I generally notice the fruity flavors more but that might just be my palette. I'm not sure how well it works with espresso. Never tried that but now I'm curious

Highly recommend a pinch of salt in any good black coffee.

Really opens the flavors in it.

Which is why you don't do it to bad coffee. It will open up the bouquet of garbage haha

I've become the same. I'm now that person seeking out more obscure and underrated gems from anywhere in the 30s through the 90s. I hate the thought of all this cultural collateral damage disappearing forever.

 

The researchers also say that current fire-resisting gels dry out and become useless about 45 minutes after being applied. With their new material however, because the silica aerogel stays behind until it is washed away, the coating could be applied well in advance of an approaching wildfire while still providing protection when the flames arrive

My current favorite search engine. Just pick one that's running out of your country or close to it. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me.

Thank you for typing up the reply I hadn't gotten to yet.

You the real MVP

The other person who responded to me made a very all written post but it gets a core assumption completely wrong.

They seemed to think that tax revenue in some way has to happen for spending to happen. That's why they think GDP has anything to do with our ability to service debt. But the federal government creates money ex nihilo.

Money has to be created before it can be destroyed through taxation. Spending and back stopping creation of money by private banks through the reserve system comes first. You can't destroy something you haven't created.

It's sad, really. Economists and politicians have blinded everyone with what I think of as "the money delusion".

It doesn't matter if the money can be "gathered up" to be spent on things we need. We do not rely on the money of the wealthy. What matters is actual, real resources and services we can provide.

The national "debt" is a misnomer. That's the amount of dollars left in circulation that have not been destroyed through taxation, as well as the "dollars" that pay interest which we call bonds.

I'm glad to see at least a handful of other people who understand. Fight the good fight, fellow human.

This.

More people need to understand that the debt of a sovereign nation isn't analogous to that of a household.

Public sector debt is private sector surplus.

As someone with decision paralysis and executive dysfunction issues, this is true for me. I'm probably more than capable of using it for a daily driver but there are 5000 flavors and I will likely never be able to make a solid choice until one is obviously vastly superior in some way I need.

This pizza I make is my favorite pizza. Just some bacon under the cheese.

I never said nor implied anything about any other system. I spoke about capitalism.

They haven't overthrown shit.

This is what capitalism is and what it always leads to: siphoning all power to the top small % of people.
