I have this one and love it, however I’m interested to see what else performs well here. I have serious doubts that this $300+ model (i have one with a carafe) doesn’t have an equal that sells for $100 or less.

Agree completely. I have an older one (no timer — just an on/off switch) with the 1L thermal carafe, and it’s so fast and sooo simple, and sooo easy to clean. You can occasionally find closeouts for cheaper. The key is that it puts 200-degree water right on the grounds, which yields much better extraction. There are…

We got the carafe version of this for our wedding from my sister-in-law. It is amazing.

It’s an automatic coffee maker that lets you stir the grinds as its brewing - this is a great feature.

I didn’t see your post until I scrolled all the way down to find mine, but I second the Moccamaster. Nothing fancy, just quality, long-lasting parts and great coffee. +1, good sir.

Swap it out for the thermal carafe version and we have a deal.

I’ve done both, and the sodium citrate is superior in most cases. you can pack in far more cheese than a roux can emulsify. That being said, I still use the classic roux method for cheese soups.

Everyone panics every time carriers try to do anything remotely inventive with data. The argument goes something like this: “Carrier A is doing X. I know that X sounds great, but it’s really not. To understand why X is bad, let’s look at Net Neutrality, which says that ‘all data is equal.’ Since X doesn’t treat all…

Dammit! I corrected the spelling then put in the old slide. Anyways, yes we didn’t include electrical because it’s not a skill used as frequently as car maintenance and clogged drains. I’m comfortable changing outlets, light fixtures and ceiling fans. I wouldn’t recommend DIYing anything at the panel...

I work in telecom. That is about right (they are doing it at their cost, that is not markup). Most lines nowadays are buried due to the failure cost of poles, and if you are 1-2 miles of trees (roots, etc), that is going to require some level of equipment as well (not like you can run 10,000 feet of signal without…

10% of the population lives in the middle of freaking nowhere. I am surprised we are at 90% saturation. I barely get a cell signal for large stretches of the Mountain States, It is hard to imagine getting high speed broadband to the folks living in those areas.

In addition to what others are saying, you can have LastPass ask for your password again for certain sites (not sure about 2FA in this case). For example, I need to enter my password any time I go to my bank, but not for less important sites.

Lastpass manages access to your vault and its contents. The multi-factor options apply to the vault, not each site’s authentication scheme. You can designate trusted devices, such as home computer and phone, so that it doesn’t always require the second factor when you login to the vault. You can add more security…

You need to 2FA to to log into Lastpass. Once you’re logged in you don’t need to 2FA Lastpass again until you restart your browser (assuming you don’t have the extension remember your Lastpass password)

You can do the 2-factor for lastpass w/o setting it for all sites; it’s actually pretty convenient so you can require additional security on some sites (your banks, ertc) and less on others.

The 2-factor is saved per device like other 2-factor systems. Once you log in to LastPass on a device or browser, it’s saved. If you’re clearing cookies/settings, then yes, you’ll have to use the challenge again just like other 2-factor systems.
