Thanks! I have a Rancilio Silva, which I like except that it is a single boiler. My first machine was a Breville Barista Pro, which has a very weak wand, but is otherwise a good starting point.
The Breville is much wider due to the built in grinder, so you would have to take that into account.

Jeremy - pneumatic Yersinia pestis is a killer of real note - and if someone dropped a tube of it and died very shortly after - and an entire section of siberia is cordoned off from the world if/if/if then they likely weaponised the bug as it 'sounds' too fast and too 'infective' otherwise -
Not to be "that guy" but it is pneumonic plague not bubonic plague. Same bacterium but lung rather than lymphatic system. Different mode of transmission (person to person rather than by rats). Not better (maybe worse) but different...
Q: What is the US going to do about the risk of bubonic plague coming from Russia?
TRUMP: Well we're looking at it very strongly

Good to know that in addition to being Mad and Trans, the fact that I have a textbook on dialectical materialism, a copy of health communism, and several other communist, anarchist, or otherwise leftist books; I am essentially de-facto guilty even if it's obvious I don't do anything.

Experiential Aspiration
Zen’s aspiration is experiential, not academic. You don’t have to prove the existence of a god before you commit yourself to living a good life. Otherwise, you may never get started.

What's the name of the SD person, since it's not a Dem? (I think...?)
Otherwise, this is my noodle list:
ID - Achilles
TX - Hinojosa (gov) (she sounds close, and Texas state power is such a big thing could be worth trying to get over the line)
SC - Andrews
FL - Nixon
KS - Hamilton
IA - Turek
SD - ?

Because of COURSE they did, since the New Mexico Republican Party is an organization of the otherwise unemployable due to their intellectual and ethical deficiencies.
Two Republican state lawmakers seeking reelection continued to employ a New Mexico campaign canvasser accused of harassing their Democratic colleague even after another GOP candidate fired the man over his behavior, campaign finance records show.

Been thinking about this recently, the “AI music is so good now, people can’t tell the difference!” crowd.
1. I disagree. But even if that becomes true…
2. If I can stop listening to Ryan Adams because he’s a sex pest, I have the capacity to stop listening to music I would otherwise have liked.
