  • Plastic 1-cup V60 is about the same price.

    The costs is not in the dripper. It’s the €225 coffee grinder, the €200 pouring kettle and €200 coffee scale. Not to mention the specialty coffee at €75 or more per kilo.

  • It’s dark early because it’s winter. DST sucks in summer, we should move the clock an hour backwards in summer, not forwards.

  • Every cat I’ve had during my life regulated their own food intake. The important bit is that they consistently have food available. Once they learn to trust that it’s always there they don’t over-eat.

    They also get a pouch of wet food every evening. Although it is very important to them that they get this (my cat sits next to her bowl and starts staring at me with this “I’m not angry, just disappointed” look about half an hour before dinner time) they don’t even always finish all their wet food.

    It kind of depends on the season how much they eat. In winter they empty their wet food bowls, in summer they eat about 70% and leave the rest.

  • I just keep the bag of dry food next to their bowls. Neither has ever tried to get into it, probably because it’s just easier to eat from their bowls that we ensure has plenty of dry food in it 24/7.

  • Which is a complete non-issue. It’s $99 / year, basically a symbolic amount just high enough to prevent spammers from making a billion accounts.

  • I have no problems with this. Notarizing your app is trivial and takes just a few minutes. As a user I want to know who actually produced an app and ensure it wasn’t tampered with.

  • What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works)

    Jump

  • Same goes for carbon steel. Unless you’re frying sticks of dynamite they are practically indestructible.

  • It’s because the company can effectively print whatever they like for the name of the product with no regard to the actual ingredients.

    That is not true at all. There are laws that determine what you can actually put on your products, especially on food.

  • don't let apple tell you they invented it.

    Why always the knee-jerk anti-apple reaction even if they do something good?

    FYI: Apple isn’t telling anyone they invented this. In fact, they didn’t even tell anyone about this feature and declined to comment after it was discovered and people started asking questions.

  • Back on Standard Time

    Jump

  • Summertime is terrible, especially in summer. You have one less usable hour in the evening.

    During the summer you cannot really go outside until the sun goes down. It’s simply too hot in direct sunlight. Summer evenings are nice, after the sun goes down and the world starts to cool down a little. By moving the clock forwards we have an hour less of usable outdoor-time. It also means you have less time for things to cool down before going to sleep.

    DST makes it so you have to go bed too early, being unable to enjoy the evening, and when you go to bed it’s too hot to sleep, but you have to because you have to get up at a ridiculous time the next morning.

    Instead of DST we should introduce MST (Moonlight Saving TIme) and move the clock an hour backwards in summer. Then we can actually enjoy our summer evenings and go to bed once things have cooled down a little more. The earlier sunrise doesn’t matter since there is such a thing as blackout curtains.

  • I've never been to a grocery store where the self checkout doesn't weigh everything. That's why people keep getting the "unexpected item in bagging area" error that requires an employee to come over to check and clear the error each time.

    Sounds like a stupid system.

    What stores in what country are you referring to?

    Pretty much every supermarket in the Netherlands.

    Here is a video of it in action

    The anti-theft equipment for a system like this that would prevent someone stealing by simply not scanning something is probably a lot more expensive than the usual self checkouts.

    There is no anti theft system other than randomized bag checks where they check up to 10 items from your bag to see if you scanned them. Takes about 1 minute and with daily supermarket visits this happens maybe once a month or so. (I think there is some kind of reputation system linked to your store loyalty card).

    Do you exit the store through a specific gate that scans stuff or what?

    You scan your receipt af the exit gate (you can also scan a barcode from the store’s app or choose a tiny receipt that only contains the exit barcode). You have to go through one or these gates regardless of wether you go through self checkout or not.

    If the store is busy I never try to self checkout since there are lines at all of them

    There are almost never lines at self checkout. There are 16 self checkout stations vs only one regular cashier. Self checkout is super fast and even if they are all occupied one usually frees up in less than a minute.

  • Your entire comment seems premised on the mistaken assumption that every self checkout system is implemented in the exact same way.

    It basically is implemented the exact same way in every supermarket in my country.
