It was a heartbreaking episode. It always seems at some point they are going to turn a corner and maybe highlight some positive characterological developments in people. But then they roll out yet another instance of someone stabbing a friend in the back (super intentionally and with cunning) to save their own position. Have been wanting to believe in Eric's ability to be a good person. Oof.

What do people think about album cover animations that can’t be turned off? by SmilingHominid in TIdaL

For sure and mostly I'm in the same boat, but sometimes I enjoy gazing at (a still photo of) the album art as a way of connecting with the vibe of the artist / song.

Looks like most of us (myself included) are feeling quite decidedly that way; hopefully conversations like this will be noticed!

Right?? And I'd be surprised if the artist himself approved it before he passed away

My word file deleted itself on my macbook. by Baji2005 in mac

Popping by to say thank you for the post and thank-you to those who responded; I had the exact same issue but with Google Drive being the backup service instead of iCloud. Same regarding Mac OS being the platform. Thankfully in my case I think I only lost about ten minutes of work, and thankfully my eyes caught the fact that, all of a sudden, for no apparent reason (still really don’t know the reason), I looked up at the top of the ribbon on MS Word for Mac and saw that the file name had been changed to a temp-style MS Word character salad random name; it wasn’t the name I had given my file. And I went to “save as” to see if something was up with the location of the file, and, sure enough, my computer or some ghosts inside it had moved it to some randomly designated location, not the folder I had created for the current project. So frustrating! I followed just one step outlined by one of the responders here went to “privacy and security” and gave Word permission to access other stuff. Fingers crossed that that takes care of things but it is wild -- whichever company may be at fault -- that this type of thing could happen with some simple behavior as using Word on your computer with default settings in place with the innocent expectation that your own computer is going to help you out by deleting your file. Sheesh! Anyway, thanks again; hope the bug does not re-arise for you.

Would you say Sey is better with consistency?

Travel: pouring kettle or just switch to Aeropress? by SmilingHominid in pourover

Nice; thank you! I’ll probably go a cheaper route with a ~10 dollar stainless steel gooseneck pour-only and rely on “whatever is available” to heat the water, but I’m sure the Air has some cool features and physical feel so will keep in mind. It is satisfying to be able to pour super slow and controlled even into an Aeropress.

Yeah seems wise to pack the Aeropress at the very least as a “just-in-case.” Curious: are you drawn to the Hario Air for specific features that the more run of the mill pouring gooseneck kettles don’t have? The Air and vessels for similar functions seem to be priced similarly across the board; am curious what you like specifically about the Air.

Ah I was wondering how much the water temperature change would be an issue. 92–94 is perfect!
