This exactly, except Ibuse a DeWalt. I have found that the brand power tool used has little effect on the taste and extraction, however.

I live pretty close to your area and just bought my first bag of whole bean coffee this week (previously just got pre-ground packages from the grocery). Most of the coffee shops in my area (eTown) use Senergos as their roaster, so that's what we got to start. Excited to try some other stuff regionally.

I don't see how he could have survived. But I hope he did for his sake.

All the time. That and maintenance. I got so much joy from finally having the supplies to change my car oil at home.

We live in a pretty rural area and take a lot of trips on it. We've even camped in the back with the seats down. It's also the first SUV we've owned and just love the versatility of it. But that part is true of any SUV.

I absolutely love our 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited. Have a roof rack on it and it's fantastic at what it does. Just got back from a trip to town with two little ones and a load of lumber on the roof. It's understated styling is just so pleasing to look at and it's really comfortable inside with an amazing sound system. Just all around a very enjoyable (albeit boring) car to own.

Agreed. And believe me you, they'll find a way to screw us all over if we give them half a chance.

I'd say the Ford (I have a Focus ST) but the lotus would probably have it beat.

Fantastic article! I used to love loitering as a kid/young adult. I should do more of it.

That comment sounds a little bigoted.

So, dumb question but what is exploding-heads? Are they actual Nazis or like far-right wackos and MAGA nuts?

My wife and I lead a pretty simple life. I work from home at a low-stress job. She is a stay-at-home mom. We have a small house, a garden, and some chickens. But we have a 3-month-old and a two-year-old. Nothing about our life feels slow or simple. On top of watching the kids there's always tons cleaning to do and house repairs and upkeep. How do you balance things that aren't optional like vehicle/house maintenance, upkeep, and raising kids? Is simple living just a luxury of those who don't have kids?

Or are we already living simply and it just doesn't FEEL simple?
