Pretty sure this is just a nostalgia snipe for all of us who grew up with these in our lunch box.

It's coffee freezing day 😎 green for Chemex 4-cup, grey for v60 2-cup. Dump these straight out of the freezer and into the grinder for more more consistency from brew to brew - and anecdotally I think the grind profile is more even as well. Cheaper, too!

There is a leak in our office. Someone helpfully put a bin under it to catch the water.

They gave me a blood pressure monitor yesterday after testing my blood pressure right after my flu jab and finding it to be "quite high". But they said I couldn't see the results. Thing is, this has a USB port on it..

Have you heard the good news? #observability #fosdem

A man holding his hands towards the sky in a lecture hall. A nearby projector screen comes up as a rainbow on the camera. He wears a t-shirt of a black cat, tongue stuck out, aside the single word: "blep".

Singing your question to a #fosdem speaker is possibly the most egregious way to steal attention from a great talk. But I do enjoy singing, and I won't stop.
