I use my aldi measuring cups (the 1,5l ones) for „brewing“, then a french press for the first filtration and a normal „pour over“ filter for the second filtration. So with pretty basic utilities, but it works best for me.

I use a special brand of beans (from hanseatic coffee roasters, hamburg, germany). It has a really flowery flavour which i love.

Personally i found a very old sailor technique to produce the coffee the best for me - letting a coarse grind sit in cold water for about 10-12 hrs and double filter it afterwards. Sweetened with maple syrup and cream.

This really makes my day. A bit of joy in the morning.

Me? Oh gosh, i am atheist by heart ans follow my own set of morals. For me the concept of a religious leader alone is wrong.

I did have the pleasure to talk to him one time and he seemed more progressive than others before him. Some of his beliefes and actions I would consider wrong, but he stood for his beliefes, for friendship and for the poor and i respect that.

The thing with popes who disagree with the administration is, they die quite easily.

The pope was not against the principles of the church. He was quite revolutionary, though. He challenged the „priests cannot marry“ principle. He revoked church protection in case of sexual accusations. For church this is like rocking the system.

The admin still hid felons, the pope weakened the protection significantly, though.

I think he did the best he could. He was a kind man who actually tried to solve a lot of the injustice of the church. Far away from being an asshole.

No. I‘ve banned everything which has a status light. I am very light sensible, a TV would kill my night sleep entirely. I don‘t watch TV very often either. Once a week is a lot for me.

For Itsy, it is her emotional intelligence and caring habit. She licks my hand when it hurts (pretty often due to crps) and my head (migrain). And she stays by my side as often as she can.

Jinx is very affectionate, he comes to me running, lays down midflight, headbumping me and wanting cuddles.

Somehow this lasagna looks like a fried frog

If I wouldn‘t have adopted the little jinx i probably would have died. Nontheless, i miss Fenya dearly.

Thanks. I guess it gets a bit easier over time

She was my best buddy for 24 years. I‘ve rescued a kitten already and my now older cat is the best mother she could be.

The next shelter is a bit far away, though, so i am not that often there as i used to be

Can‘t recover from the death of my cat in october. It totally devastated me.

In my opinion Lena should break contact with Ashley. She is a drama person and tries to gaslight your sister.

Actually, I Couldn’t Care less. At This Point I am way to depressed to even Care.

Got raped

It looks like a damaged philips (2?). I‘d say you want to replace it

Oh, not to forget about filament for the 3d printer. My favourite brands (sunlu, esun) are only available though amazon.

Basically every usb cable i have bought. If you try it locally, there are like two bigger chains in every city who sell those at ridiculous costs. To get them at a reasonable price you’d have to drive to a specialised vendor available only in the biggest cities (conrad, elv) or at very remote places (e.g. pollin).

You really don’t know what this is?

It is a (arguably fancy) egg piercer for boiling eggs.

The best beers in the usa (said microbreweries) are mediocre at best compared to the low standard European ones. Sorry to say this, but there are very, very few acceptable beers in usa. Mexicans and Canadian are better.

No hate, but they all lack a flavourful taste.

German, belgium and czech beers are great, Irish stouts are wonderful, and so on. You can grab a random (best: local) beer and it will be a good one.

You have to really look out for an acceptable one in usa. If you are lucky, a microbrewery in your area will produce a good one, but you have to have a good portion of luck here. Most of those good ones are brewed by an „imported“ german brewer who got a formal education on this. You can actually study this in the city nearby me and some students think of opening a brewery in the usa. So naturally i got in touch with some of them. One factor is the hops you can get in the us. The quality and taste is very different to the one we produce. You almost cannot reproduce the conditions you have here in the holledau. Even if you get very good hops the malting and the grain is different (mexicans use corn, which actually tastes very good). Barley doesn’t equal barley, so you have the differences here.

Long story short: the ingrediens are different due to locally available products, the methods are slightly different, so you have a different product. Unfortunately the circumstances in the us are what they are, so you need very experienced personell to produce a good beer.
