  • These restrictions are such a shame. Back when I lived in China, people used to ride 3-wheeled electric bikes/wagons (三轮车) but they were banned by the government for being “unsafe”. The thing is everything is significantly closer to home than here in the US. My family would all pile in the back and ride around running errands, getting dropped off at school, going to friend’s homes in that bike. When those were banned, we had to get a car and more 2 wheeled electric bikes to accommodate the loss of our single 3 wheeled electric bike. Even then, we mostly used our electric bikes to get around town. I used to ride 35 minutes on my electric bike to get to school every day. These restrictions make long distance travel on electric bikes just that much more difficult and pushes more people to buy cars. It’s funny how China has been pushing for years to become more like the US in every way except for human rights SMH



  • Usually the more money you pour into a thing the better it gets at one aspect of it which could be really important for some but probably not very important for most. As for the retention issue, I’ve found spraying some water on my coffee beans right before grinding significantly reduces retention. Disclaimer: I use a hand grinder (1ZPresso J-Max) but I’m sure it would work for other grinders too.





  • What a great finale. Between Severance, Ted Laso, CODA, and now Silo, AppleTV content has been top notch.

    ::: Spoiler Warning So was the only reason they showed the fake beautiful word to induce people to clean the camera? Was it to give the cleaners a nice send off? I’m confused as to why they would trick the cleaners at all when the screen showed reality. :::

    Either way, I’m excited for the next season!
