[06:02] IsambardPrince Then I remembered how often they break down. [06:03] IsambardPrince We have a gas stove here. [06:03] IsambardPrince So I just bought a stovetop one instead. Is it just me or do those make better tea anyway? [06:03] Goblin I think they do.... [06:03] IsambardPrince I mean, it shouldn't be a big difference but I swear I can taste it. [06:04] Goblin maybe its because of limescale build up in kettles [06:04] schestowitz[TR2] schestowitz[TR2]: I thought about getting a new electric kettle. [06:04] schestowitz[TR2] they used to last long [06:04] schestowitz[TR2] when i was a lot younger\ [06:04] Goblin makes the water bitter imo. [06:04] IsambardPrince I flush them out with vinegar sometimes to get the limescale out, but it's not a major problem between getting Lake Michigan water and running it through my Brita. [06:04] schestowitz[TR2] we now boil waiter in the hob [06:05] IsambardPrince There's maybe some very light visible scale after six or eight months of normal use. [06:05] schestowitz[TR2] on the hob you can boil more water anyway [06:05] IsambardPrince Yeah, I got a Cuisinart coffee maker. A 14 cup model. [06:06] Goblin We have a smart meter so I'll have to compare the energy difference between the two methods [06:06] IsambardPrince That's really too big but you can make partial pots. It has a feature that slows it down for 1-4 cup pots so it extracts properly. [06:06] IsambardPrince I had to spend about two hours with goo gone and wet paper towels, dish soap and a scrubber, and descaler solution from Walmart to get it working again properly. [06:07] IsambardPrince But it works and looks as good as a new one now. [06:07] IsambardPrince All the best coffee makers use the #2 or #4 cone filters. [06:07] IsambardPrince For some reason the Bunn style caught on in the US and it completely changes the taste, and not for the better. [06:07] schestowitz[TR2] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- Apparently One Dismissed Speech-Suppressing SLAPP Suit Wasnt Enough For Matt Taibbi | Techdirt [06:07] IsambardPrince Which is odd because coffee is so common here.

[06:09] IsambardPrince I tried the "sensor reheat" button today and it worked perfectly. [06:09] IsambardPrince Just press that and start and walk away. [06:09] IsambardPrince The microwave figures it out. [06:09] IsambardPrince No more checking it every so often and hitting the "add 30 seconds" button a couple more times. [06:10] IsambardPrince I tried it on a bowl of leftover pasta and a grilled cheese sandwich that I had in the fridge. [06:10] IsambardPrince I thought no way this thing reheats a grilled cheese. [06:10] IsambardPrince Well, it actually did. [06:10] IsambardPrince And it still tasted okay. [06:11] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: The one place I actually spent pretty freely was my bed.

[07:16] schestowitz[TR2] good [07:16] IsambardPrince I keep the Comcast on until August 31st. [07:16] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: I told Mandy we will go to the YMCA next Thursday and put him on the housing waitlist. [07:17] IsambardPrince The guy at the Y told me 5 people on the list right now and he's trying to evict two people. [07:17] IsambardPrince Mandy thinks he's going to rent a room at a friend's house. [07:17] IsambardPrince I told him it costs nothing to be on the waitlist at the Y and if he doesn't need it, tell them that when they call him. [07:18] IsambardPrince It's Plan B so he has a place to live if the thing at the friend's house falls through. [07:18] IsambardPrince The Y is 4 miles from my new apartment. I told him in an emergency he can call me. [07:18] IsambardPrince And that there's a Walmart next to a Jollibee he could work at. [07:18] IsambardPrince I've tried to leave him with options that are survivable and where he can actually save money. [07:19] IsambardPrince Not end up dealing with a Piyush that's taking half his paycheck for a place with a billion roaches. [07:19] IsambardPrince I think that's more than fair considering how poorly he treated me. [07:20] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: I think the Y would do Mandy some good honestly. [07:20] IsambardPrince It's a structured environment where he can focus on what to do next. [07:20] IsambardPrince And if he has money that week he can keep staying there, and it's a very reasonable price. [07:21] IsambardPrince People like him need structure. [07:21] IsambardPrince Anyway, it's far from the guy who allegedly hurts small animals and had the wife committed. [07:21] IsambardPrince I like to conduct myself better than that.

[07:24] IsambardPrince I need to go thrifting more now that there's good ones in the neighborhood. [07:24] IsambardPrince I picked up some more of those Masters of Classical Music CD sets. [07:25] IsambardPrince 79 cents each [07:25] IsambardPrince Still looking for a good TV for the bedroom. [07:26] IsambardPrince They had one that looked promising.

[22:08] IsambardPrince I said "That 'Oh, it's only 30 cents a bottle.' thing really adds up when you're going through more than twenty a day."
