I sometimes wonder if I should stand up for my cousin when our parents and grandparents mock her...unorthodox marriage. Had another of those "funny" family meetings today, but I decided not to intervene because she's a big girl and can take care of herself.

At the same time, I'm still her elder brother. I kinda feel I do have a duty to her.

Stand up for your sister-cousin! Family should have each other's backs!

I'll be honest, you're not missing much. It was absolutely the worst part of the series, especially if you want to keep any respect you have for Dot. And then they end on a (permanent) cliffhanger.

Oh boy does that bring back memories. I still remember the day I watched the episode where Enzo lost in the Mortal Kombat game.

That and when he fought Megabyte. Throughout the show it had been hammered in that Megabyte was a physical powerhouse. No one could ever out fight Megabyte, only outwit him at times.

In comes Matrix punching a dent into the virus' chest.

Eh, the first four episodes weren't bad. It was only My Two Bobs onwards that were shitty. And even then, they were mainly shitty due to how Dot was written.

normal coffee; ground up (self or pre-ground) bean powder put in a paper filter, which the hot water then goes through to the pot.

To an extent paper filters have somewhat become less common, I was going to say that like most Americans don't have the time or inclination to make turkish coffee or even operate a french press

and then of course there is the keurig's arrival on the scene relatively recently

[Pax is a caffeine fiend I drink a lot of coffee, I have a lot of coffee gadgets]

There are also metal filters which function just like paper except you wash and re-use it, kinda similar to a french press (which is what I use).

Somehow those feel worse for the planet than a can of cold brew.

It's hard to say. They produce fucktons of plastic waste, most of which doesn't get recycled, but apparently they may also cut down on wasting coffee, and the way people farm coffee isn't even remotely environmentally friendly. So it's kind of an everything is awful situation.
 
I'm kinda split on the black gold. If I get ready for a long night, or just want to keep myself warm, I make myself a pot of filter coffee. But if I only want a little pick me up in the morning, I use coffee pads. But I generally drink more filter coffee than pads.

I don't drink instant coffee anymore, I used to for a while, but I stopped once I got a proper machine. Never looked back since.

I love their products, and I own some stock. That doesn't mean I like everything they do.
 
So, today decided to delete like 99.9% of the porn on my HD. 4~5 TB of data has been removed. Clips and folders carefully curated for over a decade, thousands if not tens of thousands of doujins, CG galleries, hundreds if not thousands of anime episodes, all gone now.

A few folders survived, mostly those that are mostly character fanart.

Was it a regular delete or a format? Because if you happened to have deleted something you wanted to keep, some regular file recovery software could help get them back before they are gone (provided it was a HDD not SSD).
