Good point, doesn’t add up…

Didn’t read the article but raw packaged meats are often (depending on local regulation) injected with sodium solutions.

It makes me so happy every time I see a thread that starts with the potential to get heated but ends up in normal conversation / being defused.

What I want to say is, the internet is a better place with y’all <3

(Edit: I thought I should contribute something to the subject at hand too so I’ll just say, as an Ender owner, I’m quite jeallous of op’s first layer.)

Google boiled vs natural linseed oil before deciding! 👍

If left in the french press, the coffee will continue to interact with the grounds even when they’re pressed down. This is not great in my opinion but others might not feel strongly about it. To prevent this, the coffee should be transferred to a separate server to eliminate contact with the grounds completely. A french press doubling as a thermos wouldn’t work for me for this reason.

A v60/kalita style pour over is a bit more versatile (compared to say a chemex or the french press) because you can brew straight to a cup/thermos/server depending on how much coffee you need and whether you need to keep it hot for longer. It’s also quick to clean if you decide you need more coffee than you originally thought.

Other things to consider:

Some people find french presses annoying to clean.

The filter mesh in a french press is usually bit finicky and will let grounds past it in some scenarios (quite often, might depend on build quality though). The edges can also start to fray over time which makes this worse.

A pour over requires your undivided attention for the whole duration of the brew which can be a plus if it, as you say, feels therapeutic but a minus whe you’re in a hurry.

A pour over has a lot more paraphernalia (timer scales, gooseneck kettles) which a lot of people will recommend getting. These are not must-haves for adequate brewing but if you have a budget in mind maybe take these into account too.

Did you have links to specific products?

Did you finish the display?

Took a while but I think it’s an old Romulan bird-of-prey. Any other ideas?

The bussard collector colour seems to vary quite a lot according to Google image search.

There’s a big borg cube one?! This was from a company called bluebrixx (somebody asked in a previous thread)

Great models yet again!

I spent so much time with STO when it first came out. Sadly feature creep ruined it for me as time went by. I played a couple of hours recently though and enjoyed the nostalgia a lot!

I probably still have my pre-order t-shirt somewhere…

These look awesome!

I have a set from Mühle I bought a few years ago and while they work ok it would be cool to try a few different models, especially vintage ones.

Any favourite soaps?

The small ships are so cute… Do you have a shelf for them?

Garden chair by Danish designer Peter Opsvik. It promoted the concept of “best position is next position” in regards to sitting posture and ergonomics. Actually pretty nice to sit in - worth trying out if you happen to see one irl.

If this had been available when I was a child it would’ve been the only thing I wanted!

Hope you do post everyday so I get to marvel at it too 😄
