  • The 2020 election was questioned by republicans for months after it concluded. Many investigations were made and found ZERO evidence of interference. If anything, some republicans were charged in a handful of states for election interference crimes.

    Questioning an election is one thing, but outright denying the results even after all the evidence suggests that no interference/meddling occurred sets a precedence for future candidates that they can cause chaos in the system by just constantly claiming elections are rigged, eventually causing distrust of the entire system by voters who will just assume that their votes don’t matter because the decision has already been set.

    I believe if you are attempting to discredit an election, not because of the potential for foul play, but because you are just upset that you or your candidate of choice lost, and you attempt to destabilize the democratic system in order to achieve your goal, that is treason/sedition and should be a crime that is delt with a severe penalty.




  • There’s a huge hate bandwagon for Manjaro and I don’t really understand it. I don’t consider myself a linux expert and maybe that’s why but I felt like Manjaro was very accessible to someone new to Linux who wanted to use Arch. You have the ability to install what you need while also having a relatively stable system. I enjoyed that it came with software that I would normally be using but I know there’s a lot of diehards who want just Linux and to install things themselves, in that case they should just use plain Arch or Endeavor, but I think for others Manjaro is perfectly fine.







  • I’m using stilosa with bottomless pf. So far my main issues seem to be inconsistencies across my workflow. Using same grinder settings and puck prep, shot times are almost always different. Sometimes it will just decide to choke the machine, other times what used to be a 30s shot will turn into a 25s or lower shot.

    I know that some of this can be attributed to the beans themselves as they age, but I still feel like the machine is what’s causing most of my headache.

    However from what I’ve learned, the stilosa uses a boiler where as some other espresso machines use an induction heating mechanism? I’ve read that while boilers take longer, they’re supposed to have more consistent temperatures. Not sure if that’s true.

    I’m worried that if I go to the BBP, I’m mostly going to run into the same issues.
