  • What’s your go-to brew method for camping? I find the Aeropress tough to beat.

    Although my favourite camping coffee memories are with my parents’ beat-up old moka pot and pre-ground beans from the grocery store. I love me a good cup of coffee, but sometimes the best cup isn’t about the beans or the brew. It’s about the time, space, and people you share it with. Some of my all-time favourite cups of coffee came out of that piece of crap moka pot.


  • Seriously, “most modern songs”? In the era with the most new music being produced in a massive number of different genres and styles that would have been unimaginable just a generation ago?

    I like the oldies as much as anyone else, heck I only really got into listening to music after discovering The Beatles and '70s prog rock as a teen. But if you can’t find good music being produced in 2025, that’s not a problem with the music industry, that’s a problem with you.

    If anyone reading this struggles to find new artists they like, I recommend checking out NPR’s Tiny Desk concerts as well as KEXP’s live performances on YouTube. I’ve found a lot of artists I love from these sources.





  • I used to be pretty active in my city and province’s subreddits, and while there were occasional assholes everyone was mostly reasonable.

    I went and checked my city’s subreddit the other day and it has gotten substantially worse since I’ve left Reddit two years ago. It’s all people posting the same trashy racist rhetoric about immigrants. We used to post screenshots of those same takes from the local FB groups to make fun of those idiots, now the subreddit is those idiots.


  • Your comments would have been fine in answer to someone seeking support for porn addiction/dependency, but it’s completely irrelevant in a tech community on a post about people circumventing silly restrictions.

    You clearly came into the thread with a specific agenda which was irrelevant to the thread’s topic, and spammed the same comment in multiple replies. What did you expect? I don’t even entirely disagree with your opinions about pornography but do you seriously think this was the best way to communicate your point?



  • I wasn’t talking about people on group rides, I’m talking about people using bikes as a means of transportation. I agree that people in group rides can sometimes be bothersome road users.

    Red lights and stop signs are designed for cars and it’s honestly stupid to expect cyclists to treat them the same way. Studies have shown that treating stops as yields when on a bike is safer for all road users.

    You should know that it doesn’t take “motor vehicle speeds” to cause a (serious) accident.

    That’s not what I said. I was pointing out how your “swerve into a post because a cyclist ran a red light” is a dangerous situation made possible only by the presence of cars.
