I mean, an open and seemingly poorly censored market place of assets and “experiences” targetted at children sounds like a recipe for disaster to begin with. Many parents aren’t technologically adept enough to look past the website, seeing it’s marketed at children and going “must be fine”.

This isn’t a defence, but the world gets more and more complicated every day and people are just asked to deal with it… Seems like many governments have just given up trying to regulate anything, and therefore there’s no incentive for trash companies like Roblox to put in any protections.

They don’t ship outside the US.
Hope I saved somebody a click.

Ozone Coffee Roasters
A New Zealand brand, also available in the UK. Beautiful single origins from all over, for a decent price (for NZ at least)

I’m not addicted.
I can stop playing whenever I want.
I definitely don’t think about how best to optimize the order of Jokers when I should be working, that’s silly, why would you even mention that?

Lol oops.
Bet that brewed up a bit burnt?

It’s 100% just a cultural thing. It just didn’t catch on.

Just like how American households are much less likely to have an electric kettle then a UK household. This fact baffles British people.

Yess, always love to see a fresh convert to the magic that is the Aeropress. Welcome to the club friend. My favourite thing to harp on about when anyone is getting into coffee. Try to buy from a local roaster, and buy a diverse range of coffee. I get so much joy from experiencing just how diverse coffee can be, and I feel a lot of people get locked into one blend from their local supermarket.

Single origin is more expensive, but being able to taste the difference between a nutty smooth Brazilian coffee and a fruity fermenty Goji Natural Processed bean is wild.

May be using different kit? I use an Aeropress and follow a recipe of 11g grounds to 200ml water.

I don’t have a V60 (yet ;) ) and haven’t read up about the ratios there.

But it’s likely to be different, as the Aeropress is an immersion brewer, while the V60 is a percolation brewer.

It takes like, 30 seconds to put my 11 gram dose through my grinder on a medium, filter coffee setting (25 clicks on the Comondante)
I was worried when I started that it would be a massive hassle, but it’s really not (in my opinion, experience is subjective :p)

If you haven’t found him already Mr James Hoffman on YouTube is an insanely knowledge and engaging resource on all things coffee.
Lots of excellent watching there to help you start out on your coffee journey.

My guy, going from Zero to 100 so fast. Love to see it.

Food for though on grinders: How much coffee are you going to be grinding at once? Do you need an electric grinder?
The are very good manual grinders that will produce as good if not better results for half the price of the Ode.
I own a C40 Mk4 Nitro Blade seen here And I absolutely love it. The ritual of cranking the beans through the grinder is kinda therapeutic for me.

Regarding beans please do not stop at this one brand.
For me, the magic of specialty coffee is just how different a cup of Guji Ethiopian coffee can taste from a Brazilian coffee.
Find some local specialty roaster and start sampling the expansive world of coffee.

Welcome to the club, it’s great to have you.

Absolutely none lol.
I have found jumping back in and just trying to follow the Iceborne quests to be easy enough to get back into…

I am in “Endgame” content now.

Started cranking Monster Hunter again.
Finally finished Iceborne. Monster hunter’s gameplay always blows me away.

Pretty cunning if you ask me.
How’s the flow rate on dat boi?

If the temp hot enough and, and flow is good enough, why not?

Now you’re gaming like it’s 1996.

It’s pretty sick at a lan, because being open source, can just copy paste it to friends machines to do massive brawls.

I have used OPENRA before, it’s safe.

It’s also open source, so you can go dredge the code yourself if you are really concerned.

I have just recently picked it back up, vowing to finish it before I buy Baldur’s Gate 3

Def deserves a playthrough with the characters, their stories aren’t bad.

But you choose well with Necros, they are fun as hell.

Filter coffee is generally weaker then say, Espresso. (And by weak, I mean, disolved coffee per volume of water) But, for a stronger brew, I suggest more coffee, and a longer brew time

I have been using the Aeromatic app to see what it people are up to with their Aeropress recipes and just kinda adjusting to see if I like it.

My first brews were with a darkish espresso blend, and it came out quite bitter, so I adjusted down the extraction time, this made a more palatable brew for myself and my wife.

Holy shit that is rad!
I didn’t know people brew Kava with the Aeropress.
I’m glad me posting the start of my adventure helped you start yours. :D

Yeah, I have been proping up the Aeropress with my free hand when I press.
I also press rather gently, as the prophet Hoffman suggests.

But yes, I need to remember to be careful :D thanks!

Chur cuz, proud home of the flat white.

Loving Ozone so far, I will have to branch out into other roasters eventually.
Their cafe in Grey Lynn goes off.

Glad to hear an expat is enjoying a taste of home.
