    Found this pop up when opening Chrome this afternoon.  I edited to remove the url and phone number.  It reeks like a scam like a dead fish.

    Must be an epidemic.  A third party app keeps trying to activate the Location service on my cell phone. 

    This ain't cool.  Well, I've fixed this problem before, and I'll fix it again.

    I am absolutely infuriated.

    ...grape or raspberry?

    In Germany it's colloquially called a Verkehrmarmalade. so I guess there it would be Orange.

    The tunnel under the river has orangey lighting so maramalade sticky sounds more cheerful than the coagulated artery that it is, can't believe how early it starts to stack up now :0

    I thought this was a PA sale not a DO sale.  Two days in a row some of the real cool stuff are DO items and I am no longer a PC member.  I could get PC again but then that would eat into my little budget.

    Good morning,   First morning in weeks that I didn't wake up sweating in bed.  Cool!  (Emotionally, and climatologically) smiley

    I've been reading web news and DAZ forums and hearing a tune in my head for a couple hours.  I finally realized the tune was the theme from the Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) piano concerto.  It's another one of my favorites but I discovered it only a couple years ago.  Marvelous piece but not part of the usual concert pieces.  I'd love to see it performed live.  It's amazing what the composer does with that little theme during the first movement. Sometimes it's very pointed but at others it's broad and sweeping.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2GuNrwUuiU

    Clear exposition of the basic theme @ 4:10

    more examples at 5:40, 6:00, 6:24,

    marvelous moment at 6:52,

    interesting theme expositions at 7:35, ...

    and of course the end of the first movement as in most symphonies gets very dramatic.  15:00 and 16:35

    The 2nd movement (19:20) is slow but melodic.

    Final movement (28:22) is dramatic again but has its own flavor.

    Picking and choosing at a classical music piece to sample a few sound bytes is like snacking at the pickle tray before Thanksgiving dinner.  Sit at the table, eat the whole meal.  Enjoy! yes Eat enough to justify a belch or a fart. devil

    y'know what this thor's day is?  ... pumpkin spice latte comes out.

    y'know there is a whole level of coffee snobbery of people who look down their nose at starbucks coffee.
    Coffee snobbiests, the snobberiest of snobberies. buh, ebiller snobberies out there than the coffee snobbers.

    Coffee snobbery... That's a good word. I have a fairly good sense of smell (although I usually smell pretty terrible), and a pretty good sense of taste (I imagine the same disclaimer applies) and I'm very good at tasting complicated sauces and dishes and breaking them down into a good copy... But a while ago I was in a specialty coffee shop and (I should add that I went there with a friend to pick up some coffee for party we were at I was already "partaking" of the refreshment beverages at said party, so I was already in "comedian mode") the proprietor was amused by my comments and jokes , but more so was surprised that I knew a bit about coffee and that I could actually identify the sample brews without reading the labels... (I really used to like coffee, but because I'm prone to kidney stones, I had to cut back... A lot)... Anyhooz, he decided to tell me about cold brewing and how superior it is to regular brewing and how in a few years it will replace regular brewing... Mind you, he has this whole glass Frankenstein "still" going... It's, about the size of four regular espresso machines and takes a little over a day to produce a half gallon or so of coffee... I drink my coffee with 1/2&1/2 and brown sugar usually (which I didn't mention), but he goes on about how people who don't drink pure coffee don't understand its flavor or appreciate coffee's complexity... To be honest, I think the place was a little out of the way and he didn't get to talk to a lot of people and he finally found someone who understood him... Be it that, that person was actually a little intoxicated, but he gave me a cup of this complex cold brewed coffee that should have changed my life and started to tell me how I could build my own version of the coffee still... That was one of those complicated moments that reminds me why I shouldn't go outdoors, let alone talk to people when I've been drinking... It was coffee... Just coffee... I forget what the region of origin was now, but it was just that... Coffee from wherever and cold... Actually if I had to be really honest, it tasted like you were drinking coffee in the break room and reading the newspaper and reached for your coffee but picked up a cup that someone left behind several days before instead... I didn't have the heart to tell him it was pretty terrible... I don't know if all cold brew is like that, but if that one cup did do anything, it made me reluctant to try it again... Granted it's just opinion, it could have been fantastic to others, but the fact is I wish I knew why I started telling this story... Megh, is there ever a point to anything I write?     You know, if for any reason any of you ever happen to come across me in public and for some reason, somehow you recognize me from some dumb photo of me that might be floating around somewhere on some forum... Don't talk to me... Save yourself the trouble, I might just start talking to you and you'll wish you had some sort of personal hyperspace transporter or self destruct button like most robots seem to... It's not worth it... I just thought I'd mention that.

    All these fancy nancy places with their long list of poofety type coffees.  I can rember when Mum and I would go shopping fopr coffee. We had to get the bus to the next town, as our little riverside town didn't have a shop that sold proper coffee.  So on the bus we would hop, cost us tuppence happenny each way to get there. In the big dept store we would go to the food hall and Mum would buy 2 or 3 packets of coffee beans. I forget which ones they were, it was a long time ago. 

    When we got back home Mum would then open one of the bags and after she had started dinner cookin she would get out the coffee grinder and grind up enough coffee beans to fill the thingy on the top of the percolator. (Do you rember percolators, the sort that sat on top of the stove)  You put the water in the pot, and the ground coffee in the thingy with holes in it, then put the lid on and put it on the cooker.  The water would bubble up the middle tube and go down through the coffee, you could stand a watch it getting darker and darker cos it had a little glass thingummy in the middle of the lid..  Took a while to brew properly.  That was coffee.

    Those things make the BEST coffee!  I have one for camping and even use it at home on the stove from time to time.  The secret is that it gets the water to 100degrees.  Most home coffee makers don't come close so you don't get the real good flavour.  But, boiling water = 100degrees!  So... yah for percolators!!

    the trick with the percolators is know when it's done.  would go by the aroma.  measuring wasn't tablespoons or teaspoons, it was skooches.  ehhh add a skooch smiley

    Long live percolators!  Made the whole house smell like coffee.  It's when the phrase "Wake up and smell the coffee" had meaning.  Percolators were ubiquitous in every houseold.  Fancy chrome ones, dented aluminum ones, glass ones, enamelled steel ones, simple ones or electric ones.  They made real coffee, whether on a gas range or on a campfire.  No fru-fruy names, just solid coffee flavor that curled your hair and could be used for cockroach deterent.  Back when men were men and women knew how to cook & knit & sew and knew how to deal with 8 kids without having a psychotic breakdown if one of them ate some dirt.

    And Grandaddy had a worm farm. He added the grounds and eggshells from the coffee pot to it (anything organic that didn't go in the slop jar for the pigs).
