I thought about a Keurig, but they're pricey, not that much coffee, and the DRM on third-party cups was a dick move.

Might go French press.

I saw a comment yesterday saying it's not pedophilia because she was 14 and not prepubescent...

What the **** is wrong with people?

There's another legal term other than pedophilia. It's like saying it's not murder but manslaughter.

Both are reprehensible.

And in some states you can marry a 14 year old with parent's permission. (Shudder). And if you then take your child bride to a different state where you would be locked up for having sexual relations with a 14 yr old, you're OK, as when you're legally married in Alabama,you're legally married in the rest of the US. (Shudders).

As long as she is OK, and there is no evidence of coercion or abuse, it's may make us uncomfortable, but we're not harmed by it.

Keurig coffee is convenient - I stay at a lot of Hilton Garden Inns and they have a contract to put a Keurig machine in every room. However, the coffee it makes is not very good if you're a coffee snob like me. I personally think it's just an overpriced caffeine dispenser.

We have this, which might appeal if you like cold brew - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/arctic-cold-brew-coffee-system#/. We use 15tbsp in 1500ml. Brew for 24-48 hours and store in a large pitcher (you can store it in the brewing pitcher with the filter removed, but we are usually brewing and storing at the same time).


My issue with Keurig is the amount of waste they produce. (and the crappy coffee). Small batch brewing of coffee is appealing. .

I dont need to make 8 cups of coffee so a Keurig is perfect. I buy compostable cups (San Fransisco Bay Brand Kona) and it is delicious and exactly the amount I need.

This, I drink one cup first thing in morning, its perfect for me. Not a coffee snob so I don't care if its not great. I had a coffee salesman tell me flat out, if you are used to drinking a particular brand of coffee, everything else tastes bad.

People who drink their first cup of coffee cold cannot be trusted.

what gets mookie here is cream doesn't exist. NO PLACE has cream to add. mookie's hotel where he eats breakfast every morning is hot milk, hot skimmed milk, or cold milk to add.

no cream either at the starbucks at work.

weird.....

Get a "My K-Cup", it is basically a pod sized metal mesh filter that you can put any grounds into you'd like and just rinse out and re-use. It comes with the Keurig if you get it from Costco or Sam's or similar, or they're like $8 on amazon.

#BoycottKeurig and #IStandWithHannity are the trending Twatter hashtags.

Because that totally worked when conservative snowflakes poutraged over the Starbucks holiday cups that weren't "Christmasy" enough for them, and boycotted. That's why I never see a Starbucks every mile anymore - that really showed 'em who's boss!

Even better, it looks like High School Graduate Sean Hannity bought 500 Kuerigs himself to give to people to smash. What a great way to run a boycott!
 
Re: 115th Congress. In Bridge, Can Hearts be Trumped? In Spades!

Since the average age of the Hannity audience is like 75, can we be sure they can successfully smash these Keurig machines without throwing out their back or dropping them on their own feet?

The term you are dancing around is statutory RAPE. Can't imagine why that term is not coming to mind....

Actually it's molestation. Pedophilia is for children ~13 and younger and molestation goes up to age 18.

That depends upon what's actually happening. If intercourse took place, it'd be statutory rape. If it was fondling, kissing, or some such, then it'd be molestation.

HS graduate Sean Hannity who supposedly became a conservative when he binge-watched the Ollie North trials, and became incensed that The Great Patriot Ollie North was being bullied in a political witch hunt over Iran-Contra. :D

Yes, I read one of his books, and IIRC that was the genesis for him.
