  • No, I think mine was called a Primula. Want to say I bought it at JC Penny. Not sure if they still make the same model. This one came with a tea/fruit infusion sleeve too but I never used that. If I want to make cold brew tea I just get a dozen or so (black) teabags into a 2qt and let those steep overnight.

  • As I remember it the USB 3.0 chips can cause interference in 2.4GHz range unless shielding is used and the USB chipset is kept far away from the 2.4Ghz antennas. Probably just “juice not worth the squeeze” on the smaller non-pro model, if there’s a significant chance it could interfere with Bluetooth and wifi.

  • My cold brew coffee pot.

    It makes about 2.2 US quarts of cold brew in a batch. It’s plastic, but I’ve used it consistently for over 6 or 7 years now.

    It has a center sleeve/filter for putting grounds in. They should be coarse ground, but I’ve used Cafe Bustelo (espresso ground brick) and had good results.

    Just let it soak for a day or two in cold water.

    Now, I don’t use it per the instructions. After it has appropriately steeped, I pull out the filter, empty it, rinse it, and put the empty filter in a 2qt pitcher, and run the coffee from the brew pitcher into it. This leaves a little extra which goes right into my cup.

    I then immediately prepare a new brew pitcher and drink out of the 2qt.

    That cost me $30 back then, and I brew 2-3 pitchers per week. I don’t know what that works out to in Large Dunkin’s, but I’m sure it has paid for itself, several times over.

  • And touchscreen keyboards (and their haptics) got significantly better, too.

    Most of those cool designs were attempts at either maximizing the screen, giving a qwerty keyboard, or both. There were a few odd ones like the ones with the rotary dials, the n-gage, etc. But now we’ve got a form-factor that gives a real good keyboard and a real large screen.

  • To be honest this would be an incredible lesson one day, or even half day, in high school, once every 4 years or so.

    Not just moments of silence though…I mean every kid circled around every television-cart they could find, watching the real-time footage. Do a phone-check, too. Most people didn’t have mobile internet in 2001 (I did…it was slow as hell on some Ericsson bar phone…had a headset for it that was also an FM radio tuner. Found it on eBay. I was a nerd. And still am.)

    My high school still has teachers working at it that we’re teaching there in 2001. There’s even a few kids I went to school with teaching there now. I’m sure they could piece together a full-scale reenactment of the day from memory.

  • Hear hear. Number one reason to work from home is to wear sweatpants or basketball shorts. Number two reason is being able to scratch my nuts whenever, and that’s enabled by number one. Number three is being able to take a number two in peace pretty much whenever I have to, and not get stopped 6 times in the hallway to it.

  • Dude it’s been like that for a while.

    Ironically, Imgur was created by a redditor and gained its fame as the de facto image hosted for reddit for years before it tried to become its own social media site.
