I was surprised how heart wrenching Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle was. Growing up I heard it was about meatpacking plants in Chicago. Technically correct, but very much a tale of things not going well. Enjoyed the journey despite the sadness!

Yet another reason to give ProPublica money every month


I guess this is a “good” political outcome for democrats. They can clearly point to the republicans’ failure. But what a sad state of affairs when a good political outcome means millions facing immediate healthcare cost increases. End of Jan shutdown incoming, and even more pain in 2026.
Anyone got a less morose take??


Don’t worry, it’s shadows from overhead power lines ;)


Damn I really hoped I would be inspired by one of these “plans.” I’ve never heard of Thurmond but he gets points for single-payer. All the others want to prop up a system that is more than 2x more costly for worse outcomes compared to our global peers. America has been staring at the solution for decades, yet we can’t muster the will and resources to get it fucking done.
Since the coffee grounds are at ambient temperature, there is no way to prevent a temp drop when you first pour over.
Don’t worry though, it happens with every single brew method. The methods specify the water temp that you pour/brew with, not the outlet water temp.
Sounds like you’re doing enough to preheat your brewing eqpt, but keep in mind if you wet the filter then let it sit for even a minute, it will be cold. Make sure your v60 is nice and hot, that will retain temp much better than your filter.
Overall it sounds like you’re keeping an eye on some of the right things, just don’t worry so much about outlet temp so long as you’re preheating as much as possible. Cheers!
