Me, too. I presently use the original Nomiku, which is great but was horrendously late, too. The new Nomiku looks like a winner except for being non-existent so far.

Credit unions are awesome. I dumped all my commercial bank accounts. I have multiple accounts, business and personal, automated transfers, intelligent overdraft protection, and access to a huge network of ATMs (including every 7-11). All free.

You know what I add to eggs?

By the way, I would not depend on either of these as my sole backup. My primary backup in on-premise to networked hard disk and the off-site backup is in case the others fail, I have a fire, etc. So they don’t need to be awesome, they mainly need to be dependable.

Long time Crashplan user. Loved it greatly until I had to restore a volume that imploded. It took more than a week. It inexplicably started and stopped, slowed strangely. Their support staff was helpful and worked hard to help. Many issues, including strange sync issues, then their servers were unavailable during a…

I love Alton but honestly, mine is more perfect:

New update: Cook’s Illustrated (America’s Test Kitchen) has released a new book on cooking with Pressure Cookers. Great book.

I called mine “poo.” No idea you could use emoji. Mine is now named as yours is. Love it.

Fair point, and it’s not as black and white answer this suggests. It’s perfectly fine and I have hired people who had no higher ambitions. But all else being equal, I would rather hire someone who is always on the lookout for better ways and wants to grow self and company. Doing the job with skill and devotion is…

Seriously???

Short answer: Yes. But don’t listen to me. Order one from Amazon and if you don’t like it, return it. I think you’ll like it.

I agree. Would be more accurate to say it’s a hybrid of a French Press and a drip filter. It extracts like a FP (especially if you leave it to steep longer than the instructions suggest) but then the paper filter leaves the coffee much cleaner than the FP, which leaves some particles.

+1. The main point of this video is: “See how clever we are.”

Looks like a great book! Thanks for the tip.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
