but not for me.

Costco Starbucks french roast still tastes like burnt ass. They got that part of the flavor profile right.

I used to work in a small country restaurant. Pounds of folgers served every day. Owner tried mother parkers for a week as cost was less than half. Failed experiment. Everybody hated it. That's saying something as folgers isn't highbrow. Back to folgers for the next few decades.

It would have been easy for Carney to drop it as a crazy jt idea. Sadly it's a core part of carneys playbook. To gain complete control, citizens must be unarmed.

Tim Hortons is not coffee. It is brown and water. It has shaped the taste of generations of canadians who now think real coffee is awful.

Go to the thrift shop and you might be able to buy yours back. FWIW, I had a glass one before but my current one is double wall stainless. It is nice to be able to bang out the grinds without worrying about shattering the vessel. I don't remember what happened to the glass one. I assume my wife...

Interesting financial analysis on the push for "affordable" rentals and why it is not getting much uptake. TL: DR Each unit of "affordable" housing costs the developer about $250K vs just building market rent apartments. That number is after incorporating the incentives politicians have...

Churches at the local level are mostly altruistic ime. Move up to to national or international levels and the greed and graft rival parliament.

For moto camping, a few drip filters don't take up much space and saves picking grinds out of your teeth.

The Koenigsegg free valves are awesome. I like that guys moxy. Sadly, the entrance price is painful.

Manual coffee grinder is miles ahead of a magic bullet. Hook it up to a drill and spin it slow if you don't want morning exercise. If you want an electric grinder, burr is the way to go. The cheap ones sound like a skil saw in your kitchen. For beans, try to find ones with a roasted on date...

By far my favorite coffee comes out of a clover. The machine is five figures, it breaks often, it uses a ton of coffee and takes minutes of active work to make a coffee. But damn. Best black coffee I have ever had. I'll add another easy idea for MP and OP. Cold-brew. Fundamentally a sieve in a...

If you're on a road trip for other reasons, it looks like places near Ottawa stock it for $30 with a discount for volume. https://www.treeofafrica.ca/products/africafe-coffee-100g Closer to home, did you try Naomi, Grace or Calabar? Not listed on their website but they may have info for you...

My wife bought me a Baratza Vario many years ago. It is not the best espresso grinder but it is acceptable and makes it easy to change grind and dosing for various preparation methods. It was expensive then, it is bonkers pricing now. At one point, it ate a rock mixed in with the beans and made...

Those fancy coffee makers are convenient to use but a lot of work to properly clean. A friend bought a house with one similar. It took me a few hours to strip it, clean it and reassemble. In an annoying twist, there were a couple screws that required removing the machine from the wall to access...
