I can imagine its a nightmare to clean. Stuff like this is why I keep rugged reusable pipe cleaners at the kitchen sink. Not to mention I believe you have to use the stainless steel filter even if you use a paper filter?
I would think that just a paper filter would immediately siphon into the hole. Would be nice if they just made a metal insert with holes like the standard cap for paper filters.
That's fair. It really does make a great cup of coffee. I just really want to try things like pour over and moka pot.
Absolutely! I use an app called Timer Widget - Tea Time. I swear I found it on F-Droid, but it seems to have migrated to Google Play only. It has no app interface, but rather is a widget. It's customizable, you can choose the color of the timer and active timer and change the volume plus the sound that plays.

But there's another simple one on F-Droid called Cuppa that's very good, too. If you want something more complex that will go step by step, there's Cofi - Brew Timer on F-Droid. It uses exact instruction input and a timer that will go down the list in order.
Admittedly, standard plunge is the best and easiest way to do it if you just want a good cup of coffee. I went overboard testing and fiddling with this method. It really is a ritual, lol. I feel like a kitchen alchemist sometimes.
In my defense, I spend a little more to get a good brand of coffee straight from the roaster's site, as well as a local coffee I found that is absolutely delicious. I figured I might as well take the time to get my money's worth out of them. This method takes upwards of fifteen minutes, and is not great if you just need to plunge and get somewhere.
Hmmm, strange. I guess you could try ProtonUp-Qt and inject GE's newest Proton in and see if that works. Also, there are some games that wouldn't run for me until I installed the Steamworks Common Redistributables from the tools page in my library. Threw me off recently because I swear that the last time I was on Arch those autoinstalled after switching my compatibility over to Proton.
Big corp facts.
Mullvad, (the vpn, I have not tried the browser) uses a single account number as both name and password, no emails. It allows for multiple anonymous payment methods and it's open source.
Sliiiiightly more trustworthy than Google imo.

We're that one cousin no one talks about.
Lemmy is far from perfect, but so is Reddit, and Reddit is falling further every day. Some users on Lemmy have a bad time because they come barrelling in without reading instance tags, pick an instance name they think is cool, and suddenly find themselves on the front lines of a massive drama war and slapped with tags they didn't even know existed... I know from experience.
So then they'll run off back to Reddit without reading and actually finding the right instance and start screaming how bad it is. Couple that with Reddit trying to hush everything Lemmy and doctoring their platform to make it look bad... yeah.
I'll admit I still use Reddit from time to time because there are communities that don't exist here yet that are actually good communities staying out of this battle. But you can bet your ass I use RedReader and uBO to do it. The moment Reddit started charging exorbitant API fees and peddling NFTs I cut my use back by 90%.
So pick your poison: Do a little research and find the right instance and communities or live as the product and run around with the blinders they give you. Its literally a red pill blue pill deal.
Gives a whole new meaning to "hide yo kids".
I also vape 0 nicotine, but I'm trying to wind down flavor too. Back in the early days of vaping, it was more often than not the flavoring that was causing a lot of health problems. I remember specifically that some cinnamon, grape, and butter flavors would cause popcorn lung. They've since been removed, but pretty scary nonetheless. I still avoid those flavors as a rule of thumb.
If I do have to order flavoring, I go through a site that provides all the MSDS chemical documentation for each flavor. Even then, these "safe" flavors still have skin irritation warnings. Not to mention if you sweeten your juices or buy sweet juices, its more than likely using sucralose, which in high intakes can also promote cancer. I've dived pretty deep into this because I've been making my own ejuice for nearly 8 years. Hell, I still have 5 gallons of 100mg nicotine I'm not using in my freezer (bought just before it was illegal to sell nicotine online).
The tube is interesting though, because this same site sells purely natural flavorings. Could be a nice alternative for vaping addicts. I still avoid disposables like the plague. I've tried one and the amount of flavoring and sucralose you need to achieve that flavor is more unhealthy than the extremely high nicotine. If they make someone who's been vaping for 11 years sick to the stomach, you can bet they are the worst you can get for vapes.
100% subscribed. I'm the type to do a week of research of how and what before I push the buy button on something, and this will a help a ton. Thank you.
