Can we stop lying about the ACA, please? Jesus, fuck. You KNOW that 70% of the expansion was government paid medicaid. You KNOW that the marketplace was a colossal failure. Stop slinging bullshit for once.

The fiance ordered some fancy designer wallet last week. I get UPS notifications for anything shipped to this address. The first one said it was local and would be delivered last Friday. Then changed to Monday. Then Wednesday. No further scans during this process. Then this Friday, again no scans, no movement. She was getting pissed.
I just had the pleasure of texting her that it just got scanned in Texas.
"WHAT?!?"
One of us is laughing.

Back when I was in the biz, we found out most large shipping companies like UPS and Fedex routed most things through their central hubs. I think one of our shipments bound for Montreal went via the Memphis routeOriginally Posted by RBP

So I got a French Press for Christmas. It's a simple way to make coffee without using premade grounds and/or a drip machine.
The coffee snobs say you need to buy your own beans, buy a specific type of grinder, and use a very particular process to come up with 'a great cup of coffee.'
short version - grind beans, pour water over ground beans, wait for a specific amount of time, depress plunger and viola! Yummy coffee.
So Brilliance here (me), buys a ghetto grinder and some el cheapo beans to experiment with. Beans are Co-op's own generic brand
I bought what's called the Co-op French Roast beans and the description says - A dark bean with a smoky aroma, mild acidity and chocolatey hints in the aftertaste.
I grind up waaaay too much, the grounds I make are not uniform because of the cheap grinder (this is key for using a French Press) and I proceed to make two cups of ROCKET FUEL
The first cup made me grind my teeth, start shaking and wonder what the 7927651st place of Pi really was. Second cup, I'm sure the hair on my butt was sticking straight out.
I probably picked a bad blend to experiment with and my ratios were waaaay off in terms of coffee/water/steeping time
There is something attractive about making coffee with this thing. I just need to avoid the heart attack in the process.
*it was actually a really flavorful, kind of post-dinner specialty coffee a person would get while in a fancy restaurant.
Have you tried using those beans that those cats poop out?

you guys may jest...some of the videos and people who use French Presses are hilarious!
They insist you use a burr grinder, not a blade grinder. If the grounds are inconsistent you can't drink the coffee.
You should use soft water, not hard water. Because trace elements in the water and you can't drink the coffee.
You must use a ratio of 1:10 or so many grams of coffee, per volume of water. If not, you shouldn't drink the coffee.
You must steep it for four minutes exactly. Under that time makes the coffee weak, over that time makes it bitter and over extracted. You can't drink that coffee.
If you expose the beans to air for too long, they are ruined and you must throw them out. No coffee today.
If you expose the grounds from the beans to air longer than the time it takes to make the coffee, the grounds have spoiled and become 'rancid'.
I swear...most of these people have a 200 dollar burr grinder, a digital scale, the most expensive beans sold and will not 'contaminate' their equipment with anything less.
Water must be at 200 degrees. Not boiling and not any cooler.
ffs it's a glass carafe with a metal screen plunger
I'm going to attempt some now
I have a $24 piece of trash covfefe maker from Target.. I drink a cup of hot covfefe trash each morning and then head to work. I would love to sample one of your perfected coffees when you nail it down..
I'm pretty sure that's how they make my Dunkin Donuts extra large dark roast.you guys may jest...some of the videos and people who use French Presses are hilarious!

There's a lot of variables. I think I need to start with a decent coffee bean
I felt like Shaky the Clown trying to tweak the process...tweak being the key word there.
