TYPE LOUDER, I CAN’T HEAR YOU YOUNG MAN!
I will take being an adult with responsibility over being a child any day. All I remember is ennui and a trapped feeling. School sucked so bad, and no control over your own life. I want to know what sort of idyllic childhood the people who write this stuff had? I wasn’t abused or anything, it just sucks being a kid.
“ennui and a trapped feeling … no control over your own life”
That describes adulthood for a lot more people than we’re willing to admit. Adulthood often has the illusion of more choices, but for many those choices have one realistic option.
As a kid, there is at least the feeling of “I’ll grow up and it will be great”, as a working adult it used to be “I’ll retire and it’ll be great”; these days it’s “well, I hope there isn’t teams meetings in the afterlife”.
That depends on your childhood I guess! “Please let is be over with.” was mine.
Seriously, this is by far the worse part about getting older.
It effects health too, cause it’s not dealing with pain that’s annoying, it’s the ever increasing amount of upkeep you have to do to maintain your body.
Descaling? My coffee machine has been running daily for 6 years without that made up mumbo-jumbo!
Well well look at fancy pants over here with the soft water
Hope you don’t have lead pipes and soft water! Cause those two don’t mix. And by don’t mix I mean do mix, which is why it’s bad.
If you don’t put reptiles in your machine, do you still have to descale it?
Doubt it, but what’s even the point then.
You can do that if you have soft water. Hard city water would cake those conduits with calcium in 6 months.
I use instant coffee, I just need a kettle.
I’m team pour-over coffee maker. It goes in the dishwasher every now and then. All parts are visible, so I know if it looks groddy.
Chemex here and I just hit it with a denture cleaning tablet once in a while.
That can do in a pinch, but I don’t like the taste of the few instant coffees I’ve tried
I dont prefer it but it lasts forever considering the coffee I watched steve1989 drink out of old MREs. I keep one jar as a backup.
Thanks for reminding me to order descaler
White vinegar isn’t enough? How hard is your water?
life is a daisy chain of problems that need to be solved
That’s an elegant way to describe the Rube Goldberg machine of bullshit that is life on Earth.
For me its more like lots of chains of various lengths all tangled together.
Life is just a nintendo controller tangle.
some are born into wireless
Everything you own is something you need to maintain and service. Scaling back on stuff can give a real sense of freedom.
On the other hand the Dual Fuel Inverter Generator (Propane/Petrol) I got in the basement gives me sense of security.2 days ago!
…After 6 months of the light blinking.
Damn, I need to descale my machine. It’s been… quite a long time since I last dealt with it.
I have a hard enough time remembering to flush the group head every few weeks.
Thanks for the reminder to flush the group head.
you guys are getting group head?
Living the lifestyle ethically is more work then being monogamous with someone.
But if its what everyone wants who am I to say no? I’ll do my best.
Do what now?
Look, I just want to have a sand pit and be a dinosaur again
Last year. Lucky me I have good water. I should do it again
What a dogshit example
