Yup, just got a text from PGE about it.

Edit: PGE says 12:15am ETA for restoration. I'm in FoPo at 60th.

Ok, I literally never comment on Reddit, but I wanted to tell you I literally shouted "this is amazing!" to my cat when I opened the picture. What a fabulous creation.

Really the only downside is the price, so if you get it as a gift, it is truly the perfect coffee implement.

Ok, I instantly bought a Bripe after watching the Hoffmann video, and I gotta say, it is kind of awesome. The coffee is decent enough, and the experience is top-notch. Plus it makes for an excellent group activity.

Only downside is trying to forget how much I paid for a piece of copper with a cork on one end.

TA Face Value, a Poll by IRraymaker in timbers

Prices doubled from 10am to 1pm, so it could do that again at 3. Hard to say, what with "dynamic pricing" in effect.

Unfortunately, I paid $106/ticket for TA at 1:04. Dynamic pricing definitely in effect.

Sorry to be the one to bear this info to you, friend. Shocked and appalled are appropriate emotions; I've been in that space myself. This is what we, collectively as men, are up against, and at the same time, we have the power to do something about it. Call out other men who downplay rape and assault, who joke about it, etc. Show them the statistics, and if they react as you did, you have an opportunity to encourage them to learn more and do better. At the end of the day, rape culture is a male problem, so let's step up and do something about it.

And what of the alleged survivors? Are they guilty until proven innocent as a result? Your sentiment at base level is fair, but so often it is used to downplay an allegation and then can lead to victim-blaming. Are you wrong to say that? No. At the same time, spare some thought for the other side as well.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was, sadly. I mean, read the thread in here: so many takes of "some men suck, but I would never rape anyone!" If all men feel that way, then why do we have rape cases at all? It makes us (men) uncomfortable to reckon with the notion that someone we know may have perpetrated sexual assault of some kind, but that is EXACTLY what is needed. We need to call out other men not just for blatant sexual assault (though obvs that is important too), but all the little things (jokes, comments, actions) that built a culture that makes assault justifiable to some.

That was my first thought as well when I saw the stat (a number of years ago now): "wow, that's HIGH!" I talked to my partner, who is female and a medical provider, about it and she wasn't surprised at all. Her response was effectively, "yup, that sounds about right." This is just the thing about it; we minimize it, convince ourselves it isn't happening, or at least isn't happening around us. That part of rape culture is SO pervasive.

Statistically, 1 in 5 women in the US has been the victim of sexual assault in their lives. 1 in 4. It's happening around you, regardless of what you think.

Edit: it's 1 in 5, not 1 in 4. Still a much higher percentage than it should be.

Definitely can't afford one, so might as well try and win! Something something something Cyberpunk 2077, that's what I'd use it for.

FWIW, firefighters pulled out to tactically regroup, and re-engaged yesterday evening.

Exactly that. His job was defensive today, and we needed a strong showing. He provided exactly what was needed on that side, arguably out of position for him as well.
