  • Yeah I’ve been dealing with this issue since I came over from the other place last year. It’s incredibly annoying, and a number of times has made me rage-delete comments I’m trying to post. It happens to me every day, but I can usually find a server that works for a while by randomly switching a few times.

    I use ProtonVPN.


















  • Well I’m pretty mad that I’ll never be able to afford a house, despite having a good solid job. My parents aren’t rich, so they can’t help me. And while I’m not mad at them for not being able to help, I am mad that all other things being equal that puts me at a disadvantage.

    Here’s a hypothetical scenario: Let’s say I make $60K a year, am single, with significant student debt. Let’s also say because of the pandemic payment pause, maybe I was able to save, like $5K, and I want to buy a house. Not gonna happen. Now take all the same things but add in well-off parents who could help with a down payment. That hypothetical person gets a house. They have a definite advantage. To me, that’s not just unfair, it perpetuates a system of wealth transfer that only helps part of the population. Everyone should have the same opportunity to own a home, if they want to.



  • I know this isn’t one of the two you were asking about, but I’ve been using this Shardor conical burr grinder every day for about two months now, and I love it. It was only $60, and perfect for my needs (Chemex pourover). Consistent grind, not too loud, and it looks pretty on my counter. I can’t be sure how long it’ll last, but it feels solid and well-built, and is very easy to clean. I weigh my beans first, then dump them in, so the hopper is kinda useless to me, but I can see how some people might like it.

    Fellow’s stuff looks really chic and nice, but I can’t justify their prices.
