I saw a video on youtube where the guy poured 200ml of water over the coffee and leaving it for 2 mins before plunging and that gave me a result more to my liking.
Any tips on how to get the best out of it? I remember Strewelpeter talking about using it upsidedown or something?
I use one scoop of ground coffee and then add as much water as I want, typically enough for a small strong americano. For me 90 seconds seems to be the sweet spot.

So if the Lotto isn't won on Sat, the Match 5 + bonus winners get the full 19m? The story wasn't particularly clear.
Would be more fun if they spread it out through the tiers, like you would win €50 for Match 3 or whatever instead of the usual €3. Think of it as cashback."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Take the can drinker, to make it easy we’ll just say he (or his household) goes through a slab a week. On average he’s now paying about 70% more than he was before MUP. In fact, if we take the price at which a slab went down to at Christmas time (€15), he’s paying about 170% more.
Do you not think that with these percentages, ordinary tax paying, not a problem drinker, Joe Soap doesn’t have a right to feel slightly agrieved? Especially seeing as his money is going back to Diagio etc and the dubious, unproven, ‘experimental’ as you say yourself claim that it will help problem drinkers? I think he does.
A small increase, maybe 10% he shouldn’t perhaps but then i cede that a 10% increase certainly isn’t going to stop problem drinkers.
I don’t really drink at home so i think its a rather unbiased view.

New Lotts & Co opened in Terenure. Once you know you're getting robbed walking in, it's a super shop. Delighted it's there. Spent way too much last night on needless things but already looking forward to going back.
Terenure a strange place. Usually a cemetery for businesses and i always thought that was because of the lack of parking. 3 upper market grocery stores opened within about 80m of each other in the last 5 months. I'd say zero chance the 3 of them are there in a year and contrary to the demographic the Lidl and Aldi that opened in the last few years are flying,

Funnel is just for throwing your coffee and water in to prevent spillage. Quick rinse immediately after use and it's grand for the next cup.

And no, they're not all recorded which is frustrating as fuck cos things went so well online for 1st year, I was hoping it would continue. Commuting to/from campus is a massive waste of time. I'm doing an arts degree, it could 100% be done online but they insist on bringing us in.

I don't touch anything like that with a bargepole. So easy to be misinterpreted. If I did have a hottake it would be that we should blame the murderer himself, not an entire gender, for the murder.
Such a horrific story.
I think it's about a lot more than that murder, the blaming men thing I mean.
Women are all over social media right now talking about the fear they feel generally. Whether it's not going for a run in the dark, like this girl, or not walking home alone, or being afraid to get a taxi.
We (men) are responsible for that. All of us.
We all know nobody here, or very very few men we know are an actual danger to women. Women don't know that though.
It's just about being aware that they fear us. That awareness gives us the power to limit that fear. Not walking behind a woman at night time, crossing the street when approaching a woman. Maybe waiting on the next lift when a woman gets into one. Little things we can do.
We're not aware of that fear because we don't experience it.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Without wanting this to sound weird, but walking behind Irish women and walking behind French women (oh, it is sounding weird), and there's a noticeably higher level of antsyness in Irish women. It seems almost cultural in a way, the fear aspect. The reason why I noticed it was that I'd tend to be highly sensitive to little glances, so would always cross over the road, or make a wide curve when passing, in Ireland when there's any sign of edginess. But that was almost completely absent in France. I don't know the point I'm making here - definitely not that its womens fault that they are scared! definitely not that - but that there's something deeper to work on there, and further emphasising the idea of distance is probably more likely to make things worse? It emphasises the problem in a way? I don't know."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Maybe part of the reason is the higher level of excessive drinking in Ireland, meaning women learn to be more careful in the evenings to avoid drunk Irish men, and that's not a big thing in France, and then that crosses over into the general behavioural differences between the two countries. You don't have to be as worried that the guy walking up behind you has had 20 jagerbombs and is a menace to society.

Don't try and answer immediately - just think about how you can find the same question stupid for one, and 'have meaning' for the other.
