Cost. I think all of the 5th generation were top loaders. On the cd audio side nice stackable separates were tray or slot. Cheap stand-alones were top.

6th was a split but then I think the perception of slot or tray loading being more prestigious moved everyone to slot/tray.

Plus I think top loaders might have been less secure. I certainly remember a number of physical mods or swap techniques that defeated top loader security very easily.

Same thing happened with videos as well. Started with manual top loaders and then moved to slot.

Oh my god that’s awful.

Nearly as bad as an agency that does that to their own people and that of another nation.

Not seeing a lot of similar articles about Shin Bet though. Wonder why…

That’s very strange. On the recent earnings call the Muskinator said they were bringing forwards the release of new models.

Must have some genius way to do that without the new models team and a charging infrastructure.

Unless he’s just running round saying one thing and then making stupid decisions 2 minutes later. No past evidence of that though…

Anyone remember when he spent all his time talking about colonising mars? That was his big thing and the future. Whatever happened to that?

Then spacex got government funding. Now AI is the big thing.

I’ve still yet to see any of his great visions he’s actually delivered on.

We have sold 1/5 less cars. So we need 1/5 less workers.

And people were questioning if he was worth his enormous pay packet.

Hmmm I wonder if all the liability from their other ongoing lawsuits had anything to do with their quick recall this time🤔

I have an ok machine and regularly use it.

I know a guy who works in the industry supplying machines and another who is a commercial roster. Both say similar things.

A good grinder and fresh beans are far more important. They both say the aeropress is an excellent way to brew and better than most cheaper espresso machines.

My advice based on that would be. Keep using the aeropress but if you want an upgrade get a good burr grinder.

That’s if your ultimate aim is making better coffee. If you just want to get better using a machine and have fun just pick one you like the look of and enjoy.

He looks like a stretched out Robert Downey Jr…

The quote. “Resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die”

It’s like you’re doubling down on what happened. Either they didn’t know/care it hurt at the time or wanted to hurt you but now you’re using your energy to extend the hurt.

When you start getting angry about it acknowledge it but then do something positive for yourself.

Thou shalt spell the word “Pheonix” P-H-E-O-N-I-X, not P-H-O-E-N-I-X, regardless of what the Oxford English Dictionary tells you.
