  1. You make no fucking sense 90% of the time but you sure do take nice pictures. The biggest expense is Mr. Obama's roundtrip flight to Hawaii on Air Force One, which costs $3,271,622. source
  2. 4 million dollars is .003% of the outstanding US debt or about what 8 minutes of us being in Afghanistan costs or about 2.2 hours of the 'war on drugs'
  3. winner I am no scientist but from my understanding if we were even able to distort or affect the field in a way that would decrease matter's mass the matter would not survive the process. My only understanding of this is from reading a single book however (The Fabric of the Cosmos)
  4. I enjoyed that more than any family guy episode I have watched in years.

  7. I'm not audiophile but I have way too many records and turntables that never get used.

  12. “There’s no question I support Second Amendment rights, but I also support an assault weapon ban” Romney said, referring to his signing of a Massachusetts assault-weapons ban in 2004.

  14. I wear a thin wool long sleeve jersey and a windbreaker down to about 45F. A wind breaker is key bike gear to have, even the cheap $30 pricepoint.com version. <--- year round bike commuter for many years
  15. RTA bus driver suspended after punching passenger http://www.wkyc.com/news/article/264953/45/RTA-bus-driver-suspended-after-punching-passenger
  16. When asked how to reduce the deficit Gov. Romney says that he can make it up in spending cuts. Fine. He is entitled to that opinion. I think the kerfuffle about all this is when asked for specific things he would cut his first line item after the PPACA (whose repeal would increase the deficit by $109B) is to say he would cut a PBS subsidy worth $450M. It's like asking a fat person how they are going to get in shape and they first they say is "I'm going to switch to diet soda." Sure that might help your caloric intake but that alone won't make you fit so why mention it. You don't become fit by switching to low kcal drinks and you dont fix a deficit by eliminating a single $450M expenditure. YES! now all we need to find is 36,000 more $450M programs to cut and we will be debt free

  20. Depends if you think you will ever get an espresso machine down the line or not because you can avoid having to buy another grinder for that. I have a Gaggia MDF at home and I hate the doser. I have been looking at replacing it with the Baratza Virtuoso, Mazzer Mini, or Rancilio Rocky. If you don't think you'll ever get into espresso territory I think the Baratza Encore is a very good value. I have a Cuisinart Supreme and it makes a goddamn mess but it's not bad for keeping at work and I use it to make press pot and pour over. If you want to geek out you can read some of the different methods of using the press pot and aeropress here: http://brewmethods.com/ Also, buy a thermometer. Controlling the water temp is key for making a good aeropress cup.
  21. Fair enough. Plenty of people are like that about wine but I don't think you'd tell someone who appreciates wine that they are either lying or should be a professional taste tester when they know the difference between 2 different ones.
  22. Given the same high quality beans I am confident that I could. I think it is fairly easy to tell coffee that has gone through a paper filter versus one that hasn't . I can taste the difference in areo-press and pour over given the same beans but I also use different grind settings and water temperatures for the brewing device I am using.
