What We Learned This Week
Among other things...
The AeroPress is one of the best methods of brewing coffee. I sell them and I encourage everyone to use one. People don't realize how much coffee loses when it is percolated or worse.
The heartbreaking necessity of lying about reality and the heartbreaking impossibility of lying about it.

LA Gang Members Are Reportedly Fighting For Assad In Syria
“Creeper” and “Wino” are two “homies” from Los Angeles-based gangs Sur-13 and Westside Armenian Power. But they’re no longer in LA. Instead, the pair are just two of at least 50 American citizens fighting in Syria. Apparently, fighting for Assad can be more profitable than running the streets of a major American metropolis. Plus, there’s definitely less traffic to deal with.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Would be interesting to see how much of our taxpayer money is going to support Creeper and Wino. Hopefully the Dept of Justice (what am I saying?!!?!?!!?) is on top of this........

There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles and piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave. And keep on thinking free. (Moody Blues)

We are way off topic of course, but check out the stainless steel disk they make http://www.aeropress.ca/replacement-aeropress-filters/ - it is very nice, and I prefer the brew it makes.

Way OT? I dunno. Overall theme aside, does this thread really have a topic per se?Fan wrote: We are way off topic of course, but check out the stainless steel disk they make http://www.aeropress.ca/replacement-aeropress-filters/ - it is very nice, and I prefer the brew it makes.
If you ask me, learning more about coffee is as good as anything else if not better.
