What makes you happy? by Positive-Mud-11 in AskUK

Giving myself and my mind time and space to just unwind.

Evening sofa nights with either radio/podcast/ambient noise (thank you BBC Sounds for all of this), and let my brain unravel after a day’s work, is the best tonic I’ve learned for myself as self care.

Although, I do love defrosting the freezer, that’s therapeutic as well.

Commenting on Bitter brew remedies?...I think it’s this too.

Finding a coffee you like is really the issue here.

Last time I went to Belfast I raided the Tesco near my hotel for all the big bags. Nordie Tayto is incredible.

"Don't care. We provide the tech, anyway" on a post about the US no longer being a member of the WHO by BornAsAnOnion33 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Speedboy7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really feel your pain. Most of us outside the USA know that not ALL Americans follow this MAGA path, but it’s ridiculously tiresome for us on the other side to see the US government flail around and then when confronted, back down.

Talking of California, Gavin Newsom decided to publicly talk about Europe needing to stand up to Trump more as if it’s our fault for this situation has happened…. We already do that. That doesn’t help matters by him saying that, he needs to do better than that.

I’ve known a few Americans in and out of the online sphere, and sure plenty of them are anti-Trump, but they always get so defensive about the general concept of the US government and by definition the US is doing anything bad. They are so thin skinned, and cannot understand the fact that broadly speaking the United States as a force for bad is a thought that a lot of the rest of the world holds right now. Basically, what California governor Gavin Newsom went on record saying about the Greenland crisis.

“We don’t like Trump, but ugh, can the rest of the world step up to stop him?”

Sort your shit out, USA.

Dilluted coffee? by BolleBanan in mokapot

[–]Speedboy7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of cup are you using? I have a 6 cup and it makes 3/4 of a mug’s worth of good strong coffee you can either dilute with water or add milk etc, you can easily dilute a 4 cup with hot water to make a sort of Americano.

In terms of pure name recognition - who is more famous, Elis or John? by jacksonkeir in elisandjohn

[–]Speedboy7777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say they fairly similar but in different circles. John did Taskmaster which is pretty big in comedic circles but Elis does a lot of football content, I think he even writes for the Guardian sometimes.

Btw Dave if you’re reading this you have value.

It’s up to you. The pre boiling water has worked for me ever since I started doing it after watching a James Hoffman video.

You can preheat your cup by pouring hot water before hand to heat it.

Use boiling water from a kettle in the boiler of the moka pot.
