Her logic is, "I was a bad neglectful parent so now you must pay." Nonsense.

Towels should have labels (colour coded even) on each side and quadrants to show which part wipes your face, which part wipes your body, which part wipes your legs and which part wipes your ass. We are all mixing it out there.

I'm not fond of the perpetual tension. Just awful.

Never got the appeal of these ones. They aren't bad shows, but they did not do it for me.

Game of Thrones

Lost

Better Call Saul

Peaky Blinders

Breaking Bad

After the Promise 1987

Escape from Sobibor 1987

Dang '87 was a tear jerker fest in my timeline.

I only had one in my tire. The other one was on the shop counter.

 

I know they are some sort of nail, but I had one in my tire and at the store found a near identical one and now I'm beginning to think my tire guy is playing shell games. I mean, what are the odds?

I hate this timeline. I'm going to miss him.

Just finished Four Aunties and a Wedding by Jesse Q. Sutanto. Part of the Aunties series, and a series of book I never thought I would read. Brilliant writing, a bit too dramatic for me, but highly recommend if you want to read the funnies.

So this is what I have found as a working solution

Boil about a quarter cup of water. It must be as hot as possible.

Add a heaped tea spoon or two (depending on your preference).

Let it steep for a few minutes, the filter/sieve.

You end up with black liquid as indicated.

I top mine off with hot milk.

That's it. That is what is working for me.

Thanks for the tips.

My default coffee making is to heat milk, add coffee and steep it for a couple of minutes before I sieve it and voila.

This does not seem to work for this coffee. I have tried water, boiling it with the water or milk and it simply will not mix. What am I missing?

Edit: I know about grinding, I have a burr grinder, a French press and I know the various ways to make coffee. None of the methods I know, work.

Burr grinder = bar grinder. I made that mistake.

 

What makes this your car?

 

Hi,

I've selfhosted Grav for two years going to three, but I want to move on to something else. I am looking for a flatfile CMS. I have experimented a bit and the best I found so far is Automad, but it isn't quite there. What alternatives can you recommend? PHP is where I am leaning.

Thanks.

Edit: Given my unclear query, I have struggled themeing. It has always been a pain and for whatever reason, documenting is somewhat unclear.

 

This is test art work from an upcoming project.

 

Above is one of my 2 year old nephew's favourite channels. He watches them everyday. For his parents who work from home, it's the greatest thing. If an ad comes up, he cries and they know something is up.

However, they are clicking the ok button on the TV far too often per video cause of this.

They run that 90+ sponsored content so frequently it's become crap. I've seen Land Rover ads, the one above is a house, and the most annoying is when they run other cartoons like Thomas the Tank Engine or something. If the kid wanted that, no problem. But right now the singing cats are his jam. Cars, property? Someone is paying actual money to get ads in front of 2 year old kids?

Tell me this isn't a scam.
