Italy uses medium and dark roast coffee beans depending on the regions you were in. Roma, Napoli, Milano, all have diff beans so start there and find similar beans. Then to make it, Espresso is unfiltered, high bar. But at home, Italians use Moka pots which mimics this process. There’s a couple tricks for it (like grind size), but in the end it’s not complex and the taste is there. You can find the Lavazza brand in most stores like Trade Joes, and Lavazza is also common in Italy and also happens to be made for Moka pots.

Source: I lived there for a while and love espresso but don’t care to go through so many hoops to make it. I promise you, Italians don’t either.

+1 for moka.

Yep. It takes a minute to break that mindset. Worse is remembering on trips, like on my last one I forgot to take a pic while walking the amazing vineyard.

Feels like a meat market, but the effort helps.

I may or may not be one of these people that suck at selfies. But damn if my profile pics weren’t top amateur talent from my sister. I may not have had dating life partner success(yet), but I’ve had a good number of dates that went some distance.

I repeat for those not listening: Effort pays off.

Look, I did it at 47. Take the time to make a good profile, ask for help on pics and be an authentic you. It’s a mess out there, for those that never try.

Pays well too. The price of their morality for a lifetime of pay and free healthcare. Because let’s face it, these idiots get FEHB healthcare for life for being in congress because they made it so. They get a salary AFTER they served too, after Min 5 years, but they get 80% of their salary as part of a pension. Insane nonsense if you stay for 20 years compared to what we get.

What do you want to bet that he has some signature setup for any post so he doesn’t misspell his name again. I call it idiot proofing his posts. Though, he’s still an idiot.

Hellmo, making sure that the kid knows this is peak life right here. Someone feeds you, someone wipes your ass. But tomorrow, well tomorrow you’re on your own. Hellmo welcomes you.

He doesn’t know, that he doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing.

My sleep deprived brain trying to process the 4th thanksgiving. Like, I only get one and this guy gets 4. I’m going to go to sleep now, you should also invest in some commas. :)

And deporting those murderous illegal aliens stealing our jobs and eating our pets!

USA! - Now with more scams!

Sheesh people, it’s “fuck around and find out”. Probably more appropriate in the leopards eating face context but this works enough.

We Americans do occasionally get the dollar coin redesigned. Sometimes our leaders are forward thinking and recognize important historical figures. I have a few with Sacajawea on it.

VSA is just like the polygraph. It’s a pseudo scientific test that really takes advantage of most humans subconscious desire to be truthful. You can’t read the graph, most regular people can’t read it either, but the police tell you this is backed by science and they just need to convince the subject they “know” they are lying so they confess. The science is weak, depends on loose interpretation of the human body, is not the same results from human to human or even same human multiple sessions. Oh and wholly depends on the subject feeling guilty and wanting to confess. Helps when they are heavy religious too.

INAL - This internet stranger would advise no one ever willingly take a test (guilty or not). These are NOT admissible in any US court but everything you say, is. The questions asked are often leading, vague and a single “negative“ will lead to more questions.

I don’t want democrats anymore. There, I said it.

Seriously, you’re not enough for this old liberal man. I want a safety social net that also protects our lives and every generation to come. I want FREE (paid by taxes) healthcare, education and a working wage with 30 hour weeks. Tax anyone 99% that makes more that 10mil a year. Promote business who have a human benefit purpose. Tax churches that we can prove promote hate, tax corporations that only care about profit… tax items not made to last or be recycled…

Is time my liberal friends, it’s time we write our own project HUMAN playbook.

Going down on my girlfriend in about 20min before bed. I will now never not see the sarrlac. Also, for you morons thinking to just lick the clit, ASK. girls know what feels good and will tell you.

So far I’ve heard from a few, including my mother, that it’s unnatural in gods eyes and needs stopped. No idea why this god is sitting on their ass, doing nothing. But hey, I’m an atheist and think this is the final death throes of a dying culture of hate.

BINGO!!! what did I win?

I laughed a little too hard at this, because I just don’t love the beach. Felt like I should send it to my friends who are beach nuts, but looked down at my toast with honey I was eating and realized how much we enjoy things that are made by the excretion of other creatures.
