Not sure how much I agree on the dairy part. Apart from the inherent ethical problems associated with it, dairy is an all around promoter of cardiovascular disease. My anecdote is that while I was vegetarian, I suffered from high BP and had to be put on meds. Once I went vegan, my BP dropped to the same levels as with meds before. I'm also prone to gout due to genetics. This change in lifestyle had to be the best step I took for my body.

Now, I see why this study had great results. Eating a varied diet, especially rich in whole foods is a good thing, dairy or no dairy. People just want cheese in their diet and that's a compromise a lot of studies do to reduce dropout rate and make people stick to a diet. It also makes dairy companies happy.

I learned what being "gay" was. I've always been a bit effeminate, low crying threshold, I didn't enjoy playing soccer with the boys. That was in first or second grade before even being attracted to anyone. They told me it was bad, gross and that the "gays" look just like me. It was the norm to be homophobic in my country. It still mostly is but not as much. This bullshit was repeated over and over until I left middle school. It took me until my late teens to realize I was indeed attracted to everyone.

So long story short the first bigoted people were my classmate kids, the second was myself.

PS2 in the early 2000s. I thought the graphics were something else. Up until 2005-2006-ish all I had was a bootleg NES clone with a shoebox full of unlicensed cartridges. I grew up with 80s games in the 21st century.

I finally got my hands one one off the flea market for 30$. Some modding later and it plays like a charm!

Pro-EU parties make up the majority of our parlament (Bulgaria) but the vocal far-right party keeps growing election after election. Their whole sentiment is that we need to keep our neutrality and side with Russia(neutral innit?) and the ongoing war isn't our problem...except Bulgarians are dying over there too, we have a sizable minority living in Ukraine and Moldova.

Oh and we're the oldest people in Europe apparently and the Bulgarian spirit will soon be awoken to crush the euro-atlanic imperialists?

Yeah. Populism is one hell of a drug.

Just tried Lucas Zahradnin's recipe from 2015 and it worked so well with the Burundi light roast I had at home. He recommends Kenya but any high density washed coffee works well:

• Inverted method

• 20g finely ground, 5 clicks on the porlex mini... I did it with 8 by mistake but it turned out delicious, I just like having some acidity in my mug.

• 230ml of water at 80°C. I make my own barista water since the one from the tap is liquid limestone here Recipe for the water.

• Rinse filter and preheat. I do it over running boiler water from the tap.

• Add the coffee to the chamber.

• Pour 60ml of water.

• Wiggle the AeroPress for 15 seconds to mix the water and grounds.

• Pour another 170ml of water.

• Fasten the filter cap, flip, press for 30 seconds.

Oh my, just checked that app out. I found Lukas Zahradnin's WAC2015 recipe. Tried it out and oh my did it make the light roast Burundi delicious. Thank you!
