My brother-in-law made me a coffee snob. So, he surprised me with this Lavazza Espresso. I honestly thought it would taste like "Welcome Centre" coffee, but it was not bad. Sweet, oily, and quite easy to enjoy. But, it's just one of those things where I would only buy it if there were not many other choices.

Pointless fun fact with name drop, cause I am the main character right now, the cappuccino cup I am using came as a set, that was a gift from retired NBA player Danillo Gallinari. They were two, one fell and broke when I was in Texas. I have it in a box and will super glue it together some day. Also included were two espresso cups that I've never used.

My third bag of coffee is Java House Espresso. Now, the person who picked this for me recommended it for its sweet non-offensive taste. That is there. Sweet, nice body, a nice house coffee. The caramel and chocolate taste carry strong here. Its smell dankish but that isn't all bad. Definitely a keeper.

My day starts with this. Now, I'm a fan of Java, they make good house coffees, nice caffeine content and this one is exactly like that. Its a medium roast with a good kick. Its fruity but not strong fruity. I guess their attempt to mix up three country blends will do that. Would buy again, but as a pure house coffee.

After my first batch of Kenyan coffee, a friend of a friend travelled to Kenya and brought me back more coffee.

Artcaffē is a brand of coffee houses based in Kenya and they make coffee too.

This is some seriously good coffee. It comes across as spicy, a bit acidic in a good way, dark chocolate flavour comes in strong, very pleasant smell in the house, the roast in the packet is thick, and it makes for a nice house coffee. Its a shame I got it ground, and not in bean form, but that does not take away from the flavour at all.

This is a coffee I will always try and get. A long term keeper.

I'm looking for an IBM Power8 S822(L) or equivalent for other brands. Which are the better refurbished stores for these?

Thanks.

From my brother in law's holiday, he got this and I tried it. Dang, this is really good coffee. The honey and pineapple come in strong, and sweet and it has some kick to it. I underestimated it, but things got real very quickly. Would most definitely recommend this and I will happily take a second cup and stay up all night buzzing.

My brother in law went on holiday to Kenya and brought me back some coffee.

Now, this is a nice house coffee. I've drank it before, so not my first rodeo. I do like the taste, it actually sticks to the tasting notes for a change. More so the blackcurrant, but you do need to go a bit deep with the spoon to get it out there. Feels a bit weak to be honest, which comes as no surprise.

I will enjoy drinking this.

A lesson I learnt came from a fitness guy I watched. He said, missing out one day happens. Shit happens. Missing out 2 days is a choice.

I couldn't go out yesterday cause a storm came through. So I did 2 times what I normally do. I don't know if the effects will pan out, but at least I can say I did not slouch. I am ~3lbs away from my desired weight.

I bought the Imusa moka pot in Walmart, my first, and I have learnt that I should not have gone economy on this. Its indeed affordable, works, but, its small, single serve, and just feels economy. Biggest pain is the plastic handle that will definitely get ruined cause of being cooked over heat. The manual says not to put it over heat, which is where the moka pot works. Lol. Sucks, but i am espresso cool.

Trying this today, purely for the caffeine content. Made it with my new moka pot. I've moved on from the cowboy sieve method, and to be honest, that pushes out a much cleaner kick.

The coffee itself tastes OK, not the worst out there, beats FDC hands down, and I definitely overloaded the moka pot, but I can see how this becomes an enjoyable cup. I would definitely buy this again.

I've been walking 4.5 miles a day, 5 days a week since Jan 2nd. As of today, I have lost ~53 pounds, gone from being pre-diabetic to normal levels, lost my entire wardrobe in the process, and finally my Vans died. They have been loyal a.f.

Glad they helped me on this journey to better health.

I'm beginning to accept that I may never be in a relationship again. There are life expectations I have for myself, some admittedly selfish, but really, the idea of having to deal with another grownup who is as obstinate as I am has left me disillusioned about relationships. But I want to have kids. I want to be a father. For women, its fairy easy, go to a sperm bank, pick your choice, get the procedure done and you are on your way. What is the process for dudes? I believe its going to involve a surrogate, but where does one get a donor egg and what not? I am not looking to have a relationship with an egg donor or the surrogate, just me and the kids.

Niri + Noctalia on my diehard Lenovo 440S. Colour scheme is Nord. Fun fact, in my install, I don't have a graphical login screen and instead, I boot into CLI, login at CLI, and then call up Niri. Does not affect performance, I can suspend my computer, and I'm not sure if it is a bug, but after a couple of hours of the computer being suspended, it lights up and hibernates itself. I'm not going to try fix it, I think its cool.

I'm shopping for a new domain provider. Just seeing what is out there. I've been with Namecheap for years, and if i had a gripe, it would be about the price hikes, which really are just ICANN prices kicked down to us, but, I am wondering if there is greener grass out there. Recommendations?

Thanks.

** Edit, an update after doing the math. My working matrix for why I am migrating to Porkbun.

Namecheap > .tv = $40.98

Porkbun > .tv = $26.26

Namecheap > .co = $45.48

Porkbun > .co = $31.20

Namecheap > .net = $18.58

Porkbun > .net = $12.52

Namecheap > .com = $18.48

Porkbun > .com = $11.08

Saw this when I was out for my daily 10k steps. The worm never stood a chance.

Shit, this coffee is insane. Now, it costs 9 bucks and change in Walmart, and it tastes like 9 bucks and change coffee. I am however spoiled on coffee so this is a bit arrogant of me to claim.

That being said, that caffeine hits really hard, I could feel my pulse. I was up and really zoned in on work. I have not had a hit like this in years. If you need a cold start, this is a bear slap to the face in the middle of winter. Going to be drinking this for awhile.

I've been waiting on these chillies for two years, and they never produced. I've been distracted by legal and financial shit the past two years, so I wasn't paying proper attention. Then I realized the chillies were killed by helicopter tree seeds and I've been cultivating trees.

By universe, I'm talking a TV show, Anime, Graphical Novel, Cartoon, Movie, a book, heck even time travel.

Tried two different cups on two different day. While Costa Rican coffees tend to have a bit of a kick to them, this was bland. Like a bland spice coffee. You need to go deep, like two tea spoons just to make a half decent cup. Either that, or I drink really strong coffee. Either way,I will pass next time.

This feels wrong posting this here, but I could not find a sub to do this in, so feel free to point me in the right direction.

My dad is an Old Spice Guy, I am an Old Spice Guy, but I am done with P&G and what I think is poisonous and wasteful products.

I am looking for recommendations for organic safe healthy body washes, lotions for dry dark skin and deodorants. I've not had to look for anything other brands for over 25 years, so this feels overwhelming. I just tried Native, and that won't work, so, please, any directions to point me to?

Thanks.
