I used to call developers bunnies. There were lots of them, they were young, and they needed to be shielded from various forms of BS. Eventually someone found it offensive, so that was the end of that.

Maybe - if you say so.
I, for one, took it for a slur upon some (allegedly human) members of the coding community and took it as a well established and self evident "given".

It was in a line next to my cats, which apparently didn't give it enough context.
Now if you choose to continue with your original reading and be offended by it, don't let me stop you.

Going with my original reading I was NOT offended.
In fact, my followup text reinforced and heartily supported the reality of the interpretation that was referred to by (name withheld) as offensive. Someone finding something offensive neither adds nor diminishes from its voracity

In Spain we say, "CAFE" is for "Corto Amargo Fuerte y Espeso" what translated is "Short Bitter Strong and Dense"
At the moment I use one like this one[^]
But if I have to buy a high class coffee machine anywhen... it will be the little sister of one of these machines[^]
i.e one like this[^]

Aside from the joys and entertainment of vacuum-drip, I keep it simple:
Cup. Fine strainer. Boiling water.
Put coffee in cup (a finer grind is quicker)
Put boiling water in cup.
Wait however long you think it takes.
Pour coffee through strainer - preferably into another cup.
With very little practice it's coffee exactly how you want it - no limitation due to machine design. Basically no moving parts - nothing to break, aside, perhaps, from the cup.

I partially agree with you, but without a bit of incremented water pressure it is more difficult to get the espresso creme and I would say it affects the taste a bit too.
Same kind of coffee in the italian machine (the first one) or in a french one (like this one)[^] or in the tipically used in germany (drop machine[^])... I would say coffee tastes a bit different (or at least does subjectivelly for me, maybe is a "placebo")

Nope. I can't remember a four item list when I go to the grocery store, but I always remember her birthday!

I'm the same - except for her birthday, JHan 1st is easy to remember, if a pain to get a present for...
Shopping lists, on the other hand ... I use OurGroceries[^] - it's free, works via browser for PC, and directly for iOS and Android; it shares shopping lists so you can both add and remove, and it helps a lot in "get what you wanted, not what you see".
And I learned a long, long time ago: never go food shopping when drunk or high. What you get will not be what you needed, or what you wanted. or in many cases even recognisable as food...

On this new phone, you can have two versions of the same app running side by side with separate logins, data, etc. "App Twin" - I think it's meant for trolling accounts.
And there is always "Private Space" ...

Jot the 4 items down on a list - then you only need to remember one thing: The list.

the most important thing to remember in a supermarket is where the exits are.
after that it's just a matter of reminding the wife what you need.
I'm thankful my wife not only enjoys shopping but prefers the company of her like minded sisters over me when doing it ... win / win
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

My brother-in-law married my sister on her birthday.
This could be either smart, or stupid.

Well, like so many marriages, this one ended up in divorce anyway, so...
And no, it wasn't because he ever did forget either her birthday or their anniversary.

Our first date was on my birthday and hers is the day before my sister's.
I reckon hope stupid doesn't describe the choice. :crosses-fingers:
